Skids (ROTF)


 * Skids is an Autobot from the live-action movie continuity family.



Skids is one of the Twins. Skids claims he's smarter than his brother Mudflap and seems to believe he's more mature, though in claiming so he has a tendency to blabber on and on and on... He has an oversized right arm and a oversized right eye. He also has a tendency for starting fights with his brother. Both he and Mudflap started out disguised as an ice cream truck, both merged together as one half of the truck (And even had a bumper sticker that said "Decepticons, suck my popsicle.")

"'This is combat, man. What's wrong with you?"
