Mudflap (ROTF)


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



Mudflap is an Autobot and the twin brother of Skids. He transforms into a brick-red Chevy Trax concept. He has a hyper personality and, according to his brother, "zips around like a maniac." It seems he doesn't get along with Skids when it comes to ideas of fighting and strategy; that remind you of some other twins?

""You're never eating me! I'm gonna bust your face up!!""

Revenge of the Fallen film


Mudflap, who originally transforms into half of an ice cream truck, fails to capture Sideways in Shanghai, China. When he returns to the N.E.S.T. base on Diego Garcia he scans a new vehicle form, that of a concept car. Initially he wanted the "green one" but his brother beat him (literally) to it so he takes the red-orange one. They then approach and accompany Bumblebee who rescues Sam Witwicky from Megatron and Starscream. The twins then accompany Wheelie, Sam and friends and in their search for the ancient Seeker Jetfire and is teleported with them to Egypt. Finding themselves at a dead end, Mudflap's brawl with Skids uninentionally causes them to find the Tomb of the Primes before Bumblebee tosses them out. The twins then accompany Simmons and Leo into devising a plan to destroy the Solar Harvester. They encouter Devastator, in which Mudflap is sucked in by Devastator's vortex grinder while attempting in vain to hang on for dear life. Though swallowed, Mudflap breaks out of Devastator and busts up two optics as he and Skids battle against the giant before the two are knocked out. The two are not seen or mentioned for the remainder of the film. They run for cover with Simmons and Leo though, so presumably they survive.

Toys



 * Mudflap (Deluxe, 2009)

Pretty much has the same transformation sequence as the new-and-improved Skids, but the over-sized arm has a firing missle gimmick, and the over-sized eye and fist are on the left. One of the more  annoyingly difficult Deluxe figures to transform...along with his brother. His license plate says either "TRAX" or "MUDFLAP".

Mudflap transforms into the back half of the humble ice-cream truck in the movie. Mudflap is the larger back half of the truck.

Trivia

 * Don't let his looks fool you. His personality gets him all jittery.
 * In the movie novelization he is depicted with a lisp.
 * Much like his twin brother, he likes acting like a ninja.
 * While trying not to get eaten by Devastator he said he had kung-fu grip.
 * It may be possible that Mudflap has a super strong armor. Otherwise how could he get swallowed by Devastator without being extremely damaged.
 * Along with Skids; ignited a firestorm of controversy due to allegations of racial stereotyping, based on their behavior and appearance. The fact that he speaks in Ebonics and is admittedly illiterate doesn't help. However Micheal Bay defended them by stating that the way they speak was chosen by the voice actors that played them.
 * If you look very closely, there's Cybertronian ingraved at his left ear and right eyelid
 * Mudflap is close to having an attention deficit disorder (so it says in the book Transformers: The Movie Universe).
 * There is a 2009 Burger King commercial of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen that starred him and Skids.
