Last year it was reported that the two racist caricature Autobots from Transformers 2 Skids and Mudflap would not be in the sequel Transformers: Dark of the Moon, which everyone seemed extremely happy about. Since then rumors have been going around that the two characters are actually in the film. People say they’ve seen them in the trailer for the movie, and there’s also a review of the film on AICN that was posted this weekend that said the characters were in the movie, that review has since been changed and doesn’t mention the characters being in the film at all now.
Director Michael Bay addressed this issue on his blog once again confirming that Skids and Mudflap are not in the film, and that he will give a $25,000 reward to anyone that finds them in Transformers: Dark of the Moon.
After the internet posting of a nice review by someone who saw Transformers Dark of the Moon, the writer had not been clear on one thing. He misstated that the Twins are in the film. They are not.
So I am offering a $25,000 REWARD to anyone who can find them performing in Transformers 3, on July 1, when the movie opens.
Michael
Of course there’s always the chance that the twins were in the cut that was shown, and Bay could easily cut them out of the final product before it hits theaters. There were a lot of commenters talking about how the twins are in the trailer, Bay addressed this as well saying,
The Twins are not in the movie. You will not find them anywhere. Trailer houses sometimes use shots that are not in the movie! End [of] story[.] I’m done wasting my time [on] this!
