    Are the Ice Cream Truck Skids and Mudflap more scale accurate compared to the Deluxe cars, or are they supposed to be the same size as Bee, Jazz and Sideswipe?

    The ice cream truck twins aren't even scale accurate to each other. Skids is just barely above Legends class size and Mudflap is bulky Scout size figure.

    yeah i think for scale the HA Skids and Mudflap are in scale with HA BB. In the movie BB was taller than them two and for scale those work best, IMO.

    Here's all of the deluxe figures together.

    Here is Mudflap with his Tuner redeco.

    I definitely prefer Skids because his green paint makes both of his figures pop out more than his brother's orange paint.

    Most of my cars are Deluxe, so I guess I should wait for a Scout class Skids and Mudflap to come out then.. but then their vehicle modes will look too small.. or would they?

    You can always stop caring about scale (since Transformers toy aren't built to scale anyway) and just enjoy figures for what they are. Also, I don't think there will be any scouts of these two made in their ROTF forms.

    So happy for this thread. HA skid's is one of my favorite bots. Such a great figure. If only I'd SEE a HA mudflap I'd be a happy camper.

    Deluxe Skids was my biggest target for a while. I finally found him, and I was thrilled. They look great together.
    I'm definitely grabbing me some Movie 3 twins.

    Yeah, I thought it was a bit weird that Deluxe Skids was so hard to find. Meanwhile, both versions of his brother became defining pegwarmers. I had to resort to purchasing my Deluxe Skids from HTS.

    I got lucky on one of the revision waves. I went to Walmart expecting the great wall of Flap, but I saw some green, jacked it.

    Turns out that Skids isn't as small as I remember him being. His brother is just way bulkier.

    I was kinda interested in Tuner Skids before, but now I NEED him.

    I'm probably gonna get that FAB 2-pack as well when it's released.

    I originally didn't want Tuner Skids, as I thought the first Skids and Tuner Mudflap worked well enough (the paint design on the side), but seeing the bumper sticker and license plate...damnit, I need 'em.
