A Twin Twist : Bay Says Skids & Mudflap Not Returning In Transformers 3

Posted on 05-11-2010 at 03:40 AM by NIBMRatchet under Transformers Movie (Just Movie) (All Transformers Movie News)

Director Michael Bay left a comment in a thread at his official web site saying "The Twins are not back in T3".

This might be a misinformation or maybe not?

Fans did report seeing Bay directing a scene involving Skids and Mudflap in LA for Transformers 3. But what do you think of the motive behind Bay's comment?

Mis information campaign kthx. Why would they have the Twins on set if they aren't even in the movie?
Recall
I'll wait for the movie itself before I believe anything.
Doug
Remember during filming of ROTF, Bay reported that Megatron will not return.

So you can't believe everything he says.
DrLee
There is that...

So, will this miss-information drive actually work this time round? lol
Master Fwiffo
Bullpocky.
David Hingtgen
Don't worry, there'll be a replacement robot with even more crass and bathroom humor. It'll be like the twins and Wheelie combined...
encline
well...maybe he means they have matured.

Good. I'm glad they won't.
ORIO
I would be SHOCKED if they weren't in the 3rd installment.

Dunno if this is Bay trying to start a miss-information drive for TF3 or not... but i think it would be a shame if they weren't. I know they rubbed a lot of people up the wrong way, but i liked them.
I agree....it would be horrible if they didn't return
they better be in this...or i will be pissed

I don't want the twins in the movie, and if Bay says they aren't, gets my hopes up, and then puts them in anyway, then that's turbo douchy.

Dude, they're in. Don't get your hopes even 0.00000001% up.
cbff
Maybe he means that BOTH won't be back, thus making one die and the remaining one no longer a twin?

That could be interesting actually... and make sense as to why one of them throws the Smart Car around
ectoneon
The twins are bays personal creations. There's no way they won't return.
Dirge121
Not really buying this. Bay isnt very good at creating or maintaining a campaign of misinformation.
Still, I'd be pretty bummed out if the twins didnt at least get a cameo. I actually really liked the designs of them, and the personality didnt get me frothing at the mouth.

In b4 derp derp ur a racist derp

The followings are my personal comments as a fan and NOT TFW's

Two Reasons To Believe Michael Bay Is Lying

1) The Twins were seen on the set and they weren't just lying around, but rather a cruising scene was shot. And Bay was there directing it.
2) After what he said about Megatron in the 2nd movie (Megatron will not be in ROTF). This might be a misinformation.

Megan Fox said she'll act topless in Transformers 3. NO WAY that's going to happen. The TF Live Action movies are all about selling toys. which means kids are involved. Besides, kids love Skids and Mudflap. NO WAY Hasbro not going to include both characters in the 3rd movie.

Oh Michael, you SLAY me..
BB Shockwave
Does the guy need attention so badly that he starts such blatantly obvious misinformation campaigns? I mean, he should just accept the fact that due to the internet, nowadays all movies' script and info gets leaked sooner or later.
Tr4nce
I would like it if they are not returning for TF3! They don't fit in in the dark, mythos exploring, mature sequel that I am envisioning
Backscatter
Mr. Bay is just trying to stir the fans up.
indie
i'm actually surprised that he's not dedicating the movie to them. Think about "Transformers 3: Rise of the Twins".

eeh, i don't mind them. But i also don't want them to get more screen time than characters like Ironhide, Ratchet, Soundwave etc.
Starscreamer95
Wow. Right Bay. We believe you. Even though we have reliable sources.

I swear.. He lies as much as I do.

I would be shocked if they didnt come back for this movie.
deceptifocus
seriously though, theyd be doing us and themselves a favor by getting rid of them, i mean i didnt mind them much BUT the movie did not need them, the figures with those face and bodies sucked IMO. but im disheartened to say my gut points to this movie being just like the 3nd, and not a better, revisioning attempt at making the TF movies better instead of what the 3nd one was compared to the first.

I liked them as well. Perhaps they get killed at the beginning? Or perhaps they get melded into one character somehow, early on?

I think you misunderstood his intention. I don't believe he was looking for attention for himself, but to deflect attention from leaks by claiming that they're just fake.

In the case of ROTF Megatron, one assumes he wished to keep the return of Megatron a relative surprise for his target audience, hence misinformation.
shroobmaster
Soooo... we see videos of 'em and he just says no?

Is this some kinda joke?

This is the first thing I thought of too when I saw the thread title.
SilverDragon
Yeah, well he said Megatron wasn't returning in RotF, and look what happened.

I wouldn't. They were funny for the second movie, but as far as getting an encore of these oafs...... That is unless they redesign and reformat their personalities and robot modes.
doomtron
with as many people that hated them he wants people to think that. i had been getting my hopes up again but just seeing theyre names reminds me not to
RHALX
Come on, he said megatron wouldn't return because he didn't want to spoil the scenario.

The twins are useless and caused controversy. If he says they don't come back, it's probably true.
Baccala1976
I really, REALLY hope this is true.
MekaGojira3k
I honestly hope this is misinformation, I dug the twins.
Fort Max
Not Really a surprise, they survived, might as well reuse their models.
DecepticonsRule
There's no way this is true. The Twins were one of the most featured Autobots in ROTF.
My guess is Bay is trying to pull a "Megatron" on us.
enkidoamark
This would be an incredibly douche move if it's not true. 99.9% of the people that fueled the huge financial success of the second movie will not be searching the internet for leaked details of the third. The fans pour over this stuff and we've been pretty loud about how much we hated these guys. So if this is fake, I see it as a direct "screw you" to all us fans that have been so critical of his work. The number of people who actually want the twins back and also spend time on the web looking at this stuff has to be pretty small (I know there are some of you and I'm not downing your opinion).
unicronic
The Twins are dead, long live the Triplets. Skids, Mudflap and long lost brother Screech. Noooooooooooooooooo
HIM666fan
i liked the twins as much as people hated them ididnt see them as anyhthing bad just there for humor.

but it wouldnt be bad if they o say get killed off in the begining of the movie or somthing along those lines... i wouldnt be upset lol

Voiced by the Saved By the Bell dude.... LMAO!

Actually, in all seriousness... i'd love to see a Smart car Autobot
Thundercrackah
If Bay is lying then I don't really mind these two being back as I had no problem with their characters.

However, if they AGAIN get more screentime than guys like Ironhide, Ratchet, Sideswipe and any new Autobots that show up, then that is not cool.
Vector Squidma
The two cars we saw could be two Decepticons impersonating the twins and trying to frame them. And didn't one of the cast members mention two Decepticons assassinating someone?

I mean it's a possibility...
Omegax80
Maybe they are in it, and die a brutal, painful death courtesy of Menasor, Piranacon, Bruticus, Trypticon, and every other large combining, base-like transformer. Hell, have Unicron show up, eat them, and then leave.

I am sure Bay is lying. But one can hope anyway.
caitlindevi
Oh so either its a lie, or theres a couple of decepticons pretending to be the twins to give the autobots a bad name, or the twins are not the twins and have been decpticons in disguise all along.

Or and this is a fingers crossed 'oh please let it be this' whats been films so far is a beginning montage type thing (like we got last time) and they get wiped out by some decepticons in a mirror to the start of the last film but with the cons winning
Auto Morph
Mis.

Information.

The twins will be in it.
