They were in the book just for a little bit, but they had an awesome scene. Just for that, they should be in the movie.

Pretty much this. I suspect it's half-truthes and minced words on Bay's part to keep controversy low until release day. I fully expect them to be in the film.

What about Hasbro's/paramounts press release about them not apearing in the movie?

I remember the same thing happening to Jar Jar Binks in relation to Attack of the Clones. I also remember he not only showed up in it anyway but he also created the Galactic Empire by mistake, which in the grand scheme of Star Wars is a pretty big role to play. The lesson here is don't believe what you hear until you see it for yourself.

And he's under orders from the same people as Bay, which leads back to my point posted above.

I consider it confirmed that they are not in it. However, I'm going to explode if they are in it. :BOOM:

Those 2 get on my last nerves.

considering that "brains" appears to be wheelies sidekick the twins even if theyre not in the movie have replacements (hangs head in sadness and shame) #-o

by **Tgd124** » Thu Jun 16, 2011 9:09 pm

in all honesty wheelie was more annoying to me then the twins. and i think the idea of him living with sam and his new gf instead of the "warrior goddess" is stupid. it's like if your best friend broke up with someone and you stopped hangn out with your pal to chill with someone you just know as an aquaintence. and i don't like the whole idea of brains being a 2nd weelie.

The actor of Skids mentions that he did work in t3 for the twins.... so maybe they really are in it, and they're just keeping it secret like george lucas did for sebastion shaw in star wars 6.

to be fair, they could have done voice acting and then cut out towards the end.
Ah screw it... I'll just wait till the 29TH. Thats the only way we'll know for sure.

Didn't the very first DOTM review say Skida and Mudflap were present but "toned down"?

Starscream GaGa wrote:Didn't the very first DOTM review say Skida and Mudflap were present but "toned down"?

Nope, they said, and I quote
"Without fail, they take us out of the action on the drop of a dime, they aren't funny, and we don't need comic relief like this anyway when we've got street-smart little robots to entertain us. Yes, they're back too, but let's just say they're toned down. [Hey, everyone. Just to be 100 percent clear, I'm not referring about the "The Twins" here; they are most definitely not in this film. I'm talking about Wheelie (Tom Kenny, who also voiced Skids in REVENGE OF THE FALLEN) and other similar smaller robots, who act like streetwise teenagers.]"

It can be found here, at the 11th paragraph towards the end (you'll see something about Wheelie)

I believe that quote was edited after it was originally posted. The "Hey everyone" part was added after the review was posted.

Yes, the point is still driven that they aren't in the movie, according to this guy.

So is Bay and Paramount.

My point is that when this review came out this guy stated the Twins were in the film. Skids and Mudflap are the ONLY twins. He is full of BS when he says he was talking about Wheelie and Brains or who-ever. The author of the review edited his posted when The Bay/Nelson crew came crashing down on him.

Where is he talking about "Twins" besides in the disclaimer? He says "Street-Smart Little Robots," which could be an anonymous amount.

This is one of those times where I think it really isn't worth arguing over whether they're in the movie or not. Someone says one thing, than someone else says another, then something else suggests otherwise...

we'll just have to wait and see.

Bingo! That's my point. He edited his post from what it originally stated which was The Twins. I don't know if they are in the movie or not. Frankly, I don't care anymore. But, I wouldn't use this quote to defend or object to anyone's opinions since it has been edited from what it originally said.

by **Bleak5170** » Tue Jun 21, 2011 1:29 pm

He said there was no need for the twins because of the presence of other bots, (namely Wheelie and Brains). The way I read it he was referring to the latter when he said "they're back...but toned down". At no point did I ever think he meant the twins were in DOTM. I guess it all depends on how you interpret it.
