The Energon Pub

i just reviewed the trailer again and there is no sign of them anywhere
so i don't know how you people can claim to see something that isn't there
maybe you want to believe they're there so you think you see them
because bay said if you see them anywhere in the movie you could get
some money

In the trailer =/= In the movie

Perfect example, "You complete me":
YouTube - Iron Man 2 Trailer (OFFICIAL)
VS the final movie cut:
YouTube - Iron Man 2 Movie Clip: Sky Dive


Besides, we can only get the money if we see them in July in theaters.

Yeah, that was really surprising when I saw IM2 and that line wasn't there after it had been in EVERY... DAMN... commercial for the movie.

Well, the only real way to find out for sure if they're in the movie or not is to wait til it opens in cinema and watch it (though others have probably already said the same thing). Personally I hope they are, they made the last movie quite enjoyable for me, even if others didn't find them funny.

That's Ratchet. Lighter shade of green, and you can see the big tire on his back like he had in the previous movies.

You can kinda-sorta see some black cars driving into the military hanger at about 40 seconds into the trailer that may be them, but it's so far away I can't say for sure. Who knows. Doubt i'll miss them anyway.

On a totally different note, after watching the trailer again, I realized that Wheeljack was in it, standing behind Prime at 0:44. Guy blends in well, but it definetely matches the image from that children's book we saw earlier

I agree... with both of you. they both have a spare tire in the back, and with the new paintjob on ratchetmakes him more skids like in the paint area sooooooo...........

Man, I liked the twins! Why'd Bay have to listen to those stupid ass people who classified them as racist? They're not racist. I bet Cybertronians do have separate races, but they're no race we have on earth. This is BS.

If you don't believe Bay, then believe paramount. They released a press release stating the Twins won't be in the movie.

Take a breath and simmer down. Sheesh. Another excuse to launch personal attacks on the man.

I'm glad to see that at least one other person knows how to read between the lines.

The key word folks was PERFORMING. Yeah we know they are in the trailer. Those of you saying that we are just seeing what we want to see, that's bull!!! I ABSOLUTELY DO NOT want to see those 2 a**-clowns in the third movie and even I can't deny that they are indeed recognizable in the hangar scene. However, we have yet to see them in any speaking scenes (thank Primus) and that is what will let Bay off the hook, or at least that is one way to let him off the hook. There is still a month and a half remaining and tons of movies have had scenes show up in trailers that were either altered or deleted entirely from the final cut.
Bay isn't going to pony up any cash because he's already got his assured win and I personally could care less who said what. So long as I don't have to hear Tweedle-Dumb and Tweedle-Dumber utter a freaking word in TF3, I'll be perfectly content.

Haha.

I find it odd every statement reads "the Twins" aren't in it. May be nothing but has anyone stated that Skids and Mudflap will not be in the film? (Yes I know, they are referred to as twins.)

Honestly, I've given up caring or trying to keep up with the he saids/she saids. I do not care I'd they are in it or not.

At least they have shockwave,the wreckers(Heck they might even be more popular that skids and mudflap),wheeljack, and mirage

i really hope they're in the film, they had a pretty epic death in the book and stuff. bay said they wouldnt be in in transformers 3 on july 1 opening day, but its been referred to as dark of the moon, and is opening on june 29, so maybe they really will be in it

we will know in three weeks anyway

This could be just speculation but from my understanding they was filmed and was slated to be in the film but was cut during editing to keep up with the story. Uknown if they will even be mentioned.

actually thats ratchet, he got a new paint-job (which is still a ridiculous color), skids is rounder and has more black on him now

i spotted it
ut bay said they wont be in "transformers 3"

so merry christmas

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.

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.

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 tyrese saying they wouldnt be in it

shamone wrote:and tyrese saying they wouldnt be in it

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. 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)

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.
