I will be getting this when I see it. I absolutely love HA Skids. I really think they did a great job on that sucker. I actually think he is more enjoyable to goof around with than HA Sideswipe and BB. The others look awesome, but damn these HA Twins figures are good. :grin:

Also, whoever did the repaint on this.....wow, they did a great job! :APPLAUSE:

Same here. I have Skids in RPM, Robot Hero (alt modes), Deluxe, and Human Alliance, along with Mudflap in all except HA. Gotta get 'em all!

We get new images of Revenge of the Fallen Human Alliance Mudflap, a figure that we saw stock photos of before. Albeit the figure is Archimedes Chen's custom from Toysdaily, the images still shows off the figure's stature, size and aesthetics. We also get a look at Mudflap and Chromia's transformation process via a scan of the instruction sheets. Check out everything below.

The original source for the Mudflap pictures can be found here, while the link to the instructions of other newly released Transformers can be found here.

That's a VERY nice paint job :APPLAUSE:

Same basic body structure as Skids' for the most part (would it have killed you to remold the gatling gun into something else, Hasbro?). I'll bet his head gimmick's the same as Skids' as well, but who's complaining?

(;_;) Sad all the Nice detail is from the custom painter.
I like all the added detail lines, painted fingers and the metallic color on the chest.
TBH this is what the real toy should look like. Comparing pics of the two toys.. Saddening. :sad:

Don't be too excited since it is a Custom figure. The one for sale will not be that bitchin'. That person did a great job. I am totally getting Mudflap though. He is high on the list. I have been really impressed with Skids, so why not.

Still wish Skids and Mudflap were never made up. They look so dumb. I hate their faces. Let's hope they're not in TF3 and if they are I hope they are killed off right away. :lol:

Haha for a moment I thought the real one is this awesome...

by **autobot-jolt** » Sat Jan 30, 2010 12:18 pm

he's not half bad. But I'll pass, because I don't want to spend $60 for both of the twins (I don't have skids), but I might pick up the ice cream version that comes w/t shanghai demolisher instead. I really like the ice cream twins, they're fun to mess around with. My friend has let me see his, and I want the twins with their decals, so I guess I'm all set. Back on topic, HA Mudflap looks overall great.

by **Deadpool's Lame Joke** » Sat Jan 30, 2010 3:14 pm

Wow, this is gonna be a nice figure! I am very excited for this one!

And does anyone ever think of how in the movie, Skids had the grappling hook to grab Mudflap who was shooting up Devi? Just a thought of how Hasbro effed up, just like with red Chromia and blue arcee...

I actually like HA Skids quite a bit too, but I was under the impression Mudflap would be an original mold. Little bit of a retool, but it's largely the same mold. Since I don't particualarly like the look of these characters, can't say I'm all that excited...especially at $30 a pop.

I was under that impression too. I really like the mold though, so I will dish out the $30. I think it is overpriced, but oh well. If it were a completely different mold, then it would be a no-brainer.

Nice pictures and paint job man! I'm pretty impressed with all the Human Alliance figures so far and I'll be glad to add this guy to my collection. He looks very fun to me.

I'm glad that Mudflap looks so good, because I'm seriously unimpressed and even feel a bit let down that he's nothing more than a slightly reversed transformation of Skids.

I'm really not happy about that. Fortunately, Human Alliance provides us with more complex transformations, without going overboard in either direction.

I just thought their transformations would be a bit more..individual. It reeks of the Energon Combiners.
