Transformers DOTM Deluxe Mudflap

i was hoping we'd get a mudflap toy

Its looking nice so far. i hope he is as good as Skids (and actually has knee movement on him too.)

I'm predicting shelfwarmer, just because he's called "Mudflap"

I'm predicting I will not be interested in this, on the basis of he is Mudflap.

I was seriously going to be pissed if they didn't make him. I'm glad we're getting both Twins...even if they aren't in the movie.

This one at least appears to use more attractive colours than the ROTF ones. Maybe the black and orange will attract more kids and collectors than MUD BROWN.

I'm actually interested to see more. I really liked my ROTF Skids but wasn't satisfied with the Mudflap mold. So hopefully, they improved it this time around.

as well as this.

It's bugging me that the mech tech has a yellowish paint on it when the figure has orange stripes. I do hope the bot mode is better on this one then the ROTF Mudflap too.

I only hope that he has a new head mould my ROTF looked like he was high on smack .

I thought they both were?...

Still haven't gotten ROTF Mudflap, can't find him anywhere. We do have that Skids repaint.
Don't mind that their transformation'll be easier, before skids rolls into battle, the battle's over.
Is it official that those 2 won't be in the movie?
I'd love that, because I'm convinced when they do get onscreen they'll snatch all the screentime away from cooler transformers.

Courtesy of Chinese toy site ACToys we have images of Transformers DOTM Mudflap Deluxe Mudflap in robot mode. Director Michael Bay's right hand man Nelson says the twins didn't make the cut for the upcoming film, but it looks like they will be hitting the shelves in the DOTM toyline.

...And he still does.

It actually looks better than the original Mudflap, but if it turns to Shelfwarmer, I'm sure Pikachu will take care of that!

The sad part is that this, like all the other Mudflaps and Skidses, would be a modestly cool figure with a different head.

When I look at a Transformer the first thought to run through my head should not be "Happy Halloween".

This is great news!

I was wondering how the pegs would stay warm once the dollar stores got all the Tuner Skids & Mudflaps.

lol, does that pikachu come with it XD if it does then i would buy it for the pikachu and seel the mudflap. cus that thing is just ugly. i will only buy the twins if they are in the movie and that is a big IF.

Back kibble aside, this is an excellent representation of Mudflap. I'm not much into custom paint jobs, but I'm tempted to get a second one and do a ROTF repaint of him.

PIKACHU!!!

It looks like Pikachu likes him.

Why do they continue to waste good plastic on things like this? I just don't get it(and won't get it).

OK. Very meh on the figure but thoroughly creeped out by Pikachu. WHen 'Flap is facing the camera, Pikachu is staring at his ass. WHen he's turned around, Pikachu has angled just enough to look at his crotch.

Yep, just as I predicted.

BLACK POWER SALUTE!

So clearly asians see him as a black guy too

And his right hand is dinky... oh mudflap... truely the greatest retardicon

Why will they not fold up the back kibble on the Mudflap figures?

I do hope that you are just joking. Honestly, I have a couple cousins that act just like 'Flap and Skids did...it's culture, not race.

Gotcha, mate. No harm no foul then! Sometimes it's hard to convey sarcasm on the internet...

It seems that people really have a phobia of photographing figures with transformed back kibble, doesn't it? Both of the last Mudflaps had it unfolded in most product pictures, I believe I've seen Skids with his unfolded, and Battle Blade Bumblebee always has his hood scoop unfolded and sticking up from behind his head. Wtf?

Is it really so hard to transform a figure that is clearly easy to transform? I mean seriously. Well at least he looks good in Robot mode. Definitely liking the shoulders of Mudflap more than Skids.

I really don't like Mudflap's tiny little arm. Did Megatron find Mudflap injured and gave him a shrunken down version of his arm?

Oh, and on side note:


It's finally Pikachu's turn.

Pikachu: Pika pik, pika pika chu!! (Mudflap, I choose you!!) LOL

POKE'MON GO HARD!!! (destorm pokemon reference)

I am thoroughly impressed with this figure. Nice bulky figure, movie accurate, nice alt mode. Im glad I only picked up Skids in the ROTF line, cause im most likely picking up this Mudflap. I really did the black schemes on him, breaks up the red.

So yea, I might be picking up this guy, but I hate his stupid face.

You may have missed these guys when we ran our previous story about DOTM Deluxe Thundercraker if you didn't actually visit KOToy's facebook gallery, but they also had some nice images of DOTM Deluxes Skids and Mudflap. As you can see in the images mirrored below, while they share the same Chevy Spark alt mode, there are several subtle differences between the pair in robot mode. They also have differing MechTech weapons.

These Jar Jar Binks /Yessum Massa / Stereoptypes are a abomination to the Transformers Universe.

I literally walked out of the movie upon seeing them.

Seriously Michael Bay WTF! And this is acceptable in hollywood?

I might buy Skids just because in vehicle mold it looks like his severed head is sitting on the dashboard.

And in both instances I find myself wanting to shout "Now, Pikachu...THUNDERBOLT!!"

I REALLY don't like how Mudflap's stripes are thicker than Skids'. To be honest, even if they are in the film, I don't see myself buying them, especially after just looking at the awesome Skyhammer.

holy crap. i think these are based on is devastator actually ate BOTH of these idiots and shat them out. first of all the guns are just stupid. they look like they were taken from 80s ji joe figures and put in this toy line. and that goes for the the whole damn line.


And btw, I think they are in the new movie but im not too sure. they were on set.

Color me unimpressed. I DO like the alt-modes better than the ROTF versions. The other thing is, as with most DOTM toys I've seen so far there are HUGE chunks of colored, but unpainted, plastic. It just makes them look cheap. On these characters in particular, both of their feet are large chunks of green or orange plastic with absolutely no paint apps (saving for Skids' toes) and it just looks awful to me. DOTM Sideswipe is another whose alt-mode looks nice, but the robot mode is largely unpainted grey plastic. It looks like a prototype- not a finished, quality toy.

I'm actually liking the whole Mech-tech idea. I might have to go onto ebay in the following months to ensure I get all of the weapons, cause some of the figures I ain't getting, like these two, Bumblebee, and Ironhide.

It's already been stated several times that being on set doesn't guarantee they'll be in the film.

I wonder if any stores will actually order any of these being that every retail store still has at least 20 of the ROTF versions still on the shelves. The Mudflap figure is a cursed one and i would suspect a retailer seeing it on the order form shouts at the devil himself for cursing their shelves with such an abomination.

I'm sure that this figure is now blacklisted by retailers due to it's poor sales and the inability to get rid of it even when they're at a dollar in the clearance bin.

Why this figure is being repainted or retooled for DOTM is beyond my comprehension.

Yo bad buys! Come get yo MechTech a$$ whoopin'!

Okay enough with that. But I really really like these two. They look at least twice as good as the ROTF molds in my opinion. Maybe the bright orange on Mudflap will be more attractive to kids than brown. I really don't think it's just the character that made him a slow seller, but really kids aren't attracted to darker, duller colors.

Aside from that, I like the MechTech weapons. Looks like Mudflap will be doing some dismembering.

need some way better pics. these look like crap.

I didn't think it was possible for the twins to get any uglier. And then they made these.
