We're not even sure if they will be in the movie, but it appears both Skids and Mudflap will be getting figures in the DOTM toy line. Thanks to an
eBay auction we get our first look at Deluxe MechTech Mudflap. The figure is shown in his Chevy Spark alt mode now sporting Mudflap's familiar orange deco. Unfortunately the figure is not show in robot mode. The images have been mirrored below.

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.

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 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.

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.

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

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.

I can't wait for the repaints:
"Didn't-Make-The-Cut Mudflap"
"Bay-Hates-Subcompacts Mudflap"
And my greatest hope:
"I'm-No-Racist Mudflap"

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.

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.

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.

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.

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