TF08.net has posted a new image of the cardback for the upcoming deluxe class Skids figure from Transformers Revenge of the Fallen. This new image gives a clear picture of the cardback and bio possibly giving a more detailed look into this character in the upcoming film.

Oh god, the twins are actually growing on me.

Skids politely requests that the designers stop smacking his face with The Ugly Stick.
Whup,…too late.

That is true. Some people like to think that they know what is good or bad like it is something the whole world should see. What is good, or what is bad, especially in relation to this franchise, is dependent on your personal interpretation.
muffinhunter
Actually, what you "know" is what your design preferences are, nothing more. People often conflate their own personal likes and dislikes with "good" and "bad", but it's something we should all really watch out for.

Yeah I noticed that too. The fanbase will find something small then nitpick it to death and blame Bay for destroying everything they live for it seems. THEN they will say things like the movie will be unsuccessful because they aren't listening to their fans and end up wrong in the end when the movie is a huge blockbuster hit because ULTIMATELY … the rest of the world outside the relatively small world of transfans doesn't care or doesn't let small things like this ruin their lives.
Here is my prediction. The twins will end up being disliked by transfans. BUT, the MUCH bigger population of movie goers will fall in love with them and their antics, ultimately making them characters of note in the second movie.

AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! zombie thread!!

I'm not complaining, I think I'll like the twins, it's just I feel sometimes by putting fun characters like this in the film, Bay creates more issues with the fanbase. People are already so snarky, so critical of something so small and forgettable like the masturbation joke, they forget the brilliance of Bumblebee's capture or Optimus' second narration.

I think they are just gonna be the comic relief of the movie. They might be the goofy rookie "kids" that just need discipline and are constantly arguing. I don't like the gold bucktooth, but it probably fits what he is.

finally god has answered my prayers. a hillbilly bot or "bumbot"hehe

Skids' bio doesn't make me worry about his portrayal on the movie … but Mudfalp's. I'll wait and see though.
The toy itself, looks good enough. I don't particularly (sp?) like the head, but I managed to survive the Beast Wars, so I don't mind ugly heads on my TFs that much.
I'm thinking one of the twins will die.
You say that like it's a bad thing, but IMO Frenzy was the best Decepticon in the first movie.
Your post made me think what it would've been like if The Empire Strikes back was in production now – in the Internet age.
Rumor 1: I heard Luke will find a new teacher. An old warrior called Yoda.
Post1.1: WOW. Sounds great!
Post1.2: Here's fan art of what I think a badass like Yoda would look like.
Rumor 2: It seems Yoda is Obi-Wan's former master.
Post2.1: WOW. Sounds great!
Post2.2: Here's fan art of what I think a badass like Yoda would look like. I changed it a bit, to make him more similar to Obi-Wan.
Rumor 3: character art leaked! Here's what Yoda will look like.
Post3.1: WTF! That's no Jedi! That's an elf!
Post3.2: Elf? It's a dwarf! I don't want Gremlims in my Star Wars.
Post3.3: He'll sure act ******ed!
Imagine the threads if Mudflap and Skids were Sunstreaker and Sideswipe. Yikes.
Why? Are TPTB only allowed to repeat everything that's been done before?
I guess you have been visiting Bizarro TFW2005, because I haven't seen that endless movie worshipping you describe. In fact, just before July 2007, it was the other way around.

Mudflap should be voiced by Jaleel White aka Steve Urkel!!! what do ya say? hahaha!
Janeails22x
I should be good as long as there are no "ker-hyucks" or "git-r-done's" or "Deerrrrr, I is a Auterbotz….." in the film. I really do not want to be forced to scream "STFU!!!!!!!!!!" to the screen in the theater….

JarJar, Laurel & Hardy, 3 Stooges, Dumb and Dumber=Skids and Mudflap
Let me preface what I'm going to say with the following first: I apologize in advance – I have a HORRIBLE feeling about these two characters, and their heads are irrefutably FUGLY!!!! Seems like a Decepticon raped one of the wrinkly green Gremlins, like Stripe, from the Gremlins movie, then threw in some genes from Sloth (Goonies), and this is the ugly offspring – that should have been aborted. Reminds me of when I used to play the dozens in junior high and would say, "You were so ugly when you were born, that the Doctor spanked Yo Mama after spanking you!", ROFLMMFAO!!!!
With that said, as far as the quote above, I think whether or not fewer people would or wouldn't have complained about a gun-toting JarJar Binks would have depended on exactly HOW JarJar would have used it. Personally, if JarJar carried a gun, I would have liked for him to turn the gun on himself and put him and alot of viewers (like myself who HATE JarJar) out of his, and our, misery.

This is a certain buy for me. I hope the punching arm is in the movie!

jazz's autobot symbol is on his crotch!!!

Crazy talk.

That's what I'm thinking. Though they usually have a while lot of copyright info and stuff like that on the bottom. Some of that stuff is on the back of the card, but I remember the first movie Deluxe's having about the same amount of info on the back. Oh well, it's not a big deal in the end. Though it would help figure out who's in what wave, which is the reason I noticed that the Deluxe's don't advertise other figures where they would normally advertise them.
Aigis
They might be on the bottom.
Ravenxl7
Anybody else think it's a little odd that the Deluxe's don't advertise any other Deluxe's on the back like they usually do? Nothing big, just something I find slightly odd.

Even the Fallen toy has the "crotch ID" Maybe they wanted it to look like a belt buckle?
