When a [[spark]] splits into two separate sparks, the resulting two Cybertronians are considered [[twin]]s, with an incredibly close bond. One such division yielded [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]] and [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]], a pair of doofy-looking, hyperactive chatterboxes who refer to themselves simply as '''the Twins'''.

The inseparable pair spends more time fighting with each other than paying attention to anything going on around them. They like to think they're hard core, but when their guard drops, it turns out they're basically a couple of robot rednecks. Still, they can hold their own in a fight, and they are eager to show [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] just how skilled they are. Whether this will end up getting them killed is another question, though they have had some extremely close calls before.

The Twins received Optimus Prime's transmission for Autobots to come Earth and help defend their new home from [[Decepticon]] reprisals. They met up with [[Arcee (Movie)|Arcee]] and [[Sideswipe (ROTF)|Sideswipe]] and landed near [[Mission City]], making their way to a junkyard with a homing beacon Prime's Autobots had left after the destruction of [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] and the [[AllSpark (Movie)|AllSpark]]. After a short period of training on [[Diego Garcia]], it was announced that the Twins would be joining the other new arrivals in helping to counter the Decepticon incursion in [[Shanghai]] {{storylink|Alliance issue 4}}

===''Revenge of the Fallen'' film===
After [[NEST]] was deployed to Shanghai, the Twins were the first to be deployed, patrolling the streets and taunting any hiding Decepticons to come out and "suck their popsicle". When [[Sideways (ROTF)|Sideways]] tried to make a break for it, the Twins cut him off, forcing him to turn a corner toward a dead end...and jump through an apartment building. While Arcee's components jumped through the hole he had made, the Twins decided to go around the building. However, the turn was too fast, and Mudflap lost control. Although he took full blame for screwing that up, Skids still punched him out. It's combat, what's wrong with him?!

After returning to Diego Garcia, it was decided the Twins would take separate alternate modes, and a green Beat and red Trax were provided. Both Twins were impressed, and Mudflap announced he would be taking the green. Skids disagreed, and a minor scuffle followed, as Skids called the green.

When multiple Decepticon contacts were detected on the East Coast of the [[United States]], the Autobots immediately went to counter them without NEST. Optimus Prime and [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] went to rescue [[Sam Witwicky]], [[Mikaela Banes]], and [[Leo Spitz]] from Megatron, [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]], and [[Grindor (ROTF)|Grindor]]. While Optimus took Sam to the nearby Pine Barrens, Bumblebee rejoined the rest of the Autobots and headed to reinforce Optimus. Unfortunately, by the time they got there, Megatron had already killed Prime, and the Twins served as escort when Bumblebee took the three teens to hide in an abandoned prison.

As Leo Spitz started to have a freak out over what was happening, Skids wondered what they would do with the "shrimp taco". Mudflap suggested they simply pop a cap in him, toss him in the trunk, and forget about him. Skids, however, didn't want Leo in ''his'' trunk. Leo told the two "bumper cars" that there would be no killing. An unimpressed Skids told him to get a haircut and whine to his boyfriend. That evening, Sam asked the Twins if they could read the symbols he was seeing. They identified them as [[Cyberglyphics|old school Cybertronian]]. Unfortunately, the Twins couldn't read the symbols, and weren't that much into reading anyway. When Leo came back, the Twins still poked fun at him, with Mudflap saying his panic attack was because he was a pussy. Leo however, knew of someone who might be able to help them, and the Twins accompanied Bumblebee and the group to [[New York City]], where the source turned out to be [[Seymour Simmons]], former agent of [[Sector Seven]], who in turn led them to [[Jetfire (ROTF)|Jetfire]] at the [[Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum]]. Jetfire in turn teleported the group to [[Egypt]] (an experience the Twins had no desire to repeat anytime soon), and told them of [[The Fallen]], the [[solar harvester]] he sought, and how the [[Dynasty of Primes]] hid the [[Matrix of Leadership]] needed to activate somewhere on Earth.

As Sam continued on his quest to find the Matrix, in the hopes that it could somehow revive Optimus, the Twins continued their supporting roles. As they tried to evade some police, the Twins transformed to robot mode and hid in between some buildings. Skids described it as "blending in with the landscape, like a ninja", and Mudflap told him to shut up. As they made their way to [[Giza]], Skids continued his attempts to blend in, only to run right into Bumblebee.

Sam worked out the next clue, and the group made their way to [[Petra]]. The ruins there appeared to be a dead end, and as Sam insisted that it wasn't over yet, Mudflap openly questioned why they were still following him, as he had done nothing for them. When Skids reminded his brother that Sam had killed Megatron, Mudflap countered that he hadn't gotten the job done. As the argument grew heated, Mudflap called Skids ugly, and a brawl followed, with the Twins damaging the ruins and nearly crushing the humans in the cramped quarters. At this point, Bumblebee decided to intervene and stop the brawl...by picking the Twins up, bashing them together, and throwing them out of the ruins. However, their fight had unintended consequences, as the damage revealed the [[Tomb of the Primes]].

"Yeah! We mess with each other instead!"]]
As the group made their way to where NEST had landed with Optimus Prime's body, Starscream began strafing their position, forcing the Twins to take Simmons and Leo away as distractions. Heading toward a quarry near the [[Great Pyramid of Giza]], the Twins witnessed Megatron order the Decepticons to begin their assault, as the [[Constructicon (ROTF)|Constructicon]]s arrived in the quarry to form [[Devastator (ROTF)|Devastator]]. The Twins were initially unimpressed with the giant, until he started using his [[Vortex Grinder]] to begin pulling everything inside his mouth. And the Twins grabbed on for dear life, Mudflap lost his grip and was swallowed by Devastator. As Skids mourned his brother's presumed death, Simmons said that the only safe place was under Devastator. As the trio made their way under, Mudflap fought his way out of Devastator's face and began firing on the [[combiner]]. Skids climbed up Devastator's [[Hightower (ROTF)|left paw]] and fired a grapple for Mudflap to grab onto. Just as the Twins grabbed hold of each other, Mudflap accidentally fired his cannon right into Skids' face, knocking the two off. Fortunately, they managed to land under Devastator with the two humans and are not seen for the rest of the film.. {{storylink|Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen}}

Waffle iron

The '''waffle iron''' is a robot whose alternate mode is a waffle iron. He'd sooner burn your hair off your scalp than toast your waffles.

==Fiction==
===''Revenge of the Fallen''===
A waffle iron was brought to life when [[Sam Witwicky]] dropped a piece of the [[AllSpark (Movie)|All Spark]]. Along with his fellow [[Appliancebot]]s, he tried to attack the Witwickys, but was presumably blasted by [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] for his troubles.
{{storylink|Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen}}
{{storylink|When Robots Attack!}}

His attack managed to singe off some of [[Judy Witwicky]]'s hair. Although this is not seen, she mentions a bald spot to [[Mikaela]].

==Notes==
[[Image:WaffleIronBayhem.jpg|thumb|CLEAR!]]
*Judy is seen stumbling out of the Witwicky household with a waffle iron to her head during the attack of the Appliancebots in ''Revenge of the Fallen''. However, it does not transform in the film, and merely lies on the ground after she throws it off.
*An animatic for the above scene, shown in the ''Deconstructing Visual Bayhem'' section of the ROTF DVD/Blu Ray release, depicts the waffle iron assaulting Judy in its robot mode. Why this was changed for the final film is unknown.
