I'm really not certain on this either. I mean, Autobot Brothers at least has three members.--RosicrucianTalk 16:13, 11 August 2009 (EDT)
- The Horrorcons are a duo too though. --Ascendron 16:27, 11 August 2009 (EDT)
- I'm not questioning if the page should exist -- I'm quite certain it should, as it's the logical place to aggregate a lot of information that applies to both characters. I'm just not sure how to handle the fiction section in a way that avoids having a lot of copy-paste and repeated info. I'm thinking a very short intro paragraph -- "they were here, they came to Earth, they hooked up with Prime, they fought Devastator" -- with a "for more info, see "skids" and "mudflap". -- Repowers 16:33, 11 August 2009 (EDT)
- A tiny summary would work since for the most part they're together throughout the film. When we eventually get some sequel comics and such maybe only focus on what they do together if they ever get split apart. What should definitely be omitted is toys. These ROTF each have umpteen-million toys and combining two characters' toys into a single page is just lunacy. --Bluestreak7 23:35, 11 August 2009 (EDT)

Wait, rednecks? Aren't they supposed to be wannabe gangsters, who should be offensive to black people and all that controversy? --Detour 23:41, 11 August 2009 (EDT)
- Yes. They are rednecks who think they're gangsters. (witness Skids in an unguarded moment when Mudflap has been sucked into Devastator's maw: "Aw, man, he done got all et up." That's a backwoods drawl if I ever heard it.) -- Repowers 01:19, 12 August 2009 (EDT)
- I was under the impression they weren't rednecks per-se... more the "backyard wrestling videos on Youtube" demographic. -Derik 19:18, 7 December 2009 (EST)
- By that reasoning, they could be ugly gangsta stereotypes pretending for that one line to be rednecks. "See, a white guy would react to Devastator like this...."--Thylacine 2000 17:11, 11 January 2010 (EST)
- Yeah, gangstas pretend to be rednecks all the time. --ItsWalky 17:28, 11 January 2010 (EST)

Should we move this to "Autobot Twins?" That was how they were referred to in the movie. Crow T. Robot 18:13, 29 November 2009 (EST)
- The only line I remember referring to them collectively is when Mudflap says, "Nobody messes with the twins!" while battling Devastator. Of course, I could be forgetting something. -- Ziyad 11:08, 6 December 2009 (EST)
- Lennox refers to them as "Twins," no "the," in the Shanghai scene. But then, he's being purposefully abbreviated, as in "Twins, Arcee, go blah blah blah." --ItsWalky 11:10, 6 December 2009 (EST)
- During the upgrade scene, the loudspeaker refers to them as Autobot twins. Crow T. Robot 17:29, 7 December 2009 (EST)
Toys
[edit]Should toys that include both of the Twins (eg. the ice cream truck, and derivatives) be listed here? Tom Servo the Great 14:21, 15 September 2011 (EDT)
- That's a really good point. I'd say yes, but would not include toys of the individuals. --Khajidha 15:10, 15 September 2011 (EDT)
