Skids (ROTF)

The name or term "Skids" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Skids (disambiguation).

Skids is an Autobot from the Revenge of the Fallen franchise in the live-action film continuity family.

Look, it's that robot child actor that grew up and robbed a convenience store.

Skids is kind of a dopey-lookin' guy. He spends his time arguing with his twin, Mudflap and is under the delusion he's the more mature of the two. He transforms into a Chevrolet Beat.

Fiction

IDW Transformers (2007) comics continuity

Skids is the one in front.

Skids used to spar with his fellow Autobot Camshaft. He wasn't very good at it, but he was still better than Payload- or Dreadwing-type drones. The Reign of Starscream issue 3 Sometime later, Skids and Mudflap arrived on Earth as part of Autobot reinforcements that Optimus Prime requested. They both choose the form of an old, beat-up ice cream truck. The newly-arrived Autobots joined the human-Transformer military alliance N.E.S.T. and began training in earnest on Diego Garcia, but soon had to be deployed to Shanghai, China. Alliance issue 4

Trivia

• Skids and Mudflap share the same head, but it's not readily apparent since the basic head design has been flipped vertically from one twin to the other. Skids' "hair" is part of Mudflap's neck and Mudflap's forehead is part of Skids' teeth, for instance. Minor details have also been added to each to further differentiate them.
• The Chevrolet Beat, Skids' alternate mode, goes into production in 2011 as the Chevrolet Spark.
