Sideswipe and Arcee should have taken the place of the twins in ROTF.
 
According to Nelson, Michael Bay's representant from the Shoot For The Edit forum, the Twins won't appear in the movie, with their role as buddy bots being taken over by Wheelie and The Mercedes-Benz E550 rumored to be Wheeljack. As for the two Chevy Sparks spotted on Set and believed to be Skids and Mudflap, Nelson was not clear, but they're either going to be erased from the shots or be the Alt-Modes of two different characters altogether.

Also, they revealed the names of two of four Dreads: Crankcase and Crowbar.

Total misinformation. They're in the movie alright.

Not only their two former forms from ROTF (which are readily seen in the first spot when Optimus is flying in to the battlefield, pause the trailer in 1080 you'll clearly see them.

Not only that but they later have upgraded forms and a black new cover of paint along with racing stripes of their previous respective colors.

Either they cut them at the very last second and didn't end on the cutting room floor or this is further misinformation brought to us by Michael Bay who said he'd be doing this until the movie is released.
 
Yeah Im thinking they were a last minute cut. I might be wrong but I think that robot in the spot when Prime is flying actually is Ratchet. He has a different look in this movie and is green now. Im not sure though.
 
You can see both of them very clearly in the spot in 1080.

They are very noticeably there right in the battlefield as Optimus swoops in.
 
what are you talking about? about the twins?
 
Who else would I be referring too? You did read the past couple of post, right?

The Twins were/are in the film. Bay and Nelson are saying they aren't in the film even though mounting evidence would prove otherwise.

They might have been scrapped from the final cut but I'm not really buying it.

Plus here are the retrofitted Twins with a new paint job and slight model change being filmed right behind Optimus.

I still cant tell but my guess from that screen shot is Bumble Bee and Ratchet. Could be twins with the those new vehicle modes and colors. They were def in the original script according to that guy on Bays site, he also seems dead serious about them not being in the final cut.

Those bots clearly are Bumblebee and Ratchet, the designs on the screencap does not match the design of the twins pic you posted.
Look at the feet and arms

That still wouldn't change the video I posted of the Twins being filmed driving right behind Optimus...

They already said they were in the movie initially and then didn't make the final cut. I'd bet money that's BB and Ratchet.
 
Now looking at them closer I think you're right about the screenshot at least but I'm not buying the Twins no longer being in this. Especially with the amount of scenes they filmed with them. Which apparently to other crew members it was quite a bit.

But its strange that they kept the toys, took them out of the film especially when they got "remodeled". Still not buying it.

I'm thinking Bay and Nelson are talking semantics here and aren't referring to the Twins by their known name because of the retrofit making them "new" characters.

Well if they are in the film, they look better this time around I'd say.
 
Yeah the pic from the trailer is 100 % not the twins, but the fact they were spotted so often on the set is pretty annoying.
Hope Bay clears this up, I remember him even saying they were "practically gone"
Hopefully if they are in this, like it seems they are, it's very brief
 
I like the concept of twins. But it'd take good writing to make Mudflap and Skids work. Ignoring them would be fine by me.
 
Maye the twins getkilled off early on :awesome:

Yea who am I kidding their are in this ***** :csad:

:lmao:

Is it strange that I'm kind of sad that they might not have made the final cut. Although if they went through all the effort to film the new retrofitted model I'd say the chances of them being in this are very high contrary to what M.Bay and Nelson have been saying.
 
Yea ****ing Bayy runnin off his damn mouth giving us the damn lies... who wouldathunkit :csad:
 
Why would he tells us about a misinformation campaign before the movie as its freaking obvious when he is just steering us the wrong way.

He should have revealed that once marketing for DOTM would be wrapping up. Fail.
 
Is Starscream still confirmed to die in this film?

Yup, by a new human character named Hardcore Eddie. :cmad:
 
I'm still lmao over the name "Hardcore Eddie", it's just so damn funny to me :lmao:.
