He lied. This isn't a huge surprise, or at least it shouldn't be, since Michael Bay also swore Megatron wouldn't be in Revenge of the Fallen (and he was) and because Michael Bay is an enormous douchebag who enjoys lying to audience seemingly for kicks. However, it's worth noting that Michael Bay left a message on his personal website yesterday morning, stating definitively that the Twins would not return in TF3... mere hours before two Chevy Sparks, identical except that one was green and one was orange, in the same shades as the Racist Twins as shown in TF2, were seen being filmed on the TF3 set.
I'm actually kind of impressed. It takes a special amount of douchery to be able to lie to your potential fans so obviously, for no reason, and not give any shit whether you're caught or not. Truly, Michael Bay is a very, very special asshole. Thanks to Enigma2K99 for the tip. (News via TFW2005, art via Seibertron)
PS: Please note that Skids has an Autobot insignia on one of his buckteeth, because Michael Bay hates you. That is all.
UPDATE: So apparently the article I linked to is a year old. Like, it was posted on May 11th, 2010. I clearly saw the first part of the date, and missed the year. My apologies. So Bay could very well be telling the truth, and while he clearly shot footage of the twins in 2010, maybe he's since decided to cut them out of the film. However, he still needlessly lied about Megatron not being in TF2, and I wouldn't put it past him to be lying about this. I guess we'll see.

Great post i like to see it because it's a relevant of my business... i loved to see it.. it has great info about the stones types and lots more......stone veneermanufactured stonemasonry productsBrick stone
get over yourselves this isnt racist..bunch of idiot liberal race baiters who for some reason or another feel the need to be racist by calling this racist why do u auto assume they are black becaus ethey talk that way..look at urselves b4 u point fingers
u people need to get a fuckin life, i'd fuck with yall and lie to you all too, find you some damn business and you wouldnt give a shit about such pettyness
all of the people below me are nerdy fag. fuck g1 what ever the fuck that wasn n the twins are in the movie for a millasecond.
I think its hilarious that anyone cares. Why do you want to know details of a movie before you see it? Love that people filled in the gaps of what "race" these robots were on their own. Who's racist?
hey thats right! Jazz sounded black but not gansta black (micheal bay word) so had to kill jazz and bring in the two most offense robots on tv today! Jus lik jar jar binks!
They weren't even in the movie. Their car modes were in for mere seconds, but other than that they were never seen. Big whoop, he lied about Megatron, maybe Megatron wasn't gonna be in the movie, maybe he was gonna be Galvatron, is it really that big of a deal? What would Transformers be without a badass villain like Megatron? He's just as important as Optimus.
The real douchbag is the guy who wrote this article. Since when does Michael Bay owe you anything, Rob Bricken?
I'm surprised more Yahoo'ers haven't commented on the story lol.They usually love pointing out others inadequacies.
Err, it seems like Bay is truly trying to prove to us that the twins aren't in TF3.http://www.shootfortheedit.com...
He promises 25,000 for anyone who can prove they are in the film when it opens July 1st.
angry nerd rage lol.
I love how its offensive to make black stereotypes, but hillbilly/hick stereotypes are A okay!
So many bad movies released over the years... and yet when THIS ONE comes under well deserved scrutiny, you grab your pitchforks and torches. It just proves that many of you will watch anything. And the fact that you're not defending all the OTHER bad movies out there makes you all just a little hypocritical...
I always thought TR wouldn't get on Yahoo unless it was a story about FFF inspired mass suicides.
It's funny how people get upset about how they made "fake ghetto wannabe gangster white boy" transformers and call them racist. Racist against stupid white folk and people getting upset, hilarious.
Well, Rob, it looks like even the regular news has called you a liar yourself:
http://blog.movies.yahoo.com/b...
There. See what blind, irrational nerdrage will get you? (Particularly that for Michael Bay) You'd better quit it for your own good; I see you getting an anyeurism over this in the near future at the very least. And some things just aren't worth it.
And yet he's still going strong, and TR garnered even more fame after those FAQs he wrote. Say, how does that egg on your face taste like?
I still don't think they're racist... I however DO still think THEY'RE FUCKING STUPID LOOKING UNFUNNY STEREOTYPES.
In the comment section, someone suggested that these were just high res pics for upcoming toy packages. Whether this is true or not, we'll all know when the movie comes out.
... and yes, it was ME.[/Captain Obvious]
Incidentally, my brother came up with better names for them... Turdz 'n Squirtz...
i wonder all you are perfect? fan? or critics? if they a good movie you cry if the dont you cry if the ask you how to make a movie you cry in the all you good for nothing fans of what? make senses no? i guest no matter how some people try to bring dead to live of all those forgoten show or movies now nothing is good enough now you need aproval of million? to hell all you people if you thing you are good enough to make this movies with a $100 dls buget due see how easy there is to due the only thing you do is pay a movie ticket and cry all year around how about every body stop making movies and tv shows now you really going to star to cry becouse now you got the time to find something to do
This article hasn't been corrected yet? Seriously?
In case you've somehow missed every other post on this, the article about the twins on set was A YEAR AGO. The twins have supposedly been DROPPED ENTIRELY, and the prequel comic shows them DYING. They are NOT IN THE MOVIE.
And if you do know about this and are just ignoring it to get people up in arms, way to play Fox News, Rob.
I hate the twins too, but facts are facts.
Don't post open spoilers. It's incredibly rude.
...but yes, if you're reading this far, this is known by spoiler-whores like me. I suspect Bay was just trying to cover up that instead of dropping them, he's murdering them.
This thread.... holy fuck. HOLY... FUCK. Its like listening to a bunch of Fox News Experts mashed with the View. This thread proves that most of you have no clue what you are talking about AND you just come here to write snide remarks, hoping you'll get quoted or offered a job similar to what Rob "I hate fighting games because they are button mashers but I love Soul Calibur" Bricken. You guys aren't nerds, you are douchebags.
Careful, The Topless Roboteers don't like being called out as the Smithers to Bricken's "Mr. Burns"

They can be in the movie and not be intrusive or have any lines. Remember Jolt? Of course you don't. Because he didn't have any lines and how only notable moment was using his lightning whips to help resurrect Prime.
Bay could well be lying, but if he is, his lie was sussed months ago. Both toys and spy pics have confirmed that the Twins will be seen in some fashion for some time now.
It´s official, im not paying to watch this crap. ill borrow the dvd from a friend someday, or download it trom torrents. Bay´s crap doesnt deserve my money
*SPOILERS* according to the comic book movie adaptation of "Dark of the moon" the twins each take a big ol' fatal laser blast to the face. So
I resent that! For all his hackery, Liefeld occasionaly comes across as a decent human being! Bay does not.
That son of a--- *censored for extremely long and violent cussing*
Say it with me kids: *face palm*
The only place these characters belong is in Fan Fiction where Michael Bay showers in their piss while singing "God Bless America!"
Please, don't make me write it.
It's only racist if you are. I know plenty of White, Asian , and Hispanic people that talk and act like these two. And why do you assume they're black, because they say they can't read an ancient language. Sounds like someone is projecting. Look hating Bay because you're panties are in a bunch over a cartoon, that's one thing, but throwing around the word racist is serious. When you use it in a case like this, you take away from how bad a thing it is.
Saying that we only see racist images because we ARE racist is ridiculous. Just because these characters aren't in overt fucking blackface, or whatever other racial caricature makeup you prefer, doesn't make them any less irritating and offensive.
Tommy -- I agree that some people on here might be a bit out of line if they want to say Michael Bay as a person is himself racist. The man's personal opinions on racial matters are not within my ability to discern. What most people here mean by "racist" here is, I think, a kind of shorthand to express how the characters of Skids and Mudflap reiterate a series of jokes, humor, and spectacle that draw from a long tradition of racially insulting humor originating in 19th Century minstrel shows. It's hard to write that out every time, so people reduce it to "racist." But you are right to remind us to be careful about labeling individuals as racist.
There are, in fact, many conventions of American comedy and cartoons that descend from this tradition, and it can often be hard to draw a line between which traditions are offensive and which have become so obscure or so overused as to have lost their racial value.
It seems fairly clear to many people how Skids and Mudflap embody more of the offensive than not, which makes it quite perplexing that Bay somehow missed this. I highly doubt Bay intended to offend audience members with this depiction, but it does raise questions as to his taste and seriousness as a director that he gave these characters the green light.
I don't think Michael Bay knows the "taste" of anything aside from his own vomit, which in his mind probably has the aroma of chocolate strawberries. I think his personality also makes people dislike him, in that he tends to call people out when he's quite blatantly wrong and insult them when it doesn't suit him. He's not as bad as, say, Uwe Boll in that regard, but he's more well funded and therefore more irritating.
I'm pretty sure the majority hate him for taking what could be potentially good franchise property and making some really fucking bad movies. Also the fact that he tends to disrespect the fans of the franchise doesn't really help.
