Step 1, Put your stereotype in the box.
“Oh no he dih’int!“
“He done did!”
“I say, wot, were you expecting some spotted dick joke? I can assure you lads I’m quite above that sort of tomfoolery.”
“You gonna bring up some kinda lame ass argument about race?”
“Well, not entirely exactly, gents. I was just thinking that perhaps you could use a bit of an, upgrade to your dialect routines, eh? You do like upgrades, don’t you?”
“You want an ass whoopin?”
“Nobody messes with the twins!”
“Are you quite done with random movie quotes for now?”
“Kung fu grip?”
“Shut up, dumbass. This other dumbass about to say somethin I know we gonna hate.”
“Oh ho, dear me, and I do mean dear me… That was a joke, wot.”
“....”
“Bangers and mash?”
“That ain’t funny.”
“… You see, I was thinking perhaps a more sophisticated vocalization could do much to improve your character. For instance, a bit of the ol’ Queen’s English and suddenly that over sized eye we share, why, it’s a monocle! Delightfully refined! My bad teeth? A common trait! And these ears? Why, I could pass for Prince Charles himself!”
“You don’t say…”
“Ah, so-”
“No, really, ya don’t say.”
“Well! I’m just saying, it’s a bit antiquarian to to be so…”
“...?”
“Racist.”
“Motherfucker!”
“Did you, did you just pull that jank ass shit on us?”
“Well, you must admit, you are acting rather-”
“Nuh uh! We don’t gotta nothin, gettin up in here with all that bullshit, whack ass, political correct, cracka lacka hizzy hizouse krunk- uh, Skids, I’m runnin outta lingo here, help a bot out?”
“You stupid. Now shut up. We is robots. Living, mysterious spark of life have a soul sentients, but robots. And on top of that, we aliens.
“So?”
“We may be a couple a hyper over eagers who maybe don’t quite get up on all the maturity of the other autobots, but we playin up stereotypes, dumbass.”
“Precisely! It’s demeaning to african American humans!”
“You want an ass whoopin? Don’t you realize that by assuming we’re black, that says alot about you. Do you think all blacks is urban dumbass thugs?”
“Well of course not!”
“And how many white and yellow humans you see playin up the urban dumbass mentality?”
“Well, admittedly quite several.”
“But because we acting urban and stupid, you assume we black?”
“Oh dear, I see. But what about the ears, the teeth, and the inability to read?”
“Man, don’t you pay attention to the movie, motherfucker? Nobody read the language of the primes cept the primes, and maybe the old decepticons.”
“Yeah, and you pointed out the teeth and ears and eye could be a british stereotype as well.”
“Before they heard us talk, people thought we was hillbillies!”
“Where was all the outrage about racism then?”
“They was too busy gettin busy with they sister.”
“Awww, yeah. Word!”
“I say, that’s a right spot of negative stereotyping there too!”
“It’s like a feminazi that goes around accusin everything of bein anti bitches.”
“We love the hos.”
“Yeah we do. But a feminazi sees shit that ain’t there, sayin shit like the washington monument is a declaration of man’s domination of all things blonde and bouncy.”
“Penis envy.”
“I hear that. Naw, really, why you think we got big fists?”
“So, the truth of the matter is that you’re making fun of a stereotype that has grown beyond its racial heritage, and could be making fun of people of any color.”
“So we good?”
“OH YEAH! Who wants watermelon ice cream?!”
“Mmmm. Delicious racism!”
“Sonuva-”
Now that I’ve attempted to offend most of the random readers who came here by searching for SKIDS AND MUDFLAP RACIST lets get on with our usual variety of humor.
Nipple Torture Megatron aside, come back tomorrow for Part 3 of Dehumanizing Alliance Skids, a ROTF Human Alliance Skids Mod Fix Guide.

Awesome. I love it.
YOU REALLY DANCE AROUND ON THE THIN LINE OF PISSING OFF POLITICALLY CORRECT PEOPLE HERE. LOL AT THE FEMINISM COMMENTS, VERY SARCASTIC.
AND HAVING SKIDS AND MUDFLAP LECTURE THE SOPHISTICATED BOT ON RACISM WAS GREAT!
YOU ALMOST STRAY INTO CRAZY BITTER NERD ANGST, BUT THE HUMOR MANAGES TO SAVE IT.
you sound pissed! theres good points on either side of the debate and it will be nice when people stop commenting about it
SPONGESCREAM!
I’m not really pissed, actually. It’s just a rant, and hopefully I didn’t go a bit overboard with it. I just wanted to say something about it.
I know I hate going to tf sites and seeing pissed off, bitter, internet fanboys doing nothing but bitching about the negatives of things. I know that I don’t want to have that here, let alone BE one of those. So I’m careful to to be light hearted and funny in regards to our fandom, but sometimes I gotta vent a bit.
ACTUAL MOD CONTENT TOMORROW!
~Matt Booker
LMAO at the Kool-Aid Man reference!!!!
And I agree with prety much everything in this, so don’t feel bad about upsetting readers. At least me.

… I now can’t stop seeing the face in my ice cream twins’s alt mode. I HAVE to leave the bumper down a bit now.
It’s like something out of CARS.

Great… You had HA Skids say “Ah, so” and now I keep seeing the Asian stereotype in him. He’s like a horribly racist robot Buddha.
Personally… I think it dragged on a little far. You could have cut the toy-talk back a bit and just added it to your rant. After a while the color-blocked text made my eyes want to bleed.
And I don’t see the “culturally refined” HA Skids using the “n-word” (especially not while trying to lecture the Twins on their apparent racism), but maybe that’s just a bad assumption on my part.
luke is right the twins are racist. but they are funny so meh but you have a point and the watermelon thing at the end was lol.
Phantaman… I don’t think Luke meant it that way.
I don’t think it dragged on too long and I understand what you’re saying AND I AGREE COMPLETELY. I also like how you don’t rant very often. This site is fun and I come here because it doesn’t have all the crap internet nerd angst that allspark and tformers has since the movie came out. So lets get back to talking about nipple pulling candy transformers and Dave Willis thongs and delicious watermelon ice cream! =)
So on with the mods, dude!
OH YEAH (lol), that ice cream truck face is creepy!
read carefully bumblegirl im being nice!
Yeah, I said “apparent” racism. In other words, it appeared racist to HA Skids and a certain percentage of ROTF viewers. I’m with Matt on this one: I think they were making fun of anyone who is into that “lifestyle”, regardless of race…. but I don’t think that it’s obvious, and I see where the accusations of racism come from.
I think the reason it isn’t clear is because the film is vague about it. The film is vague about everything (especially having a plot), so that’s nothing new, but expecting viewers to look deeper than the first appearance (to do more than judge a book by it’s cover, as it were) in a movie that otherwise encourages no thought beyond the surface level… that’s where the problem lies. You can’t expect the audience to put thought into one element of the movie if you spend the rest of the movie telling them not to.
So while I think the evidence points against them being racist, I think that fault still lies with the filmmakers for not recognizing that racism was the most obvious assumption. It’s really something that they could have cleared up with just a line or two, and really should have.
Well put Luke!!
Now, about nipple torture dave willis candy thongs. Ya or Na?? ^_^
:<

Cafe Press had those for a while I think. lmao
who gives half a crap about dave willis underware?!
Luke, you have the best point out of all the comments so far. I agree with you.
As for the dragging on thing, I was trying to avoid a long rant and rely on the novelty of Skids and Mudflap lecturing HA Skids on racism.
And while I’m tempted to ask WHY Dave Willis has anything to do with candy encrusted nipple tortured thongs, but instead I’m just going to be glad that I haven’t pissed off a pc poster.
And hey, actual modding steps tomorrow!
~Matt Booker
Also, hi Rahalimus Prime! Feel free to come back and comment more often.
~Matt Booker
Walky would ban hammer fangirls obsessing over candy coated underwear.
you either dont care or lol enough to allow it.
****mild sarcasm****
Nah, Walky’s not much for banning. He puts up with me, and I’m much less charming on his blog than I am here. ;)
He would, however, write a comic about how creepy fangirls who obsess over candy-coated underwear are… especially the ones that obsess about HIS edible thong! :D
I think we’re missing the opportunity here. We need Walky to write a comic about how creepy fangirls obsess over his candy coated underwear on MattBooker.info.
lol
~Matt Booker
I am NOT a fangirl. Creepy and obsessed maybe but not over Dave Willis’s thong. If people ever google Dave Willis Thong this page is probably right up there.

Personally, I got the whole “idiot white guys acting like how they think black people” act vibe from them.
You make many great points, some of which I’ve been saying from the beginning, but, of course, people don’t listen.
Wow. I started writing my comment, then had to go eat, and when I come back, finish and post it, everyone’s talking about fangirls of David Willis in thongs.
I’m going to go try to wash my brain with bleach.
Hey, I think I just figured out why Dr. Arkeville has a metal head!
Ah, gotta love my readers. :D Upwards of 600 unique visitors a day and only a handful of them post.
And they talk about Dave Willis Thongs and Candy Coated Nipple Torture. (Okay, so that’s vaguely my fault…)
~Matt Booker
And here I was thinking that I was the only one who found the twins not-racist. I am so happy to have been proven wrong that I’m going to throw a party and you’re all invited and we’ll all hug and eat cake and make fun of politically correct conventions in the media!
I loved Skids in a top hat and I loved the almost non-sequitur attack at Neo Feminism.
/googles Dave Willis Thong
ROTF Swerve Head Fix was the first hit and the second one was Aqua Teen Hunger Force.
I got RotF Swerve and something about Bon Jovi Facebook.
That came up for me when I put David.
roflcopter! GBG you said your not a fangirl but that doesnt mean your not a fanBOY.
Esoteric, glad to hear it! I was hoping that feminazi comment would be noticed. :D
Now I just need to find a tophat for my HA Skids. I may have to go with a papercraft one until I can find a decent plastic accessory.
“dave\willis thong” ranks us at number two! WTF?
~Matt Booker
I actually found Skids and Mudflap funny in the movie. A bit crude in their language, but funny. It actually made me want to get Skids, Mudflap, and Wheelie.
I really liked when they were making fun of Leo.
~Matt Booker
This post has been bugging me for a while. Too long, hard to read in that many colors, and the flow bugged me.
So I’ve kept the funny and important bits and trimmed the rest. And without the rant, the punchline is timed better.
I’m happy with it now. :)
