base.įive years after the Battle of Chicago, Mudflap was not listed as "deceased", by the CIA taskforce, Cemetery Wind. Mudflap and Skids could be spotted in vehicle mode at the end of an Autobot convoy as the team rolled into the hangar of NEST's Washington, D.C. Skids and Mudflap were originally scripted to feature in Dark of the Moon, but their appearances were cut from the finished film, save for this very brief shot. At Megatron's command, Devastator continued onto the Great Pyramid of Giza. Mudflap and Skids were not seen in Egypt after this.
However, once they had landed, Mudflap accidentally shot Skids in the face, knocking them off. Skids threw a cable to Mudflap, who grabbed it and swung off Devastator's head onto his arm. To buy the humans time to escape, Skids clambered up Devastator's right forepaw to assist Mudflap. But he had survived being vacuumed up by Devastator, and to escape he had blasted a hole through its head. As Skids mourned the loss of his twin, Simmons realized that the safest place to be was directly under the giant. Hanging on for dear life inside the monster's mouth, he tried to use his "kung-fu grip", but was sucked further inside, losing his shoulder guards in the process. Unfortunately, they attracted the attention of the Constructicons, who combined into Devastator and attacked by vacuuming up loose objects such as sand, cars, and Mudflap. Mudflap, Skids, Leo and Simmons acted as a decoy to lure the Decepticons away from Sam and Mikaela. Making their way back to the Pyramids where NEST waited with Optimus Prime's body, the group came under attack by Starscream. However, their bickering created a hole in the wall where the Tomb of the Primes lay, and with it, the Matrix.
After damaging the structure and nearly crushing the humans, Bumblebee picked the twins up, bashed them together, and threw them out the door. After calling each other "scared" and "ugly" the two began to fight with one another. Skids pointed out that Sam had killed Megatron, but Mudflap said the point was moot since Megatron was now back. When the Matrix could not be found at the ruins of Petra, Mudflap questioned why they where helping Sam, wondering what they had done for the Autobots. He teleported them all to Egypt before telling them the tale of the original Primes, the Star Harvester, which had the potential to destroy all life on Earth, and finally, the Matrix of Leadership, the key to activating the harvester and possibly the only thing that could bring Optimus Prime back to life. With the help of the Decepticon Wheelie and former Sector Seven agent Seymour Simmons, the group made their way to the Smithsonian, where the humans reactivated the venerable ex-Decepticon Jetfire. The twins claimed that they couldn't read the ancient Language of the Primes and weren't much into reading, anyway. After the twins teased Leo for a while for his panic attack, Sam inquired whether one of them could interpret the Cybertronic symbols with which he had become obsessed. Skids and Mudflap met up with Bumblebee and the humans, and together they fled to a remote location. After Optimus Prime was killed by Megatron, the twins helped the Autobot force fight off the Decepticon leader and Starscream, allowing Sam, Leo Spitz, Mikaela Banes and Bumblebee to make good their escape. Later, the twins, along with the other NEST-allied Autobots, were dispatched to look for Sam Witwicky when Decepticons were detected heading towards his college. Mudflap wanted the Chevy Beat as a vehicle form, but after a brief wrestling match with his brother, he was relegated to the form of the Chevrolet Trax. Upon arrival to Diego Garcia and NEST headquarters, the twins were given new, individual alternate forms to make sure another incident like that never happened.
Mudflap took the blame for the crash, but Skids still berated (and smacked) Mudflap for his failure.
However, the twins inadvertently split apart from one another when they rounded the corner too sharply, thus taking them out of the chase. While Arcee leapt through a building to pursue the Decepticon, the twins tried to go around the building to catch him. However, their slow, ungainly choice of alternate mode left them unable to keep up with Sideways. At NEST's orders, the twins went after the smaller foe and, working with Arcee, managed to herd him into an alleyway. Two Decepticons soon did: Demolishor and Sideways. The twins were first into action for N.E.S.T.s mission to Shanghai, slowly trundling through the city streets in their ice-cream truck mode and taunting Decepticons in the area to show themselves.
