This is mess and another reason why I wouldn't pay money for this crap. These autobots ain't cute and whoever thought this was a great idea to make them, should be slapped across the face.
Twin robots named Skids and Mudflap, "disguised as compact Chevys, constantly brawl and bicker in rap-inspired street slang. They're forced to acknowledge that they can't read. One has a gold tooth." (watch the trailer for Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen)
It's hard to view Mudflap and Skids as anything but racist, said Ty Burr in The Boston Globe. They are "shuck-and-jive Autobots who talk in ridiculous gangsta-speak." And they're also "Jar Jar Binks times two and the first known example of robot blackface," not to mention "insultingly unfunny comic relief."
Skids and Mudflap do "indicate that minstrelsy remains as much in fashion in Hollywood as when, well, Jar Jar Binks was set loose by George Lucas," said Manohla Dargis in The New York Times. But "for what it's worth," the script for Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, "also includes a crack" about the character Simmons, "who's coded as Jewish, and his 'pubic-fro head.'"
Foolishness, I tell you. What's next a group of stereotypical Mexican autobots talking like Slow Poke Rodriguez and Speedy Gonzales?

Big, dumb, loud movies always have these idiotic stereotypes... Whether they be brown, black, yellow or rainbow.
You have to go to retarded extremes to get to the people who would actually consider this a "good" movie.
By the way, the stereotypical Mexican Autobot... Think he'd be a lowrider?
Hey Umm Are You Retarded If You Watch CAREFULLY Sam Or (shia) writes The ancient text on the wall and asks if the twins can read it. They Reply With A No Meaning No They Cannot Read Ancient text NOT Read At all And Even If You Didn't Notice That Wouldn't You Think Bumblebee Could ? No Because You'd Rather Have A Cry About A Movie Because You DO NOT Pay Attention.
All I have to say about Transformers 2 is...
Who greenlit this incredible piece of shit?
The two COONbots literally had me cringing in my seat. It was repulsive.
I hate the fact that I wasted two and a half hours of my life (that could have been spent picking belly button lint)and four bucks to see that MESS!
UGH! It was so stupid it made me angry!
