Skids and Mudflap (Michael Bay pentalogy)

Skids and Mudflap are characters from the Transformers series. They are a pair of twin Autobots who transformed into an old-fashioned ice cream truck, and later into a green Chevy Beat and an orange Chevy Trax respectively. They both debuted in Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen and were killed off-screen by Sentinel Prime in Transformers 3: Dark of the Moon. Their deaths were shown in one of the latter film's comic book adaptations, namely the one by IDW.

Why They Suck

 * 1) They are extremely annoying.
 * 2) Both of their designs are grotesque; especially for Transformers standards, especially considering Michael Bay went overboard in Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen.
 * 3) They can both be compared to Jar Jar Binks. Both are aliens and are the supposed comic reliefs of their respective films.
 * 4) * One of the only differences is that Skids and Mudflap are robots and Jar Jar Binks is an animal.
 * 5) * The other only difference is that Jar Jar Binks is one being while Skids and Mudflap are a duo, which would mean double the annoyances.
 * 6) Skids and Mudflap barely contribute a thing to the story whatsoever.
 * 7) Both Skids and Mudflap barely help the heroes. In fact, all they do is just get them irritated (As mentioned above); including Bumblebee, who got irritated to the point where he picked up both of the twins and bumped them together.
 * 8) They're so awful that even Michael Bay admits that he hated both Skids and Mudflap.
 * 9) They represent racist stereotypes of African-Americans; from talking in ghetto slang, to admitting to being bad at reading.
