Profile:
A close friend of the Autobot Landmine, Mudflap is one of the dozens of Cybertronians who emigrated to Earth when Cybertron was threatened by the grand black hole. Mudflap found that keeping a low profile as a robot in disguise on Earth was incredibly frustrating. Humans, he found, were irrational; Mudflap felt suffocated by things like traffic laws, and being on the receiving end of lectures for his failure to blend in from the likes of Jetfire did little to help. Starscream picked up on Mudflap's anger, and had little trouble in talking Mudflap into signing on with the Decepticons instead, claiming that he'll still be fighting to save Cybertron, he just won't have to worry about keeping up the disguise. Mudflap was happy to accept and lend his strength to smashing up his former allies. Even so, Mudflap still finds himself feeling unhappy. As a former Autobot, Megatron doesn't trust Mudflap - doubly so because Mudflap was recruited by Starscream - and thus he's often left behind when the rest of the Decepticons go on missions. Mudflap often vents his frustrations by sabotaging human construction sites; he wishes he could return to the Autobot side, but fears that his betrayal means he'd never be accepted back and thus he is condemned to continue serving Megatron and the Decepticons. However, Landmine has not given up on his friend, and hopes he can find a way to redeem Mudflap.

This is a cool toy! He's a big chunky robot who turns into an equally big and chunky construction vehicle. It's a pity he was a legendary shelfwarmer in his time, really, because he is a fun toy to mess around with. I guess his design and small role in the show made him a less appealing character to viewers, which was a real pity.
