Mudflap (Transformers)

Mudflap is a name applied to three Transformers characters: two different Decepticons that use the same mold and an Autobot from the Transformers film series.

Transformers: Cybertron

Animated series

Mudflap (Demolishor in Japan) is depicted as an old friend of Landmine's who was among the Cybertronians who relocated to Earth after their home planet came under threat from the Unicron singularity. Chafing at the role of "robot in disguise," the disgruntled Mudflap was eventually recruited to join the Decepticons, specifically under the leadership of Starscream.
