See, those are just laughable... if they'd just gone for a transforming TIE fighter or whatever it wouldn't be so bad, but who thought it'd be a good idea for them to turn into SW characters?

Still, it's not Lucas' most desperate grab for cash [that'd be the prequels]...

Didn't they already try that with the animorphs?

And didn't it not work then, either?

They don't turn into the SW characters. Those are just meant to be mechas.

Which just happen to have the heads, or approximations thereof, of SW characters? I can buy that. Well, no, actually I won't...

Seriously, it's a little bonkers for Vader to fly a giant himself...

Look fun otherwise, though. The vehicle modes look to do a good job of hiding the humanoid bits.

Yeah, just how I imagined them to look, laughable. It would of been cooler if they just had robots, not characters that turned into the vehicles.

One good thing is that the vehicle modes are really good like Greivous for example. Another plus would be the mini figure for them.

I'm not commenting on the robot modes they're too bad to write about. Cept for Greivous.

Yeah, Grievous seems to be a favorite. Granted, his robot mode tends to work quite well. That will probably be the only one I get.

I might get the Jedi Starfighter and swap heads and arms (if possible). I'll have to see it up close first.

Yes, Dark Helmet it is.

BTW When is someone going to make a transforming toy out of Spaceballs-?
I've always a spaceship that transforms into giant maid that goes
suck to blow.

It's all Balls to me, don't know who their aiming them at, but some peeps will by rubbish, and always complain that they don't own Shockwave or Jetfire etc. Why buy this awful rubbish like this and minicons and loads of other lame figures when u can save ur money and get something decent.

I forgot to say this: one thing that annoyed me about Vader was the fact that in this version he has two sabers. It could have been done better with one saber and one that just doesn't come out, or only to a certain point. But save money Hasbro, save money. Cheap bast...s

Well in my case since I collect the Star Wars part it works because I get a nice decent ship mode that can hang on the ceiling with the rest of 'em.

Yeah, but a toy is cheaper in the long run.

Actually, I like the two lightsabers. I'd have him use both.

I have only three words: WHAT THE HELL?

Golden Age PAX · Post by **Golden Age PAX** » Fri Oct 14, 2005 7:49 pm

MAN! Those are just itching to be blown up by firecrackers. Does'nt the Star Wars franchise make enogh money, that it doesnt need to try and cut into the Transformers market? Did anyone else see the Star Wars Mr. Potato Heads? What the heck is Lucas doing, cashing in? Maybe he knows Star Wars is dead, cause he killed it.
