Technically, yes, but how many do you think would sell if the Death Star transformed into a crusty old white guy versus transforming into Vader?

The obvious choice for selling it AND pleaseing fans would have been the Emperor. Hasbro didnt think of that one.

Dude, are all of your comments negative?

Vadar has been digging into the Beer and chips a bit hasnt he... Got a nice Beer gut going on there.

Im sure he is of comparable size to Primus and Unicron, but he just doesn't look it in that packaging.

looks worse then a dead cow!, sorroy I just think the death star sould be a million light years away from star wars!

although i don't think its looks to bad, ever since the mixed the lines(transformers/star wars) i just can't get into it. maybe just cause i'm old school i do know. to each his own though!!

I don't understand what you don't like about it compared to say, Primus. Both have similarly good alternate mode, both are well articulated in robot mode and have similar kibble, yet, Primus has basic electrocs but the cool key-activated transformation while Vader has better electronics and even more playability with all the little compartments and stuff. Is it only the head that bothers you? Is that enough to call a toy crap? I don't think so.

Im not a fan of the charecter choice for a start, and I just feel that (from the picks I've seen) it looks like it has all the hallmark design features that have mared the rest of the line.

Wow nice light-saber!!

I think his alt mode is awesome - lots of playability, with a FIRING CANNON!!! And TIE fighters and all - awesome!!

I think the Starwars TFs suck but this I like, a sphereical(sp?) alt mode and a nice big detailed robot - cool.

I shall buy one in the Chrismas sales and sit him next to Primus... what a nice pair of balls they'll make :-?

Everytime I see it it will allways remind me of Prowler974's art work from a few years ago

The Hans Solo/Chewbacca set pretty much tops all Cybertron toys except Primus in my book.

I dig it. I only have the Han/Chewie MF, and I like that. As robots, their kinda clunky and hard to pose, but I like it none-the-less. I'm not a huge fan of the line, but I am going to snatch up a Mace Windu as soon as it hits clearance. I mean, come on, it's Samuel L Jackson for Christ's sake!
