That would actually be a pretty impressive figure if it wasn't for Anakin's head.

we dont need these taking up space on shelves anymore.

If anyone wants a closer look there is a large image here.

It seems these are about as shellformer as you can get. Anakin's shield is basically the star destroyer!

well. hmmm.

maybe someone can make an ok custom out of it?

Still need larger pictures to decide for sure, but it doesn't look too bad considering the limitations put on it...and the harsh reality that kids seem to be hooked on all things Anakin Skywalker right now. I get the impression that Star Wars fans are having the same issues with Anakin and Asoka right now that we TF fans are having with the over saturation of Bumblebee and Prime figs.

I have to say that I was unsure until I opened the larger image but, wow, I actually quite like it - throw in lightsaber storage and I'm sold!

This I do believe I am going to get. Really digging it.

Yeah, 'The Clone Wars' may have simplified the Transformers, but at least the series itself is awesome! (And if you don't want them, don't get them! Haha) I'm not that keen on the new-look Grievous/Obi-Wan/Anakin as I was on the previous figures (which I have anyway)...And yes, I am a Star Wars fan first!

Still, I'm really liking the quad-changer, especially the difference between the two Star Destroyers! :grin:

The only drawback so far is that Anakin looks a bit too much like Pre Vizsla...Otehr than that..."Impressive; most impressive!"

The Quad Changer is actually really rather nice. Its a shame its a Star Wars figure, really - something that mad would've been great in Classics.

Something similar where Optimus Prime transformed into Rodimus Prime. Megatron into Galvatron or even Orion Pax into Optimus Prime would be pretty cool.

$130 is the case price, $45 is just the one figure so BBTS has it right. Lethal Farce corrected their article.

Easy pass for me on these. I admit the Marvel crossovers are a guilty pleasure but I have no desire for any Star Wars crossover.

this thing has mechtech ports on them awsome sarcasm :grin:

looks good i suppose i perfer video review on this for fun

by **Rated X** » Mon May 30, 2011 8:17 am

The thing that makes crossovers suck is the stupid heads. Totally ruins the figure. I mean, isnt the fact that it transforms into a star destroyer enough to be a great homage ??? Does it really need a stupid human head ??? Would be great if a 3rd party company made new heads to turn these figures into cool new characters. Until then they will collect dust in TJ Maxx and Ross or make great parts for kitbashers.

And for the record, I love star wars. I just dont like doll heads on robots.

Beating a dead horse, but to me what kills these things is have them transform into Star Wars characters. If they transformed for Star Wars vehicles into Transformers characters I would probably buy them all.

News Credits: 198 · by **DevastaTTor** » Mon May 30, 2011 8:45 am

Seriously, who's buying these? I'm a huge SW fan/collector too but would touch them with a ten foot pole. I can't believe this line has been around for so many years.

No thanks, I haven't bought a SW transformer yet, and never will.

Now if they made Jurassic Park transformers, I'd be all over them.

At least then they'd be Earth vehicles, and dinosaurs.

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANT!

*AHEM* I mean, uh, yeah nice idea! I'd buy! *Thumbs up*

How to take the middle ground on this one...well, for a ship that becomes 2 different characters (sort of) this quad changer looks a lot better than the split-in-two Millennium Falcon.

And like the Vader Death Star, I guess this is nice for Star Wars collectors who've always wanted an Imperial Star Destroyer that's not too huge and not too close to Micro Machines. Assuming this is $40.00 in regular retail, SW fans who splurged on the enormous Lego version will probably consider this thing fleet-builder priced by comparison.

I might even have considered getting it if they had left out the Anakin form and its required kibble.

The Anakin form doesn't add any kibble.

The Anakin form is the same as the Vader form, only with a head flip, small panel slide and a slight leg extension. The shield is the nose of the destroyer, and Vader can also hold the shield. The nose of the ship would be necessary whether or not the Anakin form was included and since Vader can hold the shield it is very likely that the toy would be nearly identical without the Anakin head.

They even use the same light saber. Only Vader's light saber blade fits into the other end of the handle than the "Anakin-mode" light saber, and you have to add that ill-advised fire shaped red plastic to cover the blue blade.

They look like they are wearing knee high boots....kinky.

Not been a fan of the crossover toys and these do nothing to change my mind. I do like how they got the two different ships so well represented but Im wondering if you simply turn the whole thing upside down and fill in the gaps in the side with something.

News Credits: 2 · by **Stockade** » Tue May 31, 2011 9:53 am

I wish Hasbro would pull their head out of their ass with these cross-over toys and just focus on whats important: Transformers, GI Joe and Starwars!!! There's no need inbreed these lines!!

Oh yeah, these suck like Hoover vaccum.

by **Screamfleet** » Tue May 31, 2011 12:12 pm

I'm not sure if I'm disappointed that they never get to the B-wing or A-wing, or glad they never get to them.

Star Destroyer? That's wicked.

Was there ever an Admiral Akbar Transformer? If not, why not? Dammit!

I was unclear, but I meant Anakin and his ship. I would prefer if this was just Vader <--> Star Destroyer.
