Its kind of like Basic Instinct, but not in a good way...
Goddammit, now I can't unsee it.

Actually the first General Grievous mold was very good. I also am fond of the XWing fighter mold. I do have all of them (excluding repaints) and agree they aren't as good as normal TFs. however I also will always point out that- unlike Transformers- the designers do not have the luxury of tweaking the vehicle modes to fit in better bot modes. The vehicles are already designed and popular, so changing them could potentially rile the avid-and-much-moodier Star Wars fan base. The thing that makes these sell so well is the size: kids want the vehicles; parents see the full size vehicle price and go "Gak!" They see the smaller-yet-still-accurate SWTF and think, "Hmmm...same vehicle, plus there's a robot mode! And it's CHEAPER! I'll buy it!" And the kids are still happy because they still got the vehicle they wanted AND it transforms into a cool robot of a character they are familiar with.
That's my theory anyways. So I will give Hasbro kudos for trying and making due with what they have available.
