I figured it would be something likes this. Since we already have 2 SW/TF that are Darth Vader - wouldn't it have been better if they did the Emperor?

But like NC said, this is about profits, Vader Star will sell, Palpatine or Tarkin wouldn't.


yep, Palpatine's withered old mug would just not look right.

That's like putting Mr. Burn's head on Unicron's body or something. :lol:

You know what, if they did the pilot, Palpatine, the gunner or anyone else, everyone would be saying "oh that sould be Vader".

Now, everyone is entitled to their oppinion, and I'm just saying put an ewok on that thing :-?

I still wish that from day one that they would have made the starwars ships transform into Transformers like starscream, megs, optimus... instead of Starwars Characters, it would have made for a more interesting concept. Imagine a death star that was unicron either way I still like the Starwars Transformers.

I like this a lot, keep in mind I thought all the other robot modes were terrible, inconsistant, ugly. But this is nice, better than Primus and Unicron, The pistol is strange seeing as his chest is the super laser. Very nice, I would like to see the heads looking more consistant with the overall body sculpt though, instead of a bad kitbash, but, it looks okay on this one.

Postby Gauntlet101010 » Mon Jan 29, 2007 12:47 am

People are questioning the gun, the choice of Vader .... but nobody seems to be questioning the cloth cape?

I don't even try to put logic into this. It's a giant space station .... why would it even have a lightsaber much less a gun? Why would anyone want a mech to be a robotic effigy of themselves, much less Palpatine or Vader? And why make the Death Star able to transform anyway, if you think on it. What, blowing up planets isn't enough for you? It's gotta be able to dance too?

*shruggs*

Three Vaders in one line is a bit much ..... but considering the first two looked really bad, I welcome this addition. Granted, I'd rather it be Unicron or Megatron, but .... whatever. Vader's head doesn't look quite as out of place as on every other design so far. Vader's my favorite SW character. The guy has a sword and transforms into the Death Star.

Look like a buy to me.

There can never be too much Vader.

And its about time they did the death star, Unicron can finally have some competition on my 'stupidly large TF' shelf.

Heh, I'd actually consider them to be stupidly small, given the grand difference in scale between a 12 in planet-sized TF(or moon-sized, as is the case with the death star) & the standard 6in vehicle TF. I mean I've got Primus sitting on my TV in planet mode right now, & the Jolt figure attatched to him is about the size of a small to medium-sized country, given the difference in scale between them.

& given the size if the smaller figures in that death star, I'd say it would be on scale with a small house or apartment....were it rectangular & not spherical....but far from what it would be were it to scale.

....then again, it would be incredibly stupid to try to make one to scale......
