I've hated Star Wars since THE CLONE WARS came out. :evil:

Loved animated Shockwave, he's still one of my favorites. This might actually be somewhat interesting if it wasn't Star Wars.

Unfortunately you're probably right. Of the two Star Wars Crossovers I've bought I gave one away and returned the other. I wouldn't mind having the Vader/Deathstar in spite of it being a giant shellformer though.

I just picked up the Vader/Death Star a week ago at a 2nd hand store store. It's cool but at the same time has great capacity to piss a person off but that's probably due to not having any instructions on how to transform the #@$%ing thing. I don't regret the purchase since it goes well with the X-Wing fighter and Tie Fighter from the Crossover line but these are the only SW Crossovers that I have been willing to pay money for.
I know everyone is saying that this Star Destroyer is going to be crap but, unlike the majority of the DotM stuff I've seen, it will be crap that I'll actually be tempted to throw money at. I'm a SW fan from day 1 of the saga (yeah, I saw the original in the theater back in '77...I'm that freaking old) and the thought of having a transforming Star Destroyer has me in fan-boy heaven.

Same here. I used to get the Lego sets and some of the action figures until the Clone Wars came out...
and somehow I ended up here. That should tell George Lucas something.

Dear George Lucas and company,
Thank you for ruining Star Wars for me so I could rediscover Transformers. I'm having a much better time now.

I dont think it'll be any better or worse than other Star Wars TFs. It's not really going to have 4 different modes. I mean, he'll have 2 heads, right? And the star destroyer and clone ship, aren't much different.

So, it'll still mostly be 1 toy with 2 modes, like animated shockwave.

I hope it's decent, because we've gotten so much jumbled messes out of these lines.

Kids must be eating them up if we keep on getting more, and they keep adding no effort.

Vadar is black, Anakin isn't, nor are Star Destroyers. How will they pull that off?

They won't.

I actually told myself this might be a possible by for me until I stopped and thought of the Millenium Falcon Crossover...

It's funny how Hasbro can't keep Universe (or whatever it is called this week) running constantly yet Crossovers never goes away.

They are saving that for the Barbie crossover. You dunk it in cold water and it auto-transforms into a princess with different color hair.

Well, your pessimism must have made you color blind.
In episode 3 anakin wears a healthy amount of black.
I think you're just too against the idea to look for ways that it would work.

I would love for this to work. Problem is, almost all the rest of their SW/TF toys have not worked.
