Jedi Insider has secured pictures of two new Star Wars Transformers molds. The Tie Bomber transforms into a Tie Fighter Pilot, and the Starship changes into General Grievious (his second SW/TF!). You can check out the original story here... http://jediinsider.com/index.php?catid=8&itemid=11005

now swtf has at least 3 decent looking figures.

News Credits: 337 · by **Air Commander Starscream** » Fri Apr 04, 2008 6:57 pm

Those are pretty impressive. This series has improved so much since it's first wave of figures... Can't wait to add those to my collection, they look really cool.

Just looking at them, the Tie Pilot looks like the best figure in the line...ever! :shock:

I like the TIE Bomber/Pilot, but Grevious is horribly stiff and what happened to his other 2 arms?

Ohh and you should edit those links tags.

I know that's the face of the bombers pilot, but that head ruins the figure. Still, the ship-modes look excellent (if they weren't so hellofa expensive here, I'd buy them).

The arms can be separated into four arms as it looks.

Well, congrats SWTF, you are still the gayest TF line ever.
god.
:-(

But, the tie pilot looks like something that I would actually buy if there was nothing else interesting in the store.

That bombers hot, the other thing is a waste.

I think that the TIE Pilot would look better if it was like, totally black.....

Oh wow. The TIE Bomber looks amazing. Part of me hopes they do the TIE Interceptor too as it's my favourite Star Wars starfighter... But it will probably looks like crap with the single ball.

That TIE Bomber is freakin sweet

Having only one ball is a problem I wouldn't want to have!

You know, symetry and all...

Can't believe I'm saying this.. but I might actually buy something from the TFSW line.

For pete's sake bro, you can use better words than that to describe horrible, and you might just end up offending someone.

The Tie-Bomber looks sweet!

News Credits: 8 · by **NuclearConvoy** » Fri Apr 04, 2008 9:45 pm

TIE_Bomber looks pretty excellent, IMO.
Grievous new headsculpt is excellent, but his body looks wretched.

Vehicle modes, as usual, are aces.

by **Smokescreen85** » Fri Apr 04, 2008 10:38 pm

The Tie Bomber looks cool and the Grievous starfighter is okay. At least it's better than the wheel bike.

The Tie Bomber works well for me because it doesn't look like a strange technorganic version of someone we know from the movies, but instead like a transforming Tie Bomber with a head modeled after the helmets of the pilots. It looks like a better than average 'bot mode for the line, and it's being itself instead of an inexplicable cyborg Chewbacca. I might actually want that one.

Another swing and a miss as far as I'm concerned.

hto be honest they dont look that all differnt to me to series 1 & 2 sets i like the idea of this series and would probably but two or 3 figures from the seres but thats it just dont loko that all differnt compared to the others i like them either way.

by **soundwave13c** » Sat Apr 05, 2008 11:33 am

tie-bomer is the best i've seen :APPLAUSE:

. way better than the stupid luke/x-wing

Very impressive...it's really nice to FINALLY see a couple new molds from this line.

As always, you have to throw the SWTF disclaimer in: this line is designed fpr the vehicle modes with the robots thrown in as an afterthought almost. THey can't tweak the vehicle modes without angering the SW fan community...which outnumber us.

You speak golden truths, friend.

Cool, although I hate this line I must say that TIE Bomber is pretty nice, the black helmut is abit jarring - it would look better with some of the blue grey on it.

I've always liked this ship, had the toy of it about a decade ago.
