cant say ive been paying too much attention to them either, but as far as i can remember theres already been a Vader/Tie Advanced mold, the Plo Koon Jedi Starfighter will more than likely be a retool/redeco of one of the exsisting Jedi molds..

but as for the AT-TE, V-19, and the V-Wing i think these might be new molds, i cant remember ever seeing those before..

lets hope they dont screw them up :\ lol

V-Wing?

I'm still looking for a Commander Cody/Turbo Tank.
It's the coolest looking one of the entire line, IMO.

Stop making these. #-o

This is a V-wing.

I guess it's gonna be a new mold like Zero-Kaizer said. Because as far as I know, nothing that was previously released even resembles it. Unless they are gonna modify a Jedi Starfighter.

Yes!! Jediformers! Use the force!

News Credits: 1 · Sat Nov 08, 2008 12:47 am

I haven't bothered with any of the new molds but I'll pick up Plo Koon and maybe the AT-TE.

I'm still hoping they'll do a Kit Fisto repaint of the Jedi Starfighter.

I don't remember ever seeing that in the movie, but I am sure it was in there. It seems like Lucas created so many different vehicles for the movies just so they could sell more toys.

lol... that maybe the case.. i cant remember seeing a V-Wing on the big screen either, but i know its in battlefront 2, acts kinda like the Y-Wing, as a bomber i mean.

Yep, Darth Vader / TIE Fighter will be another repack of one of the first molds in this line. Perhaps they'll repack the light gray repaint from the 2-pack since the Obi-Wan from that pack was released separately as well. It was actually called a TIE Advanced in previous SWTF releases since that's the official name of this vehicle.

The Clone Pilot / V-Wing has to be a new mold. On first glance it might look similar to the AotC Jedi Starfighter, but they're actually way too different to justify remolding one. The V-Wing is deeper and has those crazy shield wings while the JSF is triangular and fairly flat. The V-Wing was seen in RotS escorting Palpatine's shuttle, which was carrying a charred Vader, to Coruscant.

Clone Pilot / V-19 Torrent will be a new mold as well. A sneak preview of its robot mode was shown months ago, at Toy Fair I think. This ship is from the Expanded Universe and showed up in the recent CGI Clone Wars film.

Plo Koon piloted a AotC type Jedi Starfighter in RotS, so he'll be a remolded redeco of Saesee Tiin. His fighter was navy blue with white stripes running in v-shapes over the triangular hull. Plo Koon's weird head would look very nifty as a robot.

And finally, a AT-TE transformer =D I don't know what type of Clone pilots these, since they were never shown in the movies, so anything goes for the head as far as I'm concerned.

I'll be picking up the three new and one remold for sure.

I'm not buying anything without pictures !

V-Wings are seen at the end of Episode III--they escort the the Emperor's shuttle after he picks up burnt Anakin.

As for this set, none really appeals to me. I have the Vader TIE fighter and the Chewy/Solo Falcon, and I actually like the both a lot, but none of the other toys from this line are that appealing.

Clone Trooper AT-TE
Clone Pilot V-19
Clone Trooper V-Wing

No. Not buying thses.

I hope the V-Wing/Shocktrooper is mistransformed because he shows promise.

Sat Nov 15, 2008 11:36 pm

I like the AT-TE the best, but I don't have high hopes in terms of quality. I've seen cool looking SWTFs before that turned out to be crappy when out of the package.

I think all three of the new clones show promise. But I wonder if the V-19 is a remolded Palpatine/Imp shuttle or totally brand new.

I just don't get these...giant vehicles that transform into giant people? It would be much cooler if they worked along side each other like the Transformers did with G.I. Joe...I just think it would be cool to have a biker scout and his speeder, only his speeder is the transformer...and together they make the sweetest team on their private little recon missions. Kinda suprises we haven't see a speeder bike transformer...not even a kitbash...but I can dream...

That is a good idea, but not enough 'bulk' for them to use probably.

A STAP, and an AT-ST would also be cool. If only the figs were more solid, less shell formers, and actually stood up in bot mode. :evil:

SWTF will be shellformers forever. Hasbro knows where its bread is buttered...who would you rather piss off? Star Wars fans or Transformers fans? Sorry kids, we're massively outnumbered so as a result the vehicle modes are always going to be extremely accurate with the robot modes being "fit into" these molds.

On that note, I do remember the AT-TE in Ep II and Ep III. The V-Wing looks like the best of the three new molds. I'll be picking these up for sure...not too shabby. :-?

another tie fighter darth vader what makes this one any differnt from the other one.?

i only bought one from this series and staying with one death star im not big fan of crossovers, i saw wolverin, black suite spidey at target and decided not to get them they really were not that impressive to me.
