I like it!! Moreso now than the originals. Not sure what I want next though, an X-Wing based one or a Jedi Starfighter version..OR Kylo's TIE Silencer!!Kurona wrote:So am I the only one who actually likes the concept of the vehicles turning into mechs of Star Wars characters? Don't get me wrong, a Star Destroyer Megatron or an X-Wing Anode would be awesome, but I also really like the idea of this weird alternate universe where the Rebels and the Empire fight each other with giant mech suits. It kind of helps that the first one being made is Vader, since, well, like Kenobi said -- he's more machine than man. His suit's edifice on a giant robot makes sense.

It's his button panel, it isn't supposed to be in his chest it's supposed to be right above his belt. They really made a mistake trying to cram all of his iconic parts into one little flap that can't even sit flat on his chest. Plus the more accurate light gray makes for an even less accurate Vader.

I alwsys failed to understand how these are considered "crossovers" when theres nothing related to the Transformers franchise other than the fact it transforms. Thats the same argument the anti 3rd party crowd used to use so its kind of ironic. Why not give the vehicles respective Autobot snd Decepticon heads that coincide with their rank?
Examples:
Darth Vader Tie Fighter: Megatron
Regular Tie Fighter: Starscream
Slave-1: Soundwave
X-Wing Fighter: Optimus Prime
Millennium Falcon: Ironhide
Snowspeeder: Bumblebee
Then you would have actual Transformers "crossovers" instead of transformable robots with stupid human heads. Just saying...

It's what many want.
But Transformers is just Star Wars' bitch. We can keep hoping, or not.
