Hasbro has updated their website with official images of Class I Wave 2 Star Wars Transformers. This wave includes Darth Vader who transforms into a Sith Starfighter and Saesee Tinn who transforms into a Jedi Starfighter.

Darth Vader/Sith Starfighter

Darth Vader’s starfighter blasts his enemies in a fierce space battle. Using the Force, the fighter is converted into a menacing mech that confronts attackers on the ground.

This fierce figure is more than his enemies could possibly guess! In mech mode, your DARTH VADER figure comes with two lightsabers, one for each fist. But when it’s time for a change of tactics, convert him to vehicle mode to chase down his fleeing opponents! It’s the intergalactic action of Star Wars and the converting action of TRANSFORMERS in one awesome figure!

Saesee Tiin/Jedi Starfighter

Fueled by the power of the Force, Saesee Tiin’s Jedi starfighter races through space toward his next mission, then converts into mech mode to strike the battle droid army.

This fierce figure is more than his enemies could possibly guess! In mech mode, your SAESEE TIIN figure comes with two lightsabers, one for each fist. But when it’s time for a change of tactics, convert him to vehicle mode to chase down his fleeing opponents! It’s the intergalactic action of Star Wars and the converting action of TRANSFORMERS in one awesome figure!

If you like your Star Wars Transformers a bit bigger, we also have images of new Class II figures. This assortment includes Clone Commander Wolffe to Republic Gunship, Battle Droid Commander to AAT and Clone Captain Keeli to AT-TE.

Clone Commander Wolffe/Republic Gunship

The clone commander Wolffe mech leads his Wolfpack squadron against a swarm of battle droids, then converts to a Republic gunship to attack more droids from the sky.

This warrior figure - with launching projectiles - is twice the trouble for the enemies that try to take him on! In mech mode your CLONE COMMANDER Wolffe figure has the battle armor to fight any foe. When it’s time to chase down his fleeing opponents, convert him to REPUBLIC GUNSHIP vehicle mode to race after them in hot pursuit!

Battle Droid Commander/AAT

The battle droid commander mech can take on a clone battalion on its own, and is just as destructive when it morphs into a fearsome Armored Assault Tank (AAT).

This warrior figure is twice the trouble for the enemies that try to take him on! In mech mode your BATTLE DROID Commander figure has the battle armor to fight any foe. When it’s time to chase down his fleeing opponents, convert him to AAT vehicle mode to race after them in hot pursuit!

Clone Captain Keeli/AT-TE

Captain Keeli engages enemy forces one-on-one in his heavily armored mech, then converts the mech to an intimidating AT-TE walker as more battle droids pour onto the battlefield.

This warrior figure - with launching projectiles - is twice the trouble for the enemies that try to take him on! In mech mode your CLONE CAPTAIN Keeli figure has the battle armor to fight any foe. When it’s time to change tactics, convert him to AT-TE vehicle mode to intimidate the fiercest fighters!

Are these the scout class star wars figures? I saw the first wave of them the other day and was tempted by them. I like star wars vehicles, and at that size and price I can forgive lackluster robots modes.

The class I figures Darth Vader and Saesee Tiin are Cyberverse Commanderish size. The others are regular Star Wars Transformers size.

The Class I figs are actually not too bad with the Obi-Wan figure being the best; in fact I think that one is a pretty good TF period. However, more repaints for SWTFs is fail.

it makes more sense than the tons of transformers repaints we get.. after all what does "CLONE commander" imply to you?

i think i'd actually prefer them to use one really solid nice looking mold for most of the clones. like.. obi-wans jedi starfighter thing. that's a great looking mold. if all of the clones were molded off of that and painted different colors, that would be pretty cool. have some different ones sure.. but having a whole fleet of clone transformers with different paint schemes would be AWESOME.

Over the years I've seen fellow fans down on SWTFs. Myself? After all the 3rd party goodness here lately, this news is awesome. It lets my wallet breathe a sigh of relief since I would NEVER spend a penny on these. I mean f'rl, do people ACTUALLY SPEND MONEY ON THIS?

These are probably the best SWTF I've seen. Some of them look reasonable but I still won't buy them.

A serious question: what the hell is up with the people who take these photos? What is Darth Vadar doing?!

What monkey designs these things?

I still like them.

I've got the Lt Thire/Republic Cruiser and Clone Trooper/AT-TE.

They're great replacements for the old Micro Machines series "Action Fleet". Plus they transform into a mech-y version of the character.

I wanted to get Action Fleet vehicles, but they were never on sale, and if they were, they were usually sold out.

Granted they're not great Transformers toys like Generations or RTS, but their vehicle modes are fun.

For a collector like me who doesn't want to spend $40 and up a giant sized version of these vehicles that can hold actual Star Wars figures, and also where space is an issue, these "Action Fleet" sized vehicles are good enough.

Also in Canada, they're regularly priced at $20, but if I can get them for $15, it's ok.

Out of the ones here, Commander Wolffe and Captain Keeli are ones I would consider buying for $15 or less.

Treating his lightsabers like maraccas apparently. Ah cha cha!

I thought maybe he was directing space traffic.

The Red Zone is for immediate loading and unloading of passengers to the Death Star only. There is no parking in the Red Zone.

It's a shame they do repaints so much (well, technically re-tools, but the parts that change are negligable).

They could've started to make vehicles we haven't seen as Transformers before (A-Wing/Green Leader, Naboo Starfighter/Rhys Dallows, Y-Wing/Gold Leader, etc.), but the focus is on The Clone Wars now, so naturally they've become more 'kid-friendly' (and I really like The Clone Wars series!)

Ah well, for me it was fun while it lasted; the only one I'm aiming to get now is the Quad-Changer! ^_^

OMG, reading that with Vader's voice in mind is PERFECT.

I want one that turns into the scorpian tank, and a super droid who turns into the spider walker!
Oh? Just repaints?

Call me crazy, but I think I might actually go for the two clones that turn into a republic gusnhip and an AT-Te. I've always been very fond of these two vehicles, and their robot modes actually don't look that bad.

I do feel they have became worse than when they first came out ,and it seems like everyone is a repaint .I do like the smaller ones ,and i do like the colors of Battle Droid Commander/AAT.My sister is the Star Wars fan so she is the better judge .

Yeah? The Gunship is the fourth version and for the Star Wars Transformers it's a good mould (then again the first two versions were released before the 'Crossovers' tag started...So more movie-based) and the AT-TE was previously Captain Rex...Part of the 'Crossovers' line, it's much simpler in terms of transformation, but worth trying out ^_^

(Apologies if you didn't want background info...But just in case! Haha!)

I think they look cool and stupid at the same time. They seem like Star Wars Go-Bots.Depending on how big they are
