First Look at New Star Wars Transformers

I would be getting the republic gunship

That Obi-wan remold actually doesn't look half bad...:-/ Paint job is definitely better than the barf orange of Saesee Tin.

Oh, look. Another Clone Wars repaint. Meh.

Those are totally awful. The idea was good, but they just somehow can't do it well.

Ah, more repaints from Hasbro.

Minimum amount of work, for more profit.

They should make a log that transforms into an Ewok.

I'd buy an Ewok SWTF =D

Oh, God.

Why can't Hasbro stop making these shitty figures and use the money for something like Leader Blakout or Voyager Bonecrusher, or hell, more Classics?

Accept if, Hasbro, this line FAILED. I have to climb over mountains of this shit to reach Movie toys.

The only SWTF (hey, that name fits the line. SWTF?)figure that looked alright was the Death Star Vader, and even that had crappy quality control.

(Rant over)

The Obi-wan wouldn't be bad if he had a different head and different paint scheme.

And unfortunaly, this line sells pretty well, so it will continue.

So what's next? G.I. Joe Transformers?

Here, they sell out pretty quick. And pretty much everywhere I go too.

I only have a few myself (the bigger ones). I might get the Obi-Wan, it looks more interesting than the first version.

PS : I'm ready GI Joe Transformers.

Where I've lived, at least, this things have stayed on the shelves. With better execution, these toys could've been terrific. Alternatively, with a slightly different concept, TF characters with Star Wars vehicle bodies, they also could've struck more of a chord. Why, oh why do they keep making these? I suppose repaints aren't as expensive, and they expect some profit, even if not as much as their other lines. I suppose I should be glad, since Hasbro's being kind to my pocketbook until Animated comes out.

This is news?
there just freakin repaints not new molds

All other Transformers repaints are also frontpaged, why would it be any different? They're Transformers too.

Lol, the photos show off the toys' crapiness.
The plastic just looks weak, the paint is sloppy, and... oh well. The robot modes just look rally weak.
Lol at the thin legs.

Who is more likely to buy these? Star Wars fans or Transformers
fans.
I lost interest in Star Wars toys years ago
but love Transformers. I have yet to spend any cash on these
and don't intend to.

For repaints I don't think they look too bad. I have a small handfull of the toys from this line and one of these might grab my intrest when i see it.

I wouldn't mind seeing this line go away, but I do want a DeathStar, and due to popular review from trusted members, that Comander Cody thing(plus I love what Jin did with it), and maybe a Darth Maul(I like the ship).

Beyond that this is more stuff that I won't buy. They cost to much, never go on sale, and even though the alts are spot on, the robots suck.

Maybe it's a territory thing, but near me, these don't ever sell.

obiwan would look great next to my darth vader

Never liked SWTF besides the GG toy. but the gunship looks appealing.

All of the figures are a resounding MEH. Seriously, they do not appeal to me, but hey, that's just my opinion.

those are two of the shittiest repaints i have ever seen

M'eh repaints. This line is almost dead to me.

I think these are awful and I collect them!

I started collecting swtf because at the time they started I was thinking of getting some star wars figures and they seemed like the perfect solution.

The reason I don't collect action figures is because I find them a bit boring - transformers come in a wide range of shapes, sizes and colours. Oh and they transform!

I don't mind repaints (seekers,prowl/smokescreen/bluestreak) but there's already an Obi-wan and the battleship is a repaint of mold that wasn't very good in the first place.

A repaint of Saesee Tiin as Kit Fisto or Plo Koon I would buy.

perfect sig.. thanks good sir.

No worries!!!

I think the Saesee Tiin mold is better than the original Obi-Wan but the colour seems a bit off to me.

Buy it, it's worth it. Decent articulation, a nice transformtation, hidden compartments, and the Storm trooper helmet is the closest thing (besides Darth Vader) to a TF style head you are gonna get. It's the only SWTF that I have bought, and the only one I plan on buying. My kids like it too, it's a cool vehicle, although I really can't tell which end is supposed to be the front.

Of course, we're all conveniently forgetting that many real TF faces have also been depicted for decades as silver human faces with glowing blue eyes.

Wholeheartedly agree. The Commander Cody tank is one of the few in this line that really is worth it. Since the robot mode is designed from a clone/storm trooper, it looks more convincing and a whole lot better than the mutated heads of other SWTF figures. Also, the robot mode is well proportioned, so it doesn't suffer from the flimsy leg joints that others in this line seem to.

Oh, by the way, the front of the vehicle would be the the end with the compartment you can put the small figure of the driver into.

See thats the only reason why I want it.

It's spoken so highly of that I gotta see what they hype is about.

That was a joke by the way . My 3 year old drives it one way, and my 1.5 year old the other. I personally think that the "back" looks better as the front than the front does.

These things are sad. I was turned off ever since i bought my first and only one and it fell apart in my hands lol .. Star Wars will keep making these sad thing too i think because they just keep releasing the same things over and over and over .. I think its time to retire everything starwars lol free up some shelf space for better toys like Transformers

PrimulArchangel wrote:i bought my first and only one and it fell apart in my hands

Which one? Some (like TIE Darth Vader and Obi-Wan) are sturdier than the others (Grievous, ARC Fighter Clone, Luke)

It was Grievous. there vehicle modes are ok but the bot modes i think are so bad.. The store near me are loaded with these things still , just collecting dust.. I would buy the death star just to rip off th ehead and cape and do a kitbash with it .. As far as the rest of the line , should be melted down for scrap i think lol

Ok so I bought this figure today, he's nice and all, but sorry, either I'm missing something or I don't see they hype.

Also, I realy don't know much about Star Wars, so is this a good or bad guy?

Darth Vader is like the uber bad guy of cinema history. He's the main character of all six movies and basically goes from a little innocent kid named Anakin Skywalker to an ambitious power hungry Jedi (sort of warrior monk with supernatural powers) then feels betrayed by everything and becomes the apprentice of an evil dictator Sith (mortal enemies of the Jedi)

That ball he transforms into is the Death Star, a huge spherical space station with a planet-destroying laser weapon.

Actualy I was asking about this Cody guy?

Thanks, but man, even babies know that

Liege Evilmus wrote:Actualy I was asking about this Cody guy?

Oops, sorry, my bad.

Clone Commander Cody is serving Obi-Wan Kenobi in Episode III. He's commander of a whole legion of orange deco-ed Clones and their mission is to take out General Grievous, who is a bad guy serving in the droid army. (the same army from Episode I and II which is controlled by Darth Sidious)

Cody has been pals with Obi-Wan for a long time, which is elaborated in the cartoon series taking place between epII and III. Chancellor Palpatine (the future Emperor) is ruler of the Galactic Republic and actually the same guy as the evil Darth Sidious. He declares a special Order (Order 66) stating that every Jedi should be killed. Thus, Cody turns against Obi-Wan, who falls seemingly to his death but escapes the planet to search for other Jedi survivors. That's pretty much all we see of Cody.

So this thing (like most things named Cody) is bad but not in a evil way?

I think I'll make him a member of my movie lens head drone battalion then.

Thanks again!
