- Clone Pilot / Republic Gunship...repainted in the now-classic Clone Wars color scheme, it was only a matter of time before we saw this made. Note the ARC Trooper pilot this time...a nice touch.
- Obi-Wan Kenobi / Jedi Starfighter...complete with Hyperspace Ring!
See the images by clicking here.
More Bots. More News. More Awesome.

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.

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.

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.

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