As usual, nice vehicles, crap robots. The AT-AT doesn't look right in altmode due to the variation in plastic colour.
Overall the best-looking one out of these 3 is the Turbo Tank. Best SWTF Robot Mode yet.
I won't get any of these, but if they make a Star Destroyer, I might get it for the altmode.

I'll be picking up the AT-AT Driver (along with the Galactic Heroes version, so cute...) for my brother for Christmas. The AT-AT Driver is his all-time favourite Star Wars Trooper...
But shhhh! Don't tell him! It's a surprise!

Meh, I don't care much for Star Wars or the SWTF's.
But it doesn't look all bad.

Al modes look rally nice on all 3. But Luke and the Storm Trooper have definite problems in Robot mode.
Luke has a barrage of kibble goin on there above his head. I mean if he isn't top and back heavy, then Primus doesn't turn into a Planet.
The Storm Trooper ends up looking very scrawny. not good.
However Clone Commander Cody/Turbo Tank, I like he looks nice in Alt mode, and is quite nicely put together in Robot mode. He's even good enough to repaint into something else. I wonder who had 6 or 8 tires in G1, into which he could be repainted.
I just had a one of those moments... The Snowspeeder/Luke in Yellow would make a very accurate Cybertronian G1 Bumblebee.
I feel a digibash coming on.

The Turbotank isn't too bad, but the articulation looks really bad. The rest, as usual with the Star Wars TFs, are crap.

I do wish they turned into Transformers not giant Star Wars characters. Something like Turbo Tank that turns into Motormaster, or a Snow Speeder who turns into Jazz. I just can't collect them otherwise.

Commander Cody, seems a little limited in the legs, but i think he might just be mis-transformed, or badly posed. He has what look like knees and he should be at least as poseable as a deluxe figure. Actually he's the better looking of the bunch.
The other 2, just so may things wrong with them, its sad.

New names, same crap...and I like SW and Transformers.
The AT-AT is one of my favorite vehicles, but this is not.
The Turbo Tank is the best of the bunch, and if we are talking kitbashes, I see these as a Sentinel Prime.

"The AT-AT looks pretty good" I told myself.
Then the robot mode legs loaded into the picture.
Oh. My. God. Somebody shoot that thing and put it out of my misery.

Yeah, because we all know that, unlike Star Wars, Transformers
never uses the same old characters over and over again...

So anyone know the deal w/the Darth Vader Deathstar figure? That's the only one I actually like. General Grievous isn't bad though...

The Turbo Tank actually DOES look decent.
And I think that these would profit greatly from turning into original bot modes.

Star Wars Transformers are NOT moving at my Walmart. None of them. I took a look, considering I'm a fan of both...some things don't mix just because they are good by themselves. Two rights sometimes make a wrong!

I'm kidding, not trying to rag on anyone, but I do think its funny that AT-AT is being called ugly because its TOO robot-like.
Is it the best looking TF ever? No, but it also isn't the ugliest, and it definately doesn't need to be put out of its misery.

The Snow Speeder and clone era tank do look better than the majority of SWTFs, but still, yet another round of lacluster tfs from the Star Wars side of Hasbro.

This is not two rights!
To be two rights it'd have to have TF charecters in it, and be designed by the TF department (you know, the department that has been disingning transforming toys for over 20 years) instead of the Star Wars department, who have been designing the same 5 ships and action figures in different sizes for the last 30 years.
(I know that'd kinda make 3 rights, but sue me.)

These took long enough to come out. Ive been waiting for ever. I just want that turbo tank. He looks.......right. He actually fits in with TF. Not too humanish looking. I wish they were actual tf characters not robot looking versions of their pilots. A megatron that turns into a storm trooper rifle......!
Bumblebee as a snow speeder!

BB as a yellow snowspeeder?
That's not very camouflagey though.
I think the AT-AT Walker's robot mode looks disappointing.

I have to agree....Commander Cody is the best looking one, and if he has good articulation (pic doesnt give me hopw) I might get him. I have the Darth Vader Jedistarfighter. He is ok. I bought my nephew the Darth Vader Tie Fighter and I'd have to say it's a GREAT figure. Good articulation and both modes are good.
Now look below for what I am keeping an eye out for. If I cant have Unicron to fight Primus, I guess I will have to settle for this!!!
Enjoy!!

As I've mentioned before, I think the engineers who design these SWTF are doing the best they can with what they have. Hasbro obviously wants to capitalize on the crossover of fans. The difficulty lies in the fact that, unlike actual Transformers, the Star Wars vehicle modes are present and can't be altered without incurring the wrath of Star Wars fans. Just as we won't necessarily buy a figure that doesn't look like Optimus Prime but has his name, Star Wars fans won't buy vehicles that don't look like SW vehicles. So the engineers have to work within two significant limitations: size and vehicle design restrictions. If they were Voyager sized rather than deluxe sized, they could get some more poseability or gimmicks, but obviously they want to hold that 14.99 price point. So for what they are, I like these three figures and commend the engineers for managing to do as well as they have (relatively).

It's not that it's too robot like, it's that it's too un-TF like. And coming from a universe where legs can come in a huge variety of shapes and sizes... well, it's quite a feat to look that out of place.

The AT-AT makes a good Gobot base guy.
