New Images of Takara Tomy Transformers Star Wars Crossover Tie Advanced X1

Ah, this brings me back to the days of when I played with my Star Wars Transformers (along with Cybertron Prime and Crumplezone). The Millennuim Falcon was my favorite figure(s) of the line (along with Death Star Vader). While they're not the greatest figures, I still have so many memories of joy.

This new TIE Advanced Vader looks really good, and a lot better than the old one!Would love to see how it transforms, but I hope we get more figures from the line (not just from the OT, but also from the prequels and the Disney trilogy). Oh, and release them to other countries!

Meh.. Star Wars.. Pfft!

I'll pass. Seeing as how I WAS a Star Wars fan back in the day, with Disney in charge..

Nah..

I think I am happier with Bayformers. At least there you know what you're getting. In the New Star Wars Disney franchise.. it's all rehashed BS and fan fiction masquerading as a film franchise continuation. I'd rather not go down that road.

It's a great toyline for the kiddies..

A great testament to the original series is that Hasbro and Takara are only doing the most beloved and recognizable versions.. Seems Like Kylo Freak and his cadre of wannabee Imperials are not as popular as old Anakin is..LMAO!

The original Star Wars is still king, reboots (pretenders) are out!

Calm down, dude.

I hope they do some new trilogy ones too.

That'd be friggin' awesome! A K2-SO that turns into... something would be cool. Don't really care what; I just know that he'd fit the aesthetic so much better than a human.

Much like the Star Wars constraction sets from Lego; if you're going to make a line with robot-like designs, it only stands to reason that robotic (or armored - see the Fetts, troopers, and often Vader himself) characters will look infinitely better than weirdly human ones.

oh not again. Was a stupid idea the first time round. And I ain't just saying that cos I kinda loathe Star Wars these days. Also that Millenium Falcon turned into two very creepy Chewie and Han robots... Hated that damn thing.

Ok....the only feedback I have is this:

1) It looks pretty cool. Final judgment once stock photos are presented.

2) Being a die hard Star Wars and Transformers fan I have to say I'm a tad disturbed with a handful of the comments...Yes, we are all entitled to our opinions. Yes, those opinions can and may differ...that being said, some of y'all need to chill out.

How bout we take the emotion and hating from 11 down to like 3?!? I love my collections, I love my toys.... I'll say that again, I love my TOYS. Toys are the heart of all this...us older collectors may enjoy these for nostalgia's sake, but in the end these are toys for children...Toys that will create memories and fun just like our first toys did.

So all you Atomic Bombs of negativity out there...tone it down.

Hey, I'm just having fun there. You may have misinterpreted it. Sorry if I presented it in a way that makes it seem like I was actually ranting..lol

You're not a moderator so ... no. People are allowed to express their opinions, as long as they're within the forum rules.

And I've yet to see any posts in this thread that go against the forum rules.

You're okay with these? Hey that's cool, personally, they've missed the point of "Star Wars Transformers" again. The majority of the first go round sucked because they slapped humanoid heads on robot bodies and it looked incredibly out of place.

I, and I have no doubt many others would agree with me, would prefer to see Star Wars vehicles transforming into Transformer characters. They could have little pilots/drivers that are SW characters, heck, we just had an entire line of tiny robots that transform into heads for bigger robots, that could be followed to!

But no, Star Wars is its own behemoth making other lines its *****. That's why I fully expect this second iteration to suck.

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.

Well when I did collect the original releases back in the day, I imagined that Cybertron was dormant from the war, and that somehow a human broadcast of Star Wars the original trilogy was received by Cybertron,maybe by a wormhole, and thus Vector Sigma instituted a reboot of the planet using the characters from the movies, which the new Transformers bodies were forged from, kinda like Teletran searching for objects to repair Megs and co. from in the original 3 part pilot of G-1.

so Vader was a reboot of Megatron's form complete with mental engrams of the movie giving him a different personality, and so on..

From what I hear, this whole Repetitive-ness in the newest trilogy, was actually George Lucas' plan.

So Lucas invented the corporate business model that is making Hollywood stale these days? Lucas invented the dreaded movie "Formula" repeat, repeat, repeat, make money, make money, make money. ahh.. My long lost question of how it all got started is now answered.

Lets keep it about the toys. We actually have a thread dedicated to Star Wars. (Two really if you count toys and non-toys)

I loved the early SW/TFs, back when they were sorta tied to Transformers. Vader was one of the best from the early days, and they should include the lightsaber since as I remember it doubled as a springloaded missile.

Actually that's looking super awesome. I hope other characters get a go and the fact it is available stateside.

Well While I agree Vader was good, I did like the Jedi Starfighter versions the best. I hope they release another Jedi Star Fighter as good as this, I repainted my figure's hands and head Blue rather then the reds, but other then that, I loved this guy.



The Ones I owned were all here in the pic, except Chewbacca..A wookie headed Transformer just seemed weird to me.

To me the Transformers Stormtroopers make a lot of sense, not because of the helmets rather than exposed faces, but because I think modeling giant bipedal robots after your soldiers makes sense. Robo Vader makes some sense as well simply because I feel like he's vain enough to do something like that. If you're the most intimidating guy in the galaxy then why wouldn't you slap your helmet on your giant killer robot?

That makes no bloody sense, unless you found one second hand and didn't care that you had only half of an alt mode. After all, Han and Chewy combined together to form the Falcon.

I need to see if I can find my old Star Wars Transformers. I skipped the Prequel Trilogy ones back in the day, but I had most or all of the Original Trilogy ones. Pretty sure they are in a box in my parents' basement, except for the Darth Vader / Death Star one, which is the only one I still regularly keep on display. He hangs out with the few Masterpiece Decepticons I have.
