Colour Images of Takara Star Wars Powered By Transformer Crossover Darth Vader

A few things look off to me shape-wise/proportionally. The chest panel, the waist, the calves... and I'm not sure what the deal is with those gold details on his helmet.

Maybe it's just an awkward angle, though. I'll reserve judgement until I see more images.

I would love to see a line where TF characters turn into SW vehicles, robot representations of SW characters just don't interest me. You could definitely have some kind of Megatron turn into a tie fighter like this, BB be the naboo ships from ep 1, etc.

I maintain that the Death Star in this line should really have been Palpatine instead of Vader. Brainstorm: half-constructed Death Star II Palpatine figure. That would actually be kind of cool. I don't think there's ever been a toy representation of the second Death Star has there?

Ewwww....No. Just no. (And I like Star Wars FYI)

I alwsys failed to understand how these are considered "crossovers" when theres nothing related to the Transformers franchise other than the fact it transforms. Thats the same argument the anti 3rd party crowd used to use so its kind of ironic. Why not give the vehicles respective Autobot snd Decepticon heads that coincide with their rank?

Examples:

Darth Vader Tie Fighter: Megatron
Regular Tie Fighter: Starscream
Slave-1: Soundwave
X-Wing Fighter: Optimus Prime
Millennium Falcon: Ironhide
Snowspeeder: Bumblebee

Then you would have actual Transformers "crossovers" instead of transformable robots with stupid human heads. Just saying...

I guess the SW universe doesn't lend itself well to "contamination" shall we say?

Not really feeling the robot mode.

Why are they Bringing this back? at all?

It's his button panel, it isn't supposed to be in his chest it's supposed to be right above his belt. They really made a mistake trying to cram all of his iconic parts into one little flap that can't even sit flat on his chest. Plus the more accurate light gray makes for an even less accurate Vader.

I honestly can't tell if you're agreeing with me or trying to contradict me. Either way, that figure has a longer than accurate torso leaving a larger gap between the panel and the belt than the actual costume(s) had. It certainly wasn't sitting just under his neck in the middle of whatever that fringe is called.

It's what many want.

But Transformers is just Star Wars' bitch. We can keep hoping, or not.

It's what we Transformers fans want... but what about the Star Wars fans?

Who gives a **** what they want? They've got entire aisles dedicated to their toys, they shove other lines out of the way every time a movie comes along. They need to learn to share!

I've come to discover that they're like GI Joe fans. They're on an island all their own and don't acknowledge that their part of a larger hobby.
