There's alot of hate for the SWTFs on the TF-only message boards. Here on this board, we seem to have more tolerance. I myself am dissappointed overall, but do like some of the figs. I do love my Millenium Falcon/ Chewie N Han. Looking forward to the Turbo Tank, too. Not to mention Death Star Vader (Oooo!) On the other hand, I don't like most of the starfighter figures ( but Wee Jas looks kinda nice) and I really hate the upcoming AT-AT. Alot of the negativity seems to come from the fact that these aren't TF characters who turn into SW vehicles. I don't see the big deal. They're toys. You're supposed to use your imagination. Besides, when Starscream turns into something other than his G1 jet, most die-hards throw a tantrum. We're a hard bunch to please, I guess.  |

Some of them were particularly nifty looking, like Grievous' Wheelbike.... Which is something I've never understood.... "Wheelbike". Bike is short for bicycle, meaning "2 wheels", but Grievous' vehicle is like an armored unicycle.... whatever.  Anyways, I would've liked that one, but never got him. MM got me Darth Vader as his TIE, which I kept sealed, but other than that, I wasn't really all that impressed. The human characters look the worst as Transformers. The more robotic or strange characters such a Grievous, Darth Vader, and even Chewbacca are the ones that seemed to lend themselves well to this toyline. |

Yeah some were good, some not so much, it is a tricky cross-over. Curious had anyone seen the Darth Vader Death Star? I hadn't seen it till today.  He reminds me a little of Unicrom in transformed mode. |

I still wanna see a blackout that turns into an imperial shuttle or or or a starscream that turns into an imperial starfighter! |

Well, I never thought of it, but you are right, it should be called "wheelcycle".
The Millenium Falcon/ Chewie & Han is cool, but the Death Star/ Vader Ionic posted is fantastic looking.
Overall, we likes them quite a bit.

Yeah, I saw it at either the San Diego Comic-Con or Celebration 4 (I forgot), but the Hasbro guys liked it. I think it fired the lightsaber out of the Death Star Death Ray. I also saw it again on G4 (tech TV). It looks cool.

i always wanted an XWing transformer....not sure why...so when they made one i thought GREAT!!! and picked it up.
The rest of the line looks ok but not impressed with the rest of them....though the death star does look kinda cool. you could do a Death star Vs Unicron
