I hate to be a hypocrite, but I just got into collecting the transformer attacktix, in fact just yesterday. I just bought Omega Supreme and he has the ability to pick up and throw figures at his opponents. This can be his own or his enemies figures. THIS DOESN’T SEEM FAIR for the STAR WARS attacktix players! The star wars squad does not legally have this ability. Therefore, I think it should be legal for the Republic Gunship to be able to drop, at least his or her own figures if not their enemies’ figures in a battle between star wars figures and transformers. Tell me what you all think.

tried it, it all depends who you want to "bomb" if its a 10 pointer suicide bombing a 40, chances are slim. Hey, do you think transporting a Gunship with a gunship(or any other BM) is legal? (EX:2 gunships in play, although hard, gunship #1 transports gunship #2, gunship number 2 then moves gunship #1 further)

Yeah, But I'm talking THROWING them! Omega Supreme has height and can lift figure above his head to launch at a target. If anyone knows about physics, one knows that the energy exerted to lift the figure is then transformed to kinetic energy when released. So not only do you have the force of the throw to deal with you have the stored energy from lifting the figure. Now, YodaBreaker, to agree with you. Yes, you can do a lot of damage with a striker figure and get a figure to go across the room but there is a difference between a good striker and Omega. With his claw and the height at which it releases, you can throw the figure father than any striker could ever through a figure. Try is out, have a distance throwing contest and see who can throw further. I admit I could be wrong, but its always fun to experiment. ;D

Another question regarding the Gunship -
If you're using the Gunship to transport a figure and you don't have a good lock on it or something and it falls, landing on its side, does that figure count as defeated?

I'd say it's house rules. However, if I was playing with you I'd say tough luck. ;D
Nah, I'd give you a break and let you place your figure where you wanted to.
Besides, those Republic gunships can be tricky. I find it hard to hold the base, and do everything else with only two hands. So I'd say give the person a break if the figure drops.

I have never thought of using my own figures as bombs. It would be best to use a heavy figure for the job, like Thing or Magneto. Cool idea!

You can't drop a figure onto another as an attacktix. Hasbro made this clear:
Q: How can I attack with my Republic Gunship? A: The Gunship can attack in any of the following ways:
1) Transport one of your own figures to a new location. 2) Shoot the Gunship's missile (with the Gunship either on the base or "flying" off it) 3) 1), then 2). 4) 2), then 1).
Any of these count as only one attack. [HASBRO]
The gunship transports figures, it does not perform suicidal drops.

I seem to remember a rather large discussion on this way back when we were waiting for the gunship to show up in stores. Much in the same way as now I am waiting as patiently as possible for SW5 and TF2 to turn up somewhere.

Right, I think Radar or JayDouble was the first person to see the Gunship, and get the interview at SDCC... and he announced that you could drop figures on others to kill them. That info was later found to be false in second JoeAttacktix interview

Lol even tho this isn't the original intent...I'm going with house rule power to over ride a non-turny legal figure. My house this will be legal (200 point game 70 point gunship, s4 vader x2 tarkin x 3 and at-st driver bombilicious.)
