Title: Star Wars Transformers

These are showing up in Canada now.  I picked up the Obi wan - I think it's pretty cool.

Anyone else pick any of these up?  Thoughts?

The Vader looks pretty sweet too.

I'm a big SW collector, but at $20 each, I'm passing.  I don't think they look very good in 'figure' mode...

I honestly don't think they look good at all.

Neat idea, but lame overall.

They should've had Star Wars vehicles turn into robots. But nooooooooo we needed to have Luke and Vader and Obi-Wan.

They are Star Wars vehicles that turn into robots. Just robots based on Luke, Vader, and Obi-Wan. But there's something seriously ugly about these guys in robot mode. I showed pics of wave 2 to friends, and one thought someone wasted a cool Imperial shuttle making a bad Emperor custom.

I *knew* someone was gonna call me on that.

Original robots. Robots that look like they stepped out of a Transformers cartoon. Otherwise these are just slightly superior Marvel Megamorphs.

Ugh... the bastardization of TF continues.

I saw Sunstreaker, Prowl, Skids and Tracks at the TRU near me. All sold out now of course.

How is Sunstreaker? He is the only out of those 4 I didn't get.

Best one of the bunch for colour scheme.  But the doors don't seem to align properly with the rest of the car body.

I noticed that looking at it in WalMart. That was why I passed on him. Wasn't sure if the door just wasn't shut right when it got packaged.

Based upon teh new wave soon to be released they look like theyare getting better slowly. Despite the majority of opinions that ive read onlone...these things are moving.

Guess the Brand names will do that for you .

Personally...i wasnt allthat moved by them when i saw them personally (save the General Grievous..ironically the one most people LOATHE) but anything that comes with a tiny little man that fits inside of things is ok in my book.... :shifty:
