No Droid SWTF to be Released

Hm... never thought of C3PO and R2D2 being released as Transformers.

Probably it's for the best that they're not turned into vehicles.

What would they turn into anyways?

Perhaps a Blockade Runner and then they could combine ala Chewie and Han...

Funny Transformers are Robots in disguise not people in disguise

Whatevah. SWTF sucks anyways.

Could this mark the end of the Star Wars line?

Even though they have the ships dead on, it's still an awkward line.

I've enjoied a handfull of the figures out of this line. No surprise really thay arn't going to do Droidformers.

They used the droids in Star Wars Micro Machines in the mid 90's. The ones where the heads turned into bases, like a storm trooper becoming a scene from the Death Star. C3PO had the cantina scene, I forgot what R2D2 became. I like the SWTFs. Have the Falcon and Vader. I can't think of what Threepio could turn into, but Artoo could open up and convert into a speeder or something. Maybe Yoda's hut?

Does this mean I can still hope for a Jabba The Hut TF that turns into his air barge?

They coulda done Artoo's mech turing into the escape pod he a 3PO were in, in episode 4. That won't change his shape much.

The Escape pod from the Tantive IV would make for a natural Artoo, and Luke's Landspeeder was piloted by Threepio in Episode IV. Both would be good fits, if you ask me...

All in all I give Hasbro credit for trying to combine the two...naturally anything to make a dollar, but they do sort of lend to each other. I've said many times that they nail the vehicle modes: they HAVE to...as bad as TF fans are about the designs, Star Wars fans are a billion times worse. If they didn't get the vehicle mode perfect, SW fans wouldn't have bought the toys. With Transformers- with the exception of the Alternators line to an extent- Hasbro has some play with what the vehicle modes look like. I think that's why the movie figures couldn't be dead on: Hasbro could have gotten the bot modes but there's no way with current toy tech to get those bots into a vehicle mode even close to what they were in the movie. In a way the SWTF and TFM '07 toys were similar.

I still think they went about it wrong.

It would have been cool to have the SW vehicles turn into TF characters.

X-wings into Bluestreak, Smokescreen & prowl. A-Wings into the Lambros. Prime into the Falcon. Etc etc

Seekers as Imperial Shuttles. Rumble & Frenzy as TIEs. Megatron as a star destroyer!

All in all I liked a few of the SW TFs and there were a few more I didn't. The Turbo Tank is bada$$.

My thoughts exactly. Of course you need a Unicron who doesn't turn into a planet but a "moon".

eh, never been a fan of the SWTF line, I found it to be too much of a stretch. it's like witnessing Indiana Jones driving the Ecto-1 through the streets of India.
