    Shmax is reporting a picture on Taobao which shows a partial of a new Transformers Star Wars Crossover mold that looks interesting. I'm surprised I haven't read about this before. Anyone know anything about it? It seems like it is ready to be released!

    EDIT: The taobao page shows a pic of the full card ready to go!

    Oooooo... nice tank. Definitely a surprise. I don't recall seeing anything about new SWTF's in a long time other than news about the Yoda figure and that other one hitting shelves. But we've known about those for quite awhile.

    Still waiting on a Lando / Cloud Car.

    Making a robot out of that ship would be tricky.

    TWO robots, however... Lando and Lobot?

    I want a Padme Amidala and a Star Destroyer before this line ends, but I will get this one until then.

    Isn't that a repulsar tank seen at the end of episode III crossing a Bridge during order 66

    and this toy is the same thing too :

    http://www.galactictoys.co.uk/images/uploads/star wars hasbro/fighter tank.jpg

    I like it when they use Republic army colors as they suit the clone trooper alt modes very well too in terms of colors.

    There's a lego one too - I wonder if this a fair representation of scale :
    http://www.tabletownonline.com/images/blog/Republic_Clone_Army_Feb09_02.jpg

    I agree the Fighter Tank is a good choice - I hope that the Robot mode is more solid than some of them (i.e. AT TE - Rex) - perhaps there's something else new on the card back too ?

    -----------

    How about a Giant Eclipse Class Star Destroyer :

    http://eaw.heavengames.com/cpix/foc_units/eclipse.jpg

    Or a Large scale Turbo Tank or AT TE Transformer Supreme sized toy ? Vader deserves to not be the only big one they make and the Falcon the only mid scale one.

    Another size would be nice for the larger vehicles. as a Xmas toy again sometime.

    I can't find that page I was reading months ago it goes on about the tank I thought it was... but I might be thinking of the next size up as I remember it being squarer.

    So it looks like this is the lighter tank (From the videogames) and not the massive one seen on a bridge in Episode 3.


    [edit] found the one I was intially thinking of that is actually in Revenge of the Sith Movie :

    This looks cool. But that's always the case in vehicle form.

    With all the vehicles that haven't been created yet, as Crossovers, who knows when this line will end?

    I'm hoping for my characters from episodes 4-6. In one book set between eps 4 and 5 Princess Leia piloted a Y-Wing. Why not make that for instance?

    So, its awesome this line is still going, but how long has it been since we got anything from the original series? My ideas are a Speeder Bike to Leia. Or a Land Speeder to C-3PO. Im new to these forums. Has there been a discussion on other peoples ideas for new models?

    There's a Resources entry with the official robot mode pic.

    As for reviews, the figure has been released and I've managed to pick one up, but there doesn't seem to be a thread in the Feedback Forum. I'll personally say I really like him. He has a bulky feel to him that makes me think of him like the juggernaut of the team. :D
