2. Any chance of seeing Droid based Star Wars Transformers, like an R2-D2 or C-3PO that convert into something?
Answer: It's a matter of size, character expression, and natural fit between the modes. First, R2-D2 and C-3PO are already robots (well, droids). Generally, Star Wars Transformers make sense in the film context with their character tying into vehicles with which they are associated and there aren't any good ties with the droids and vehicles that are compelling (other than perhaps R2-D2 and a Starfighter). In addition, while R2-D2 would be our first choice, a robot mode for him have to change his silhouette significantly and would not really deliver on R2 that we know and love. That's why the humanoid characters work the best.

It definitely makes more sense for Luke to use the Force to turn into an X-wing than for R2-D2 to transform into something. I take care of people who jump out of planes and kill foreigners for a living. I have the best job in the world.
Feedback here! Criminals are HOT.

I thought General Grevious was a droid and he has a SWTF toy. But he was a cyborg, kind of like Vader but with even more augmentation.
Take that, SW nerds.

Take that, SW nerds. | Well, DUH. When was the last time you saw a droid with asthma? (Yes, I know that it was Mace Windu in the clone wars cartoon who crushed his lungs with the force, but clone wars was so awesome I can't accept the two in the same continuity)
