| Four all-new sculpts are planned for later this Fall. We are going to be revealing all of them (and possibly more) at Comic Con, but we'll give you a little taste of our September wave: General Grievous/Grievous Starfighter, and Tie Pilot/TIE Bomber. |
Smokescreen38:
How is it that these designers have seemingly made no progress since wave 1? They are as crude as ever.
Basically, more ham-fisted designs...but still fairly cool.
Thanks for the link.
Beastbot X:
Grevious looks a bit dissapointing-- another SWTF that has waaay too much kibble, at least it appears so from that shot.
The TIE Bomber looks fantastic, though, particularly in robot mode. Whee!
Ravenxl7:
Cool. The Gen. Grevious one actually looks cool. Would definetly make for some good kitbash fodder, though I'm not sure what TF character I would kitbash it as.
Dolza_Khyron:
well they're not that bad, but me personally i like the general better then the bomber, lol. bomber looks like he's staring up with his head tilted back. with a sad face, and teeth lol...
needs a new head.
Matrix Soul:
meh... easy pass
rattrap007:
Wow! Very nice on both.
Optimus747:
I can't believe they're still making these...
Pimpimus Prime:
I can't believe I'm saying this, but I really like the Tie Bomber.
shibamura_prime:
The Grievous looks a lot better than the Wheel bike, but still nothing I'd buy. But the Tie Bomber looks like a winner.
Locke:
I want to see a few more pictures to figure out how the arms of the Tie Bomber work, but it looks pretty good.
Obvious Prime: Quote:

I know. Me too.
Noisemaze:
HOLY %&$^ that TIE Bomber is fricken AWESOME! I love both modes. The robot looks so evil with the red eyes. The TIE Bomber is my favorite ship from Star Wars, always has been. I'm really looking forward to that one.
I can see an army of those sorta like Mass Production Type Noisemaze from Cybertron/Galaxy Force. I'm definitely gonna buy a few of'em.
Gears:
Both look cool, especially the Bomber.
Prisoner1138:
The bomber looks pretty cool, the grievous figure... wtf. He's almost totally covered in alt mode panels while he's in bot mode. I won't be buying either, but that bomber still looks cool tho.
xZAOx:
Bomber looks good. One of the best robot modes this line has done so far, I think.
Grievous is miserable looking, in the "please someone kill me" way.

Agreed. I'll hold out some hope that the kibble can be positioned better in order to emulate his cape.
TIE Bomber is WIN, though!
NGW:
Bomber looks awesome.
Grievous looks terrible though.
Dinobot Nuva:
Anybody who says these are the same crap as the originals duhn know what they be yacking 'bout. These are SOO much better than what we've gotten before. Hell, I may just buy both of 'em this round!
DN
SmokescreenGT:
Amazing. Those actually aren't half bad. I really like the tie bomber and the Grievous Starfighter is a definite improvement over the original wheel bike. I might get these. Maybe.
jazz4ever:
the grevius one is good except the star wars TFs are cheap plastic but might have to pick the grevius one up maybe
KA:
tie bomber looks decent.
Smasher:
The TIE Bomber is the best SWTF yet -but that just means it doesn't completely suck.
SMOG:
I like the TIE Bomber quite a bit... I'll bet it's the same designer that did the Turbo Tank. They both have a blocky style with longer limbed proportions than most of the other SWTFs. I approve.
I'm kind of iffy on the General though... looks like more of the same weak material from the earlier waves to me. Maybe once we get more anglse on him.
Could he be kitbashed into a Blurr?
zmog
Laser_Optimus:
Wow. The Tie Bomber actually looks pretty cool... I can't believe I just said that...
Darkravager:
That Tie Bomber is really nice. I'll probably pick that one up. I hope that the arm holding the gun has elbow articulation. It looks like it was just backwards.
Man, I still need to get the Snowspeeder.

looks like an elbow to me, and arm rotation as well. I see he also has lower leg articulation too.
Feralstorm:
The TIE bomber don't look half bad, but I'm past SWTFs for the most part. I can't bring myself to buy even the ones that look good, as I've been burned too many times. The Darth Star is the only SWTF that hasn't disappointed me.
Lumpy:
well, maybe i'll sell my grevious wheel bike and buy this one instead...
Frognal:
Grievous looks terrible, the wheelbike version craps all over it (even with the QC problems). The bomber isn't too bad, but it looks like he has the same problem as Cybertron Scourge (ie. the fist is lined up horizontally to the elbow instead of vertically).
BigRC83:
Yet more STAR WARS Transformers I will not purchase.
Otispq:
Well I like them and will gladly add them to my SWTF collection!
Ashstar:
Tie Bomber looks alright but Grievous... when would Hasbro give us a SWTF Grievous with FOUR arms dammit!
Me thinks the character's shafted enough already with exploding body action and "Grievous on fire" as gimmicks for his figs...
Depthcharge:
I've felt burned by every one of the Star Wars TFs that I've purchased to date, except the Darth Star, but that Tie-Bomber looks pretty nifty even if it does look like its robot arms are jointed all weird (hopefully just mistransformed). I'm going to have to give that one a go. It beats yet another recolor of the Ep3 Jedi Starfighter.... what are they on now, 8?
IronicHide:
Mmmmm. Tie Fighter looks the shizzle.
Quite a Classiverse Onslaught vibe going on.
Locustreign:
I hate SWTF
non-supported statements ftw!!!

Couldn't agree more. Grevious looks terrible. Tie Bomber looks ok. What's the deal with making the hands palm-up on these toys? It makes them harder to pose with their guns!

GUIGUI:
The Tie Bomber look very cool. Grievious tough is better in his wheelbike mode

What? Never get the Millenium falcon? It's the best of the SWTF line.
Eric:
Grievous looks like shit. But TIE Bomber...actually looks good!
WTF2005:
Tie bomber = hawt

Jeez I hope not!
But I am kind of partial to the Death Star.
Anti Spark:
The only Positive use I see in these Crossover lines is KIT BASHING Potential.
Grimlock_13:
Might pick up the Bomber if I have the extra cash.
Takeshi357:
Yeah, Death Star is awesome.
Acid Wing:
Really diggin' the Tie-Bomber mech, but not feeling the new Grievous mold.
Soundwave84:
wow these suck!
Radioactive Ravage:
The Bomber looks like a perfect stooge mold. I don't know why...
Cruellock:
Grievous looks incredibly plain looking in bot mode.
Mutt12:
Not a big fan of SWTF's, but there's one or two that I really like. Like Darth Maul, Death Star Vader, Commander Cody, and now the Tie Bomber. That freakin rocks!
Drive-By:
The TIE Bomber is the first and probably only SWTF that I will purchase.
airfox:
Wow! Amazing designs. Sure buy for me, both of them.
Even Grievous (the weaker of the two) looks amazing ... even in bot mode.

I agree. Then again, I still haven't found neither Commander Cody/Turbo Tank nor Darth Star.
