Hasbro have updated their online product catalog with some new Star Wars Crossovers. The Star Wars Transformers are still happening – what we’ve got here are the first reveal and images of two new Class 1 “Basic” Star Wars Crossovers, Darth Vader / Jedi Starfighter and Saesee Tiin / Jedi Starfighter. They are remolds of the earlier Anakin and Obi-Wan figures respectively, with new heads.
Also on this catalog update are official images of the Class 2 “Deluxe” figures Clone Commander Wolffe, Clone Captain Keeli and Battle Droid Commander.
Update: 2005 Boards member netkid informs us these are all available at retail now as well! Yay!

Below are some ideas I had suggested on here for Star Wars Transformers when they first debuted.
I'm glad to see that some of them have been used, but the way they were implemented "transformation wise" was not as I had imagined. Considering the battle droid,I think it's execution could have been much better.

That's pretty common…and funny because it's ALSO "Jedi Starfighter" on various toys. Hasbro isn't too bothered with the in-canon names of the vehicles. Makes it easier to market and sell to kids I suppose.

I still regret paying 20 Euros for Darth vader Tie advanced, the version without Vader figurine and not picking Generations Thrust
Hell at least I got Thrust later and my soul relaxed a bit
Sol Fury
Yup. Official pics are in our resources.

A basic class Y-wing?!

ah. and just to confuse things further, Hasbro called it a "Sith Starfighter" on the box

That Darth Vader is wack.
Transformers + Star Wars seemed like a dream come true to me, being my 2 most favoritest things in the whole wide world.
But… damn.

Got Yoda, Black Emperor or Jungle ATAT as those three never came out in the UK and i'd like to get them ?

Would be nice if they make a redeco of the Vader-Starfighter as an Imperial Pilot – i'm kind of surprised they never did that with the other version of the mould.
I would rather they keep making Episode 2 Starfighters of new Jedi than just keep reissuing Obiwan & Anakin.
There's at least another 3 worth doing possibly more.
Not to mention characters like Starkiller & Dash Rendar.
I hope they will make some Original trilogy Star Fighters when the 3D version come out. I really want an A & B wing SW:TF
I find it sort of interesting that Star Wars Transformers are now the single longest running Transformers Brand since Generation One they beat everything else Beast Wars, RID, Universe, they've been going longer than any other single post G1 Transformers brand. 2006-2011 is 5 years and it's sure to make it to 6 at least if it makes it past 2013 then it will probably have lasted longer than the American G1 run at that point 1984-1991 assuming Lucas is still making enough content to prop the brand up in term of media worthy of making into toy in 2012/2013.
Which is quite sobering really.

Because it's an Eta-2 Actis starfighter, which was used by the Jedi, but in the Clone Wars canon he kept his Eta-2 Actis into the early years of the Galactic Empire after the end of the Clone Wars.

I'll get every remold of that damn basic obiwan mold… it's my new seeker mold. I have plans for them.
RedAlert Rescue
These are all out I have a Commander Droid in front of me which I got on Thursday 01/09/2011- and even more shockingly i'm in the UK !
Seen Freeco speeder reissue/ The ATTE repaint the gunship and some others too. not the one I actually wanted though which is Yoda.
NCStarscream
I never liked the look of any of the larger Crossover figures, but thought the Class I Grievous looked cool and got it. It is a fun little figure. That Vader looks a bit intriguing, otherwise I'm still uninterested overall.
Omegatron
I have every release in that line until Clone Wars Obi Wan Kenobi…but with no original molds in site, I think I'm done for a while.

I can't believe how many times the Gunship has been redecoed. If it were a good mold, I'd understand it, but as it is, I can't believe it.

I just wish they would fix the Gunship mold so the arms would have more articulation.

There's the Clone Wars fan in me that keeps trying to get me to want Keeli and Wolffe because they're really cool characters, but the part of me that understands that $16 is not a good price for those figures always overrules.

I also saw these at Target. Meh.

The Darth Vader is out! YES! THIS is the one I wanted!

Man, I saw these at Walmart today (along with thundercats! WOO!) and they are TINY. They're only about the size of a Commander figure. They seem to be selling pretty well though.

When I saw the Anakin/Vader Republic Cruiser/Star Destroyer review, I declared I was done buying SWTF. But the deluxes are continuing. Even though the vehicles have been reused, I like the Clones and the Droid Commander. Time to put the hunting gear back on.
