Rebelscum has posted pictures of the next two Star Wars Transformers. The Republic Gunship now comes with a Clone Wars paint job and an ARC trooper head. The new Obi-Wan Starfighter w/ Hyperspace Ring is a repaint of Saesee Tinn with a different head.

damn i was just coming to post this, obi wan looks cool

 

Cool, though for some reasin I think I've seen pictures of the Gunship before (or am I thinking of the other ship that had a similar paintjob for it's repaint?). The Obi-Wan Starfighter is definetly new to me. I might get him. It'll come down to an in person decision. I'm not sure how he would look, or what he would turn into, but, a Yoda SW TF would, imo, be awesome.

 

Yeah, ARC-170 already got the space whale paint job.

 

I was thinking the very same thing about the ARC and the Gunship. I guess that's good that at least two of these (and some of the better molds at that) have matching colors. For the five collectors out there.

I love that Starfighter mold, but I still want a Mace Windu version. As much as I want a Samuel L. Jackson TF, I can't stand the other Jedi ship mold.

 

I like that when they do repaints of this line, they remold the heads as well. Except, of coruse, in the case of Boba/ Jango Fett, where it was the same head for both characters.

-Tony!

 

DAMN IT.

I bought the gunship thinking for sure they wouldn't repaint two different figures with the same paintjob.

 

I was going to say that because of this new Obi-Wan the chances of a Kit Fisto don't look good. Then I remembered that the Episode III Starfighter was released four times.

I like the deco on the Gunship, but I still don't like the long torso on the robot.

 

This is the line that needed to get canceled, not the 6-inch Titanium. Only SWTF I have is the Turbo Tank. I saw the pics of these and didn't really see anything different. They practically look like the rest of them.

 

Very nice paint jobs on both, better than the originals'. And Obi-Wan's head looks considerably better than it did on the other Jedi Starfighter mold. Still, though I like SWTFs enough to buy each mold once, I shy away from repaints in this line. (Gotta draw the line somewhere, after all, with all the TF product coming out...)

 

Might get the Obie.

 

Yippee, more repaints.

 

Sweet! I have been waiting for a redeco of the Hyperspace ring Starfighter! It is my favorate SWTF by far.

 

I'm definitely getting both of these. Does any Star Wars fan know what makes this clone pilot different from the previous clone pilot as far as Star Wars lore is concerned? I would like to differentiate them with something other than with mouth and regular. They are both LAAT Republic Gunships and both clone pilots, but I assume that the different paint jobs mean something. Thanks in advance for your help.

 

Fraggity frag, might get both, even though I have already have the Clone Gunship mold.

 

oh thank Primus, I had almost given up hope that the drop ship would get this paint scheme. thereby allowing me to get it for $10 instead of the $25 Titanium.

 

Obi Wan looks a HELL of a lot better than the original Ep3 fighter...
Still not feeling either mold though, my clone completist little brother on the other hand'll probably pick up the gunship anyway. You win this round Hasbro...
DN

 

They shouldve used that mold for Kit Fisto, not Obiwon. Will buy though

 

The paint for Obi looks way better imo.
