That is some real big packaging for this figure?

I hope to see him soon, I'm not into the StarWars line(any of them) but this figure I wouldn't mind having.

Awesome. It already looks like a much better toy than Unicron.

Armada/Energon Unicron is lame toy when you think of it. Not a perfect sphere like Primus and onlu flashing lights for electronics. It could have been much more than that.

looks like I was right about the figure coming with a cape...that improves the robot mode. I'll get it just to have three mounted planet-formers hanging from my ceiling...

now it would be cool if the tie fighters were minicons

Its shaped like a Battle Pack box

I thought it would of been in a box looking more the one Primus and Unicron came in

The line could end with this one and I would be perfectly happy. This one will definitely make it into my collection.

Yes, but Unicron looks GOOD in both modes none-the-less. (Also I hate most electronic gimmicks in tfs.)
He als has better articulation than Primus and is easier to pose.

Ive said it before, and I'll say it again, PASS.

Looks like ass, shouldnt be vader, epic fail.

Unnessasarily large pckaging, but I like the toy itself. The only Star Wars TF I'm getting.

Looks good. Can't wait to get him. Also looking forward to the AT-AT and the snow speeder.

I hate Unicron's floppy planet halves in robot mode, poor design. A growling Unicron would have rocked.

Shouldn't the Death Star turn into Grand Moff Tarkin?

Technically, yes, but how many do you think would sell if the Death Star transformed into a crusty old white guy versus transforming into Vader?

The obvious choice for selling it AND pleaseing fans would have been the Emperor. Hasbro didnt think of that one.

Posted by Jestermon on August 19th, 2007 @ 3:21pm CDT
I would have thought this would have been the emperor as well.

Darth Vader truly has surpassed his master, in retail appeal.

I can never get into these, I would rather just have play sets( I know sometimes they do not sell well) but these things warm the shelves as well, or and actual new version of the Death star this size with fighters and opening bays, shooting weapons, lights and such.

I just think that would be a better way to go with Star Wars, also these confuse the hell out of parents going shopping for Transformers or Star Wars, as well as stockers.

I have seen the mental breakdown on the isle many a time.

Posted by Steeleye on August 19th, 2007 @ 4:21pm CDT
I'm pleasantly suprised. That actually looks pretty good. Will wait for better photos of robot/Vader mode before final judgement but may pick one up.
I've been unimpressed by most of this line and the one figure (well and Arc 170 in blue) that I like has to be most expensive. My luck. "Sigh".

I actually am impressed, something that doesn't happen w/me & SWTF. This looks pretty awesome.

Vadar has been digging into the Beer and chips a bit hasnt he... Got a nice Beer gut going on there.

Im sure he is of comparable size to Primus and Unicron, but he just doesn't look it in that packaging.

looks worse then a dead cow!, sorroy I just think the death star sould be a million light years away from star wars!

Posted by Bigdaddymcqueen on August 19th, 2007 @ 5:57pm CDT
although i don't think its looks to bad, ever since the mixed the lines(transformers/star wars) i just can't get into it. maybe just cause i'm old school i do know. to each his own though!!

I don't understand what you don't like about it compared to say, Primus. Both have similarly good alternate mode, both are well articulated in robot mode and have similar kibble, yet, Primus has basic electrocs but the cool key-activated transformation while Vader has better electronics and even more playability with all the little compartments and stuff. Is it only the head that bothers you? Is that enough to call a toy crap? I don't think so.

Im not a fan of the charecter choice for a start, and I just feel that (from the picks I've seen) it looks like it has all the hallmark design features that have mared the rest of the line.

I think his alt mode is awesome - lots of playability, with a FIRING CANNON!!! And TIE fighters and all - awesome!!
Re: New In Package Images of Star Wars Transformers Death Star Darth Vader (295271)
Posted by Craven Knight on August 20th, 2007 @ 6:29am CDT
I think the Starwars TFs suck but this I like, a sphereical(sp?) alt mode and a nice big detailed robot - cool.

I shall buy one in the Chrismas sales and sit him next to Primus... what a nice pair of balls they'll make :-?

Everytime I see it it will allways remind me of Prowler974's art work from a few years ago

The Hans Solo/Chewbacca set pretty much tops all Cybertron toys except Primus in my book.

I dig it. I only have the Han/Chewie MF, and I like that. As robots, their kinda clunky and hard to pose, but I like it none-the-less. I'm not a huge fan of the line, but I am going to snatch up a Mace Windu as soon as it hits clearance. I mean, come on, it's Samuel L Jackson for Christ's sake!
