:''Y-wings are starships from the ''[[Star Wars (franchise)|Star Wars]]'' universe.''

'''Y-wings''' are bomber spacecraft used by the [[Galactic Republic]] in the battle against the [[Confederacy]]. The ships are equipped with missiles and the ability to transform into [[mech]]s, and are known to be piloted by [[Clone Pilot]]s and [[Darth Vader|Anakin Skywalker]].

The name of the Y-wings seems to be derived from them being roughly Y-shaped, and they likely have some relation to [[X-wing Fighter|X-wings]] and [[V-wing Starfighter|V-wings]].

:The Y-wing toy transforms from a white and yellow starship to a robot mode based on a Clone Pilot. This version of the Y-wing pilot is a smaller size class (Similar to the Cyberverse Commander Class). He comes with a large blaster rifle. He features a panel on his underside (one that is similar to the ones found on class III Darth Vader/Anakin's turbine cannons) which flips up to act as a handle for class III figures to hold him in ship mode as a weapon( though it ends up just looking like he's just holding a starfighter).

:''Clone pilots are mass-produced [[Galactic Republic|Republic]] and [[Empire|Imperial]] soldiers in [[Star Wars]].''
[[Image:Crossovers_CloneGunship_cardart.jpg|thumb|right|300px|]]

The '''clone pilots''' are (part of) the Republic's most elite military force, accompanied by their grounded cousins, the [[clone trooper]]s. They are key combatants in a large-scale military conflict known as the [[Clone Wars]]. War being a great motivation for technological innovation by [[human]]s, "morphing" is developed during the Clone Wars.<ref>Star Wars Transformers Clone Pilot ARC-170 Starfighter package</ref> This is the local term for the heretofore-unknown technology of [[transformation]], which at this time is known to be used by the Army of the Republic for four types of machines: their ARC-170 starfighters, airborne Gunships, V-19 Torrent Starfighters and [[Y-wing]]s.

They also pilot non-transforming vehicles. It is unknown if these are exclusively older weapons systems or if single-mode vehicles continue to have an irreplaceable role in combat.

Who are they cloned from? For some reason, we're not being told.

==Fiction==
===''Star Wars Transformers''===
Their Republic Gunships were in use during the battle of [[Geonosis]], blasting the [[Separatist]] forces with their armament of missiles. A clone pilot could land in the middle of a fierce battle between [[battle droid|enemy droids]] and clone troopers and convert the gunship into a heavily armed combat mecha that went straight for droids.<ref>''Star Wars Transformers'' Clone Pilot Republic Gunship package</ref> As the Clone Wars went on, clone pilots and their powerful transforming vehicles were present in many battles, including an attack on [[Muunilinst]].<ref>''Star Wars Transformers'' Clone Pilot Republic Gunship package (blue redeco version)</ref>

At some point, the clone pilots joined the [[Empire]], and started hunting down [[Jedi]] loyalists.<ref>''Crossovers'' Clone Pilot to V-wing Starfighter package</ref>

*'''Clone Pilot/ARC-170 Starfighter''' (2006)
**''Accessories:'' 2 missile launchers, 2 missiles, Clone Pilot figure

:The first transforming clone pilot toy turns from a [[ARC-170 Starfighter]] into a battle robot with wings sticking off its body here and there. The fighter has two missile launchers hanging off its wings that become handheld weapons in robot mode. The toy comes with a tiny pilot mini-figure that can be seated inside the craft in both modes. His face is similar to Captain Jag

: The second ''Star Wars Transformers'' clone pilot toy transforms from a winged robot into a [[Republic Gunship]]. Like the ARC-170, it's armed with twin missile launchers in both modes and comes with a little pilot. The toy's head is sculpted from a shiny white plastic that doesn't mesh particularly well with the beige-ish color of the altmode.

**''Accessories:'' 2 missile launchers, 2 missiles

:The ''Star Wars Transformers'' "tigershark" version of the ARC-170 toy was repackaged for the ''[[Crossovers]]'' toyline. The only difference between the two releases is that this version lacks a clone pilot mini-figure.

{{-}}
*'''Clone Pilot/Republic Gunship''' (2009)
**''Accessories:'' 2 missile launchers, 2 missiles

:Most similar to the original deco of the Republic Gunship mold, this version features remolded side doors, closing the passenger compartment and deleting the two spherical gunner pods. The shoulders have been remolded to fill the gunner pod arm attaching sockets, and portray closed forward ship doors. This version also features distinct nose art of a [[wikia:starwars:Kowakian_monkey-lizard|Kowakian monkey-lizard]] wielding a bomb, identifying the vehicle mode as being the specific ship "[[wikia:starwars:Crumb_Bomber|Crumb Bomber]]." The Aurebesh lettering reads "Laugh This Off".

:Since the figure does not include a pilot minifigure, the cockpit glass has been molded in opaque blue to cover the empty pilot's chair. also Unlike the previous release there is no platform to connect other figures

:This version of the Republic Gunship mold was also used to make [[Wolffe|Clone Commander Wolffe]].

*'''Clone Pilot to V-wing Starfighter''' (2009)
**''Accessories:'' 2 missiles

:A black, white and grey [[redeco]] of the [[Shock Trooper]] toy, this clone sports a fairly simple transformation from robot to [[V-wing Starfighter]]. Its arms have an awkward amount of joints which make its posing difficult in some instances. The ship features two missile launchers with two-pronged missiles, which become the robot's lower arms. Its hands are blocked by spring backed discs that are stuck at first.

:This is the first clone pilot toy to represent the [[Empire]] rather than the Republic.

:The [[Y-wing]] toy transforms from a white and yellow starship to a robot mode based on a clone pilot, and features a firing two-pronged missile in its nose and flip-out landing gear. In robot mode, the nose detaches to form a handheld missile launcher. The figure can also use two identical white blaster pistols that store in holsters that can be seen on either of the clone pilot's thighs.

:While the front of the packaging only says "Y-wing Pilot", the bio on the back explains that this toy indeed represents a clone pilot.

:Unlike most Star Wars Transformers/Crossovers toys thus far, this mold (along with the Anakin Skywalker retool) does not feature an opening cockpit to fit a mini-figure.

:This mold was retooled into [[Darth Vader|Anakin Skywalker]].

*'''Y-wing Pilot to Y-wing''' (2011)
**''Accessories:'' Blaster Rifle

:The Y-wing toy transforms from a white and yellow starship to a robot mode based on a Clone Pilot. This version of the Y-wing pilot is a smaller size class (Similar to the Cyberverse Commander Class). He comes with a large blaster rifle. He features a panel on his underside (one that is similar to the ones found on class III Darth Vader/Anakin's turbine cannons) which flips up to act as a handle for class III figures to hold him in ship mode as a weapon( though it ends up just looking like he's just holding a starfighter).

==Notes==
* Within the ''Star Wars'' universe, the blue and white "space whale" deco was originally only seen on Republic Gunships. The ''Star Wars Transformers'' line marked the first time it was applied to ARC-170 fighters and clone trooper armor. It was, of course, only a matter of time before versions of each came out for the normal [[Hasbro]] ''Star Wars'' toy line. ''Transformers'' has added to the main ''Star Wars'' [[canon]]. Awesome.
* Yes. This [[Army-building|army builder]] has the most toys.

: ''Darth Vader is a [[human]] in [[Star Wars]].''

[[Image:VaderVsPrime.jpg|right|250px|thumb|"Does Darth Vader have to choke a bitch?" is always a rhetorical question.]]
'''Darth Vader''' was once a man named '''Anakin Skywalker''' who converted to the dark side. He is possessed of great power, cunning, and speed. Once he called [[Obi-Wan Kenobi]] "master" although the exact nature of that relationship (could such a powerful being have once been a Jedi's slave?) and how it ended remain a mystery. He's been a member of the [[Jedi]] himself, and has been called "the most gifted pilot in the galaxy". He flies a variety of ships, at some point even an odd spherical "[[Death Star]]", all of which can transform into a humanoid robot designed in his own image. Despite all the imposing weapons at his disposal, he is a very powerful man, one of the most powerful masters of the [[Force]], in his own right, known to fight [[Transformer|Cybertronians]] ''on foot''.

He is presumably related to the similarly named [[Luke Skywalker]] in some way.

== Fiction ==
===''Star Wars Transformers''===
As a Jedi, Anakin Skywalker fought on the side of the [[Galactic Republic]] during the [[Clone Wars]]. With his unrivalled piloting skills, control of the [[Force]] and a variety of transforming [[Jedi Starfighter]]s to choose from, he cleared some of the most challenging missions available without breaking a sweat.<ref>''Star Wars Transformers'' Anakin Skywalker Jedi Starfighter package</ref> At some point, Anakin ended up on [[Teth]] and found the ''[[Twilight (SW)|Twilight]]'', a freighter ship which he modified into another transforming mech.<ref>''Crossovers'' Anakin Skywalker to the ''Twilight'' package</ref> Using a [[Y-wing]], he later freed a number of hostages captured by [[Cad Bane]] on [[Coruscant]], then did battle with the bounty hunter.<ref>''Crossovers'' Cad Bane to the ''Xanadu Blood'' package</ref>

Shortly after being converted from his previous beliefs to the [[Sith]] faction, Darth Vader is given the task of crushing all resistance to the [[Palpatine|Emperor]] across the galaxy. Piloting his new, heavily modified Sith Starfighter and wielding dark power, he morphs his spacecraft into an imposing combat robot.<ref>''Star Wars Transformers'' Darth Vader Sith Starfighter package</ref>

Later, as a sinister Lord of the Sith, Darth Vader is on a mission to crush the Rebels and bring young [[Luke Skywalker]] before the Emperor. Vader combs the galaxy for Skywalker in his TIE Advanced Fighter, another spacecraft that can morph into a humanoid robot, destroying all Rebel ships, pirate fleets, and asteroids that get in his way.<ref>''Star Wars Transformers'' Darth Vader TIE Advanced Fighter package</ref>

Using his advanced TIE mecha once more, Vader participates in a shattering starship battle with his former master. Unable to best his opponent in giant robot combat Darth Vader is forced to fall back on his ship's vehicle mode's missile defenses. Giving us a true sense of their power, we learn that like [[Primus]] and [[Unicron]] before them, the conflict between these two powerful force users is enough to rock an entire galaxy.<ref>''Star Wars Transformers'' Darth Vader "Galactic Showdown" set</ref>

Darth Vader is also in command of the transforming [[Death Star]] battle station, which he uses in the battle against the [[Rebel Alliance]].<ref>''Star Wars Transformers'' Darth Vader Death Star package</ref>

These missiles become "[[lightsaber]]" melee weapons for the robot mode. One of the vehicle mode's solar panel arrays forms a "cape" for the robot mode, the other a large deflector shield. Like all ''Star Wars Transformers'' toys, it comes with a tiny mini-figure of its pilot that fits into the ship's cockpit.

*'''Darth Vader/Death Star''' (2007)
**''Accessories:'' Gun, missile, lightsaber, cape, 3 TIE Fighters, 3 Stormtrooper figures, Darth Vader figure
:The imposing, sole Supreme-class figure of the ''Star Wars Transformers'' toyline, this gigantic Darth Vader mech transforms into the planet-destroying [[Death Star]]. Featuring excellent [[Articulation]], it has ratchet joints at the shoulders, elbows, hips, and knees, with swivel joints taking up the remaining few. In both modes, it has a spring loaded missile launcher that fires a small, translucent green projectile. It also features lights and sounds, with several clips taken from the movie. In robot mode, it has a seriously gigantic light saber. Taped inside the package is a cloth cape which can be attached to the back of the figure in robot mode (be careful not to throw it away).

[[Image:SW DeathStar Vader details.jpg|left|100px|thumb|Darth Vader and his bitches—er, that is, Stormtroopers.]]
:Like all figures in the ''Star Wars Transformers'' line, it comes with a pilot figure of the character the toy depicts. Additionally, it comes with three more figures, all of which are generic [[Stormtrooper (SW)|Stormtroopers]]. Three [[TIE Fighter|TIE Fighters]] are also included, which also have a Mech Mode. Oddly, the instructions and description on the box refer to them as [[Mini-Con|Mini-Cons]]. In both modes, panels on the back open to reveal storage compartments for the pilots and TIE Fighters, while in Mech mode there are several smaller compartments on the legs and shoulders for the pilots.

:The instructions give no suggestion as to where to put the lightsaber in vehicle mode, though there is plenty of empty space inside. Additionally, the compartments on either side of the back seem at first barely large enough to accommodate more than one TIE at a time without disassembling the solar arrays, but it is actually possible to fit two of them as a whole in one case with some intelligent positioning.

: A redeco of the TIE Advanced Fighter in a light Imperial gray (as opposed to his original dark blue), this version of Vader was released in a Wal-Mart [[Exclusive]] two-pack with a redeco of the [[Obi-Wan Kenobi|Obi-Wan Kenobi Jedi Starfighter]]. The set did not change either mold, and both came with their original pilot mini-figures. The set saw poor distribution, and was primarily seen in west coast stores. The set was only available in Super Wal-mart locations.

Anakin once again comes with two lightsabers/missiles, this time fired from the thrusters on the starfighter's hyperdrive ring. Unlike the toys released under the ''Star Wars Transformers'' banner, this toy does not come with a tiny pilot figure.

:This version of the mold was retooled with new heads to make [[Ahsoka Tano]] and [[Kit Fisto]]'s Jedi Starfighters, while the original Saesee Tiin version was also used to make [[Obi-Wan Kenobi]] and [[Plo Koon]].

*'''Darth Vader to TIE Advanced X1 Starfighter''' (2009/2010)
**''Accessories:'' 2 lightsabers/missiles, 2 solar panels/shield & cape
:A repackaging of the very first transforming Darth Vader toy. While the toy is identical to the previous release, the mini-figure accessory was removed for this release.

:This toy was first made available under the ''Crossovers'' banner in 2009 in white and blue packaging, and later in the summer of 2010 in black and blue packaging.

[[Image:Crossovers-toy_AnakinTwilight.jpg|right|300px|thumb|And so the [[Lionbreast]] fell in love with the lamb.]]
*'''Anakin Skywalker to The ''Twilight''''' (2010)
**''Accessories'': Missile launcher, lightsaber/missile, small blaster

:This Anakin toy transforms from a robot with asymmetrical arms to the equally asymmetrical starship known as the ''[[Twilight (SW)|Twilight]]''. He comes with [[R2-D2]], who converts into the large engine pod on the left side of the starship. The figure's lightsaber doubles as a missile, which can be fired from a handheld launcher in robot mode, or from the starship's rooftop gun. The blaster at the end of the folding bottom wing can be used by Anakin as a handgun.

:Having been designed explicitly for the Star Wars Crossovers line, this mold does not feature an opening cockpit to fit a mini-figure, unlike many previous designs which were either carryovers or re-used from the Star Wars Transformers toyline.

{{-}}
[[Image:Crossovers-toy_AnakinY-wing.jpg|thumb|right|300px|]]
*'''Anakin Skywalker to Y-wing Bomber''' (2010)
**''Accessories'': Vehicle nose/gun, missile, lightsaber, 2x blaster pistols

:Anakin is a [[retool]] of the [[Y-wing|Y-wing Pilot]] toy with a new head and chestplate, transforming into a white and yellow Y-wing bomber. The nose of the craft can fire a two-pronged missile, and detaches to become a handheld gun in robot mode. The figure also carries a lightsaber and two small blaster pistols that fit into holster's on Anakin's hips. Early [[stock photo]]s didn't show Anakin's lightsaber, leading to the belief that the toy lacked one, but the weapon was present when the toy was eventually released. As the Y-wing mold wasn't designed with a lightsaber in mind, it has nowhere to store in vehicle mode.

*'''Anakin Skywalker to Jedi Starfighter''' (2010)
**''Accessories:'' Lightsaber

:This Anakin toy is the same as his 2008 Jedi Starfighter toy, except it has fewer accessories. Like the 2010 [[Obi-Wan Kenobi]] toy, Anakin doesn't come with his hyperdrive ring and has only one lightsaber. ''Un''like Obi-Wan, he retains the same head mold, hand molds and paint layout as the original toy.

*'''Anakin Skywalker to Jedi Starfighter''' (2011)
**''Accessories:'' 2 lightsabers

:Part of the first wave of a smaller, simpler class (similar to the [[Cyberverse]] Commander class) of ''Crossovers'' toys, this new Anakin mold again transforms into an Eta-2 Actis interceptor. Interestingly, the instructions neglect to mention that the figure has storage for its lightsabers. The sabers can clip on within 2 clips underneath the legs, which form the front sections of the ship. He features a panel on his chest (one that is similar to the ones found on class III Darth Vader/Anakin's turbine cannons) which flips up to act as a handle for class III figures to hold him in ship mode as a weapon( though it ends up just looking like he's just holding a starfighter).

:This mold was retooled into Obi-Wan Kenobi.

*'''Darth Vader to Star Destroyer''' (2011)
**''Accessories:'' 2 blue lightsabers, red lightsaber, 2 missiles, 2 hull halves

:This large toy has two robot modes and two vehicle modes, representing both of the character's distinct personas as Darth Vader and Anakin Skywalker. He transforms into both an Imperial Star Destroyer and a "Jedi Cruiser" (actually a Republic Attack Cruiser) and features firing missiles and electronic lights and sounds.

*'''Darth Vader to Sith Starfighter''' (2011)

[[Image:Crossovers-toy_Class1_AnakinStarfighter2.jpg|thumb|right|300px|]]
*'''Anakin Skywalker to Jedi Starfighter''' (2012)
**''Accessories:'' 2 lightsabers

:A retool of the smaller size class Obi-Wan Kenobi toy, Anakin transforms into a Delta-7B again. He features a simplified transformation and two blue lightsabers. The two lightsabers can be stored in small brackets within the rear flaps of his vehicle mode, however the blades of the sabers stick out straight forward to look like laser fire.He still retains the handle in his chest, just like the previous versions of the mold.

:This mold was also used to make [[Saesee Tiin]].

{{-}}
[[Image:Crossovers-toy_Class1_AnakinYwing.jpg|thumb|right|300px|]]
*'''Anakin Skywalker to Y-wing Fighter''' (2012)
**''Accessories:'' Lightsaber

:A retool of the smaller size class Y-wing Pilot toy, Anakin transforms into a Y-wing. He comes with a lightsaber instead of the original toy's rifle. He features a panel on his underside (one that is similar to the ones found on class III Darth Vader/Anakin's turbine cannons) which flips up to act as a handle for class III figures to hold him in ship mode as a weapon( though it ends up just looking like he's just holding a starfighter).

* The Darth Vader/Death Star Transformer was at one point going to be based around the incomplete second Death Star shown in ''Return of the Jedi'' and had a similarly incomplete robot mode with one shattered eye.<ref>Hasbro Design Sketchbook Volume 1 - 2008, p 12-13</ref> This was eschewed in favor of using the complete Death Star and robot mode. It is otherwise identical to the concept art.

'''Obi-Wan Kenobi''' is a fearless [[Jedi|Jedi Master]], fighting on the side of the [[Galactic Republic]] to defeat the evil [[Confederacy|Separatists]]! He is known to use the [[Force]] to transform his various [[Jedi Starfighter]]s into large robots. He is a bitter rival of both [[Grievous|General Grievous]] of the Separatists and [[Darth Vader]] of the [[Empire]], the latter of whom he was once the "master" of.

Some time later, Obi-Wan was on a mission to find and kill [[Grievous|General Grievous]], leader of the Separatist droids.

**''Accessories:'' 2 hyperdrive ring parts, 2 hyperdrive engines/missile launchers, 2 lightsabers/missiles, Obi-Wan figure

:A remolded redeco of [[Saesee Tiin]], this Obi-Wan transforms into a [[wikia:starwars:Delta-7_Aethersprite-class_light_interceptor|Delta-7 "Jedi Starfighter"]] complete with a [[wikia:starwars:Syluire-31_hyperspace_docking_ring|hyperspace ring]] with lightsaber missile launchers. It features a new head, though the lightsabers are simply repainted from Saesee and the mini pilot is repackaged from the first Obi-Wan Transformer. The figure does not feature the nifty flip-down battle-mask that Saesee had.

:This mold was also retooled to make [[Darth Vader|Anakin Skywalker]], [[Plo Koon]], [[Ahsoka Tano]] and [[Kit Fisto]]'s Jedi Starfighters.

*'''Obi-Wan Kenobi to Jedi Starfighter''' (2010)
**''Accessories:'' Lightsaber

:This Obi-Wan toy is a based on the Anakin Skywalker version of the Delta-7 Jedi Starfighter mold, which had it [[retool]]ed to place the astromech droid in the middle of the craft. His paint layout is similar, but different to that of his original Delta-7 version, and he has a new headsculpt based on Obi-Wan's appearance in the ''Clone Wars'' series. His hands are also newly molded to both be open (previous uses of the mold featured the left hand as a closed fist and the right in a "Force pose"). In addition, Obi-Wan does not come with the hyperspace ring included with all other uses of the mold, and thus his one lightsaber cannot be stored in vehicle mode. Unlike the other toys, it does not come with an Obi Wan figure.

*'''Obi-Wan Kenobi to Jedi Starfighter''' (2011)
**''Accessories:'' 2 lightsabers

:Part of the first wave of a smaller, simpler [[size class]] (Similar to the Cyberverse Commander class) of ''Crossovers'' toys, this Obi-Wan is a new mold which, like the 2010 version, transforms into a modified Delta-7 Jedi Starfighter. He features a simplified transformation and two blue lightsabers. The two lightsabers can be stored in small brackets within the rear flaps of his vehicle mode, however the blades of the sabers stick out straight forward to look like laser fire. He features a panel on his chest (one that is similar to the ones found on class III Darth Vader/Anakin's turbine cannons) which flips up to act as a handle for class III figures to hold him in ship mode as a weapon( though it ends up just looking like he's just holding a starfighter).

:This mold was retooled into Anakin Skywalker and Saesee Tiin.

**''Accessories:'' 2 lightsabers

:A retool of the first smaller class Anakin Skywalker toy, this new Obi-Wan again transforms into an Eta-2 Actis interceptor. He comes with two lightsabers. He still features the weapon handle in his chest.

:This mold was also retooled into Darth Vader.

General Grievous

2012-02-07T20:48:43Z

65.183.136.205:

:''Grievous is a Separatist general in [[Star Wars]].''

[[Image:Generalgrievous-packageart1.jpg|right|300px|thumb|]]
General '''Grievous''' has trained in the art of lightsaber combat with the evil [[Dooku|Count Dooku]]. He is skilled in several unorthodox fighting techniques, such as a "furious four-[[lightsaber]] assault", and has used these skills to cut down several [[Jedi]] Knights. Now, Grievous changes into Wheel Bike mode to hunt and destroy [[Obi-Wan Kenobi]] and the remaining Jedi.<ref>''Star Wars Transformers'' General Grievous / Wheel Bike package</ref> He is the leader of the [[Confederacy of Independent Systems|Separatist]] army, which apparently has lots of [[battle droid|droids]].<ref>''Star Wars Transformers'' Obi-Wan Kenobi / Jedi Starfighter package</ref> We're repeatedly told that he's much-feared, and he is guarded by his personal bodyguards, the [[MagnaGuard]]s.<ref>''Crossovers'' MagnaGuard / MagnaGuard Starfighter package</ref>

He seems to be a raging religious bigot against Jedi. But what manner of being is this Grievous?

*'''General Grievous / Wheel Bike''' (2006)
**''Accessories:'' Missile, gun, 2 lightsabers (green & blue), General Grievous figure

:Grievous transforms into a [[Wheel Bike]], equipped with a laser cannon and a side-mounted cockpit. He can store his two lightsabers behind his back and between the half-wheel kibble.

:Like all the initial ''Star Wars'' toys, the toy includes a tiny figure of the actual character, who can sit in the pilot's seat to operate the vehicle form.

*'''General Grievous to Grievous Starfighter''' (Star Wars, 2008/2009)
**''Accessories:'' Missile, 2 lightsabers (green & blue)

:As the name suggests, this version of General Grievous transforms into [[Grievous Starfighter|his own starfighter]]. It comes with two lightsabers, one green and one blue, and a hand-held blaster with spring-loaded missile. The blaster doesn't fit in either of his hands very well, and it can't be stored anywhere while Grievous is in robot mode. While the arms and legs have excellent articulation, his waist is held in place due to the large amount of [[kibble]] connected at the waist locking into his back during transformation. His head can turn from side to side. Like all of the ''Crossovers'' figures, it does not come with a pilot mini-figure, but still has an opening cockpit with space for one, specifically the Grievous mini-figure from the previous mold of the character.

: This toy was first available in 2008 in blue and white packaging, and was later re-released in 2009 in new red and white packaging that also adds an apostrophe to the toy's name, making it "Grievous' Starfighter".

*'''General Grievous to Grievous' Starfighter''' (2011)

:Part of the first wave of a smaller, simpler class of ''Crossovers'' toys, this new Grievous mold also transforms into his personal starship. In starship mode, his landing gear are permanently extended. In robot mode, it features a simpler transformation and is the first transforming Grievous to have four arms, each armed with a retractable lightsaber. Due to his transformation, the arms share a common upper arm. Because of his retractable lightsaber gimmick, Grievous doesn't have real hands—only barely noticeable sculpted detail at the end of his arms. He features a panel on his chest (one that is similar to the ones found on class III Darth Vader/Anakin's turbine cannons) which flips up to act as a handle for class III figures to hold him in ship mode as a weapon( though it ends up just looking like he's just holding a starfighter).
