T-47 Snowspeeders are low-altitude aircraft predominantly used by the Rebel Alliance on the ice planet Hoth in defense of Echo Base.

Fiction

[edit]

Star Wars Transformers

[edit]

On Hoth, the Rebellion's Echo Base was under siege by Imperial AT-AT walkers. Luke Skywalker led the attack against the fearsome walkers with a modified T-47 Snowspeeder, which he could transform into a mighty attack robot through the power of the force. Using this robot, Skywalker could take on the AT-AT walkers toe-to-toe.

Toys

[edit]

Star Wars Transformers

[edit]
  • Luke Skywalker / Snowspeeder (2007)
    • Accessories: 2 missiles, 2 missile launchers, lightsaber, Luke Skywalker figure
Part of the final wave of Star Wars Transformers (before the line was merged into the Crossovers franchise), Luke Skywalker changes from a Snowspeeder into a robotic Luke Skywalker. The lightsaber is recolored from the X-Wing/Luke toy, and the two vehicle side cannons can detach to become huge handheld guns, each of which fires a projectile. Included is a new mold Luke pilot mini-figure which can be seated in the vehicle cockpit. The harpoon gun is non-removable, but can rotate 360 degrees in vehicle mode.
Mostly a shellformer, this figure only uses the cockpit of the vehicle in robot mode, storing the rest in a giant backpack. The vehicle mode was not designed with storage of the lightsaber in mind, though three opening panels in the underside reveal enough empty space underneath in which to slide the weapon.
In all stock photography of the toy his legs are not extended and backpack not quite folded away properly—he's supposed to be taller! Luke's shoulder articulation is also weirdly restricted, preventing his arms from sitting flush and only rotating backwards, not forwards. So good luck posing him with those massive guns of his.

Crossovers

[edit]
  • Snowspeeder to Luke Skywalker (2008)
    • Accessories: 2 missiles, 2 missile launchers, lightsaber
The above toy was repackaged for the Crossovers line, identical to the previous release but lacking the pilot mini-figure.
