Fiction
[edit]Star Wars Transformers

Toys
[edit]Star Wars Transformers
[edit]
- Darth Vader / Sith Starfighter (2006)
- Accessories: 2 lightsabers/missiles, Darth Vader figure
- Known designers: Brian Parrish (Hasbro)[1]
- Another incarnation of the Eta-2 mold, this one has been retooled and redecoed into Anakin's new persona as Darth Vader. It retains all of the same gimmicks as previous versions of the mold. The head is different from all other Vader Transformer molds, having a more stylized robotic look as opposed to the direct translation of the TIE Advanced mold. This ship features an inbuilt R4-K5 droid in place of the previous R2-D2. [2]
- This mold was also used to make Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Mace Windu.
- Darth Vader to Sith Starfighter (2011)
- Accessories: 2 lightsabers
- A retool of the smaller and simpler Jedi Starfighter mold with a new head, Darth Vader transforms into a Sith Starfighter for the second time. He retains the handle flip on his chest.
- Much like the larger versions, this mold was also retooled into Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi.
Notes
[edit]- As far as Transformers is concerned, a Sith Starfighter is merely a black redeco of a Jedi Starfighter. The vessel depicted in Star Wars Transformers fiction is based on one from an obscure Star Wars novel, but the actual Sith Starfighter from other Star Wars lore is nothing like this Sith Starfighter and not related to any Transformers franchise at all.
- Much like the "Space Whale" ARC-170 Clone pilot toy, the Sith Starfighter deco on an Eta-2 Class Jedi Starfighter was first released as the Star Wars Transformers toy months before it was released by Hasbro as an actual Star Wars vehicle in the 30th Anniversary Collection.
