- Accessories: Emperor Palpatine figure, wings (left & right), tail fin/shield, missile launcher, lightsaber/missile
- Known designers: Brian Parrish (Hasbro),[1] Marcelo Matere (packaging artist)
- Emperor Palpatine's vehicle transforms from an Imperial Shuttle to a giant mech in his image.

His wings detach from his shoulders and reattach on his waist to emulate the character's cloak.

Crossovers
[edit]
- Emperor Palpatine to Imperial Shuttle (2008)
- Accessories: Wings (left & right), tail fin/shield, missile launcher, lightsaber/missile
- A black redeco of the earlier toy, designed to better resemble Palpatine himself when in robot mode.

This version was released at the tail end of the initial Star Wars Crossovers line, shortly before the line was rebranded to bring focus to the Clone Wars animated film and TV series. As a result, it saw incredibly poor distribution.
