Sith Starfighter

The Sith Starfighter is a type of starfighter from the Star Wars continuity.

The Sith Starfighter is a dark and twisted version of a Jedi Starfighter famously used by Darth Vader. This starfighter is one of several spacecraft that Vader can transform into a robotic mech in his own visage.

Fiction

As he was newly converted to the Sith, Darth Vader was tasked with crushing all those who oppose The Emperor. Piloting a new heavily modified Sith Starfighter which can convert into a powerful robot form, he can swiftly bring the fiercest planetary system to its knees.

If he were a REAL Transformer he would be called Nemesis Skywalker.

• Darth Vader Sith Starfighter (2006)
  • Accessories: 2 lightsabers/missiles, Darth Vader figure

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.

This mold was also used to make Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Mace Windu.

Crossovers

• 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

• As far as Transformers is concerned, a Sith Starfighter is merely a black repaint 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.
