Star Wars (event)
Star Wars is the catch-all banner for an intergalactic conflict between several factions of humanoid aliens and robots engaged in an intergalactic war.
Known factions include: Jedi, Sith, Rebel, Republic and Separatist.
Battle mechs
Many "star warriors" fight using Transformer-like battle mecha that change from vehicles to large combat robots. These mecha are piloted from within and are not apparently sentient beings like true Cybertronian Transformers. The pilots trigger their vehicle's transformation by summoning something called "The Force" or "the dark side." The nature of this mechanism is unclear, but we do know that vehicle-to-robot conversions are a "new technology" for them.
Rather unique to this conflict, many of the key figures in these Star Wars pilot clearly customized mecha whose robot modes are based closely on their own physical appearance. Based on the possible size of the star warriors relative to the average Transformer (see below), their transforming ships may be on a scale with massive city-bots like Fortress Maximus.
Size matters not?
Perhaps similar to the inhabitants of Femax, these fearsome beings, though in many cases strikingly human-like, might be of a gigantic stature, equaling the size of many Transformers. Rare images of star warriors battling against Transformers from the Unicron Trilogy have been uncovered, though the context is unclear. It has also been speculated that perhaps the Transformers themselves had been somehow reduced in stature for this conflict, or the star warriors' size similarly increased from their normal standard, but without further context, it is impossible to determine which holds true.
It remains unknown whether the star warriors are native to the Unicron Trilogy multiverse, or whether one group traveled to the other's universe, or if both sides traveled to a third dimension. Hopefully some day more information on this conflict and its other participants may come to light, though the inclusion of numerous Generation 1 multiverse Transformers in the conflict casts another odd light on the issue.
A pair of mechanoids similar to two droids that are known participants in the Star Wars have been seen in the Generation 1 multiverse at the Schaeffer Energy plant, suggesting either dimensional travel, or the existence of alternate universe analogues of at least some of the star warriors, or bloody amazing coincidence (actual scientific term). These droids appear to be of a Transformeresque stature, albeit on the "small" end of the spectrum, certainly not the size of the Unicron Trilogy's Megatron.
The tall golden droid (or robots that resemble him) has also been seen in the Generation 1 multiverse. One was a citizen of the Dead End of Cybertron, its appearance (and poor state of repair) recorded for posterity as Scrounge rolled through on one of his spy missions. It also bears a striking resemblance to the Chromite mechanical aliens.
