Lieutenant Thire

Thire is a Republic clone from the Star Wars universe.

"It's not just a spaceship. It's a Transformer."

Lieutenant Thire is in command of a squad of Clone Troopers and a gigantic transforming Republic Attack Cruiser. Using these resources, he defends the planet Coruscant from airborne Confederacy droids.

Toys

Crossovers

• Lieutenant Thire to Republic Attack Cruiser (2010)
  • Accessories: Bridge/gun, missile

Thire transforms from a robot based on your typical Clone Trooper into a "Republic Attack Cruiser" starship (more specifically known as a Venator-class Star Destroyer). The ship has a large firing missile poking out of its bridge section, which detaches to form a handheld gun in robot mode.

Keeping canonical Star Wars scale in mind, it's a really freaking huge robot.

During the period between 26 December 2010 and 31 January 2011, Hasbro ran their "Supercharge Your Holidays" promotion: for every $20 spent on Hasbro-branded product, customers could receive a free, random product from a list provided by Hasbro. Among the items on the list was "Star Wars Transformers Crossovers". According to this discussion thread on Allspark.com, Lieutenant Thire to Republic Attack Cruiser was one of the figures distributed.

Notes

• Amazingly enough, for being one of the largest ships in Star Wars lore, the toy is surprisingly small compared to others in its size class. Wonder how that happened...
