my mistake
Decepticon vader is actually a TIE Advanced mk 1 in diguise. I'm guessing mr. Unlimited POWER!!!! is the DS-1 in disguise. so far no word on the autobot that transforms from a humble landspeeder into luke, or the Xwing, or the Falcon but there are 6 official Transformers/Starwars toys now.

Just checking, but is that parodying the war of the worlds artwork or were they both parodying something that had gone before?Sriad wrote:Actually, I'd have to suggest that this may be the coolest piece of Star Wars fan art ever.

You know the piece to which I was referring though, I assume? The painter must have been a Dali fan.Spanky The Dolphin wrote:It's a modification of an artwork by Salvador Dali.

Here's a detail view
If I knew the name of that painting I might find a better image .... but this should suffice for now.

It's called The Temptation Of Saint Anthony, from 1946.

And for the record, it isn't a painting but a photoshop job. They drew in the lightsabre over the cross and stretched the walkers over the horse and elephants.

Jebus, and they're actually sold? Wow.
I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a "more convenient season."

The reason these some appaling is because the manufactures commited one of the worst mistakes of all Transformers toys.. Focusing solely on the "Vehicle Mode" of the toy, sacrificing anything nice about the "body" mode.
Really, look at most of them, when they turn into "Body" mode, the vehical parts just kinda hang off of them, like they where glued on in a tack fasion.
Only Vader and Maul look decent at all, and even Maul is lacking in body Mode. Vader is bar far the best becaues, unlike the others, his vehical mode becomes part of his body. One side of the TIE panels turn into "wings" on his back, while the other becomes a "shield" Which looks rather nice on him.
The true sign of a perfect transformer is that, in body mode, it should be hard to tell what its vehical mode is. Think about that when you look at the above.

Sorry about that. As for DS-"tan", someone should turn Death Star (Decepticon) into a SW/Transformers cross. Either as a fusion...
HAN: I might not look like much, but I got it where it counts! (*BUZZ-CRUNCH* as Han transforms into the Millenium Falcon)
...or a crossover...
