"She may not look like much, but she's got it where it counts," is just another way of saying "more than meets the eye." Here's a closer look of at the Star Wars Transformers version of the classic Millennium Falcon. The souped up star freighter transforms ship into two robots: mechanized versions of Han Solo and Chewbacca. This Deluxe toy features Han and Chewie pilot mini-figures, launching projectiles, electronic lights and sounds and a few more surprises. It will be available this summer from Hasbro.
Although I'm a fairly obsessive Transfan, I still don't like the idea of Han and Chewie combining to form one spaceship. Think-- if you were a Transformer, would you want your vehicle mode to be immobile (Han) or without sensors or weapons (Chewie) by itself?
Why didn't they just have our favorite smugglers transform into two separate vehicles-- Han into the Falcon, and Chewie into-- I don't know-- a Wookiee flying catamaran? They can even have both Transformers combine to form a super robot. But don't make combination a requirement for transformation-- that leaves a Transformer too vulnerable in one of his/her modes.
Those gun nuts do not understand the meaning of "overkill," and will simply use weapon after weapon of mass destruction (WMD) until the monster is dead, or until they run out of weapons.
They have more WMD than there are monsters for us to fight. (More insanity here.)
Random contributor: Hey, how about we have a Han and Chewie figure with both of them turning into two pieces for the Millienium Falcon! That way, they'll have to shell out twice the price just to have the Falcon.

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."
Han and Chewbacca as both associated with the Falcon. Both characters are more wifely recognized by a single vehicle. Making Chewbacca a random Wookie vehicle.

I swear this makes me want to smack you. You have no goddamn perspective as a normal human being on this subject. Honestly, what the fuck? If I was a Transformer I'd step on you for trying to meddle in the affairs of my race.

We'll have to wait until the figure becomes available at the local toystore to see if collectors-- myself included-- have to pay twice to get the Millenium Falcon. But if I was a Hasbro exec, I'd probably take an idea from 'Transformers: Energon' and market a Han and Chewie who can superlink into a super robot to sell more 'Star Wars Transformers'.

What the [hell is up with this new 'Star Wars Transformers' design]? Did Hasbro run out of plastic or something[, forcing them to prevent the designers of 'Star Wars Transformers' toys from making Han and Chewie transform into separate vehicles]?

That's asinine. It doesn't take any less plastic to make two seperate figures than a couple of combiners- in fact, it probably takes more.

From an SoD perspective, it makes little sense to have two seperate imobile robots forming into one vehicle, yet remaining two robots.
A gestalt would have been more 'realistic'. Of course i'm a perfectionist so dont let my obsessive compulsive disorder hamper your enjoyment of the action figures.
Did they ever make a decent transforming Droid Fighter?
fun/fantasy movies existed before the overrated Star Wars came out. What made it seem 'less dark' was the sheer goofy aspect of it: two robots modeled on Laurel & Hardy, and a smartass outlaw with bigfoot co-pilot and their hotrod pizza-shaped ship, and they were sucked aboard a giant Disco Ball. -adw1

I'm sorry, there's a part of me that just -'s at the idea of people trying to stick Han and Chewie together like that...! Woah, invasion of privacy!
More seriously, these just kind of look stupid. If I liked Han, I wouldn't want to buy something that instead looked like a Han-toaster crossbreed.
"The rest of the poem plays upon that pun. On the contrary, says Catullus, although my verses are soft (molliculi ac parum pudici in line 8, reversing the play on words), they can arouse even limp old men. Should Furius and Aurelius have any remaining doubts about Catullus' virility, he offers to fuck them anally and orally to prove otherwise." - Catullus 16, Wikipedia
Yep, Han & Chewie are the next ambigiously gay duo (with overtones of bestiality, of course)!

Dammit, I was this close to being the first one to make a half-assed joke alluding at homosexual overtones regarding this toy. Damn you, Kurgan.. damn you!
.. And seriously, SoD? Since when were Han and Chewie robots? They're toys!

Done before. The G1 Micromaster Combiners series featured two miniture Transformers who linked up in alternate mode to make one large vehicle. You ended up with craptacular designs where one bot was the cockpit and air intakes of an SR-71 and the other bot was the engines and wings.
IIRC both bots were mobile and aware in alternate mode, even if you were the rear end and your alternate mode was something that, in the real world, would have no sensors or means of independent mobility.
I always felt bad for the rear guys, it's like being stuck as the ass of a horse costume.
I liked it better when they had a bunch of smaller robots form a larger one (Predicons, Constructicons, Voltron, etc) .

Star Wars Transformers would be a lot, LOT cooler if they were simply Transformers characters (new ones) that turned into the vehicles, instead of giant mechs that were supposed to resemble movie characters.
