Obi-Wan Kenobi was never a fan of flying, but he better get used to it because now he's actually a Jedi starfighter. The Jedi Master transforms into the Episode III fighter design, and comes equipped with a lightsaber and two missiles that actually launch.
General Grievous has sowed enough metal-crunching mayhem to earn him a spot among the Decepticon ranks. Now, the evil Separatist leader can transform from robot to ground-tearing wheel bike and back, armed with twin lightsabers and a firing missile launcher
When the Death Star menace became the Rebel Alliance's darkest hour, Luke Skywalker had the touch to defeat the massive battle station by trusting the Force in his speedy X-wing fighter. This Transformers-incarnation of Luke twists and turns into an Incom T-65, complete with lightsaber and four firing missiles.
This first wave of Star Wars Transformers is expected to hit store shelves in January 2006. Keep checking starwars.com as well as Hasbro's official site for more information about these and other exciting new products. May the Force be with you... till all are one.
2006 Hasbro Preview: Battle of Geonosis
Following the Battle of Carkoon and Battle of Hoth, the third wave of Hasbro's Star Wars 2006 Saga Collection figures features characters from the Battle of Geonosis.
Each figure comes with a base and a randomly-selected bonus hologram figure. EDITOR'S NOTE: OOOOO. AAAAAHHHH. They will be available at retailers everywhere starting in early 2006.
Sora Bulq. This fierce Weequay Jedi is part of the forces sent to Geonosis to save Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Padmé Amidala from execution. Thanks to his Jedi skills, he helps to ensure that the mission is successful.
Sun Fac. Sun Fac believes that Anakin and Padmé are guilty of treason, and so agrees that they should be put to death for their crimes. But the captives and their Jedi friends have other plans. Includes Geonosian blaster
C-3PO with Battle Droid Head. EDITOR'S NOTE: SEEING THIS TOY REMINDS ME OF THE FEW THINGS I REALLY DIDN'T ENJOY ABOUT AOTC. (MUCH AS EVERY BIG BATTLE SEQUENCE NEEDS A KNOCK-OFF LAUREL & HARDY ROUTINE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT....) R2-D2 is always getting C-3PO into trouble. Artoo pushes Threepio onto a conveyor belt at the massive droid factory on Geonosis, where his head is swapped with that of a battle droid. But Artoo makes it right by getting Threepio's proper head reattached.
Poggle the Lesser. EDITOR'S NOTE: POOR POGGLE. HE DIED NEVER GRADUATING TO BECOME POGGLE THE GREATER. OR EVEN POGGLE THE ALMOST THERE. This Geonosian sentences Anakin and Padmé to death for treason after they are caught trespassing in the Separatists' droid army factory. He orders their immediate execution, but little did he know that it would not go exactly as planned.
Jango Fett. EDITOR'S NOTE: CAUSE A GIRL JUST CAN'T HAVE TOO MANY JANGOS. (SOUNDS NAUGHTY, HUH?) Jango Fett is commissioned by Lord Tyranus to be the template for a massive droid army being built in secret on Kamino. His extensive career as a bounty hunter is put to an end at the Battle of Geonosis at the hands of Mace Windu, leaving his one unaltered clone Boba to carry on the family bounty hunter tradition. Includes grappling hook and removable helmet.
Scorch, Republic Commando. Scorch fights the droid army on Geonosis when the Republic's clone army is sent to rescue Anakin, Obi-Wan and Padmé. While he is a highly skilled explosives technician, accidents do happen -- such as the one in which he earned his nickname by scorching off his eyebrows! EDITOR'S NOTE: PROVING ONCE AGAIN THAT, HUNKY THOUGH THEY MIGHT BE, CLONES SHOULD PICK THE NAMES.
Yoda. Yoda leads the Republic's newly-discovered clone army to Geonosis to stop the execution. He fights to save his friends first in the arena and then in the dark hangar bay where Count Dooku has defeated Obi-Wan and Anakin. EDITOR'S NOTE: IS IT JUST ME, OR DOES THIS LOOK LIKE YODA IN HIS UNDIES? (JUST ME?)
AND FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVEN'T GOTTEN OUT TO BK YET, RUN! THE PROMOTIONS/GIVE-AWAYS ARE JUST ABOUT DONE, AND THESE TOYS AND WATCHES ABSOLUTELY ROCK!

More Than Meets the Eye: Star Wars Transformers
The power of the Force meets the power of the Allspark with a new assortment of Star Wars vehicles from Hasbro that are actually robots in disguise. Star Wars Transformers combine the classic characters and vehicles from a galaxy far, far away and transforms them into mighty mechs with seamless Star Wars alt-modes. This first wave of unique crossover toys includes four 'bots, with a mix of good and evil to wage shapeshifting battles among your other Star Wars or Transformer toys. Each figure also comes with a miniature pilot.
Darth Vader could give Megatron a run for his Energon when it comes to evil leadership, and he isn't likely to stomach dissention in his ranks -- Starscream would likely find himself the victim of a throat-crunching Force throttle. This mecha-fied Dark Lord transforms into his TIE Advanced x1 starfighter mode, and comes equipped with two lightsaber missiles that really fire.
Obi-Wan Kenobi was never a fan of flying, but he better get used to it because now he's actually a Jedi starfighter. The Jedi Master transforms into the Episode III fighter design, and comes equipped with a lightsaber and two missiles that actually launch.
General Grievous has sowed enough metal-crunching mayhem to earn him a spot among the Decepticon ranks. Now, the evil Separatist leader can transform from robot to ground-tearing wheel bike and back, armed with twin lightsabers and a firing missile launcher
