Full article at http://x-entertainment.com/updates/entries/archives/00000749.html -- how much money DOES George Lucas need?
It's a match made in geek heaven. A marriage between Star Wars and Transformers. Two of the biggest perpetuators in keeping people from growing up, together at last. As Hasbro owns the rights to make toys for both franchises, they were free to commit to the most wonderful sacrilege ever by turning Darth Vader, Luke Skywalker and other classic Star Wars characters into robots in disguise.
It works like this: Take a Star Wars character who has strong affiliation with a certain Star Wars vehicle. Make said Star Wars character into an action figure than can be transformed into said vehicle. Now, I'm sure some of you are thinking that there's no way to do this without making both the figure and vehicle look really, really stupid. Put your fears to rest. Okay, they do look kinda stupid, but in all the right ways.
Crazy cool, non?
