Big Bad Toy Store has given us a look at Class I Series 01 Star Wars Transformers. These look to be smaller than standard Star Wars Transformers figures. There are three figures in this series. They consist of:
- General Grievous to Grievous' Starfighter
- Obi-Wan Kenobi to Jedi Starfighter
- Anakin Skywalker to Jedi Starfighter
Check out both robot modes and vehicle modes below.
We also get a look at Star Wars Transformers 2011 Class III Series 01 - Darth Vader/Anakin Skywalker to Star Destroyer/RAC

Wow those are pretty bad, Obi-Wan isnt to bad but compared to past star war transformers its crap. They either need to star putting a little more time and effort into the crossover lines or just stop doing them altogether.

For smaller sized figure they don't look that bad though a little simple compared to the normal TF. It's nice that they'll be available in a smaller size though. I wonder if Marvel Crossovers of this size will follow.

This line has had a few worthwhile molds like the Magnaguard ship and Cody's Turbotank, but these guys look like they're devolving into Happy Meal toys. Even if they too show up at Marshall's for half price, easy pass.

THat Obi-Wan doesn't look too bad. Will hold off on Darth Vader until we get some decent pics with poseability and what not...
..but OMG. Can I just mention that I absolutely HATE The Clone Wars cartoon for what it has done to these figs? They were halfways decent at the start; now since they are just trying to make cartoony figures, they just look dumb. Show me a good super-Star Destroyer fig that turns into the emperor or Admiral Piett...Leader class size.
I also hate Anakin Skywalker.

GAY IMHO The older ones kicked the crap out of these! I've got a few, Including the space ship greivous, mellenium Falcon, obi-wan, a clone that turned into a tri-wing,1 and clone cammander cody. Those were good. These on the other hand, are just worrying. honestely, if we ever get a G.I.JOE Crossover, it had better not grow from this...

Lethal Farce has posted an official image of Hasbro's Star Wars/Transformers 2011 Class III Series 01 quadchanger. The figure features four unique modes: Anakin Skywalker, Darth Vader, Republic Attack Cruiser, and Star Destroyer. According to their post the figure will retail for approximately $130.00, but that does not jive with the
pre-order on BigBadToyStore which is listed at $44.99. They do agree on the release date of July. The official image revealing all four modes is mirrored below.

The Vader form at least makes for an interesting robot mode.
I might even have considered getting it if they had left out the Anakin form and its required kibble.

If anyone wants a closer look there is a large image
here.
It seems these are about as shellformer as you can get. Anakin's shield is basically the star destroyer!

Still need larger pictures to decide for sure, but it doesn't look too bad considering the limitations put on it...and the harsh reality that kids seem to be hooked on all things Anakin Skywalker right now. I get the impression that Star Wars fans are having the same issues with Anakin and Asoka right now that we TF fans are having with the over saturation of Bumblebee and Prime figs.

Yeah, 'The Clone Wars' may have simplified the Transformers, but at least the series itself is awesome! (And if you don't want them, don't get them! Haha) I'm not that keen on the new-look Grievous/Obi-Wan/Anakin as I was on the previous figures (which I have anyway)...And yes, I am a Star Wars fan first!
Still, I'm really liking the quad-changer, especially the difference between the two Star Destroyers!
The only drawback so far is that Anakin looks a bit too much like Pre Vizsla...Otehr than that..."Impressive; most impressive!"

The Quad Changer is actually really rather nice. Its a shame its a Star Wars figure, really - something that mad would've been great in Classics.
Something similar where Optimus Prime transformed into Rodimus Prime. Megatron into Galvatron or even Orion Pax into Optimus Prime would be pretty cool.

$130 is the case price, $45 is just the one figure so BBTS has it right. Lethal Farce corrected their article.
Easy pass for me on these. I admit the Marvel crossovers are a guilty pleasure but I have no desire for any Star Wars crossover.

The thing that makes crossovers suck is the stupid heads. Totally ruins the figure. I mean, isnt the fact that it transforms into a star destroyer enough to be a great homage ??? Does it really need a stupid human head ??? Would be great if a 3rd party company made new heads to turn these figures into cool new characters. Until then they will collect dust in TJ Maxx and Ross or make great parts for kitbashers.
And for the record, I love star wars. I just dont like doll heads on robots.

Beating a dead horse, but to me what kills these things is have them transform into Star Wars characters. If they transformed for Star Wars vehicles into Transformers characters I would probably buy them all.

No thanks, I haven't bought a SW transformer yet, and never will.
Now if they made Jurassic Park transformers, I'd be all over them.
At least then they'd be Earth vehicles, and dinosaurs.

How to take the middle ground on this one...well, for a ship that becomes 2 different characters (sort of) this quad changer looks a lot better than the split-in-two Millennium Falcon.
And like the Vader Death Star, I guess this is nice for Star Wars collectors who've always wanted an Imperial Star Destroyer that's not too huge and not too close to Micro Machines. Assuming this is $40.00 in regular retail, SW fans who splurged on the enormous Lego version will probably consider this thing fleet-builder priced by comparison.

The Anakin form doesn't add any kibble.
The Anakin form is the same as the Vader form, only with a head flip, small panel slide and a slight leg extension. The shield is the nose of the destroyer, and Vader can also hold the shield. The nose of the ship would be necessary whether or not the Anakin form was included and since Vader can hold the shield it is very likely that the toy would be nearly identical without the Anakin head.
They even use the same light saber. Only Vader's light saber blade fits into the other end of the handle than the "Anakin-mode" light saber, and you have to add that ill-advised fire shaped red plastic to cover the blue blade.

They look like they are wearing knee high boots....kinky.
Not been a fan of the crossover toys and these do nothing to change my mind. I do like how they got the two different ships so well represented but Im wondering if you simply turn the whole thing upside down and fill in the gaps in the side with something.

Oh yeah, these suck like Hoover vaccum.

I was unclear, but I meant Anakin and his ship. I would prefer if this was just Vader <--> Star Destroyer.

I find this interesting as I don't know if Hasbro has ever done a Star Destroyer toy before. The scale is so off that it would be impossible to pull off for the action figures. This may be a reason to just get it and leave it in Star Destroyer mode for SW fans.
