It's also cool to note how different the transformations are between this new figure and the older original. Everything is entirely new, with apparently nothing really recycled from the first design.

Something that came to mind, that makes this set really impressive: Falcon mode has ZERO kibble top to bottom front to back, and the sheer amount of paint apps is mind blowing.D-Maximal_Primal wrote:This set looks incredible!!!

and now with Star Trek OMG why its illogical

I agree, the Falcon mode is 100% perfect in every wayshajaki wrote:Something that came to mind, that makes this set really impressive: Falcon mode has ZERO kibble top to bottom front to back, and the sheer amount of paint apps is mind blowing.D-Maximal_Primal wrote:This set looks incredible!!!

To me it seems to go together with Star Trek, since they go around exploring all types of different worlds they could eventually run into Cybertron, since Earth exists in both universes. Maybe it was contact with the Cybertronians that lead to the development of warp drive technology years before on Earth. A party from Cybertron looking for the Ark and the Autobots landed on Earth, made contact with the government, shared technology, couldn't find them, left to keep searching, and eventually Star Trek happened.
As for Star Wars, being from a long time ago in a galaxy far far away, perhaps in the golden age of Cybertron, when they were exploring different worlds, maybe they came in contact with the Star Wars galaxy. Shared their technology. Created a boom there. Some Transformers got in with the Jedi, others with the sith. Jedi and sith have a war that destroyed much of the Galaxy, using the Transformers technology to help them. Since the Transformers had been a peaceful race at this time, they left that galaxy for the most part. Some of the contingent stayed behind as robots in disguise, not yet willing to give up on them yet. They eventually meet up with the original trilogy heroes, revealing themselves and offering help to topple the empire, while others became corrupt from time spent with the Empire and now want to rule the Galaxy with them.

If you don't know what GPS is then type it into the search bar of the transformers wiki.

Unlikely, since GPS has been all but abolished for the last several years. Barring some other unforeseen structural issue with the plastic, there should be nothing to worry about!

Aha! We just assumed it was supposed to be Han because of the mini figure, but it's really Leia in her Boushh disguise, that would still explain the Chewbacca half, too.

You can check out the clip, shared with us by fellow Seibertronian Hellscream9999 and sourced from YouTube reviewer Baltmatrix, embedded below, showing the tiny minifigures included with the set, the vehicle mode and its accessories, transformation, robot modes, and size comparisons with mainline Transformers figures in a number of class sizes (from Deluxe to Leader). Check it out, and let us know what you think in the Energon Pub discussion boards!

But parsecs are units of distance, not time.
