Han Robo gets a lot of black on his legs and shoulders, suggesting his vest and dark pants. Though they both remain mostly white, a lot of color is pulled out of the ships to make them stand apart. The Star Wars Transformers are, again, not intended to look exactly like the character,īut rather to suggest them, and in that capacity both bots in this set work rather well. We won't try to explain the instructions - not with two separate robots to form - but you'll get the hang of it in no time. It almost sounds like it's breaking when it does finally come apart. The sliding panel that connects them does its job extremely well. It's actually a bit hard to get the two halves apart. The ship splits in half, with the front half changing into Han and the back becoming Chewbacca. And hey, they're both painted about as well as the average Star Wars figure.īefore you can transform the Millennium Falcon, you have to remove the radar dish, the guns and the cockpit. Both figures can fit in the cockpit (though tandem, rather than abreast) and Han can fly solo in the upper gunner's station.
The limbs are molded as a single piece, with a single bar runnning through the figure's hollow torso.
They're detailed about as well as you'd expect for figures of this size,and they move at the hips and shoulders - not individually, but as one. The scruffy-looking nerfherder is 1 1/4" tall, while the walking carpet is half an inch taller. To that end, this set includes tiny, tiny figures of Han and Chewie. She may be the fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy, but she still needs a crew to run her. This isn't some spit-polished Star Trek ship, that's for sure. The body of the ship is nearly white, but there are lots of complex paint apps to capture the look of the ship - silver and bronze highlights, various greys to bring out the detail and even scorch and exhaust marks on the surface. The radar dish rotates, the landing gear lowers, you can fire a missile from the port mandible and the load the weapons onto the gunner's stations. The Falcon is 9 1/2' long and about 7 1/4" wide, counting the offset cockpit. The mission of the Star Wars Transformers is to look like the vehicles first, and the characters second, so there are all sorts of technological details all over the surface.
The detailing on the ship is truly impressive. George Lucas has admitted, however, that the ship is really based on a hamburger and a pickle. It was a completely average ship, the white panel van of the Lucasverse, until Lando Calrissian won the ship in a card game and started making improvements. According to the Expanded Universe story, the ship that would one day be the Falcon was built by the Corellian Engineering Corporation as a standard YT-1300 model light freighter. They've got a little story and everything. Although she may not look like much of a threat, the Millennium Falcon sure does pack a solid one-two punch of speed and power! The Falcon suddenly splits into two heavily armed attack robots! The Imperial ship is rocked with a barrage of missile fire. Using a new modification technology, Han morphs the Falcon into mech mode as a Star Destroyer approaches. Han and Chewie are determined not to give up without a fight. Han Solo and his first mate, Chewbacca, have really done it this time! After making the Kessel Run in the Millennium Falcon in just under twelve parsecs, an Imperial spy on the Garrison Moon alerts the Empire to their presence.
