I personally would have received them better if the Robot modes weren't meant to look like their pilots.

 

Although I'd probably wet myself if they do a Star Destroyer.

Ugly as sin and effective as a poking stick it may be, but those things have got some "I don't give a damn for effective design" class that I simply cannot ignore.

I wouldn't have 10 of them if they didnt look like their pilots. I think of them more like weapons platforms given a "human" appearance. Not as full blown battlemechs. Kinda like a motivational tool, so during battle one turns into its mech form and that rallies the troops...

I still say that they should do a line of Transformers characters that transform into Star Wars vehicles. A TIE-Fighter that transforms into a giant robot TIE-Fighter pilot would be silly. A TIE-Fighter that transforms into Starscream would kick ass.

It'd go with his long streak of failures.

 

Isn't the basic TIE fighter the red shirt of the Star Wars ship universe?
