Same. That is just the coolest integration feature I've seen.
Having gotten out the tape messure and compared sizes, I can say for certainly, its not the Blurr mold and its likely just borrowing ideas from the mold desgin as its pretty much a voyager in scale
I'm passing, I got very little interst in this figure and one has to wonder if this might not just end up sitting on shelves in stores across the US gathering dust as interst in Star Wars has fallen to all time lows due to a bunch of factors including bad management and bad story telling!
What makes you think this will even make it to store shelves at all? Most of these Collaborative figures are online-only.
The old Star Wars Crossovers range from "ok" to "awful," but it's not even like you could say "oh the early ones were bad but they got better as the line went on." No! The line was spitting out pure trash right up until the end! Remember that quadruple changer Vader/Anakin/Republic SD/Imperial SD? What the hug was that?
A toy voiced by Jon Bailey and Chad Vader, of course.
yeah, I actually likes the Death Star Vader, the Grevious wheel bike. and the Magna Guard. Some of the smaller scale ones were pretty good for their size, too.
The only collab I’ve ever seen make it to store is the X-Jet crossover.
Some of the old Star Wars Transformers were decent. They almost always felt like they needed one more pass through engineering, though.
The Marvel Transformers, too, for that matter. Aside from a couple like the Hulk Tank, they were okay to poor. And they really needed more villains. C'mon, a Doctor Doom would've been a perfect fit, and a slight color variant would've made for a good Doombot for troop building.

I've seen Ectotron and Party Wallop at Walmart and Target.
All because they were made by Hasbro alone, without any assistance from Takara.
I think my favourite of the old TF/SW that wasn’t the Death Star Vader, was the old Arc Trooper/Arc Fighter. Wish I still had them
The Cody/Turbo Tank looked pretty good too.

There's a common theme. Armored designs with helmets work better as Transformers.
IMO the Marvel ones benefitted by not being based on specific fictional vehicles.
A lot of Star Wars ships are just trickier. There was also less leeway that, say, actual airplanes get.
But yeah, "mech version of existing character" isn't really what a lot of us wanted. (It worked okay sometimes, but a new character X-Wing-- or even as a new form for Powerglide or Bumblebee or whoever-- probably would've been easier to accept.)

I've always thought that the small Obi Wan would be a good base for a Lithone custom:
And weren't they designed by Hasbro's Star Wars team rather then their Transformers team?
