The Humvee is so appropriate...

Red Venom is Carnage.

Red Venom as Carnage is lazy... I can see how they've tried to make Venom's robot mode bulky to match Venom's form. Ditto the choice of a muscle car. But Carnage is far lankier and slick looking compared to Venom and the muscle car/bulky robot doesn't seem to suit him as well. Being substantially larger than Spiderman he's probably not deserving of being a repaint of motorbike TF Spiderman... maybe just a regular sports car? *shruggles*



I wonder if the silver repaint of Iron Man will be War Machine. The grey Hulk variant is clever (not that I'd get it - I'm not really a Hulk fan, but I can appreciate it).

Getting a bit sick of all the marginal characters being used for making SWTF - we've had about 6 or 7 different mould and paint variations on stormtroopers/clone troopers, but we still don't have a Leia, C-3PO, R2-D2 or Yoda! Surely we could have a Leia/Speeder Bike? Admittedly, I'm unsure what they could use for Yoda and the droids though - there weren't really any vehicles associated with them.

Leia Organa/Tantive IV

Artoo Detoo/Escape Pod

I want Thor. Though I'm not all that much of a comic-person, I do like these. Plus, it's not like there's going to be any other toys of vehicles turning into Norse gods.

Unless they do a TF Loki. Hercules is also another Marvel Comic god they could do. If they ever did do a series of TFs crossed over with Norse gods - then I'd really like to see TF versions of Verðandi, Urðu and Skuld as a gestalt team with the merged gestalt robot called Yggdrasil.

Thor's one of my favourite characters ever but geez, i'm not feelin that at all. Captain America looks great though.

A giant robot tree? I don't think it's been done but I'd pay to see it.

I love the robot modes of Captain America and Thor, but I think they sacrifice their vehicle modes for it. Thor has to have one of the worst colour schemes I have seen in a long time in vehicle mode. Sure it looks great in Robot mode, it is a good representation of the character. It is just a shame they couldn't hide it better in the vehicle mode.

How would you like to pay me?

Leia Organa/Tantive IV

Artoo Detoo/Escape Pod

See Threepio/J-Type Naboo Star Skiff

I'd go for the Tantive IV, though I still prefer the speeder bike just as there is a more 'active' connection.

On the face, the escape pod/R2-D2 is obvious, and it did cross my mind, but the fact that it is something of a 'passive' (in the sense that it is not particularly piloted or controlled by Artoo and few or no others) vehicle led me to discount it. However, there aren't really any others, so I can happily pay that one.

Never thought of the Star Skiff for Threepio, though I probably didn't consider it since it comes from *that* trilogy, not the real one.

Leia as Tantive IV would be easier to execute without making her a shellformer as the colours are more similar to match. Bikes are always difficult and configuring a primarily brown speeder bike into a mostly green-camouflage robot wouldn't be easy. :/ They could do Leia as both the Tantive IV and the Speeder Bike (after all we have Luke as an X-Wing and Snowspeeder).
