Hasbro Star Wars Transformers – Gunship The Republic Gunship is ideal for battering dissembled squads of spindly Battle Droids with wide-swath incendiary rockets. Afterwards, once you take the hill, you break out the steaks and the barbeque pits. Still, in order to truly impress the competition, it?s best to have a Republic Gunship capable of transforming into a robot. In robot mode, the Republic Gunship features the distinctive Clone Trooper helmet design and a reconstitution of the cannons as dual handheld guns. Based in Repulsorlift technology, the Gunship features weapons such as mass-driver canons, anti-matter shower warheads and EMP rockets. There is no escape, if you?re one of the Droid infantry, as you look up suddenly, your optic receptors briefly registering the shape of your imminent doom. But true state of emergency has arrived only when the Gunship expectedly transforms into a gigantic Clone Trooper robot. And while a Clone Trooper Transformer would present little or no challenge to the likes of Megatron or Shockwave, the survival rate of the average Battle Droid would be approximate to that of a pimento loaf sandwich in Jabba?s throne room.
Customer Review: Interesting transformation
This Transformer starts as a Republic Gunship from the Star Wars prequel trilogy before turning into a clone pilot. Note that this Transformer has been released a few times with different paint jobs – the one I own has blue wings and a face painted on the front mirroring the Clone Wars cartoon series.
