Accessories: 2 blue lightsabers, red lightsaber, 2 missiles, 2 hull halves, 2 thrusters/guns.

 

Known designers: Emiliano Santalucia (concept artist).

 

The sole 'Class III' toy released in the 2011 revival of Star Wars Transformers, the figure can change between Anakin Skywalker and Darth Vader personas via a rotating assembly in his abdomen. The ship can transform into both a Star Destroyer or a Republic Attack Cruiser (called a Jedi Cruiser on the box), however the toy is both a heavy shellformer AND a partformer as large chunks of one ship's shell need to be detached and reattached elsewhere to form the other or either robot mode.

 

The Vader and Anakin modes have distinct sounds, dialogue, and lights for each respective robot and starship mode, activated via a button on his belt, either missile launcher trigger on top of the Republic Cruiser mode bridge, or button in near the Star Destroyer bridge tower. His Darth Vader voice is provided by Matt Sloan (of Chad Vader fame) and his Anakin Skywalker voice is provided by Jon Bailey. He is EXTREMELY back-heavy in both robot modes, requiring his cape flap (which is also present in either robot mode, albeit in different shapes) to keep him upright. Bewilderingly, the robot mode feet are sculpted in such a way that the figure also leans backward by default on a flat surface. The thrusters of the Republic Cruiser mode are large cannons that his two blue lightsabers or Cruiser bridge missiles can be loaded into and fired as projectiles. The thrusters can either combine together and mount on the side of the robot arms or held individually via flip-down handles concealed in the ship panel detailing.

 

In Republic Cruiser mode, the ship's bridge can fire two projectiles from its front. These missiles can still be accessed in Star Destroyer mode, but they don't really make sense.

 

As an odd undocumented feature, concurrently released Class I Star Wars Transformers figures all have small tabs than can unfold on the underside of their alternate modes so that they can be held as some form of weapon by this larger figure, though it just looks like the larger figure is holding a starfighter-shaped pistol with lightsabers coming out of it.
