Awesome

Battlefront does not do them justice. Dark Forces did though.

Unfortunately, they're still not pilotable giants robots. But still, bad pie.

Oh yeah Dark troopers. That's more of an exoskeletal suit though? To be honest, since Battlefronts portrayal of them being pansies, I kind of forgot all about them.

In not too long you will be able to make 1.1 transform into 1.2.

Ha ha. Very good.

I've actually just remembered they have Star Wars Transformers, with like TIE Advanced X1 transforming into a Darth Vader shaped Mecha, complete with Vader pilot. Same with Slave 1 for both Jango and Boba, Lambda class shuttle transforming into Emperor, Aethersprite into Obi Wan, etc etc.

They also have a Han and Chewie mech that not only transform, but they FRIGGIN' COMBINE into the Falcon! And there's an epic Death Star one that transforms. Bit Gurren Lagann.

But still. I dunno. Maybe I should develop my writing skills so much they get me to write a Star Wars book. Then I can include humanoid mechas. Muahahahahah!

The closest thing you get to a "Mecha" is the AT-PT. It's far smaller than the AT-ST and has jump jets according to some sources. Someone tried to model it for GC, but the project ran into the sand. Its laser cannons transform (OMG o.O !) enemy infantry into dead bodies.

Gundam-like things? I wish. Actually, I should look around for a Gundam mod, it probably be kickpie.

Obviously apart from the walkers in the Universe, I'm talking more humanoid shaped then bipedal walkers. I.e., like 'Mobile Suits' from the Gundam series.

Are there any? I haven't read enough EU to know, to be honest.

But the concept of one of the main characters saying 'It...it transformed!' or 'It's a Gundam!'...but I guess with a different name heheh.

Sorry...been watching ALOT of Gundam recently, just finished the new 00, and watching the old ZZ from the 80s. Seen about half of all Gundams now...

So if someone yells out their name, and what they're piloting, every 5 minutes in FS, ending with 'IKIMASU!' or 'DERU', you know it's me...
