An auction has been listed on Taobao for a new Star Wars Crossover toy. The new toy is a Clone Gunner, who converts into a Republic Fighter Tank. It’s an all new mold that we’d previously seen nothing about, and judging by its appearance in package, it may be hitting store shelves very soon! Check out the original auction by clicking on the link above, or alternatively our mirror of the image by clicking on the thumbnail at the left of this story.

There's a Resources entry with the official robot mode pic.
As for reviews, the figure has been released and I've managed to pick one up, but there doesn't seem to be a thread in the Feedback Forum. I'll personally say I really like him. He has a bulky feel to him that makes me think of him like the juggernaut of the team.

I was curious to know if any robot mode images are available of this yet or any reviews ?

So, its awesome this line is still going, but how long has it been since we got anything from the original series? My ideas are a Speeder Bike to Leia. Or a Land Speeder to C-3PO. Im new to these forums. Has there been a discussion on other peoples ideas for new models?

I'm hoping for my characters from episodes 4-6. In one book set between eps 4 and 5 Princess Leia piloted a Y-Wing. Why not make that for instance?

Only buying this one because of my recent Battlefront II binge.

This looks cool. But that's always the case in vehicle form.
With all the vehicles that haven't been created yet, as Crossovers, who knows when this line will end?

I can't find that page I was reading months ago it goes on about the tank I thought it was… but I might be thinking of the next size up as I remember it being squarer.
So it looks like this is the lighter tank (From the videogames) and not the massive one seen on a bridge in Episode 3.
[edit] found the one I was intially thinking of that is actually in Revenge of the Sith Movie :
Unstable Terrain Artillery Transport – Wookieepedia, the Star Wars Wiki
Rodimus-Power
Not bad

So it's this tank, from the books and video games?
TX-130 Saber-class fighter tank – Wookieepedia, the Star Wars Wiki

Isn't that a repulsar tank seen at the end of episode III crossing a Bridge during order 66
and this toy is the same thing too :

I like it when they use Republic army colors as they suit the clone trooper alt modes very well too in terms of colors.
There's a lego one too – I wonder if this a fair representation of scale :

I agree the Fighter Tank is a good choice – I hope that the Robot mode is more solid than some of them (i.e. AT TE – Rex) – perhaps there's something else new on the card back too ?

How about a Giant Eclipse Class Star Destroyer :

Or a Large scale Turbo Tank or AT TE Transformer Supreme sized toy ? Vader deserves to not be the only big one they make and the Falcon the only mid scale one.
Another size would be nice for the larger vehicles. as a Xmas toy again sometime.

Ooh. Not a bad choice!

I want a Padme Amidala and a Star Destroyer before this line ends, but I will get this one until then.
Lumpy
that looks totally awesome… i want it…
Jarodimus
Making a robot out of that ship would be tricky.
TWO robots, however… Lando and Lobot?
guard convoy
ah the clone wars tank, first learned about it when playing the battlefront games…..still probably won't get it because it will dissapoint me i know it….but bring on new marvel transformers, those are greatness
Bgrngod
Oooooo… nice tank. Definitely a surprise. I don't recall seeing anything about new SWTF's in a long time other than news about the Yoda figure and that other one hitting shelves. But we've known about those for quite awhile.
Still waiting on a Lando / Cloud Car.
Paxtin
Looks interesting. Would like to get a look at robot-mode though.
MegaHavok
Wow nice to see an actual surprise now and then. Great vehicle choice too

Shmax is reporting a picture on Taobao which shows a partial of a new Transformers Star Wars Crossover mold that looks interesting. I'm surprised I haven't read about this before. Anyone know anything about it? It seems like it is ready to be released!
