Clone Pilots are mass-produced soldiers in Star Wars.
The Clone Pilots are (part of) the Republic's most elite military force. They are key combatants in a large-scale military conflict known as the Clone Wars. War being a great motivation for technological innovation by humans, "morphing" is developed during the Clone Wars. [1] This is the local term for the heretofore-unknown technology of transformation, which at this time is known to be used by the Army of the Republic for four types of machines: their ARC-170 starfighters, airborne Gunships, Turbo Tanks and V-19 Torrent Starfighters.
Their Republic Gunships are in use sweeping across Geonosis, blasting the Separatist forces with their armament of missiles. A Clone Pilot can land in the middle of a fierce battle between droids and clone troopers and convert the gunship into a heavily armed combat mecha that goes straight for enemy droids. [2]
They also pilot non-transforming vehicles. It is unknown if these are exclusively older weapons systems or if single-mode vehicles continue to have an irreplaceable role in combat.
The Seekers wish they could get someone this badass.
The first transforming clone pilot toy turns from a ARC-170 Starfighter into a battle robot with wings sticking off its body here and there. The fighter has two missile launchers hanging off its wings that become handheld weapons in robot mode. The two smaller rear guns can be removed and used as pistols in robot mode. The toy comes with a tiny pilot mini-figure that can be seated inside the craft in both modes. His face is similar to Captain Jag
Clone Pilot Republic Gunship (2007)
Accessories: 2 missile launchers, 2 missiles, clone pilot figure
A retool and redeco of the previous toy, with a new head mold and a new deco, replacing the maroon stripes with dark blue "tigershark" detailing and a grinning red mouth. The clone pilot accessory is also provided with new, matching colors
The "space whale" deco on the ARC-170 was originally seen on the Gunship within the Star Wars universe. The Star Wars Transformers line marks the first time it was applied to the ARC-170 and the Clonetrooper itself. It was, of course, only a matter of time before versions of each came out for the normal HasbroStar Wars toy line. Transformers has added to the main Star Warscanon. Awesome.
