I never found the original Saga release of the Clone Trooper with Speeder Bike so when I saw this one, I snatched it up. The speeder bike is a little different this time around, giving those who bought the saga version another reason to buy this one. Read on for the review and 24 photos!

If Dr. Frankenstein made his own Clone Trooper, this is what it would look like. An obvious mix-match of various "trooper" parts, the ARC trooper is either your dream trooper or a nightmare of character design. The Arc trooper apparently wears upgraded/reinforced clone trooper armor along with additions that are reminiscent of the various stormtroopers from the original trilogy. These additions include a shoulder pauldron that is almost exactly like those worn by Sandtroopers, right forearm and hand armor like those of a standard Stormtrooper, and a waistcoat like those worn by Snowtroopers. The ARC trooper also sports a left arm gauntlet and helmet rangefinder that is very Fett-inspired. Read on for the review and 12 photos!

If you have the Attack of the Clones DVD or have seen the deleted scenes from the movie, then you've most likely seen these two. I'm surprised Hasbro decided to release these figures, knowing that the scene they were in was deleted from the movie proper. From my own perspective, it seems it was a wise choice; I've only seen these figures twice at my local toy stores and they don't hang around for long. But whether that's because fans have been starved for new product or because they really like these robots is unknown to me. Read on for the review and 14 photos!

UPDATE: Thanks to a reader known only as "AMD", I have learned that at least one of the droids appears in the actual movie! Three droids that look very similar to SP-4 can be spotted in the Coruscant docking bay scene where Anakin and Padme leave for Naboo. Click HERE to see a screen cap and look for them at the left side of the image.
