Star Wars Transformers

In one of their more original ideas, to add another subline to their Star Wars toys and to bring together two very popular toylines, Hasbro launched Star Wars Transformers at the beginning of 2006. Featuring Star Wars vehicles that transformed into mechanized avatars of the miniature figures that piloted them (which were famous characters from the movies), Star Wars Transformers mostly sold at a single price point-- $15 U.S. Although I personally would've liked the line a bit more if the 'Mech modes were more generic robots instead of avatars of their pilots, I can't deny that having transformable vehicles based on such a famous line, with some of the designs being quite inventive, is a fairly good draw for me. For the most part, Star Wars Transformers have gotten a lukewarm reaction at best from the Transfandom, however.
In 2008, the line's title got changed slightly to "Star Wars Transformers Crossovers" with some new packaging, and the pilot mini-figures were removed, but otherwise remained the same.
In 2011, the line expanded a bit. A smaller class was added-- ~$7-8 U.S.-- called "Class I", which generally featured more simplified molds, but generally the same characters and designs seen in the traditional $15 U.S. Star Wars TFs (now rebranded "Class II"). In addition, the occcasional big-ticket items were retroactively branded "Class III".
However, despite the expansion, the line was cancelled abruptly come the beginning of 2012, presumably due to lower-than-expected sales.
