Again, this doesnвЂ™t mean that this isnвЂ™t a well-sculpted toy. The articulated wings certainly make up for any shortcomings it may have. This should still not be interpreted as a cut down to the excellently designed vehicle. We hope that the great design is appealing but after all, how many times can shooting projectiles be all that engaging? вЂњYawn!вЂќ we exclaim. Maybe weвЂ™re expecting too much and we could be way off here, but we wonder if the kids (as well as collectors) will go bonkers over this.

The easiest way to express our concern is that very few vehicles in the mid size assortment has any вЂњwowвЂќ factor. And since we just got a rather spectacular Vulture Droid in the last couple of years, the Hyena Bomber pairs nicely with it and the comparison of the two sets them apart from each other. Despite there being quite a few other vehicles we and other collectors would love to see first, Hasbro makes it hard to dislike the Hyena Bomber. You know how a peacock spreads its tail feathers to look more intimidating when in danger? Well, the same can be said for the Hyena Bomber.

We understand that the Hyena Bomber plays a role in The Clone Wars television series as a force to be reckoned with in the Separatist army and Hasbro has given this vehicle a fearsome presence as a toy. Maybe the Hyena Bomber is more aggressive and this is partially why is makes a great candidate for the mid size vehicle assortment. Why all the kicking and screaming, Hasbro when you just end up releasing them anyway? Still, we wonder why they won't take another dip with the Imperial Shuttle as they describe it as вЂњnot aggressiveвЂќ enough. Remember their stance on finally releasing the gorgeous 2010 SW Bespin Cloud Car (OK, the Bespin Cloud Car may be a moot point now that they released it) but we hope you see our point. It seems that Hasbro is taking more and more risk with their vehicle selections and this is a very good thing. If youвЂ™re a collector, you may like this vehicle for what it is, but it may be hard to swallow if you're not a fan of The Clone Wars. This vehicle almost functions like a Transformer and you'll be surprised at the many configurations you'll be able to pose it. Hasbro did a great job in replicating this droid vehicle in toy form and it will be very interactive as it has a decent amount of play features are for the kiddie population. The biggest differences that set the Hyena Bomber apart from the Vulture Droid are the two вЂњheadsвЂќ and the way the вЂњwingsвЂќ split in half (as well as many other directions too). In fact, they look more alike than not alike. They have some sort of familial thing going on anyhow. We donвЂ™t see the resemblance to a real life hyena, but we suppose that since hyenas and vultures are both scavengers, the name makes sense in a way because both the Vulture Droid and Hyena Bomber look so similar to each other.

This droid vehicle is also known as a Hyena-class Bomber and it seems that quite a few of these droid vehicles borrow the names of earthly creatures to describe them. The Hyena Bomber, like 2009's TCW Vulture Droid, is technically a droid and since itвЂ™s pretty huge, it is a great candidate in HasbroвЂ™s vehicle line. In fact, itвЂ™s about double the size of the Republic Swamp Speeder (which just so happens to be in the same assortment) so that should give you some perspective on just how big this 'vehicle' is indeed. The Hyena Bomber is one of the larger vehicles in the mid size vehicle assortment so there is definitely some value here for your money. Maybe not exactly, but there sure are a ton of vehicle concepts that could easily fit into HasbroвЂ™s mid size vehicle assortment and a spot has been saved for the Hyena Bomber.
