Hasbro and HunterPR sent over some pics of the one and only Jon Stewart as a Stormtrooper. This was a special figure made specifically for today’s Main Event Q&A with George Lucas. Sadly, the production count of “JohnStu” (or “JonStew” or “Stewart Trooper” or whatever his official name is, there are several versions) is one, as in the one given to Jon Stewart himself, so don’t look for him in stores. Dang it.

In an effort to bring over the content of ASM’s old site alteredstatesmag.com, we’re starting to (slowly) load up our gallery with pictures of old. These pictures haven’t been seen in years, as the gallery functionality on our old site was inadvertently corrupted after a server move. So, let’s walk down memory lane with these two galleries: OTFCC 2003, the Official Transformers Collector’s Convention held at the Hyatt in Rosemont, IL. Alternators and Energon were the big toylines, but we were starting to see the initial entries of Universe as well. Also included were the first looks at the OTFCC

You asked and Hasbro answered! Hit the jump to see the answers from Hasbro and Hunter PR! The Sun Fac figure has given us some terrific Geonosian Warrior redecoes… but they’re all based on a character with a very distinctive one-eyed head sculpt, giving army-builders a legion of squinting Geonosians. Is there any chance of a retooling to give the head a second eye the next time it’s used? In the same 2-pack as the aforementioned Geonosian, we got a Kit Fisto based on his iconic pose in the arena…but he’s still not smiling! How did he end up with
