"The garbage will do!"

• Millennium Falcon(6-2018)

The second release in the 2018Star Wars/Transformersline, this updated version of theMillennium Falconis also a combiner and again splits into robot mech versions Han Solo and Chewbacca, much like the 2006 iteration. This version lacks the lights and sounds of the first model, but does also include Han and Chewie pilot figures, though the main cockpit only has room for 1 pilot, requiring the other to be put in the gunner station.

The engineering and transformation scheme of this new version leads to much sleeker and movie accurate proportions in ship mode compared to the 2006 version.

• The sound effects of theMillennium Falcon's screen appearances were among the most popular for recycling in the original Generation 1The Transformerscartoon.
