There should be an award for being able to produce a lucid letter while under the influence of a migraine. I really want to curl into a small ball someplace dark right now and make the hurting go away.
That being said, trying to figure out what a TIE Fighter transformer looks like in robot-mode, while having a migraine, isn't really the smartest thing I've ever done. I did figure out some useful things, though, such as the fact that TIEs don't really need feet when they transform. They're starfighters; if they're ever in the situation where they need to walk rather than fly, they can hover.
TIEs are also fairly spindly in robot-mode. Comes of being so compact as starfighters.
Also changed around weapon mountings based on information from the official Star Wars site as to where the weapons are actually located on the ship. So, while TIE fighters still have shoulder-mounted lasers, the Interceptors got their shoulder-mounts changed into leg-mounts. But again, starfighters belong in space, where up and down just depend on which way you're facing.
