As requested by darthbinks1, here's Clone Strike Maul. Again, please feel free to add your own reviews.
Here are his stats:
Darth Maul (Clone Strike) VR Cost: 55
HP: 140
Defense: 21
Attack: 14
Damage: 20
Special Abilities
Unique
Deadly Attack (Scores a critical hit on an attack roll of natural 19 or 20)
Melee Attack (Can attack only adjacent enemies)
Rolling Cleave (Once per turn, if this character defeats an adjacent enemy by making an attack, he can immediately move 1 square and then make 1 attack against another adjacent enemy without provoking an attack of opportunity)
Triple Attack (On his turn, this character can make 2 extra attacks instead of moving)
Force Powers
Force 3
Sith Rage (Force 1: +10 Damage on all attacks this turn)
Alright, in terms of stats, everything's looking on par for 55, no complaints there. Special Abilities. Unique (gasp!) and Melee (gasp!), Triple which is sweet, Deadly Attack which can't hurt but doesn't always help either, and then Rolling Cleave, which is a very rare but very good ability, because if you're in a fight with, say, an uggie and master windu, you can kill the uggie, and then move away from mace without attacking anyone, costing mace his triple. It gives maul some flexibility and some defense in Melee fights. Maul has force 3. No renewal Is a huge downer, but there's always Sidious supreme chancellor, or Darth Sidious if you're low on points. Maul also has Sith Rage, which lets him hit for a 14 for 30 three times. However, in order for this maul to be really worth it, you need whorm, who gives him twin. That's a total of 180 damage with Sith rage, not counting deadly! If you use maul on swoop bike, then use vehicle to swap him in adjacent to your target, that's a nasty setup! The only problem with that is that maul has no defensive abilitys, and there isn't really a way to get them. Overall, Darth Maul is an offensive beat who needs to move in aided by whorm and. Force battery in order to be effective. His lack of defense means that in order to not waste 55 points, you have to strike quickly, perhaps using maul on swoop bike to set up a triple-twin Sith rage. I rate him a 7/10

Nice review. Wonder if this should be stickied as you review more pieces. Nice review.

I like the review as well. As far as my opinion of the piece, Rolling Cleave is a nice ability, but overall, the Maul is just ENTIRELY overshadowed by Champion of the Sith, and in most cases, the new Sith Infiltrator is even better than that. This one doesn't need a Force Battery as badly as some (like CotS), but CotS can do even MORE damage, has better stats, costs less AND has some Defense. And Sith Infiltrator doesn't have the Whorm synergy, but if you take care of him (he's pretty fragile when not Cloaked especially), he can do a TON of damage.

So, this Maul is nice, it just isn't as good as his counterparts in most situations.

However, during his time, I'm sure he was a DANGEROUS piece.

I would be too tempted to pick Grievous, JH Flapper

Well, you can if you want, but I have a feeling I already know what would be in there, having discussed his usefulness before with youFlapper

Hmmmmm.... I dunno. I never thought of it being stickied. To be honest, this attracted more attention then I thought it would. I don't think this far ahead LOL
