Those funny guys at the Hasbro art department injected some Strangelove humor in the background insert of the Attack Recon Fighter with Anakin Skywalker. UPDATE: Thanks to a tip from Yakface, we have more on this noseart design!

Thanks to an observant Facebook reader, we spotted a little Easter egg in the backround art featuring a Clone Trooper bronco busting on a rocket. Perhaps as an ingenius nod to the Slim Pickens role in Dr. Strangelove?

It's hard to decipher the Aurubesh, but a no prize to the reader who does and posts it in our comment section. 

Definite T-Shirt material!

UPDATE: It turns out that this is one of many noseart designs used for the Clone Wars series. The translation is, "I Come In Peace." Thanks again to Yakface.com for the info!
