william-james88 wrote:The colours dont bother me, the headscuplt doesnt bother me, the feet bother me a little but what I am most curious about are shots from under the space shuttle and the back of the train, which they meticulously left out. Is it safe to assume that behind the train are the rockets boosters?

I'm gonna buy it.

G1 cartoon Blitzwing and Astrotrain in robot modes were never shown taller than Megatron and Optimus. They were shown a pinch shorter.

I thought it was the Hasbro release they were imitating. But this time with a more uniform black train mode.
Prefer the Takara toy colors as the vehicle modes are more real world colored accurate.
Never seen a purple locomotive train before or a purple and white Nasa space shuttle.

Yeah not a good idea to use the cartoon as reference for TF height , we all know the crazy sh*t that went on in the 80's toon .
Best to use the scale charts , your right about Asstrotrain , Blitzwing however is a tiny bit taller than Optimus .

Looking at the scale chart, It's already got some wrong scale references in it. As the scale chart shows Optimus as being half the height of Devastator. In the G1 Cartoon, Devastators hand is the size of optimus. Also in the G1 Cartoon Omega is not a few heads taller than Devastator, they are the same height
More scale chart errors. In the G1 cartoon, Optimus is a few heads taller than Inferno, Grapple and Hoist. Not only a head taller, like this scale chart above suggest.

Maybe I misread, but do you mean you preffer the Hasbro classics astrotrain over this one?
