Wow. Just...wow. That is awesome. Great job all around. Great MP/G1 feel, perfect! Keep up the great work, can't wait to see what you come up with next!

To customizers, it's not always about making the greatest, or best figure. Sometimes it's all about simply conveying an idea into reality. While many customizers out there have had Masterpiece Astrotrain on the brain - Seibertron.com member wan_de_real has done it again. He's famous for his Masterpiece sized creations, and our favorite Decepticon transport is his latest selection. Not only is the figure massive, but it also won Sector70's Triple Changing Contest! For some eye candy, check out the pictures below!

man i so wish you would go into buisness. im sure you hear that alot but i just got my fans project munitionor/explorer and im swear i would buy your stuff in a minute. you seriously know how to make a damn good figure for being a fan like us. mad props. specially your devastator. mos def keep up the good work.

Whoa!!.....ya nailed that one!! he was one of the first TF's i ever owned. I'm super stoked to see THIS.
Great job man. I'd buy that in a second.

Hellz yeah, very nice.

If Hasbro actually did something like this, I'd actually buy it to go along with my MP Skywarp and Prime. Then I'd have to get Grimlock.....

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Absolutely gorgeous. I can't belive how much you've improved since that Bumblebee a few years back. You must live purely to kitbash!

hasbro please do something like this.... dude you are awsome

looks like I'm thelone dissenter then.

Don't get me wrong, Astrotrain for Astrotrain is GORGEOUS, but as also a model railroader, I feel a lot of For example, the Masterpiece (and Alt) figures have hit close to what we call G scale--GArden railroads. a "scale", even a smaller one to meet size limitations, and a live wheelset (rolls) would've made this an Ace. If one wanted, the headlight with a power pickup from the track is a sweet cake topper.

And though Astro never had one, a powered tenderto push him, EPIC.

Nevertheless, this is a very well done figure, and am glad to have seen it.

This is amazing!
I think it's scale actually works better with non MP figures...
Also glad the TFW people are posting there customs here since for some reason I don't have an account there...

But man, this is AWESOME.

Im not implying that it is fake, but can we get some pictures that are not computer enhanced with size comparisons ???

If I can see the figure in a normal pic with a real backround, then I can say he did a great job !!!

Nice Work!

Thnks..really dint get the ideas what r u talking about..(sorry im not so understand English)..but if you look into the size comparison (go to my blog), the MP figure is 1/24 in size and my train mode is even larger than MP Prime which is true comparison between truck and locomotive..and to answer about the live wheel..if you know about how to complete a triple chnagers in 2 half month (for the contest purpose) instead of 1 half year period that it supposed to be, then you know if there enough time to do even the live wheelset and etc

p/s:by the way my 2nd astro will include locomotve body rivet, handrails, live wheels and 40% more details..the things that i already plan but cancelled due to time limitations for the first;)
