Ok. Articulation ranks among the most important toy feature for me.

Without it, it loses a lot of points.

That's either a failed attempt at humour or your a retard, if a space shuttle/bullet train transformer was in scale to the cars and trucks in the same line then it would be the size of a microwave oven or something and be too heavy for any child to lift.

Don't be ridiculous :?

There's a smaller oven-toaster Astrotrain for you. Age 20+.

In all honesty, are you serious??

ANYWAY, I agree that Astrotrain should be at least Voyager size. IMO, that would fix the problem and give Hasbro a chance to add more articulation, detail, and fix the hands. BUT thats only if they wanted too. Otherwise like others have said it would end up just like Vector Prime.

Weapon: Air Rifle
My Vector Prime's gauntlets are fine. They're nice and tight and don't slip back over the hands.



They really shoulda made Astrotrain a Voyager.
I woulda quite happily payed the extra £10 for him, and probably most of you would too.

I'm not familiar with the other series between G1 and Beastwars. Those are my hibernation years. Thesis. No TV.

It's really a shame to ask. But i'd like to learn who Vector Prime is. In what series did he come out?

Surprisingly enough, he's not from any of the series you mentioned. Hes from Cybertron. Last year's series.

Thanks :)

Care to provide a few bits of info about him? Like what is his role? What alt mode? Relationship to the other Autobots?

Just a little get-to-know him stuff. :)

A correctly scaled Astrotrain will be much bigger than Devastator!

Here you go, his Database entry here on Seibertron:
http://www.seibertron.com/database/char ... ar_id=3195

His alt mode is a Cybertronian Jet.

He has a Minicon Partner, than transforms into a Jet, and a arm mounted weapon, for him.

That's because he is very ancient. He's one of the Original 13 created by Primus himself. His ship mode is supposed to look archaic.

I have him and I hate his bullet-train mode. It looks awful. I keep him in shuttle mode, because it's the only one that looks any good.
