And now that it's been pointed out that the pieces the wheels are a part of are both gray plastic painted purple, that says to me that Takara attempted to add more purple to the train body since the original train was all purple, while at the same time maintaining the notion of the wheels being the same color as the part of the train body that they are attached to, just like on actual steam engines, the aforementioned toys, and the cartoon model.

durroth wrote:actually, comparing the two, unless there were multiple red sprues in the sentinel prime mold, I don't think there is *any* purple plastic on that astrotrain. It's all paint ops.

Yes. Now go to your room and don't play with yourself.
Deadput wrote:We complaining about painted train wheels now?
Thought you people hate Hasbro for not putting enough paint on their toys.
So less paint or more paint?

Sorry, that's not an acceptable excuse, I expected it from hasbro, but not TT - not interested![]()

If that's the case....then why the hell are some of Sentinel's train wheels painted silver

But I'm not so sure about the detail on the knees. It sticks out in a pretty bad way especially in spaceship mode.

Nemesis Maximo wrote:Always liked Astrotrain white anyway. Looks more like something from an actual space program. Really; I think Takara's robot mode looks more like "Astrotrain," but Hasbro's looks more like "a space dude," and I'm okay with that. Plus, Hasbro's has those awesome classy wingtip shoes.
william-james88 wrote:Not a big fan of that Takara Astrotrain. If they were both available locally for the same price I dont know which would go for, but for the extra shipping cost and exchange its an easy pass. I totally get Takara trying to give toon accurate decos, but unlike Blurr and Scourge, this Astrotrain's alt modes really dont look close to the aimation models, especially that train mode. Both in deco and in shape, so I dont get the use of not highlighting some of that detail takara style. I would have much preferred they independently colour the wheels purple against a dark grey plastic. That would have been much nicer. The way they went with the broad purple strokes in train mode doesnt do anything for me. If your gonna go neo G1 for an alt mode, make it nice.
