Yes! This is one design flaw with Starscream, Skywarp, and presumably a future Thundercracker (maybe Sunstorm too if Hasbro wants to make the most of its money) have. It appears that Ramjet's cannons will not be interfered with, though I've yet to get him to be sure (there's a small portion of the wing that does come up, but the nice pics on this site seem to indicate it won't be a problem.) If they do Dirge, I'm betting no problem there either. Thrust may not have the problem either, but I don't know how Hasbro would imagine his transformation compared to the other seekers. I could see the compromise being a "conehead" combined with wings that closely resemble Starscream et. al. and therefore might fold up.
I hope Hasbro continues to do all of these. I'll buy them.

I just hate his lacking of a sword and the standard peg hole, I'd give him an 8/10

The fact the shoulders were put on backwords, pretty sloppy quality control if you ask me.

I'd rate Astrotrain higher because of his playability. I love fiddling with him. He is so easy to transform. I probably handle him the most out of all of them.

I agree, he is the most fun of the Classics to fiddle with.

I disagree, when I got the first wave, I played with Bumblebee the most, and now that I've got Jetfire, even Bumblebee has been relegated to standing there looking pretty.
I still dont think much of Astrotrain, especilly his train mode.

Jetfire bores me kinda, why the hell does he have so many weapons? The guy could waste all the Cons by himself and I find that kinda lame.
As far as the Cons go, they all kinda suck, while I don't have Ramjet, all the current Cons are boring. Megs can't stand, the seekers can't even raise their arms, but Astrotrain's multi forms saves him from the monotony of lameness known as the Cons. Also I have no connection to Astrotrain so I don't mind fiddling with him. (Usually I don't fiddle with characters I actually like the characters of.)

Whilst I agree that the majority of the cons could be better (although I do like Megs), I disagree that Astrotrain is the best of the bunch. Admitedly, being into trains as well as TFs means I will never stand for such an apuling train mode, but even so, he is just to compromised by his triplechanger-ness. (That and they could have easily done Blitzwing up to a modern standard without changing his design too much whereas Astrotrain is more difficult.)
They are not on backwards, it's a comprimise that was created due to the scientificaly correct T-Rex Alt mode, also what crappy Quality control?

Remove his wings....thats what I did and he looks much better for it. I also painted over the purple on his legs and arms....I like purple but that was a little much.

I don't dismantle my figs and I kinda like the look of the wings actually.
