Anyways, Astrotrain is great. Just great. I liked the mold before but the colour scheme is a great cross between teh g1 toy and the cartoon and it is just the right tone of grey for the details to pop out. There is so much detail that was invisible on the bright orange Sentinel plastic. Most especially, I love those little squares at the base of the Astrotrain helmet. This toy looks awesome. I much preffer him to my Evilastar.

Also, I am surprised at how much paint AStrotrain has. I didnt know until I held him but those stabilisers in the back are fully painted grey and its not black paint on grey plastic on his legs but grey paint on black plastic instead.
