Blitzwing, Springer, Doubledealer, and Sandstorm already have great figures that cannot be matched in awesomeness.

Well...let's not forget about blitzwing and doubledealers shoulders.

At the same time though, the point is all of them have been done and most likely will not be done again. I am fighting for a Sixshot but that may not be for a while if it would happen.

I too really hope we get a sixshot. That's one character that I don't think has had an official update that definitely deserves it

another repaint of this thing? what a joke. maybe if the rid line was not filled with so much crap people would be buying more stuff. what is there? like six warrior class figs. they are the only ones i bought.

Either you're in the wrong thread or you don't get the concept that Astrotrain was obviously the intended character for this mold, and so far only 2 versions of this mold have been announced.

another repaint

another

What are you talking about sir.

This is the *only* repaint.

Looking forward to him though I like the generations version, he does deserve a larger scale. Springer and sandstorm were definitely fun updates and excellent examples of great remoulding / retooling,

Love the triple changers but only had sandstorm and broadside as a kid (will hope to get the others one day). Again I hope they give us a broadside, would be a good excuse for a leader class triple changer.

Anyhowwwws... Is this guy gonna be a headmaster?

It seems very likely. He shares a mold with sentinel prime, who is also. It's thr line wide gimmick. I'd be pleasantly surprised if he wasnt though

If you look closely on this image, you can see the head floating above his body just like the other figures for TR.



Soo... yep. Headmaster.

aye, i'm on board with Broadside(no pun intended) coz they haven't done him in a while

speaking of figures that haven't been redone toywise since the G1 days, Grandus! i wouldn't mind seeing one done for the Titan Wars

Yeah, can't wait to see this guy in full color, I personally don't mind either the white/purple or the grey/purple, but his head is kinda lackluster, despite being fairly accurate.

Definitely getting both him and Sentinel, might slap a different head onto Astrotrain, maybe his and Crashbash's white's will match

You've been talking about him a lot lately...and you may as well keep dreaming I'm afraid as he's just not a priority...like at all. Now if he was a big player in the comics then he would have more of a shot.

Unless you can sweet talk someone from hasbro

Definitely not going to happen, there are already at least 3-4 other titans that are already on hasbro's monitors for the next few years, maybe if they run out of idea's, they'll scrape him out of the bottom of the barrel

This was the intended use of the mold, SP was a pre-tool.

well funnily enough....& speaking of BIG players in the comics(& in other media too) i was kinda hoping they'd've done this guy for the Titan Wars!(well! at least A Unicron) if it weren't for the fact that a 3rd party company got in there first! which btw....they'll probably sell it for a ridiculously high price! & it would've been far cheaper had a Unicron figure originally been part of the Titan Wars line!

Isn't that the one where the ring is placed stupidly? Also that pales in comparison to armada unicron

Hello Astrotrain, we have been expecting you.

yeah i'm not necessarily meaning THAT unicron! but A unicron....like you said....maybe a reworked Armada/Energon mold or something! now granted that a Unicron in the Titan Wars was never on the table in the fist place(by Hasbro) but i think it would've better suited the Titan Wars rather than some bloody 3rd party company getting a hold of it first! in which btw only cements the fact that we'll never now SEE one happening! in future release figures(by Hasbro).

I know it was done on the last page with color, but I felt the image wasn't quite cut in the middle. I shaved a couple pixels off and I feel it looks pretty good.


Yes please hasbro.

Also, so the weibo user decided to up the ante? So not only did we only get half a pic, but they decided negative was better?

It does look like they did some retooling to the figure. Most noticeable in the feet. I like it so far!

Hate to break it to you, but, that's just the shuttle halves flipped forward, instead of the train half

Sorry for not knowing the previous use of this mold or what class...voyager?

Huh looks like you're right. I gotta give credit where credit is due, that's pretty damn clever.
