Oops, miscounted, it was actually 10 packages, forgot to count an order I placed Monday and forgot about Astrotrain who arrived today. This is my first experience with the mold. Wasn't expecting him to be so light, they used the lightweight plastic on him which is fine with me, I've never had an issue with this plastic breaking and his joints aren't terribly tight. Transformations are quick and easy for all three modes, but all distinctly different. I know a lot of people give the train mode of this mold a hard time for being a "robot doing the splits", but having him in hand I don't get that impression. All of his obvious bot parts are covered well, his legs each have four panels that are folded out making them look less like legs, his hands fold away, and his torso is covered by the wings. His "feet" aren't even used in the train mode, I really don't see the complaints, I think he looks good. I'd say he pulls off a better train that the Classics version does, mainly because he's an obvious "war train" covered in guns rather than trying to pretend he's a passenger train.
Looks like I'll have to track down a Sentinel Prime now.
