G2 sideswipe really needs some heavier weapons. I love the paint job, and it is my favorite of the 3, but dang he needs some G2esque guns!

3P my friend!

If they color them properly I will think about it.

Actually paired him up with M.C. Smashdown. And I think that is where M.C. will be staying, it's perfect!

Total moon boots. They remind me of G1 combiner feet.

For some reason, Crosshairs looks much better in these photos compared to previous images

... or wait for one to be released like with Spinister's Singe and Shrute. Trenchfoot is a pretty close match to Pinpointer, in fact.

Yeah, I keep waffling on whether I want to get that pack. G2 Sideswipe is cool and all that, but he has to be a different character on my shelf.

[Cyberpath]

The one packed with Legends Windblade would be ideal, but I never got them so I'll simply give him Blurr's Targetmaster from Legends Twinferno/Doublecross.

[ZeroWolf]

So the original listings were right then when they said that the weapons and accessories combined on Astrotrain. I really do like thd look of him and with his own launch pad he's a ready made display.

I don't have a Windblade, and probably want one, but I still think 60+ for essentially a Pinpointer is a bit much. Much more likely to get the Firestormers.

Trenchfoot will become Pinpointer for me eventually. I think that is who he was intended to be

Hm, Astrotrain looks cool. I find it a little bit wierd though that his extras left over from his train mode just becomes... A box. Hopefully there's some way to integrate it a bit better. That said, he's cool for those that want him.

Correction, they become a massive weapon, some new shoes and a fancy backpack

[D-Maximal_Primal]

Smashdown makes G2 Sideswipe so much more badass



And Firedrive works with Ricochet

No matter what, his shoes will never be as snazzy as TR Astrotrain's.

Welp, I really need to stop double posting But, I really like Fire drive with Ricochet.

I do too, and he will make a pretty decent combined mode gun too

Crosshair is an instant mine! Spinster I was all excited for. Cool dude, cool guns, cool alt mode. But then I saw the tail rotor behind his head in robot mode. No matter how I try, I cannot unsee that. Pass

But the tail rotor behind his head has been part of almost all of his designs

[blackeyedprime]

This big leader size figure (with shoes on) is as big as a deluxe sized spinnister...yay? The price points for the so called leader figures suck so I'll definitely be sticking with TR astro train.

I thought the same. Someone really had fun with posing him for these pics.

It's all mass, not height. Besides, Astrotrain's is measured from the top of his head, while Spinister's is measured from the top of rotor, well above his head. The former is bulkier too, but could still be considered a Voyager with add-ons.

[Microbot]

Uff... I was hoping Astrotrain was a little high than Spinster and a simply voyager...so will be like Shockwave...a too much high price for...

Siege is about scale. Astrotrain is not bigger than megatron so anyone hoping for a larger base figure was setting themselves up for dissapointment. Plus, I dont want my astrotrain leader sized, it makes no sense. If you don't like the approach you can always wait for a sale (as I will) or not buy it.
