Transformers Velocitron Speedia 500 Victory Universe Galaxy Shuttle Revealed

I'm interested as it's a "new" character, but as it's the by p*ss-poor, AT mold (with the "unfinished" shuttle rear), I'm not so sold on it. The inflated price/irrelevant accessories are also not interesting for me.

I'll have to see some legit YouTubers review this and/or see if any add-on kits come out to fix the shuttle mode.

It's Ebay and a reseller, so that won't be the MSRP.

He looks like he'll go excellently with the Botropolis Rescue Mission set from Earthrise. Train Mode tho... they did not plan the mold color layout that well in hindsight.

Pleasantly surprising character choice. I won't get it, because that mold is barely worth voyager price, much less leader price, even in those colors. But good to see a variety of characters getting the spotlight.

Same here, the headsculpt is very nice. Helps also make it feel distinct from Astrotrain along with the colour scheme. Perhaps one could even just slap some Decepticon symbols and pretend this is "Takara G1 Astrotrain"...

I was hoping for a White Astrotrain for a while. Getting this without it just being "White Astrotrain" is a win-win. Yes the shuttle and Train modes have compromises but I am not going into this with Masterpiece expectations and I think it's fine.

The new head looks great and I love the Bot and Shuttle colors chimes. The train is broken up weird but I can take it.

I saw someone mention that on Twitter, with a new head it could be toy colors Astrotrain. I like that idea, but I like Galaxy Shuttle more. Victory Saber is going to have a friend at least once he arrives!

Heh, yeah, I'm likewise keeping him as Galaxy Shuttle to go along with my VS!

Definitely getting this, he'll go great with Star Saber and Victory Leo!

Wow, this is exciting. I just posted a while back about Leader Astrotrain and Doubledealer not getting any reuse, Galaxy Shuttle seemed a good fit (even though I think its a bit small), but I dont think we'll be getting a CC or Titan version any time soon, so I'll take it.

Hopefully a Selects Masterforce Doubleclouder (toy deco) isn't too far behind

That obvious repaint took longer than I thought.

I may buy IF I see it live in store. Probabilities of that happening: 1%.

The tender/launchpad is colored to look like the Rocket Base, which Galaxy Shuttle used in Victory.
