Super stable, doesn't really make a difference, it just means the shin flaps aren't clicked in fully.

I have to admit that the train mode is the weakest aspect because as I like the three roller wheels underneath, I can only get one of them to make contact with the ground due to it's poor design. I also wish the turrets could turn a la Energon Sharkticon's turrets.:mad:
The shuttle mode on the other hand is cool and I'm glad I'm not the only one to have noticed it has a Lego-like look which is better than Galvatron's spaceship mode. The beauty of this shuttle is that it has a look reminiscent of Scourge's space "hovercraft" look and this is it's strongest point.
But of course the robot mode is best and I'm glad I can have an Astrotrain (at last) and I'll place him along side his Generations Blitzwing brother.
I have been waiting for a more substantial official Astrotrain for a long time and am ecstatic that this is finally with us! Agree with most of the comments... the shuttle mode is definitely the better alt-mode, and overall the robot mode really shines. Leaps above my long serving classics Astrotrain, and fantastic we finally have a more substantial figure to match Voyager Blitzwing.
Here's my video review just posted this morning:
