Oh my. May have to get this one
Prototype pics are up on TFW2005 etc.
It looks pretty amazing.
EDIT - ah, crap. I was thinking of a different not-Astrotrain, Toyworld's Devilstar. Looks even better than this (IMO).
Really? I'm preferring this one over Devilstar except for the shuttle mode, which doesn't really worry me that much.Quote:

I think neither of them look good in robot mode.
Toyworld Devilstar for comparison.
I do like their alt modes though :)
hmm I think I prefer this one more than the devilstar one. It's big enough though for CHUG line :) as he should be, but then it's kinda too big this time.
At least this one is the right colour :p Train mode looks pretty nice. Not sure if it'll suit MP though. It's more in line with CHUG.
Yet another case of two Third parties announcing a toy based on the same character at the same time, they must be psychic.
Both not Astrotrains have merits, and the Takara version of the original Henkei toy was rather fine at the time, though I would like a bigger one with the classic locomotive mode. Going to wait this one out till we see some more finished prototypes.
I like this a lot
I believe that devilstar is an unfinished prototype, and the colour is not final but both have good promise since the inclusion of blitzwing my classics astro is looking a little small
Astrotrain today-Octain tomorrow? hopefully...
Blitzwing. In all his MP glory. That is the dream anyway.Quote:

Yep, bot mode is not G1 toon accurate enough to me. To me, it's a leader class chug figure. Wings are too sharp, not round enough for starters. Alt modes are nice - I just don't think it will fit into my MP shelf. I will always look at it and think it just doesn't belong there.Quote:

oh but it should be important Hursty.... it should be big enough to be able to fit Devastator in :p:D:p;)Quote:

couldnt be bothered making a new thread but Mirage is nearly out and he looks really good! at $70 before shipping from RK its a pretty good price point for MP class 3P toy.

Looks brilliant but I am hesitant as I can see Mirage being released in the MP line soon (even if the first rumour was false)
i wonder if Imperial Tobacco out of the UK will have anything to say about this being sold there...
It looks good and yet I am also a little hesitant . I'm not sure If I believe TakTom will release one, but there's also the chance MMC will too.
I think the vehicle mode needs a few more details, like mirrors and something though.
wow nice. when is this coming out?Quote:

:(. oh well, but that's just me nitpicking, Im still gonna get this heheheCoz Astrotrain needs to be massive IMO
I need one!
If anyone has news on release or who's got it for sale let me know :D
Also Mirage looks good too
BBTS have it up for pre-order. I'm sure some of the HK sellers will have it for less.
Release date still says January, but I think around March is more likely.
And here's your proof:Quote:

One piece part-forms. :(
weird considering they were saying earlier that nothing had to be taken off to transform it. either way ive had this on pre order since the first image appeared and they said cartoon colours :)
I can't get into this. The Toyworld one is better, except for colour :)

It "scales" with Masterpiece. But that's it. It looks like a masterpiece scale classics Astrotrain. Not for my MP shelf. And therefore not for me.
