Toy Review - Titans Return Astrotrain and Darkmoon

[Sutton]

Oh! One really annoying thing about both Sentinel and Astrotrain is the placement of the product stamp, right on top of the train cab. It was a bit more invisible on Sentinel, but it's clear-as-day on Astrotrain...

I was on the fence about this one as I have Henkei Astrotrain but this is a great toy IMO. Happy I picked him up.

Too gray for me. I'll pass. Plus Sentinel is the more interesting character.

I just can't get past that 'train' mode...

How stable is sentinel with the train feet?

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

Have you tried using rubbing alcohol and a cotton tip to remove it?

Nah, not yet. Being a serial number I reckon it'll come off easier than a proper paint app.

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.

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:
