Did a search and found nothing. Looks nice tho!

Pretty tempting for the G1 factor, but I think the white colour scheme works better.

 

Wow, this was unexpected.

 

Kind of dull-looking, like most of the Japanese Classics thus far.

 

Sold. God I love repaints.

 

I wish the forearms were gray too.

 

That's the only one that look good so far for me. I could be tempted to buy that one, he look real good in bot and shuttle mode  

 

Look at the arm he is using to hold his gun.  

 

Agreed, the figure would look better IMO if the white areas were all changed to gray. But still, it looks pretty good.

 

I meant the covers on the forearms. I don't like how they kept white on them.

 

That looks pretty damn cool. A toon' accurate Astrotrain. How much do these Japanese Classics run for?

 

Now you mention it, it kinda does stick out like a sore thumb.

 

Astrotrain looks pretty good, but I don't think I'll be getting him. I'm happy with the white Astrotrain. Maybe I'd consider him if Hasbro plans to repaint him. Nothing against Takara-Tomy, but a domestic release of a repaint of a TF I have is healthier for my wallet.

Personally I think the white on the arm adds some nice contrast. I also feel it adds to the "realism" of the bullet train mode since (based on a Google search) most bullet trains are white or have a white section that starts from the nose.

 

sweet.

I'm not sure this is a picture of the actual final figure - I can't see any chrome on it like the other Japanese classics.

 

Sooo, is this official, or a digibash? I was hoping they'd do these colors, so I'm hoping it's official!

 

I think I might have found the only Tomykara Classics toy I'd actually be willing to buy.

 

Hopefully it'll stay that way too; I think the chrome on the others looks awful and out of place.

 

I like the idea of the chrome, but it does seem quite randomly applied, and as such I don't think it works. Since the original Astrotrain never had chrome, I don't see why you'd expect (or want) it on this version.
