News Credits: 1 | I like the Armada Jetfire mould. I don't care what people say, I think it's great and a load of fun, and has good articulation for display and play. Plus if you have mincons, having them ride around in the shuttle is cool. And he's one of few, if any Armada TFs that has a storage area for his minicon that hides it. His back can open up and his minicon can fit on the port, and it can be closed again.
That said, I love Astrotrain, and I love this repaint/remould, but for some reason he doesn't have that same "favourite armada mould" pull for me as the Jetfire version of this mould. Maybe it's the odd face, I dunno. But I love him just the same. Wish I had him, but I rarely collect repaints.  XBL GT: SPLITTLIP

A terrific mold, but I don't love it like I do the Jetfire version. Pretty sure the head on Astrotrain is what kills it a bit for me. Quote: |

ams: Well, I also have the G1 originals, and since the reissues are made by Takara, they're official... and sometimes significantly improved.
seth: Don't you feel like it takes away from the authenticity of your collection?
ams: Dude, you own three different unlicensed City Commander toys and a half dozen fake third-party Prime trailers. WTH? | | |

#44 | | Predacon Join Date: Nov 2007 Posts: 433 Location: Los Angeles Collection Count: Mugen News Credits: 2 | I have this toys and it pretty cool. All the gimmicks including the electronics (which tends to disappear with redecos) are awesome. He still retains his powerlinx ability so you can combine it with another toy like say TFCC Nightbeat. Moni-cons Hook, Line and Sinker give it more play value. You can use the landing gear shield as a roller skate too. The size as an Ultra Class really suits Astrotrain, as he can actually carry some Decepticons in his cargo bay (legends and mini-cons only). The collector's box just seals the deal. Sure it has an astronomic price tag but that is why it is an exclusive. 
Greed is the root of the economy.

Henkei Astrotrain blows this out of the water by far, and... he's actually a triple changer like his namesake implies. Prime: "We're Reissues Megatron"
Megatron: "Nonsense"
Ironhide: "It's True, They're Remold & Repaint Us All The time"
Megatron: "Slag" *sigh* "Kill Me Now"
