Just got my Henkei Astrotrain yesterday. (He was a replacement for a damaged one....but that's a story in a previous thread.) The paint scheme is absolutely awesome and I have to say that he's on of my favorite TF's ever.
Words and pics DO NOT do this toy justice. Coolest Astrotrain ever. If you don't have one GET IT. If you do own one please use this thread to tell people what you like about him.
The Henkei line is one of the best ever and all of the figures I own from it are absolutely AMAZING. I have Grimlock, Starscream, and Astrotrain.
Takara definitely did Hasbro one better on these figures especially Starscream and Astrotrain!!
What do you think? |

I really dig Purple Megatron and Silver Megatron, both work well. The only two I feel like Hasbro failed at in regards to paint apps are Starscream and Astrotrain. 
HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!!!

Astrotrain is great but Megatron is so much better, one of my fave figures and definatly my favourite Megatron out of the ones I have. | |

HENKEI astrotrain is the best 'repaint' of the whole line with Powerglide being a close second.

I was super impressed with Astrotrain espescially. I live all the detail, the better coloring, the chrome engine boosters. All around a great toy!  | |

#7 | | 'Til All Are Gone! Join Date: Mar 2007 Posts: 3,733 | The Henkei line is awesome. It really is just a well-done line so far for me. I owned all the Hasbro versions and I now own all the Henkei versions. Since I normally don't buy figures a couple of times that should say something for them. Good stuff! Quote:

Honestly, random use of chrome, and slavish G1 paint apps do not make the figures any better. I'd rather have an updated look with no use of chrome. Quote:

#10 | | TF:A is better than you. Join Date: Jun 2003 Posts: 10,309 Location: Birthplace of Aviation Collection Count: More than a few by a bunch News Credits: 1 | (my) factor of desirability for Henkei versus Classics toys (out of 10)
Henkei Astrotrain - 8.0
Henkei Powerglide - maybe about the same - I wanna see better pics first)
Henkei Megatron - 5.0
Everything else - 1.0
Guide: 10=get at all costs, 5=worth getting, but could easily do without, 1=Only if you don't already have the Classics version.
(this scale subject to differing opinion or fan rage)  How the Animated toy line REALLY came to an end
