    Spinister (G1) - Transformers Wiki It's definitely going to be a deluxe figure. As for how tall, not sure. Probably shorter than Ironhide.

    Is it me or did they fix Spinister's head a smidge? The MTMTE enthusiast in me still wishes it looked like IDW!Spinister, but whatevs.

    Also, for those bellyaching about Spinister not having his Targetmasters, Singe is available by himself while Hairsplitter (or Shrute) is in the 3-pack with Skywarp. Yeah, you’re spending more, but what can you do?

    Would he? He’s supposed to be able to fit the Decepticons inside of his vehicle modes....just like Jetfire for the Autobots. Astrotrain should be a Commander.

    Neither is a space shuttle without a fuel tank and solid rocket boosters. They’re also haven’t been space shuttles in operation since 2011. At least in the United States, Hasbro’s primary market....

    Tell that to the G1 animators lmao

    People tend to forget that Transformers is a CARTOON. It’s not supposed to be real world accurate as hell.

    Again I stand by what I said. Rather have that excess plastic put into the vehicle modes to make them look better, and have a slightly bigger paint budget, then to have a passenger car/caboose/tender with treads (why?) and a launch pad/yoga mat for the shuttle

    The head mold is unchanged I think, but we've seen at least three different variations of paint combo on his head.

    I've preordered two, the second to custom with. I might tap up the usual guys on Shapeways for an IDW head too.

    The only issue I have is it doesn’t look like Crosshairs gun transforms into anything or anyone

    Modern figures won’t come with targetmasters unless they’re exclusives, especially since those currently occupy their own price point. Trenchfoot is essentially a renamed pinpointer who isn’t entirely accurate mold wise (basing this on shrute being a renamed hairsplitter and both being in the battlepacks). If a deluxe were to come with a battlemaster it’s retail price would jump from $19.99 to $24.99 based on the greenlight exclusive

    While this is true about his shuttle mode, there were also episodes where his shuttle was the exact same size as Blitzwing's jet and Starscream's jet too. He also stood the same height as Starscream and Blitzwing in bot mode.
    And if you get technical, the episode where Astrotrain tricks the alien people into worshipping him and Cosmos, he was nearly as big in shuttle mode as Omega's rocket. His shuttle size was all over the place.
    Overall, I'm glad they made him voyager (plus a bit), since that puts him at the same height (more or less) as Blitzwing and Starscream, in bot mode.

    Astrotrain being commander class goes against what Habsro is doing which is making everyones robot modes in scale with eachother. show me one screenshot of astrotrain being as tall as Jetfire. He never was. Astrotrain could haul decepticons around the same way Soundwave, megatron and blaster would be carried around or spy. he'd shift his size. There were episodes where Rumble could fit in a seekers cockpit. doesnt mean we need commander class seekers to accommodate. We saw Autobots ride in the back of Ratchet. doesnt mean we need to sacrifice robot mode scale.

    The argument Astrotrain should be the same size as Jetfire because jetfire carried autobots is stupid because Siege cant technically do that either. hes got handles. he can hold titanmasters not anyone else/

    Astrotrain and Spinister  look really cool to me. Digging the colloring on Spinster the most.

    Just posting these two to show the difference in paint apps. I hate that Hasbro keep doing this. Half the write up on TFwiki is outlining the difference between the promo and the final product. 68738603_2395450387365532_6461745010835456000_n.jpg Spinister.jpg

    One is CGI, one is the actual figure.

    Yeah stop looking at CG models as anything, they’re not. Just wait for actual package photos

    he still has a nice amount of paint apps look at that ab area, I wonder who's the genius that put the serial on his face

    they dropped the apps on the shoulders and the yellow button.

    Wow, what a waste of time.

    Yeah, and you'd think the curators would realize that by now.

    It's like how the "OMG MOLD REUSE!" crap during CW lead to the Wiki creating an insert to exclusively track which molds all shared the same core.

    And they haven't done it for any other line before or since. Just CW, because this fandom is embarrassing.

    Astrotrain is definitely worth a pre-order.
