    All those little tabs and panels on Astrotrain...now it's starting to make sense why they added the weapons crate and made him a Leader class.

    I don't know; Springer sure seemed like he had a lot of parts/engineering going on too, especially compared to Soundwave or the seeker mold.

    Do we have any idea why Barricade still isn't available for preorder on Hasbro Pulse?

    It's not the first time.

    Pulse frequently has had only select figures up for pre-order only to put the rest of the wavemates up once the release date comes around. This was the case for SS Rampage, Long Haul, and Scrapmetal among others.

    Grateful we’re getting a better Astrotrain

    Though I still wish they would have forgone the extra car and used the plastic for a larger robot mode. We need a Commander Decepticon to match Jetfire. Too many bigger Autobots!

    I have been critical of Astrotrain in the past, but that video just dissolved my criticism.
    He looks great.

    I wish Hasbro went with the toy designer instead of a hand model. I mean, I know it's "wrong" to not use a hand model, but man, some of that stuff just doesn't look properly "squozen" as Emgo would put it. The train mode looks bent in the middle!

    It's OK, Hasbro. We won't be offended by the mere mortal hands of an imperfect nerd. That's what we look at all of the time!

    Now you’ve got me thinking of that Seinfeld episode.

    Look great A-train! The “battle train” mode looks pretty cool too.

    Hopefully that'll be the case. So rarely find anything on store shelves anymore. Everything I've bought from Siege has been online

    Maybe it is classics fatigue after 12-13 years, but this is the first line that I haven't really bothered completing yet. Skipped Chromia (and a few Selects retools) and Megatron (though I may buy them when I get bored), and have no interest in Barricade and limited interest in a Astrotrain even if he does look better than the past two classic versions we have gotten. Between Selects and this line, most of the figures get opened, looked at, then packed away.

    That "coal car" for astrotrain is the most useless accessory I've seen in some time. That's going right in the junk drawer, such a price raising waste of plastic.

    And why waste "transformation videos" on simple repaints?
