It looks nice in "anime" colors, but I'm not as excited about it as I thought I'd be … I'll stick with my Hasbro Astrotrains.

I'll stick with my Hasblo version although this one looks real nice. The figure itself is just O.k. design wise. The shuttle mode isn't very impressive with its blocky looking wheels

Because Astrotrain didn't sell all that well in America (the Hasbro team said so at Botcon) so why would they release a recolor that mostly fans in the US would only want.

No why can't they do this to the ameican versions of the universe line? Why does everything have to be "exclusive". This sucks.
Runamuck
Yeah, I've been wondering if Takara will continue their version of Classics with Universe 2.0 coming out.

I've been thinking the same thing but Powerglide is too pimp to pass up the first time.
WAY too pimp.

Very nice. glad I preordered.

Put me down for 2.
Ktulu
Very nice. Still dig my white one but I'd possibly get that.

Love it just like the Takara Megs…and the white parts look great IMO…

Looks good. Prefer TakaraTomy's version better, but Hasbro's version was good too IMO. Won't mind having them standing side by side on my shelf.
Omegax80
I like a lot. The Starscream tempts me too, only because of it's G1 Cartoon-ness.
Chaos Muffin
Must get

If this keeps up I might wait for the Takara Powerglide.

some time Hasbro make me feel disappointed, by the way Takara will satisfy me indeed. Why So Serious?

I like these new classics i will probally get most of them , i just wished they did a new TF line called "Transformers G1" or "Transformers Generation 1" and the toy line would be dead on acurate to g1, all original vehicles/planes model forms, all original cartoon acurate robot forms and all with the right cartoon/original color sceme! i like this astrotrain but would'nt it be beter to have a g1 100% accurate one?? i know we have the technology to make them all over again and us fans and the kids will buy them.G1 transformations are really not that hard compared to the movie , they could even remake the old series back again but in beastwars 3d animation. I would love that if this dream would ever come true.

i think it's kinda funny. Hasbro and Takara have gone the other way on this (by that i mean hasbro originally did these colours and takara the white and how it's a reversal)
He looks good, i might get it, i've already got two and both had problems (now on one, an arm that keeps falling off and a crap neck, both out of packet)
