One last Siege update before Cybertron reaches this solar system in Earthrise! Today we look at Leader Class Astrotrain, a triple changer space choo choo which will also be releasing in Earthrise packaging. He was a late release in WFC:S. He stays true to the original in that both vehicle modes are kinda forced together, with the train working a tad better. This go round he comes with an extra set of pieces that act as a weapon storage, backpack, feet risers and launch pad. I’m torn on the method for Leaders here in Siege. They are basically Voyagers with extra pieces, keeping them smaller, but the extra pieces are kinda cool and don’t ruin the core figure. Whether I like that or not depends on what side of the bed I wake up on.
All in all he’s a very Siegey version of Astrotrain and was another fun run to mess around with. I’ve been extra happy with Siege overall, first mainline Generations figures I’ve gone deep on in over a decade. Earthrise looks to continue the design logic and G1 nostalgia, and that is welcome here, I’m staying on for another round!
Check out our Astrotrain gallery below. He is in stock now at TFSource!
WFC Siege Releases: Earthrise Pre-Orders, Astrotrain, Omega Supreme, Refraktor 3 Pack Set, Red Alert, Galactic Man Shockwave, Jetfire, Thundercracker, Apeface
In addition to Astrotrain, we’ve also updated a chunk of the Siege deluxes with basic gallery entries. When this line started I wasn’t planning on going as deep as I did, but the line was just too good! I went back and got deluxes I wasn’t planning on, you can check them by clicking the picture below!

I haven’t seen any. I’ve seen the blade, missile upgrades, and an attachment to give the visor pointy ears, but no replacement

Apologies if this is the wrong thread. I was wondering if anyone has made a lighter replacement visor for jetfire. The current is way too dark under normal light.

Personally I’d prefer a bigger train front part since it’s tiny compared to the train body
REDEEMED
I was just wondering the same thing.

I\'m still hoping for a kit that adds on to the back end of the shuttle to smooth out that unfinished look.
Is anybody out there going to save us from this atrocity!?

I will never forgive nightscreams hair. Anyway, I don't give a crap about Astrotrain as a character, but man I've always loved the toy designs. The armored up voyager gimmick is a kicker.
Chaos Muffin
Your pics are always the tits!
RiD/Car Robots were sooooooo good.
Especially after the Beast Machines crap & Nightscream’s hair.
Was dying for the cars to return.
Optimax Prime
Kinda seeing that on both my Optimuses and my Megatron

If you look at that picture of all the Astrotrain toys, from the original toy to the Titan\'s Return. Have you noticed how the \"train\" mode has gotten longer and the \"shuttle\" mode has gotten flatter?

Where’d you get the stands for the seekers?

I think I will bust him out at our next orgy.
Optimax Prime
My advice, rename the TR one
Kenchanayoh
That\'s some nasty paint

I own Titan Return Astrotrain but if I end up buying Siege Astrotrain one of them has to be renamed to Astroglide!

It\'s a great looking figure, I just think it could have been larger in size. It doesn\'t have to be as big as jetfire, just big enough to be a sizeable challenger. 3rd party makers take note. DX9 chighur is looking likely to be my next purchase if nothing else appears.
Protostar
Oh cool, I'm an Astrotrainian then

I'm fine with Voyagers + shit ton of accessories for a Leader pricepoint, but the accessories need to truly feel worth the 20 more $, or the figure should have noticeably more engineering, parts count, mass, or otherwise feel like a figure too expensive to sell as a solo Voyager. Studio Series 44 Optimus' trailer & accessories feel worth it, but I can't bring myself to say the same for Siege Shockwave. Aside from that, I'm fine with it, but also I still want the occasional Leader sized figure. I don't want to eventually have to be buying Commander Class figures that are just Leaders with extra accessories too just to get Leaders at all.

Love my Astro!

I wish the Earthrise version was different from the Cybertron one. Just the removal of the "cr@pple damage" paint would do for me, but something like a cleanly painted version of his white iteration would also be welcomed.
