Astrotrain was always my favorite as a kid. He was a space shuttle and I loved all things space so it was a natural fit for him to be my champion. But he had the added bonus of being a triple changer! He could transform into a train too! I loved trains as well! I had train sets I'd build with my dad in the basement. Could there be a better Transformer?! He was also purple but I don't think that had any bearing on how I turned out as an adult...

Anywho, with the space shuttle being retired will Astrotrain be left to rust in the annals of Cybertronian history? He must rise to prominence once more!

oh god how did this get here im not good with computers

 

[commedieu]

Springer was a better leader than Rodimus.

Shuttle, 2 types of dinosaurs, and a feline of some sort!

I was cool with you until the pony.

 

[injurai]

their is some bull shit political agenda being pushed in this thread...

 

[TheChewyWaffles]

I had that guy as a kid.

 

[Tamanon]

Springer and Blitzwing were both better, IMO. Astrotrain wasn't even the best Shuttle transformer!

 

[Cow Mengde]

Why is there a pony here?

 

[Wubby]

I loved the space shuttle/train one when I was a kid. I kinda remember I lost the wing at one point though. Wish I still had them all.

 

[ChiTownBuffalo]

Springer

 

[Callo Merlose]

I just don't understand how he could fit Devastator.

Yup, that's Kup! Crotchety ol' Autobot.

[SpaceBridge]

Yup. That's Kup my boy.

 

[Acerac]

Why is there a pony here?

It's there to destroy the thread of course.

 

[Mesoian]

no

Indeed. A fuckin' train? Come on.

I was always annoyed when they cheated and made Astrotrain's train form fly around.

Tangential: Are any of the Transformers comic books worth reading?

 

[Diggeh]

is the one on the left smoking a mechanical cigar?

That's Sergeant Kup to you, soldier! Now drop and give him fifty!

Exactly. There's a reason why Springer and Blitzwing are getting new Voyager toys this year.

Blitzwing even has an alternate Animated head!

Aw... nobody loves Sandstorm.

 

[Diggeh]

Aw... nobody loves Sandstorm.

He may be getting a Springer repaint based on the Metroplex box art.

 

[Escape Goat]

Aw... nobody loves Sandstorm.

Nobody loves a dune buggy. You really ought to dream a little bigger, darling.
