"Why is he named Thomas?"*Turns into a train*"....well played"

[@brandonbaggaley2317]

The figure should have been named Hiro due to the fact that Thomas and Friends has a character that is the same locomotive class that Astrotrain had in G1 named Hiro. If the Transformers existed in T&F, Astrotrain would have scanned Hiro, explaining why Astrotrain’s locomotive mode is in standard gauge like Thomas and the trains in the USA instead of Kape gauge a size that is more in scale with Narrow Gauge locomotives like Scarloey and Peter Sam from T&F.

[@Its_Charlie_Young]

@@brandonbaggaley2317 Yeah, Thomas was an LBSC E2, Hiro was a D51, the same engine that Astrotrain turns into.

With Hasbro having Core Class action figures, I hope that Hasbro puts out an Astrotrain that works with Core Class action figures.

Believe it or not...I actually stumbled upon a animation of Thomas as a Transformer when I was younger. From memory, it was something a father did for his son, and it had Thomas as “Opthomas Prime” (Get it...Op-THOMAS Prime.) and Spencer as “Megatrain”.

you dont need to flex the plastic on his backpack, there's a part on his backpack that allows it to slide in and down to lock it in, you need to do it before you tab his head in, angle the 2 parts beside his head inwards and put the backpack in at an angle then close it all at once (kind of hard to explain)

[@brandonbaggaley2317]

The figure should have the name Hiro instead of Thomas because Thomas the Tank Engine is a London, Brighton, and South Coast Railway E2 class locomotive which Astrotrain never transformed into. Astrotrain transforms into a JNR D51 locomotive in G1 which this figure replicates and has a Thomas and Friends with the same locomotive basis, Hiro.

FT hits that perfect sweet spot between Cartoon Accuracy and Realistic Detail that the official Takara MPs used to have, and I love them for it. If the price for this guy hadn't jumped into the stratosphere right after he dropped I'd pick him up, but alas. And the flight stand transforms too, that's all manner of awesome.

[@goawayihavecommentstomake1488]

I think he looks good next to DX9 Blitzwing, a little smaller than the DX9 Astrotrain, but a much better shuttle mode and more cartoon accurate for bot mode. He’s probably the one for me.

Thanks a ton for this video in particular. I got the ko of this and couldn't figure out how to keep the wings tabbed in in shuttle mode. You said "pull the wings out" when going from shuttle to train, and I realized you have to push the wings in to keep 'em tabbed. The instructions for the ko of this are less than worthless.

The train mode is a JNR Class D-51 steam locomotive used by the Japanese imperial army in WW2 and its a 2-8-2 locomotive (number of leading drive and trailing wheels)

[@xmann10761]

Shouldn't Thomas' alt modes be a train and a treaded military vehicle? You know, Thomas the Tank Engine......

[@brandonbaggaley2317]

The term tank engine is usually used to refer to steam locomotives that have small coal bunkers attached to the cab instead of needing a separate tender to hold the coal. Thomas is a tank engine due to having no tender like the Union Pacific Big Boy 4014 or LNER 4472 Flying Scotsman (brother of NWR #4 Gordon the Express Engine in T&F) have.
