G1 ASTROTRAIN: EmGo's Transformers Reviews N' Stuff

[@edwardimusprimal7330]

My uncle gave me his childhood G1 astrotrain when I was a kid. I'm 18 now and I still have it.

[@jonpower9728]

Astrotrain: "Jettison some weight or I'll never make it back to Cybertron!" EmGo shows off a Lean Cuisine meal...

[@CountryMetal01]

My Fellow Decepticons, Astrotrain, has requested that we, lighten our Burden.

[@brycedunn4113]

That's why I love this channel.

[@Doctors_TARDIS]

I for one, am TOTALLY ok with "Friday G1 Fun Day" being a regular thing.

[@thenate5367]

Fun fact: The resin prototype shown in the 1985 catalog actually did have extending arms, along with being grey and having a head more cartoon-accurate.

[@arjaychumacera3993]

It's funny how devastator and the other deceptions can fit inside astrotrain's alt mode

[@rodimusunicronus2089]

Well it's due to mass shift I assume, like megs and Soundwave shrunk in their altmode

[@9874123dar]

If that's the case then technically astrotrain is the biggest transformer

[@rodimusunicronus2089]

@@9874123dar tho I would assume there are larger individual too,like broad side and tidal wave, both of them transform into aircraft carrier (for tidal wave, that is actually just 1/3 of his altmode) Also in the transformers legends Manga, broadside is shown easily lifting metroplex and trypticon each with one hand

[@lexibyday9504]

the biggest transformer would also be able to contain unicron

[@krishacz]

It's G1, consistent scale and things making sense are not on the menu.

[@ravetapes82]

I had my Astrotrain recalled when I was a kid because of the lead paint contamination. My Dad made it up to me by getting me Skorponok.

[@voidless43]

rip

[@lexibyday9504]

I actually had a skorponok and I didn't realise because I got it at a marketplace for like three dollars

[@thenate5367]

So, you lived in Mexico? Understandable, all of IGA's G1 releases used lead paint.

[@ravetapes82]

@@thenate5367 Nah U.K mate. I just remember having the figure for at least a week or so at Christmas then my Dad prying it out of my hands. He got me Skorponok in the January from what I recall.

[@thenate5367]

@@ravetapes82 IGA's releases were shoved into Europe and the UK in the late 80's and that was when it was discovered they were using lead paint.

[@anishkandhi4703]

The packaging explains so much

[@NinjabillReviews]

Always appreciate a good G1 toy review.

[@ManwithoutfearJDK]

Funny story. I watched this when you posted it. Today my wife and I were at a flea market. I found an Astrotrain. no gun. But all his parts were nice an solid. Stickers were alright. And I got a Swoop (not as nice shape, but still great) a Rodimus and Skullcruncher. No accessories for any of 'em. but for 20.00 I'm not going to complain.

[@greymonster8669]

Love your vids emgo keep it up

[@TBgunsandbutter]

Astrotrain, was huge in space craft mode remember Devastator, had lots of head way!

[@trmblingblustar]

Also, am I the only one who feels a wave of warm nostalgia to see the faction sticker activated? Heat sensitive stickers were all the rage at the time! Almost as hot as puffy stickers!

[@supernintendogames1]

I found this Guy at a second hand store. They only wanted 1 dollar for him which was chocking considering the overall shape he was in. Other than som wear on the diecast and beat up stickers i would say he was in pretty good shape. All i can say it was worth every penny

[@TheGuardianofAzarath]

It’s impressive that they were able to design a triple changer back then, considering manufacturing and mold making limitations back then.

[@sebastianorduzo322]

11:02 I understood that reference. XD

[@insanefreddy7607]

Me too lol

[@RedX_100]

Sure, he causes confusion, but can he cause confusion AND delay? Also, regarding his alleged top speed of 400 mph in train mode, the JNR D51 (the locomotive he's based on) has a top speed of 55 mph, but WHO CARES IT'S PRECIOUS

[@emgo316]

alien space robot, so the rules of speed don't apply.

[@Ryasis12345]

Astrotrain was always my favorite decepticon! It is so weird to not hear "Because it's Precious!! Ohhh so precious!!" after the G1 comparison!

[@oliverakasparda4660]

Squeeky squeeky..choo...choo !!! Haha riding you as a skateboard !!! Nice video emgo as usual!!

[@JustinWahlne]

G1 Astrotrain was one of my first Transformers ever so I'm a big fan. Still have him too. Looking forward to his new Leader Class figure in the siege line.

[@EddieNova]

Looking forward to the siege representation with the alt modes closely resembling G1

[@tarnkazsu]

It’s funny, I first discovered Emgo when I watched his DX9 Chigurh review, and now I’m watching his review of G1 Astrotrain. Time really does fly doesn’t it?

[@Megaytron]

"Choochoo of Murder Death" is what I will call Astrotrain from now on

[@DisinterestedParty]

Size Scale = Doesn't matter Articulation = Doesn't matter Best triple changer ever = ✔✔✔

[@Titanbrotha00]

Blitzwing & Sandstorm are pretty cool as well! I never had Springer or Broadside. They always seemed a bit lame as action figures.

[@shinagawasama1241]

*Precious G1 quote intensifies*

[@rodimusunicronus2089]

I just realized that Astrotrain is the only one that didn't comment on Megatrons trigger

[@ShinGallon]

I always left the tailfin collapsed and folded into his chest because it looked more like his cartoon design that way. I miss my old Astrotrain...

[@Freddyfan1428]

"Squeaky squeaky!" Greatest review line EVER! lol! :-D

[@junfauzi9232]

Yay more G1 reviews

[@keammthedemon6277]

3:31 starscream be like: change da world, my final message, goodbye. I love that meme.

[@diversediversions]

You never slid the chest plate up into place 😢

[@emgo316]

I talked about that. watch. listen.

[@ronnyclayton194]

I had this reissue as a small child in the mid 80s so i had to pick one up.The only other reissue i have is optimus because i wanted it so bad back in the day but never got him.Optimus was a 1984 figure and i didnt start getting many figures till 1985 wave which astrotrain is,thats why astrotrain has differant box art on the back from optimus,they changed it for the 2nd (1985) wave.

[@DisinterestedParty]

Why, oh why did I ever get rid of my original 80's Astrotrain??? Awwwwe.....sure wish I still had him now. Best triple changer ever!

[@Hillbot98]

I really like these g1 reviews or these "Friday G1 Funday." I also think Astrotrains moto is really cool "In confusion, there is opportunity!"

[@trmblingblustar]

Funnily enough, Astrotrain and Blitzwing, along with the Insecticons are some of the least valuable G1 toys from my experience. I got both complete with boxes some time ago for around $30-40 a piece. I don't know if it's because they are unpopular, or if they are extremely common. Try finding a complete Octane, Springer, Broadside, or Sandstorm for $40!

[@kelpedgamer]

Man this dude was my childhood right here..this and optibotimus and it feels weird watching these guys for some reason

[@leonardoesnard8305]

Thanks for the nostalgic trip down memory lane. A friend of mine had the purple and grey version. Was so fascinated with his transformation at the time. Isn't that version the original colour?

[@autobotalex5588]

I can't wait for the Walmart reissue in 2020.

[@goosegoose4382]

I haven’t seen your channel since I was five still making the same good content

[@wingedswordslayer]

I had one of these a kid but without any of the stickers so I didn't know it was Astrotrain for years. Who do I have to bug to get another one?

[@jacer445u5]

I bought one but sadly I lost the little guy. Hopefully I’ll find him again

[@ratbat1072]

Theres a lot of kos on ebay for like $60

Titans return should’ve gave us an Astro train that could carry Titan masters

[@unmalditorock]

And, congrats 4 your new g1!!!

[@onlocationkat]

It's precious, so precious!

[@KrytenMark]

You're certainly lucky to have the original purple version. All I have of this particular mold is that orange variant from the Platinum Edition range (same with that burgundy red Blitzwing). Still, I'm very grateful to have A version of this neat little Astrotrain figure, no matter how simple it is, and how stumpy the arms may be. A true classic, to say the least. :)

[@christophersichler98]

I also have an original release Astrotrain but mine is in desperate need of Reprolabels. I also need to touch up the paint that's chipped off.

[@KrytenMark]

@@christophersichler98 That old, eh? Man, time can be so cruel sometimes.

[@christophersichler98]

@@KrytenMark It's just small patches of black paint here and there on the legs that have chipped off. The stickers on the tailfin thing look fine though. I already replaced the Decepticon sigils on it. I got mine from a cousin who grew up with G1. He had a duplicate copy which he gave to me for Christmas years ago.

[@KrytenMark]

@@christophersichler98 That's nice of him, then. :) I only have a small handful of G1 figures myself.

I find that this still embodies the cartoon Astrotrain the best (robot head and chest notwithstanding). Is it just me?

[@bahiyakurdi]

You just taut me something now. I saw your leaderclass bumblebee from transformers dark of the moon toy review and you taut me about that stealth mode transformation. I have a repaint bumblebee of transformers age of extinction and it does everything your one does. It even has the tabs of dark of the moon bumblebee. I transformed him, and I only need the weapon back pack. Anyway, love your videos!
