This is the one thing I've noticed ever since I started collecting the siege war for cybertron figures they are masterpiece style transformers based on posebility and details in a smaller voyager class size. So I'm glad I started collecting this line of figures cause A, it's figures based on the g1 style cartoon and B, I can buy them at affordable prices at my local target or walmat besides buying the official takara masterpiece figures so I'm glad that I finally got the transformers toy line I deserve cause I've been a hardcore fan of the series ever since the g1 cartoon and the one thing I've always wished for was the g1 accurate characters remade for a new generation but without the super high prices of the takara figures.

My biggest gripe about his classing is that unlike Magnus/Galaxy Prime's full trailers that fully transform into full body armor that fully integrates into the full(I think you get my point) robot or Shockwave's "armor" that while not very well implemented into robot mode is needed for the truly kickass spaceship mode, the accessories that jack up Astrotrain to leader class are barely integrated into any of his 3 modes, the figure works perfectly fine without all of them, he could have perfectly been sold as a voyager figure.

[@theskepticalchristian5181]

On the size: and weight I compared my Combiner Wars and Siege Ultra Magnuses. The siege figure was heavier, all accessories included for both. I compared Thrilling 30 Springer and Siege Springer, same exact weight. So Astrotrain may very well have density on his side. Though the height still is an annoyance.

[@Thomas_Name]

I always consider that the Siege figures are too heavy. If you compare them older figures the older figures of the same characters have an easier weight to them and are taller.

This is now normal. Scout/legends sized Earthrise Cliffjumper is priced as deluxe.

[@KilosFoxo]

broadside is my reason why i don't bother with scale for transformers

[@rhyperiorhunter7339]

ok but you do have to consider 3 things 1. the engineering is far more complex and the figure is much more solid than older leaders so of course he would cost the same 2. inflation and rising oil costs are a thing so hasbro and takara have to pick between solidity or size 3. astrotrain still comes with the coal car and the 5 weapons to compensate for his height and that combined with the main figure makes him weigh about as much as titians return overlord

[@thedrifter5531]

i love your take on the new "leader" class figures

[@CardboardBots]

I always thought that some of those big leader class bots of a few years ago were almost too big. They didn’t feel like they scaled with deluxe or voyagers. Take the remould of the seekers from Jetfire in combiner wars. They looked great, but they would have been a better scale at voyager size. The seekers now look to be at a proper scale. Overall, I have been impressed with the more. Uniform attention to scale in the siege line. I’ve been less impressed at how they package seemingly voyage figures as so-called “Leader” size. I wonder how things will shake out when we get really small deluxes like Cliffjumper (or dare I even say: a Bumblebee). Keep up the great work. You’ve made my day.

[@TheLazyEyebrow]

I sorta felt during that time they were trying ti make MP stand ins for the cheaper market. PotP OP certainly felt like that, amd the CW jet remolds certainly fell in line with MP seeker scaling

i feel like they shouldve just given him a single gun and devoted the rest of the plastic mass to his actual height. Besides making him more substantial, it would've also provided some extra room in his gun locker for other figures' accessories.

I know I'm late, but the reason why Siege Astrotrain is this height is because Siege and all the other figures in the war for Cybertron trilogy are going for a uniformed scale.

I’ve always saw Astrotrain as the big dumb bruiser who you’ll always see next to Megatron, who uses his size to hide his low intellect and prefers to wait for orders rather than make them to avoid thinking. He should always be one of the tallest cons in the collections, like a small Leader Class. Gotta say, I love the this figure, but he does a better job being alone than next to other figures due to size...

Also since we mentioned Thomas and Friends, there is character in that series named Hiro who is also based on the JNR D51 Class (Though the real life locomotive is *Narrow* Gauge while in both Transformers and Thomas and Friends the fictional versions are modified for Standard Gauge). I wonder if Lazy Eyebrow still has that Autobot Thomas from way back then?

[@TheLazyEyebrow]

Now there's something i didn't know, that being the narrow guage fact. As for the autobot thomas, i tried to keep it around just because of it's significance as the big thomas i played with as a kid, unfortunately there wasn't any room for it in the move and it needed to be sold

I get that everyone's complaining about the size of this "Leader"-class figure. He's way too small to warrant a $50 price tag, much like upgrade-less Siege Shockwave. But my biggest issue is with the shuttle mode. The back looks unfinished. When I first saw this figure's train mode, I assumed the tender would collapse and wrap around the back to make the shuttle look more finished, but nope. The tender just becomes a nonessential waste of space. And while that was bound to happen with the robot mode, it didn't have to happen with the shuttle mode, too.

Astrotrain is correctly scaled. The cartoon scaling varied from frame to frame; someone analyzed a ton of shots from the cartoon, creating two scale charts that averaged every character from the G1 cartoons. This Astrotrain scales to that chart, but in the words of Bobby Skullface, "scale is in the eye of the beholder."

[@RialVestro]

I don't mind Shockwave because he has that armor gimmick that Leaders have been doing since Power of the Primes. With the armor on they are leader size, it's just the base robot that is too small and could have been cheaper without that gimmick. That being said I wish they released Astrotrain without that extra chunk of plastic as a Voyager because his armor gimmick doesn't actually do anything. Oh you can give him platform shoes? Big freaking deal. At least Shockwave actually used the parts to give himself armor and while most people would be happy with just the base figure without the armor at a lower price point I thought it was totally worth the leader size for the same reason Orion Pax/Optimus Prime, Hot Rod/Rodimus Prime, Optimal Optimus Primal, Ultra Magnus, and Cybertron Optimus Prime were all worth the Price. In some of those cases the base figure was between Deluxe and Voyager scale but no one complained they weren't really Leader class figures because the armor actually did something. In Shockwave's case the problem is more about the fact he never had that armor in the cartoon so people don't really care about it. In Astrotrain's case the problem is even worse because he doesn't even actually have an armor upgrade mode. It's just shoes and a back pack. The extra chunk of plastic has more use for the vehicle modes than it does in robot mode but the thing is I don't really care about the launch platform so really the only thing it does is adds to the train mode and that isn't worth a Leader class price tag to me. I'd rather that wasn't there and he was released as a Voyager. If they completely redesigned that extra bit so it did more than just shoes and actually forms robot mode armor then I'd be OK with it but as it is it's a stupid useless extra chunk of plastic that doesn't add anything of substance to the figure to justify a leader class price.

[@papersamurai00]

I think Shockwave came out a bit better with the current leader thing, as his add-ons all integrate in both modes and feels kinda right. Extra arms and stuff seems like a mad-scientist thing. If Astrotrain's tender did something, like turn into a weapon or become some sort of armouring, I think it'd be a little stronger. Still, a handsome figure and if they released it with just the main figure and 1, maybe 2 guns as a voyager I think it'd be pretty popular.

[@Evaunit98]

Thank you for the review. You're one of the few person I've heard actually criticizing Astrotrain's alt modes, which I'm glad because I was starting to think I was the only one to not like them! It just so happens that steam locomotives and the space shuttles are among my favourite vehicles ever so I just can't get over the wonky proportions of the shuttle (the potato-shaped nose, the large chunky front with the mangled back) or the train (which looks like a thin train being eaten by a larger one). The robot mode's amazing though, but not enough to buy it, even at half price like it is at my local store.

[@TheLazyEyebrow]

Don't get me wrong, i love the size if shockwave, but i think leader class is annoying. This guy I would've rathered the size if TR astro, but it's still a good figure

[@smittzero8463]

This is an unfortunate issue with triple changers. The extra engineering required for the third mode bumps a Voyager size figure into the Leader class price point. I'd love to see a new Astrotrain in Commander (maybe Titan?) class, ideally with the more real-world (and more interesting) white and black colour scheme used for Galaxy Shuttle. Unfortunately, I think my best bet in the near future would be a Studio Series 86 figure, which would definitely stick with the grey.
