There's issues with the bases and ramps not lying flat on this mould.
The unfinishedness bothers me, as does the train mode - WHO THINKS A TRAIN HAS WHEELS OF DIFFERENT GAGUES? - so much so I don't think Astrotrain has been out the cupboard since I got him. He's not helped by the battle damage and the very drab dark grey, much darker than the photos make out, colour scheme.
The new colours do wonders for the mould

Space trains can have wheels of different gauges.

It makes sense really. Different planets, different gauges.

Not on the same vehicle, though.
ER Astrotrain's front wheels are dramatically different than his middle wheels.

These are Transformers though. Shouldn't he have one set of wheels that converts to suit whatever track he's on?

Recall that the official Hasbro blurb for Earthrise said it took place...in space!

Ah, the amazing race through space we all fondly remember from the Odyssey collection blurb and... and... well I can't even remember what happened in that Netflix nonsense.

Hasbro talk utter bollocks. Really over-complicate things. Then don't stick to their own bollocks.

Now we wait for the discounts...
Surprised it's in FP though - I thought the Speedia line was Smyths exclusive? I know other online stockists have it, but I don't remember seeing, say, the Netflix lines in anywhere but Smyths? (At time of release. I know that old stock is now showing up in t'Entertainer, but that's different.)

FP Manchester, eh? I could go there but it's not a nice shop at all. A blazing inferno at anytime of year. I don't bother with it anymore. A literally very sweaty experience

An "Exclusive Limited Edition" Can Shockprowl find one? |

It's not 'a dream', Philip, it is simply The Truth. The undeniable Truth. Colour me excited. Although, an 'exclusive' huh? Sounds expensive. And I really like the figure I use for Hauler now, a Graple representation from... a forget the line now, but he's big and doesn't look like Graple/Inferno in robot mode. |

Errr, I'm not sure. I don't know what that is. This is a big dude. Doesn't really look all that much like Graple. I think his crane is on his forearm...?
