Siebertron is proud to bring your our latest image gallery: War for Cybertron Siege Leader Class Astrotrain! Of all the incarnations this character has seen, this is his first time back to having his classic steam locomotive (styled) alternate mode. This time around he includes a coal-car to tow behind him which also converts into his Leader class armor boots and backpack. In shuttle mode you will notice his launch pad has Adaptable Interconnection Retrofitter Lock (A.I.R. Lock) connectors which are compatible with Omega Supreme and the upcoming War for Cybertron: Earthrise roadbuilder and basebuilder systems. Astrotrain is expected to start arriving on shelves in his Siege packaging later this year, but will reappear in new Earthrise packaging next year when he lands to back up the Decepticons on the ground. Enjoy the images and make sure to stay tuned for upcoming Frenzy, Ratbat, and Rung galleries!

I know a lot of people have been posting about either how small or how expensive this Astrotrain is but sweet Jesus I can't wait for my preorder to ship. Siege figures are solid with very nice articulation. As someone late to the game and spent scalper money on some Titans Return deluxes, this is a good deal to me

I'd say it depends on if you want a Cybertronian mode Astrotrain or an Earth Mode Astrotrain. I'd be tempted to get this leader Class and the Sentinel Prime version of the Titans Returns mold to get the experience of both.

I will be replacing the TR version with this one, and I suspect I will not be alone. You might be able to find the TR version affordable on ebay once the Siege version hits retail.

Liking all the astrotrains but sticking with TR version for size and price, he's displayed in robot mode so the earth trains not that important and he will go better with the siege alts anyways. Might be tempted to pick up the classics astrotrain as it looks nice in the white coloring to be different enough from the others.

I was going to get Astro if I found a good sale/clearance, but the gallery pics have convinced me to just skip it all together. Hell, with Earthrise around the corner, the whole siege line will be a happily forgotten Bad memory.

Plus, let's be real, Astrotrain was probably going to be in Earthrise originally anyway, the same with the likes of other late Siege additions like Spinister and maybe even Apeface. Astrotrain especially does not have Cybertronian alt modes. Spinister is a more stylized helicopter and can maybe pass as Cybertronian, and Apeface's jet mode is alien enough, but not his gorilla mode. They were all likely meant to come out in 2020, but Hasbro scrambled to put together just one more wave of Siege product to meet demand for the holidays this year. It makes sense that they'd pinch from the next series to come and just push up the production schedule a bit on the Earthrise plans.

I'll stick with my Takara TR version. That "battle damage" on the shuttle mode is bleh and it just seems redundant at this point to have another one so soon. I dunno. I'm glad a lot of people will be happy with him, though.

Scored the fan vote 3-pack and the wave 4 Micros tonight. Gotta say, I think Powertrain and ironworks are 2 of the best Micromasters released.
Also, Impactor finally has his proper head and he is fantastic. He is now perfect. Aragon is very tight in a good way, his 2 halves stick together much better than Cog, and he is a better toy from that mold. He also finishes a great set of Powerdashers.
And then Mirage. Apparently he isn't very popular, but gosh I love him. he looks awesome! And can take some great effects pictures

I suspect the same with Crosshairs.
I agree, though it's again, understandable, given that the battle damage was likely a late edition to an Earthrise release to make it look more like it fit with Siege. Some other Siege figures have eschewed battle damage too, like Prowl, Bluestreak, and Smokescreen, but they can get by on being vaguely "Cybertronian" in design, which Astrotrain definitely cannot, so he needs something to fit the theme of Siege. Battle damage paint apps are an easy "fix."
Holy scrap! Impactor just punched the spark right out of him!

Man I am so into Siege Astrotrain, like completely, but I just cant see enough there to replace my Legends Astrotrain. Maybe if I see him really cheap I may. Though I did just get my Fan Vote Impactor and Mirage, love them. Aragon is a nice surpise as my first weaponizer, and has really tight joints. Actually all 3 do. This Impactor is the Impactor I have always wanted. Holo Mirage is cool enough and will be fun with actual Mirage.
EDIT: I also got the 3 pack for 25$

Astrotrain's car/launchpad makes me want a 5-car train combiner. Steam engine, maybe a coal car, maybe a tanker car, maybe passenger cars, and a red caboose. Or maybe an Amtrak style train. But I think I would enjoy the old style train more.

Those pictures made me think of a new version of the Mirage character and his abilities that would be cool to maybe do in a future story.
Instead of Mirage's ability to go completely invisible, his ability is to detach his "spirit" from his body as a holographic projection that can go clear when he's standing still but is visible if he moves, he wouldn't be able to interact with anything by touch but would be weak to electromagnetic weapons or things like Starscream's nullray which could risk Mirage to destabilization.

How is he too small? He scales really well with the rest of the cast, Astrotrain has never towered over the likes of Megatron in the toon. That's the scale guide hasbro are working off, and I think it's a step forward if the figures while not big, are not slouching off using the plastic to fill out any hollow parts.

I agree, way too many think that he has to be super tall to justify the price.
This wouldn't be a voyager figure, even removing the cab and extra weapons he would of probably been more hollow at that price.
Astrotrain hasn't been some giant guy in robot mode, that's only ever applied in shuttle mode but this was also in the same series where everyone's sizes changed whether it was animation errors or if they mass shifted when turning into vehicle mode.

I don't believe they have been officially released, but I do think Hasbro has let some select partners like Siebertron himself have an early preview of the figures, hence the great batch of new photos.
That is weird that the Amazon Listings for the last Siege wave has either gone to currently unavailable (Crosshairs, Spinster and Astrotrain) or just flat out dissappeared like Apeface. I have all 4 on pre-order (I jumped on them as soon as they were announced), and clicking on Apeface goes to a "page not found" screen.
Also weird are the different expected dates for each of the figures on Amazon compared to Pulse. Amazon has Apeface as mid November, Astrotrain as early December and Spinster/Crosshairs as early January. Pulse had everyone except Astrotrain as early December and Astrotrain as early January.
I've had a mixed bag with Amazon for their earlier than Pulse release dates. I got my Jetfire and Thundercracker earlier than Pulse had them, but Mirage did end up getting pushed back to match up with Pulse.

Get two more "Holo Mirage" figures and you can have Mirage unleash some Street Fighter Alpha styled Super Combos on Impactor!

So over the course of the last week I got my hands on Mirage, Barricade, the Fan Vote 3-Pack, and Selects Hot Shot and Cromar. All of them have been great, been having a great time, I may do a post actually going over how I feel about them in detail later like I've been meaning to since last week.
The point of this post, though, is a warning for those who aren't/haven't been being careful, because after owning and transforming Mirage for exactly a week today the clear plastic pegs on his legs that peg into the torso during transformation broke while I was transforming him back to bot mode. His alt mode is still functional, as the tabs on the torso and the arms hold him together, but it doesn't make me not annoyed, especially since I KNEW that there was risk of this happening to those tabs because multiple people pointed it out and I tried to be careful, but getting those tabs to peg in and come back out required way more effort than it felt like it should.
So yeah, there's my cautionary tale. The figure's still functional, but I feel like he just dropped in my rankings of the Siege figures I own now.

Siege cell-shaded Optimus Prime and Megatron as well as Bluestreak and Soundblaster were all spotted in a new display at a Walmart in East York, Pennsylvania.

That's a good way to say it.
He is like a hazy dream, a Mirage.

I really like him, especially how the shoulder guns combine into a 5mm double-barrel.

My Smokescreen arrived from Pulse today. I gotta say, i think thisvisvthe best deco on the mold. I think the paint really allows the canopy to pop and make for a less flat and more believable vehicle mode.

You really do. His paint job really makes the mold pop, so much more so than Prowl. I feel the same way about Soundblaster too. Trading the blue plastic for black and turning the optics and chest door red makes the mold look truly menacing. These redecoes RULE!
