Toy Review: Transformers Takara Tomy Legends LG40 Astrotrain triple changer!

                                                                


Hello, hello, and hello! I've been busy with work and resting as much as I can, but I also wanted to take this opportunity to open up some of the figures my sister bought for me. In today is Legends Astrotrain, the triple-changer! Without delay, let's get started!

Legends Astrotrain LG40 comic sypnosis

Well, nice lookin artwork plus a funny comic till you reach the end part. I was chuckling for a bit to find poor Astrotrain maintaining a failing cargo transport company until he had a sinister plan towards the end. Anyhow, click on the link above to read the translation.

Warning: I made another blunder. I forgot that Astrotrain's robot mode had shoulder tabs so most of the shoot was missing the tabs.


Shuttle mode plus head master

 


 


 


 


 


 

Astrotrain's headmaster is a smaller version of himself basically. This is the default mode you get out of the box before you can transform him to his two other modes. The shuttle mode was ok. It was nice they painted the cockpit windows but to me this mode felt more like a space ship. There are some peg holes for you to just randomly place weapons. I have some example in the above pics. You can use mini-astrotrain to pretend as he is strafing his opponent. Not bad of a mode.

Toy Review: Transformers Takara Tomy LaserBeak (Condor) and Apeface LG38.

Happy New Year folks. Got out of my sick bed to review a figure. Today's focus is on one of Soundwave's minion: Laserbeak aka Condor in Japan and his partner in crime: Apeface. Without haste, let's get started!

Boxing and contents


 


 


 


 



Standard legends boxing. Comes with the comic book version from which I have no idea what's it about until I read this site: 









Robot Mode

 


 


With Legs
With legs 2



Red wings 1
Red wings 2



Better view of his face
Laserbeak is a beauty. Though I wouldn't find him a masterpiece of his G1 incarnation. He looks great here. I had trouble getting a decent shot of his face until I was able to do so on the last pic for this category. For once I used mainly flash and the flash obscured his legs due to the black flooring I used. He also had some red wings which I didn't shoot too much of because his left wing kept receding in. His right was sturdy but the left side kept sliding back in that I kept his red wings in from most of the shooting. Also too bad he does not have his wing rifles like he did in the cartoon. Would had made this figure really ideal to obtain.
