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!

Boxing and contents

 


 


 


 

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: Takara Tomy Transformers Legends Rewind and Nightbeat LG-28


                                                              



Aloha fans, we are back with another TF review, unfortunately I left the next insecticon at my brother's house during my staycation there. So now I am left to do a quick substitute until I reacquire the Fansproject figure. Today's feature is none other than Rewind, one the autobot cassettes created to combat Soundwave's Decepticon cassettes. Without haste, let's get started!

Boxing and contents.

 


 


 


 

Boxing is your standard Takara packaging with attributes and a comic book. I was confused by what was going on. But I found the synopsis page online nonetheless so here is the link:

Rewind

 


 


 

Rewind comes equip with a thin rifle which can be pegged to his right forearm or plugged on both hands. I love how he has his classic cassette look on his back but updated with icons such as the Wi-Fi bar, battery icon (he is down one bar), and familiar icons such as the Facebook icon that is shaped with letter T instead. His G1 inspired eyes looks alright. For once, I kinda do prefer the IDW Hasbro visor look. Anyhow, Rewind looks great here.
