 G1 Reissue Astrotrain Toy Review
Astrotrain's shuttle mode is the best of the toy's three modes, being nearly flawless in most respects-- the proportions are very good for a triple changer, and the color scheme varies enough between the white and the fl and there's enough stickers to make him look mildly interesting.
Astrotrain's train mode is the weaker of the two alt modes, though it's definitely a train in it's own right-- it's nice to finally have a REAL triple changer toy again, I'll tell you what.
Astrotrain's robot mode, on the other hand, is pretty laughable.

 Transforming Seminarian: The Mystery Revealed
For those who haven't followed Transformers since the 1980's, it's worth noting that the original Astrotrain was one of the very first "triple changers." A triple changer is, as the name might suggest, a Transformer with three modes instead of the conventional two.
In this case, the original Astrotrain was a robot, a locomotive, and a space shuttle.
A train is a connected series of vehicles, and therefore the original Astrotrain wasn't a train either.
