QUOTE (BlackBird @ Aug 13 2009, 02:40 PM) Soundwave's cybertronian jet was just the Satellite with two wings moved back to make it look like a jet. Most people would have probably just done that anyway without it being called a triple changers. It is crap and it is the same with Mixmaster. All he's doing is deploying a weapon. IMO, Soundwave's "space cruiser" mode looks more like a satellite...

Besdies the G1/Classic/Universe toys that were the original 6 characters Hasbro has labeled these guys as Triple Changers on the box: -Armada Laserbeak (2002) -Energon Scorponok (2004) Shockblast (2004) -Cybertron Megatron (2005) Anti-Blaze (2006) Checkpoint (2006) Scythe (2006) Cryo Scourge (2006) Galvatron (2006) -Animated Blitzwing (2008) -Revenge of the Fallen Mixmaster (2009) Soundwave (2009) I have no trouble with Armada Laserbeak, he...

Astrotrain isn't as complicated as you think, which only makes the toy better. You should pick one up and give it a try. They're pretty common and cheap in the auctions.

QUOTE (Th 4RL deal @ Aug 13 2009, 06:40 PM) Triple changers should have 3 reasonably distinct modes, not 2 modes and then one that isn't quite either. Yeah, on some of the scouts (like Ransack and Depth Charge) in the instructions they just stop half way in the transformation from robot to vehicle mode and call it a battle mode or something...

Once the toy leaves Hasbro's ownership(I.E, sold to stores and consumers), it doesn't matter.

^^^ Sorry, sorry, let me see if I can add something to the discussion... um... Triple changers should have 3 reasonably distinct modes, not 2 modes and then one that isn't quite either. Of course this isn't really adding anything to the actual discussion... maybe it would be fun to have a poll or something where we vote on which recent additions to the toy line should actually be considered actual triple changers or not. This post...

Not really since that's just the evolution of the concept design for his tank mode from early designs to final design. I just posted it to show that he isn't truly a triple changer since all he gains are stabilizer wings.

Well, unless Astrotrain has some sort of interior which is set on bearings with his outer shell, every time he goes from train to shuttle (or the other way) everyone inside will end up being thrown around like nobody's business! I was messing around with Mixmaster the other day and I'm sorry but "Battle Mode" cannot and will not count as a 3rd mode with regards to the term triple-changer. Neither will...

While the cockpit and front end didn't change much at all. his front wheels folded away to reveal the helicopter mode's weapon hard points, the rear unfolded into the tail assembly of a helicopter, and, of course the...
