![]() I shall return to completing my Astrotrain, Doubledealer and Octane. Luckily his wide footprints ensured his stability.įor more photos especially on how he transforms from 1 mode to another, visit my blog link below:Īfter this. He ended up top heavy with huge back kibble. Initially its a 2-blade prop, but I took the liberty to confirm my design by googling photos of seaplanes to discover 3-blade is much common. Propeller was the last thing I applied before wrapping this project up. This time around, due to complexity of triple changers. Usually I prefer to use real working tracks for my LEGO creations. *I actually initiated 5 other lego triple changer projects between this one. Nothing pleases him more than confronting an Autobot in a dark corner and making him wonder if he's up against one Decepticon or two. To this end, his Triple Changer abilities serve him well. It took me another year to put a closure to this due to me procrastinating* and felt unsure of its final color scheme. Astrotrain is a Decepticon from the Generation 1 continuity family. What a shame!Īnd off I go! First 3 months progress were really fast and I'm almost done building in 6 months. Since I am a fan of triple changer, I have been harboring intentions to build it one day, using LEGO of coz!Īnd that day finally came (early last year), when I discovered the toy prototype of this TF actually exists ,despite not being used in G1 Transformers (below). Has high-energy plasma-pulse gun and shattering vibro-ax in robot mode.This project was Inspired by a sketch shown in TF:Generations book published back in the early 2000's. Projects 80,000 volt electric field around himself in jet mode. 15,000 mile range, 40 knots maximum speed. Expands to 1200 ft length as carrier, capable of landing jets and carrying other Autobots. "ĭoesn't like transforming into carrier or jet - gets seasick on water, has fear of heights.(Just curious why choose those forms?) Effective, valiant warrior, but other Autobots wish he wouldn't gripe so much. Carries sandblaster gun that shoots streams of silicate particles that can erode anything.īroadside: Transforms into aircraft carrier/jet fighter:" I like the sea far away and my feet on the ground. As helicopter and buggy, he's adept at using rotors and exhaust to whip up blinding clouds of dust and sand. In battle, gets close enough to count the bolts in Decepticon armor plates. Anything less than dangerous is boring to him. Sandstorm: Transforms into helicopter/ dune buggy."When the smoke clears, I've cleared out."Īlways takes death-defying risks. "When the smoke clears, I've cleared out." Helicopter blade transforms into a light saber that can cut through concrete. In robot Mode, carries a laser that produces giant wind tunnels. Travels long distances with pogo-like motion. Possesses incredible "springing" power in his legs. Powerful Autobot fighter with a massive physique and an easy-going manner. Springer: Transforms into Helicopter/futuristic armored car."Strength is more than physical."Ī wise-cracking, sharp witted adventurer. Many of the new robots featured gimmicks, such as a continuation of the Triple Changers including Sandstorm, who transforms into a orange and black sandrail dune buggy, or a Sikorsky SH-3 Sea King. Realizing that they needed triple changers of their own, the autobots recruit their own triple changers against their fight against the evil decepticons. The third series of G1 in 1986 brought in the first waves of Transformers explicitly designed for the series.
