	*The locomotives that Astrotrain recruits appear to be based mostly on experimental ~~streamliner diesels~~ from the 1930s, ~~such as~~ the ~~Union Pacific~~'s {{w\|~~M-10000~~}} and the ~~Burlington~~'s ''{{w\|~~Pioneer Zephyr~~}}'', ~~though one locomotive resembles~~ the {{w\|~~Pendolino~~\|~~Italian ETR 401~~}}.		*The locomotives that Astrotrain recruits appear to be based mostly on experimental streamlined trains from the 1930s-50s.
			**The black, dark grey, and yellow train (Train #1 in the model sheets) is directly based off of the Burlington's ''{{w\|Pioneer Zephyr}}'', the first streamlined train put into regular service.
			**The black, grey and green train (Train #2 in the model sheets) is mostly based off of the German National Railway's ''{{w\|DRG Class 05\|Class 05}}'' express steam locomotive, with the addition of a cab window in the front to make it look more akin to a diesel like the other two types of trains in the Astroforce.
			**The black, grey and red train (Train #3 in the model sheets) is based off of the German Federal Railway's ''{{w\|DB Class V 200\|Class V 200}}'', a diesel that replaced the Class 05 in pulling express trains.

	The '''Astroforce''' is a group of drones created by [[Astrotrain (G1)\|Astrotrain]] out of [[human]]-built trains. They manage to move forward without aid, but unfortunately are unable to grasp such concepts as "Brakes" and "Stop!" and "That's a water main!". This is probably because Astrotrain modified them with parts out of a human-designed Railroad Dispatch system (essentially a glorified LED display), which the Triple Changer believed to be 'the latest in computer controls'. Sure Astro, sure.		The '''Astroforce''' is a group of drones created by [[Astrotrain (G1)\|Astrotrain]] out of [[human]]-built trains.

	Having chased off the humans, Astrotrain proceeded to modify a number of trains into drones and instructed them to gather energy. The results were less than spectacular. When [[Thundercracker (G1)\|Thundercracker]] and the [[Conehead]]s checked up on Astrotrain, he took them to see the Astroforce... which had managed to crash into a mess. One lone train still functioned, and Astrotrain instructed it to tap a gas main. Turns out trains can't tell the difference between gas mains and water mains.
