:Astrotrain, like much of the ''Classics'' line, is an extensive update of the original Astrotrain design based heavily upon his cartoon appearances and using modern toy engineering techniques.  He still transforms into a NASA space shuttle, though there are two rather obvious locomotive front halves on the sides of the rear hull, and instead of a steam engine, his secondary vehicle mode is a [[wikipedia:Tsubame (train)|Tsubame]] [[wikipedia:800 Series Shinkansen|800]] bullet train.  His robot mode is based heavily upon his ''Generation 1'' cartoon animation model design, and is armed with a large purple laser rifle similar to the original toy's rifle (The side of the rifle has a [[Mini-Con]] shaped port on it, if one chooses to do it).  However, purple highlights aside, his deco's color scheme is predominantly based on the original Takara toy.
 
:A design fluke that was acknowledged on Hasbro's official Transformers website allows Astrotrain to connect to ''[[Transformers: Cybertron (toyline)|Cybertron]]'' Ultra Class [[Jetfire (Armada)|Jetfire]] or his redecos, ''Cybertron'' Sky Shadow or ''[[Movie (toyline)|Movie]]'' [[Jetstorm (Movie)|Jetstorm]], via his landing gear. (Coincidentally, Jetfire's alternate mode is based on a Ukrainian Antonov An-225 Mriya, which was used to transport the Buran orbiter, the Soviet [[knockoff|counterpart]] of the NASA Space Shuttle, on its back.)
 
:As with most ''Classics'' toys, he has a heat-sensitive [[rubsign]].
