- The Astroforce is a group of drones from the cartoon portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
The Astroforce is a group of drones created by 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.
Fiction
The Transformers cartoon
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 and the Coneheads 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.
The remains of Astroforce ended up on the flooded city streets where maritime salvage laws probably applied. Triple Takeover
