: Astrotrain is a [[Retool|retooled]] ''[[Armada (franchise)|Armada]]'' [[Jetfire (Armada)|Jetfire]], transforming into a Cybertronic space shuttle, in a gray and purple color scheme that is a (very) loose homage to [[Generation 1]] [[Astrotrain (G1)|Astrotrain]]. Since he is the Jetfire mold, he can also form the lower legs for ''Armada'' [[Optimus Prime (Armada)|Optimus Prime's]] super mode. In shuttle mode, his Mini-Con partner Starcatcher can form his front landing gear. Placing Mini-Cons on the [[Powerlinx]] points on his wings drops the bombs stored underneath. He retains the electronic lights and sounds in his main thruster/blaster-weapon from the Powerlinx Jetfire version, uncommon among such low-run collector [[exclusive]] toys. | |||
: Aside from Starcatcher, Astrotrain also comes with a [[redeco]] of the [[Giant Planet Mini-Con Team]], named Astro-Hook (crane), Astro-Line (plane), and Astro-Sinker (submarine).

- Astrotrain (Ultra, 2007)
- Accessories: Electronic thruster-cannon, shield, 2 bombs
- Astrotrain is a retooled Armada Jetfire, transforming into a Cybertronic space shuttle, in a gray and purple color scheme that is a (very) loose homage to Generation 1 Astrotrain. Since he is the Jetfire mold, he can also form the lower legs for Armada Optimus Prime's super mode. In shuttle mode, his Mini-Con partner Starcatcher can form his front landing gear. Placing Mini-Cons on the Powerlinx points on his wings drops the bombs stored underneath. He retains the electronic lights and sounds in his main thruster/blaster-weapon from the Powerlinx Jetfire version, uncommon among such low-run collector exclusive toys.
- Aside from Starcatcher, Astrotrain also comes with a redeco of the Giant Planet Mini-Con Team, named Astro-Hook (crane), Astro-Line (plane), and Astro-Sinker (submarine). In addition to the Mini-Cons, an exclusive illustrated text story featuring Astrotrain, set in the Cybertron series, was made available to club members online.
- The toy was released in March 2007 as one of the first exclusives available for purchase to Transformers Collectors' Club members. Well, sorta technically the first. He ended up being available at the same time as the Club's exclusive Dawn of Future's Past Airazor toy, but Astrotrain was the first Club exclusive advertised. And that's also not counting the "free" club figures available with subscriptions but which were also available to those who subscribed late.
- This toy was later repurposed to also be the heroic Shattered Glass Astrotrain.
