Games
Angry Birds Transformers
Astrotrain drops off the player's character at the start of an event, and then picks them up at the end. Astrotrain follows behind out of sight, ready to drop off and recall buddies, and brings back the player if they happen fail.
The interior of Astrotrain is essentially the base of operations for the Autobirds or Deceptihogs, as upgrading, recharging, customizing the characters, and claiming Mission prizes all takes place inside Astrotrain.
Notes
- At some point, someone decided to cross out the Deceptihog insignias on Astrotrain's wings and draw smiley faces next to them. Someone decided to remove them later.
- Though Astrotain lacks a robot mode, it appears that he is sentient, as can be seen in Energon Lockdown's cutscene. While Lockdown Pig was fighting piggies, Astrotrain had time to play soccer, go grocery shopping, and iron some shorts.
- Astrotrain dressed up for the 2015 Halloween and Christmas seasons; During Halloween he had a witch hat, and during Christmas he had a reindeer nose, antlers, and a jingle.
