Astrotrain is a Triple Changer who can assume the form of both a steam locomotive and a space shuttle. He was named among the top selling toys in 1985 by Playthings magazine.
Astrotrain's Marvel and Dreamwave bios both state that he loves using his Triple Changing abilities to create confusion among his enemies, enjoying the fear in their eyes in the moments before he destroys them.
Astrotrain was named the 3rd oddest thing that G1 Transformers transform into by Topless Robot.

Famous quotes containing the word generation:
“The world is never the same as it was.... And that’s as it should be. Every generation has the obligation to make the preceding generation irrelevant. It happens in little ways: no longer knowing the names of bands or even recognizing their sounds of music; no longer implicitly understanding life’s rules: wearing plaid Bermuda shorts to the grocery and not giving it another thought.”
—Jim Shahin (20th century)
