Astrotrain drops off a 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 them back if they happen to fail. While Combiners generally don't go inside him, they can squeeze in if they stoop low enough.
The interior of Astrotrain is essentially the base of operations and barracks 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 Astrotrain (probably) 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 dresses up for the Halloween and Christmas seasons; during Halloween he has green highlights and a witch hat, and during Christmas he has a reindeer nose, antlers, and a jingle. None for Thanksgiving or Chinese New Year though, maybe he just doesn't care for those holidays?
