First Images of Takara Tomy Transformers MP-26 Road Rage finished vehicle mode

That is a slick toy. A slick car. A slick robot.

Yup. May have to after all.

I feel the same way but I have no clue who the character is, do you?

Nope. And I really don't care.


Also, as an Italian, the name Road Rage speaks to me on a cultural level.

She seems to be a diplomat/ambassador with anger issues too..

MANY APPEAL
SO DEEP
VERY ROBOT

The car mode looks great!

Im having a hard time convinving my eyes to see and believe this looks like a "female" robot. Its just not there... the rounder thighs and arms just dont do enough, it looks more like a teenage transformer. I believe woman come in all shapes and sizes, and yes even robots, but this just does not look enough like a female... a total missed opportunity...

I will buy it though, mainly because I want to encourage Takara to make more female masterpieces, and have a stronger representation of strong female characteres in the transformers universe. I plan to display Road Rage in car mode alongside the "fembots" Arcee, windblade and chromia standing by it...

Well, then you would fit right in here.

She also appeared in the BotCon 2012 script reading, in which she was voiced by Chris Latta's daughter, Abby Collins.

All she really needs at this point is a woman's voice coming out of her.

Was enough to turn this bot female:

Mmm.... tiny twincast

I agree, it really is nicely done, still I'm personally going to prefer the Alternator version over this when it comes to vehicle mode just because I think the C4/C5 Corvettes are a way better looking car than the C3's.

I actually like the subtle differences they did to the model (smoother forearms/thighs, smaller face and waste) to distinguish her from Tracks, but I think you're right. Unless you display her next to MP Tracks you probably couldn't tell off the bat that she was a she. She's a lot like RID Strongarm in that regard in that her vehicle mode doesn't blatantly reveals her as female like pretty much every version of Arcee does, and that's what what I really like about the model.

In all honestly if it wasn't for Strongarm's "eyelashes or lipstick" (or fact you get to hear her voice) you wouldn't be able to tell she was a she right off the bat. Maybe they should've consider the same for Road Rage, although I can't help but chuckle at the thought of a transformer wearing bright red lipstick.

Apparently, she's only got road rage in vehicle mode. Fiction is SLOWLY expanding for her.

Expect more then

I thought the price of the Masterpiece toys alone would fiance the production cost and new molds. Masterpiece toys are about voyager or leader size usually but always cost 4 times as much
