Um...are we really going back to the rubsigns, and why? They were nice enough, I guess, but I prefer having the faction symbol visible outright on the toy.

Yeah I'm not a huge fan of the rubsigns either. But Tracks still looks good. :3

It's very similar to Alternator Tracks in Robot mode.

I know generations is a throw back to G1 and all, but both tracks and thundering look ugly in my opinion. Compared to all the other fabulously detailed generations toy, these two look primitive. I'm all for the classic look, and these definitely nail it and look great if that's what you want, but it just doesn't look like it fits next to the others. Their paint jobs make them look more like prototypes. And like some else pointed out already... Rubsigns? Really? Wreck Gar on the other hand looks fantasmical! Maybe they'll look better in person... Thrust turned out to be really awesome when I wasn't so interests in him.

It's good to see that tampographs are back. The Universe 2.0 line was sorely missing these.

The robot mode looks a bit kibbly, but I'm sure it's still made of win.

The Generations line in the future is so FRICKIN' AMAZING AND TOO AWESOME TO LOOK AT, I will literally freeze myself cryogenically like Megatron in '07, and set a timer for my awakening. If you see some chubby 15-year-old drooling over these guys in a Wal-Mart near you, that's probably me. :lol: Don't start making fun of me now. :-(

The shoulders look substantially mistransformed - or more accurately misposed. The photographer seemed to be using the wrong joint for the shoulder joint - posing him correctly should give him nice broad shoulders at the appropriate level relative to his head, reducing the illusion of portliness his roof/chest gives.

Of course, I imagine the arms are mispositioned because of those doors on his sides being in the way, but I have a STRONG feeling those are either meant to fold back, or more likely fold down as a sort of kama (like on Alternator Tracks).

This thing must have a really complicated transformation if they keep screwing it up like this...

Anyway, I hate the legs, I despise the feet. A little too much Rotf*** happened down there Tracks.

Even though he's obviously mis-transformed, I think he looks great. I use to love rub signs, but now I don't know... I'm not too crazy about it. Mind you, I still can't wait to see some much better photos of this guy.

This may be a stupid question, but is this a repaint of Drift?

Of course not, its a completely different mold.

He looks mistransformed.

Hasbro appears to be incapable of properly transforming their own toys.

Hmm I just had a very pleasant thought for a repaint and remould. Obviously, we all thing Wheeljack needs a new mould unto himself. But my favorite TF, Downshift, could easily share this mould with Tracks without too many people complaining.

Remould the head, white paint and white plastic and he's pretty much a spot on from the second vehicle mode to the two missile launchers on both sides of his head.

DO WANT!

I hope this is just me, but his arms look really small. Overall, he bares a striking resemblance to his Alternators iteration. I just hope his arms aren't as small as they appear to be.

That's not a bad idea. I think its a very simple repaint that Hasbro can absolutely do.
