In a line that tries its best to minimize the number and severity of compromises, going a step or so backward in the articulation department on Magnus, and now on Tracks, is a huge let down for me.
In the first picture his waist is definitely turned, which is what makes him seem "thin".
I think he's looking much better than the first picture and I expect him to look even better once painted prototypes are revealed.
Hmmm...

Well I'll be... the waist is turned. I happily retract my statement!
I also expect the color protos to look better; he'll probably be more finely tooled to fit together a bit better as well.

It looks like the side panel is there to try to fill out the back but on the backside it appears so far to be hollow or extremely minimal. The backside reminds me of the Universe/Classics Inferno/Grapple mold, which is probably the best example I can think of offhand. Ok for a regularly priced retail figure, not acceptable for a Masterpiece figure.
The clarification helps - I see what you're saying. But I would hesitate to say possible hollowness is unacceptable until we know the extent of it. So long as whatever hollowness exists can be largely hidden by panels (in the vein of MP Sideswipe's legs), it probably won't be too bad.
At any rate, hopefully more photos will be leaked soon, and we'll know for sure.

I can't tell if you're saying that because you're that impressed by CW Devastator, or if you're saying that as an insult to the MP line. Either way you're wrong IMO.
I'm not too worried about any of the pictures of Tracks. The early shots of Wheeljack had me very worried, but once we saw him in color all of the strange gaps went away, or at the very least blended in. Remember, at this stage the parts don't always snap together properly (or they don't want them to incase of breakage) so there's going to be gaps.
I'm actually happy to see him as a little skinny, makes the rumor of Road Rage coming after him all the more likely.

Emerje
I'm saying both. Humbly, I'm wrong in your opinion.
Sometimes I wish the bar wasn't set so high for the first Prime (Optimus) and so low for the last Prime. (Rodimus)
The ditching of all the diecast isn't totally lost on me. Soundwave had minimal metal and was pretty great. I haven't heard anything bad about Wheeljack yet despite the lack of metal.
Hollow. That might be the magic word.
It's just a prototype and I'm sure it'll look better in color but at this point, as great as it looks, there's something to be desired...Something.
edit: I'll be taking a black MP-25, thank you.

Should we be concerned about the inclusion of the extras? Aren't they normally used to make up for a smaller or less impressive figure?

I wouldn't. Most of them have come with at least a few accessories, regardless of size.

Awesome, can't wait to get the KO version at $30 in about six to nine months! It will go great with my KO Prowl, Sideswipe, Silverstreak, Red alert, and Smokescreen.

HERESY!
Anyways, in all honesty, this may be one of my favorite MPs to date. Tracks was a favorite of mine from G1, and got a fair share of valuable screen time, too, unlike some other favorites of mine *coughProwlcough*. The mini Blaster just makes things that much better.

Yeah, he basically got two whole episodes to himself in season 2. Can Prowl or Bluestreak say the same?
