This Tracks really disappoints me. I guess it is good for me though because it gives me 1 less MP to save up for.

I'll never understand why backpacks are such a complaint. 30 years of backpacks and it's never bothered me.

Outside of ones like FE AoE op I'm not bothered, heck I grew up in teh age of legendary backpacks with BW. No, what bothers me is his entire collar and chest cavity is empty and garishly visible.

Seconded. The backpack design could have been done better to eliminate the gap, which is the main complaint about it. it wouldn't be as bad if the hole were sealed up

The Sideswipe and Prowl molds both have the same issue. You can see right through them. People will get to use to this once it's in hand, and people who pass may regret it later. Par the course.

Its not the backpack itself, it's the gap between it and the body.

I have no issues with backpacks, sometimes I think they look pretty cool. Especially if you can shove weapons in them.

I remember when I was a kiddo my Joes with backpacks were the coolest.

Anyways, I came here to share a listing for MP Tracks I stumbled upon on Amazon (while stalking and pining) for $65 shipped. If this is legit, it ships 11/02 - 11/05 . It's slightly less than what BBTS and TFSource has listed.

Its amazing these two are almost the same size in robot mode, there's a little mass shifting going on through modern engineering.

I loved the fact that they color matched the paint job of the excellent car mode Alternator Tracks. The color was another of the details they got right about this Alternator mold.

They are amazing together. " Autobots roll out!"

I was just thinking this the other day. I remember how jazzed we were at each binaltech release, and how amazed at how awesome they looked. Now, I hardly think about them compared to the Masterpiece line. So funny how things change with time.

They're still amazing, especially in car mode; different, but amazing!

I have him on pre-order. My only nit-pick is that I wish the windows were tinted a little bit. I can ignore the hollow places by positioning and posing him the way I want.

Stolen factory samples, perhaps?

I'm so ready for this; haven't had a new Masterpiece in almost a year.

I'm so ready for this...I haven't had a new Masterpiece in almost two weeks. :-D

I'm so ready for this, but I probably won't get it in hand until December. I have a lot coming in this month and wanna save on shipping.

Truthfully, I won't see mine until Clampdown and Road Rage hit. I might (might) even wait until Ironhide comes out. Or, if they come in at different times, Tracks and Road Rage and Clampdown and Ironhide.

Shipping and all that.

I just usually like to ship all my pre-orders in a month at once, unless I need to review something. With Tracks it's going to be tough but I gotta be strong.

Worst week of the month to get it too because all the monthly bills fall due in the first week of the month. ugh.
