So, I've got an RTS Tracks, but I'm thinking of replacing him with the united version.
The reason for that is the United looks so much nicer, plus my RTS version has a warped part that well, kinda ruins the alt-mode.
Now, I don't want to get ridd of my RTS Tracks and want to keep him, just not as Tracks.
So is there any character I could use him for? Anything G1 or G2.

G2 Boss. Nightbeat.
Only problem here is, besides being blue sports cars, they have nothing in common, and tracks is missing alot of the yellow those two have. I don't know...

Repaint/Customize/Kitbash him in someone else.

Yea, those two won't work, but I just realised.
The Generations Drift/ Blurr mold looks exactly like what a Classics Boss would look like :shock:

, all it needs is a different head and gun. Maybe a remold to fit it on the car mode.

I have a defective RtS Tracks with a warped face, I plan on customizing him with a new head (possibly one with a faceplate) and repainting him, but haven't settled on colors yet.

Perfect, he won't even need a new head, just different paint!

Thanks, that's what I'll use him as.

Glad to be of service.

I'll just need to do something about the legs, to get them in the Wheeljack position while still having knees. But I believe there's a part on Shapeways.

But getting back to Boss, I just checked. You can totally mod the alt-mode to have the gun in the hood. The middle is comprised of two panels that flip over the sides in bot mode and is hollow underneath!

All you need is a gun that fits in there and covers the head, you can simply flip the panels into their bot-mode position for alt-mode, so you won't even have to damage the toy.

Damn, now I need two Blurrs.

Fair enough if you're decided, but if a big repaint is on the cards there's always Diaclone black or Binaltech yellow options. The black would compliment Marlboor.

Neither are strictly in the G1-G2 bracket though, being a preTF and a later retcon line.

Dammit, Dead Metal! I don't even have one Blurr and now I want 2! Always loved Boss' Batmobile look. Gonna need to get some neon pink paint or something though.

Why not paint him white, and make him G1 Omnibot Downshift?

Admittedly easier to do with a Wheeljack version of that mold...
