This site already reported on it. It was a bad photoshop from 4chan with Hound's name slapped on it.

Tracks looks great. I'm glad he wasn't delayed like I heard he was

I'm still hoping that gap in between the backpack and chest is not that bad. I'm not liking that much hollow

He was delayed from shipping at the end of September to early November.

But that's what the engineers had to work with. Track's original G1 design is more than epected to have a hollow back part.

Yeah I could tell even before comparisons that Tracks was a bit taller than the other car bots. I hope Hot Rod is about the same height. Tracks seems to be about the size of a large voyager.

Hot Rod ought to be even bigger than Tracks. Somewhere more around Ironhide's height.

Ugh...I concur...Worst Sideboob Ever! Not all angles can be as great as face on with Tracks.

~reluctantyouth~

I think that the backpack is mis-transformed.

Ok sorry, I copied the url, since I can't see some images on Seibertron.com, and pasted it in Google, and came up with this image:

Supposedly that's a shot from Transformers Armada, so I assumed that was the real image... I'm so confused. :BANG_HEAD:

Don't worry I got the real image:

I may have copied the wrong image or something...

Indeed you did. That purple pic was posted in the MP Shockwave thread, not this one.

YES! I remember. Gosh I'm stupid. :BANG_HEAD:

Anyways... THAT IS ONE SEXY COLLECTOR CARD! I love the art. I am an artist myself, so I am very interested.

Tracks looks amazing.

Everything is awesome.
...when you're part of the team.

Takara Tomy's Tranformers Masterpiece MP-25 Tracks has been peeping its head prior to the release date for quite a while now - in some local markets and distributions anyway - but we also have a new addition via Seibertron's podcaster ScottyP in the form of a video review (in Chinese) of the new figure and mold! Check it out embedded below.

Hmmm. Much more delicate and spindly than Wheeljack. Looks like you will have to mess with the legs quite a bit to get him to stand directly. The hollowness of the midsection when in robot mode just kills it for me. I'm also not a fan of that head sculpt. This is a bummer. Wake me up when Takara takes on the likes of Trailbreaker, Hoist, or Brawn. I want to see some trucks other than Prime and Magnus. The fact that were getting Shockwave, Arcee, Ironhide, and Hotrod 2.0 don't thrill me either. :BANG_HEAD:

Hollowness in the legs plus its the first review it could change plus its unlikely the legs just won't stand on the actual release plus ironhide looks great so why come you don't like him?
EDIT:we don't know if we are even getting arcee its possibly debunked with hound being on it

I thought MP Arcee was bogus. I for one can't wait for Tracks. That metallic blue looks great, and makes me wonder if the hasbro version will be flat blue like the OG toy.
