Road rage is crosscut's distinctly female, and distinctly badass bodyguard and advisor. Much like crosscut she was.an e.hobby exclusive repaint. Her deco was used by the club for sg tracks.

I really have to question ... why Tracks? We have a fantastic Alternator/Binaltech Tracks. Why push this guy through when there are other characters who haven't received Masterpiece, or near-Masterpiece treatment.

Most G1 characters can be milked for cheap repaints and remolds anyway.

-edit-

Just to clarify my point, Tracks can be done (as Alt/BT isn't exact I know) ... just down the track.

The details are good. He looks too slim though.

He should look bulkier. The G1 figure was quite cartoon-accurate, except the faceplate. The only way to surpass that with a masterpiece was to have the exact look of the cartoon character.

Okay, probably from the comics. Would be nice to have that repaint with a female headsculpt.

Actually she and crosscut were g1 characters, however their only fiction for a bit were their respective box info. Also technically they're some of "newest" G1 figures/characters, coming out in the new millennium, but still meant to be part of a 84 G1 continuity. Crosscut was only recently put in IDW's more than meets the eye comic as a side character, and road rage had a few glorified cameos in club comics.

I told myself that i would only ger MP10 and MP Sideswipe. Then i also bought Soundwave. If you get him you also need to get all his tapes so i did. Then i saw MP Prowl for a nice price and before i knew it i had all three Nissan's. It didn't stop there because i also bought MP Wheeljack, Bumblebee and Ultra Magnus. I told myself a few days ago that the only figure that i would still buy is an MP Jazz but now that i see MP Tracks.....damn you Takara for making awesome figures!

Fun part: She was also recently featured in Chromia's mini-manga, though that's probably because they were pretty much cramming all known fembots into that one :lol:

Perhaps that's why Tracks is made slimmer than his animation model? Or was that just a weird angle?

by **peaces** » Sat Feb 21, 2015 8:05 am

oldie but goodie. his slim profile makes him stand out.

Well I'm in. He looks really nice but since MP-10 what Masterpiece hasn't been near perfection.

I want Ironhide because I expect him to be a new size in the current scale (in addition to it simply being Ironhide), but good ol Tracks is one I had as a kid. I have a definite soft spot for the character.

Think $79.99 is a bit high. Thought the $65 Masterpiece Sideswipe price from years ago was fair.

That's what they've been charging for them since at least MP-14...for me that's a well-documented complaint. :lol:

Was hoping for Megatron and Ironhide, but Tracks is awesome. Cool design and great personality!

Hey, we skipped the silhouette stage and went straight to prototype pic! (: Looking forward to some better photos.

Remember, the first wave of TFs in Japan was our combined '84 and '85 waves, so Tracks, Red Alert and Smokescreen are still 1st wave for them.
That being said, preordered. If anyone's looking for a G1 Tracks with paperwork and box, that'll be going on ebay today. Just sayin'
