but give me a repaint of Sideswipe into Tracks, thanks!

Please no, those dont even share a similar body type or transformation.

Not to mention car model (Corvette vs. Countach). Note that Tracks with Needlenose was an option in the poll that lead to Mirage and Impactor, so a rough design separate from Sideswipe should already have been made. Maybe next year?

Oh no, I was misunderstood, I meant ... instead of an Optimus Energon ... I would also prefer a Trank as a simple repaint of Sideswipe, then I know that sn is different both as a car mode and as a robot ... right ... but better a repaint that again an Energon Optimus: D I hope I have been clearer now

Hey Will would you stomach a Sideswipe repaint or retool into a Sunstreaker or would you want a whole new mold?

I know you didn't ask me, but for Sunstreaker, he needs his own mold or bust! His silhouette is so unique from Sideswipe's that a completely different transformation scheme would be needed to make him G1 cartoon accurate.

[Stargrave]

Oh no worries Wolfman I think I was just trying to get a feel for exactly what types of repaints or retools will make Will sour burp in his mouth

Sunstreaker was my very first Transformer ever. I would love to see him get a Seige mold to himself with those front end feet and the silver engine block. Man that takes me back. I'd love a removable hand so you could fit a yellow mold of that gyro blaster in there old school style.

I gotta say all this G1 awesomeness and yet we're missing a huge part of the original crew by not having a Legends class. It's bitter sweet for me because I love having the Micromasters buuuuut...you know what I'm saying.

On the subject of Sunstreaker, a friend of mine had a genius idea- making Sunstreaker, Wheeljack and Tracks retools of each other. They all have very similar transformations (car front becomes feet, car roof becomes chest, back of car becomes backpack, with wings in the case of two of them) and with modern Hasak's capacity for extensive retools I think it'd honestly work well.

I thought Wheeljack was going to be a "mini-van" if he gets made in Siege?

It's far from a guarantee, but this IDW cover (#12) has me more optimistic for Tracks in WFC. If you're going to do a new mold, it helps to be able to use it for multiple characters.

Except that that's Road Rage's Masterpiece design.

The current IDW comics use more than just Siege designs. Bumblebee has his MP-21 robot mode, Windblade has her Titans Return toy's robot mode, Cyclonus uses his CW toy design, etc.

Nautica! Uh and is Tracks a girl now? Not that there’s anything wrong with that just wow, different.

Like I said, it's no guarantee. And there isn't a new figure to use for the design - yet. But of all the characters to put on the cover and bring into the new continuity, why pick Road Rage? Not every comics character is going to get a new toy, but I would think that more likely for one like this, who has had very few toys and has never been an active character.

This is speculation, not a conclusion. But if we were betting on Tracks in WFC, I would put more money on that today than I would have yesterday.

That's Road Rage, Tracks' retool into a fembot.

She's the one on the left.

That's cool that we get some more familiar faces in the comics, but I don't think this is any indication of them appearing in the Siege line

[Stargrave]

Ok you all are amazing I love learning new stuff and I do it every day here. Just when I think I know so much, pshh, yeah right. I need to read up on this I haven't heard of this version of Tracks before! Thank you!

That’s right the red Tracks in the mural! I love deep cuts like that...Cuts! Crosscut! Ok now I totally need her to stand guard over my Generations Crosscut...

[Sabrblade]

That’s right the red Tracks in the mural!

Or, rather, the red Diaclone toy, as e-HOBBY was making new characters out of unused-for-Transformers Diaclone decos back in the early 2000s.

Minus Sunstreaker, that's pretty much what Hasbro and Takara Tomy did with Generations/United Wheeljack and Reveal the Shield/United (Turbo) Tracks.

[AcademyofDrX]

Also CW Sunstreaker and Jackie

Finally snagged Siege Voyager Prime from Walmart. After months of searching, he finally shows up at my local Walmart on clearance for $11.87. If you haven't snagged him yet, now's your chance

He is an amazing figure, and the most posable transformer in my collection. He will display excellently with my Siege Megatron

[Stargrave]

He's like a Revoltech he's the most poseable well styled and proportioned Optimus in my collection and dude, I've got too many Optimuses. He's currently my favorite.

$11.87? He's 29.88 at every Walmart in my dive.

I have no interest in or attachment to Tracks at all, but a retail Generations Road Rage would be awesome. Plus, if they make any more figures based off Guido Guidi's G1 art, there is another option for the Tracks mold:

Also, I don't buy Masterpieces so I don't recall for certain, but isn't there an evil black Tracks named Loudpedal or something?

Yep.

Am 90% sure he's based off the Diaclone Black Tracks from way back when, that I think also had a reissue in 2002

Can you post a pic of the reciept and tag? This would be news.

Close. He is indeed based off a Diaclone deco of the mold, one that was specifically exclusive to a store chain in Finland. But, the 2002 Black Tracks reissue, which was a Lucky Draw figure, had a rather different deco with a gold face instead of turquoise, among many other subtle deco differences.

No kidding huge news!


So I've been digging Galaxy OP and I've decided to pick up another one so I can enjoy Prime with upgrade armour and without. Next to voyager Prime it really is a cool figure...'nuff said!
