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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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!

That's cool to hear, I really think Galaxy OP is a great figure, as great as Magnus.

I will gladly find the receipt for you guys, but right now I can't find it. I'm one of those weirdos who keeps receipts, and I remember putting it on my table next to me, but this morning, it's nowhere to be found. I really hope I didn't misplace it, but hopefully I will find it

I encourage others to check their Walmarts to see if others have this, and it's not a mistake at my local ones.

[AcademyofDrX]

My local Wal-Mart has Optimus and Megatron at the regular retail price, I think that's $29.84. I checked using a customer price scanner. It's not news.

Then perhaps it's a mistake or glitch at my Walmart? I would have gotten the rest of the Voyagers there if there were the same, but the "clearance" price only applied to the lone Siege Prime there, so I can't really explain it. I'm still looking for that receipt though, so when I find it, I will post

[Microbot]

..And what do you think if they decide to put in this line the clones? We can't get from PoTP both clones from both Decepticons and Autobot if you don't buy an exclusive pack ( we never arrive in Italy BTW )...but maybe in this line, we can get them in a 2 pack with more details and more better shape into a Deluxe class? What do you think?

[Nemesis Primal]

...so I read the latest article put up about the card game again out of curiosity, and I think I see another potential first look at a figure. Last time I did this, I got shot down pretty quickly, but I think this might be accurate, given who it is:

-We know Ratchet is coming already
-That does appear to be the Ironhide mold
-Has the cartoon-accurate white helmet and black crest I recall most people on this thread expecting
-Most importantly, this card is a DIFFERENT design for Ratchet than the one on his individual card, as his individual card looked to be based off the old Universe mold

So if I'm right this time, then Ratchet absolutely has a molded-on lightbar like I was hoping, a cartoon-accurate head, and possibly those accessories? I'm taking the accessories with a grain of salt for now. I know Ratchet appeared in his Siege design in the new IDW run already, does anyone who's seen it want to confirm or deny this?

I bet that's where the Prime Vehicon design came from... I'd have bought a "road rage" of that mold x5 lol

Takara sold two-packs straight up didn't they?

Yes they did. And they were not exclusive.

Personally, I'd only buy 4, specifically a Loudpedal and 3 Vehicons. Mostly because as much as I'd love to army build, it's hard to justify the price and space taken up so I'd have Road Rage with his 2 "thugs" and then the third vehicon I would customize into Knockout based off of some fan art I saw of a triple changing version of him

Red Alert's lightbar looks fine in these pics.

Guidi got the inspiration for that 'purple Tracks' Vehicon art from the Prime Vehicons.

Like how he got the inspiration for his 'dark Prowl' Barricade art from Movieverse Barricade.

Yes, but Not available in Italy for example even if you buy from some good online stores

Then buy from an online store that ships to Italy.

That's a relief! I wonder why Red Alert's light bar looked almost black in the product and in-package photos a month or two ago? Also, something I didn't realize before, is that Red Alert's light bar is clearly a different mold, not just a re-use of Prowl's light bar. Another observation: Springer's legs look even bluer now. I'm sure that'll turn more people off, but I like how it looks with the different shades of green, honestly. It's not that far off model, kind of like that Hasbro Anniversary Edition of Unicron with the gray parts as bluish gray instead.
