Oh, yeah! I think you got it.



It's like how Wheeljack's Immobilizer was packed with Exhaust.

I posted quite a bit before

It's Tracks' missing butt-plug.

Quite a few people and Retailers emailed us these pictures a bit before your post.

Thanks,

Yup. Sharing is caring!

I said it before. Her waist is too small. Her hips should be as wide, if not wider, than her chest for a traditionally feminine appearance.

I bet that's the problem

I was going to say "exhaust-plug".

Yup I'll definitely pass on this.

She looks lovely! Can't wait to put her with Tigertrack. Would be nice to have the mouth plate in there though, maybe could have been a swappable face? (like BB)

As for the silver thing, I go with the person who said it's a beam gun for the front of the flying car mode. Tracks used one in the show at least once I think. It will probably be compatible with his MP too.

Looks great, although I thought she was a Decepticon.

For anyone who says she doesn't look female enough, you guys must have a total conniption with Strika's build. Hate to break it to ya, but the female body is just as diverse as the male body. Most bots who mimic males demonstrate this characteristic, so there's really no reason a fembot should be different.

Not trying to be PC here; that's just how it is.

Well, I think it's mostly the face. They tried to give her fuller lips and a different eye shape, but it somehow ended up looking like a child making a duck face while crossing their eyes; that is, goofy regardless of gender. Unprofessional for either a bodyguard or alien diplomat.

Toys' lips can be really tricky to sculpt right, even if we're not talking robots. I recall the first Marvel Legends Scarlet Witch had a similar problem and had to be redone. As for this new Leiji...that's the official face, so (sigh) 3rd Parties, it's been headballed into your court. Knock it out of the park.

Ya don't say...

Fembots are scarce. It would be nice when we get one that it'd be recognizable, whether it's Strika's build or Blackarachnia's. Strika still looks feminine with her deco and babushka, and Strongarm does as well with her lips and sculpted chest plate. This looks like a guy, point blank. I already have 100's of male figures... don't need my fembots looking like males as well

It looks as feminine as Cybertron Override.

Huh, I guess I'm the only one who's really liking the look of this. I thought they did a good job making her look like a fembot.

But seriously, that silver thingy looks like a dildo. I suppose even giant robots need winding-down time...

Double post. Whoops!

It's a decent enough stab at making it a femmebot. Definitely more than I was expecting. Without being a completely unique mould I don't think there's more they could have done. WAY better than G1 Road Rage.

Who's cartoon appearance and figure were designed as male until Cartoon Network decided to dub the character as female. Tracks could have been designed from inception to have a more feminine retool counterpart

...At the expense of making him look extremely girly and not at all cartoon accurate, yes.

Retools come afterwards (or sometimes before)... I didn't say repaint. A retool has no impact on the initial release. This seems like an afterthought and could have been engineered way better if done from the get go. And if this was the plan from the beginning, I think they failed at having those slight retools translating into being a female character.

I'm dying! This is only going to give those who insist Tracks is gay more ammo

"Oh mai god, road rage is a retool of tracks, yet she still looks like tracks, how could this happen?"
You people seem to overreacting to this, you knew when you went in this would be a retool of tracks, and you seem to have expected getting a new mold from this. Gee I wonder if roadrages past toys are known for their femininity?

Oh, look at that, even the club's roadrage/sg tracks proxy, looks like tracks. I wonder why. It even goes back to g1, there must be some sort of conspiracy here. That's sarcasm.

Double post please delete.

Nope, I think she looks great as well.


Just waiting for HLJ to open preorders so I can order two of her.

There's an awful lot of rage in here. you might even call it... road rage.
