First Look at Transformers Hot Wheels Tracks Color Shifter

Posted by william-james88 May 26, 2025 at 12:56pm CDT 120,809 views
We knew we were getting a Transformers themed color shifter in the 3rd mix of 2025's Color Shifters but we just didn't know which one it would be. There have only been 2 "new" castings for Transformers Hot Wheels so far, Optimus Prime and Bumblebee so we figured it could be one of those. But no. Instead, Hot Wheels has picked a previously available Corvette casting with a plastic body, often used for more gimmick related sets. It being a Corvette, they have turned it into Tracks, with a body that goes from Blue to Black. So from Tracks to Loudpedal, if you want to see it through a more fun lens.

No way, Hot Wheeles Tracks is actually what I've been asking for. Now where the Metroplex racetrack? :michaelbay:


Bad timing though, saving up for something, I'm broke as heck :-(

G1 Tracks is a pleasant surprise. What is the price?

Perhaps the 2nd TF color change in that set could be G1 Wheeljack (Lancia Stratos).

I would like to see a G1 Ratchet. Color change to yellowing (how befitting) into an Emergency Green Ratchet.

If you can find it in the wild (retail), I thought these shouldn't cost more than a breakfast.

But it's WH... I think it's a collectable line not meant to enjoy except for scalpers, so yeah I understand.

Metroplex would be an awesome track set, but Trypticon would be even better. Hasbro made a Bayverse Devastator RPMs track set once, and Mattel had some half-heartedly made Bayverse track set too. But damn, with Hasbro & Mattel collaborating, it would be awesome to HasLab a premium Cybertron/Velocitron Speedia set with brand new HW molds with more verhicles with each Tier unlocks.

That's before all the Hot Wheels collectors buy them up the first day that they're on shelves, after camping out at a Target overnight. Expect to pay close to like $3 million on the aftermarket. :DANCE:

Yeah, I'm not Hot Wheels expert, sorry if I was expected to be. :lol: Hot Wheeles is pretty scattered around stores in my experience, there are huge bins or barely any shelf space and I honestly don't have a clue how I'd have a shot at finding a car I want out of a pile of thousands of them. I payed around 15 bucks for Optimus w/trailer, don't know the actual standard price he was supposed to be.


Also yeah, Wheeljack would be nice to see next. Don't know who would be a good idea after that, the lambo twins are too generic.

I've yet to see a G1 Bumblebee (yellow variant) on shelves Down Under. The 'Goldbug' variant was more readily available & managed to get one. Here's hoping Tracks is unpopular.

Every store that has Basic Hotwheels, I see a bunch of them taken off of the shelf pegs & lined up. You know a Hotwheels collector(s) has hit that store.

Noticed this tag at Target, hadn't noticed it before when trying to catch a Prime or Magnus.

Weird if that's the tag they're using for the regular Track Fleet line that just has one Transformer in the box, I'm hoping it means they're getting a case of just Prime and Magnus and maybe some others (the vehicle on the peg is the one from the Magnus assortment so I'm not getting my hopes up).

Target got soooo many complaints from whinging TF collectors missing out on the only one TF in the Trackfleet case assortment, they decided to put up a peg tag to trigger the TF fan base.

Has there been a confirmed sighting of Tracks yet? (apart from the FB marketplace).
Thanks

This question goes out to all you Hot Wheels collectors.

Does the Basic/Mainline HW come in 2 different size carded packaging? I'm familiar with the regular carded packaging but heard there is also a smaller carded packaging. Or is it a KO? It's in reference to the G1 Optimus Prime cab.

Thanks.

Color Change Tracks are showing up in US retail stores.

There are 2 per case but that doesn't make it any easier to find.

I picked up mine back on 8/24 at Walmart (posted it in the haul thread that day), didn't even realize it was a new sighting at the time. I'm surprised they're two per case, they had 5 between 2 pegs. No I wish I took a picture. The other Walmart that I usually hit twice a week also got them in, but someone grabbed all of the Tracks (along with case worth of AotP Sideways that had been on the pegs a few days earlier).

The 2 color change Transformers per case is quoted from william-james88' earlier post, who quoted Entertainment Earth.

I wonder if Walmart got a different assortment, there's no way they stuck three boxes on two pegs.

Sounds even better, if true. Can't complain with more additional Transformers per case.
