More In-Hand Images - Takara Tomy Transformers MP-26 Road Rage

Hmm, RoadRage's red color looks better in these pics, maybe it's a trick of the lighting. She doesn't look as matte or de-saturated, and her face is really well-done. Is she actually shorter than MP Tracks or is that just perspective? Maybe Takara did something similar to what they had done with CHUG Wheeljack & Tracks' legs a few years ago, which were different length by a few millimeters.

Only lacking the blue lipgloss on the MP version. That would be gothic stunning!

Blue lips would have been amazing, and fitting this is a masterpiece figure after all. That would've been a great paint application.

But Animated's lips are red in that pic.

MP-26 Road Rage is a redeco and retool of the previously released Masterpiece 25 Tracks and this video review gives us a good comparison with some of the differences as well. Check out the video we've embedded below and remember keep your optics tuned to Seibertron.com for the latest in news and updates!

That's 2 in one for OPSG.

HLJ too, and put in a shipping request immediately.

Picked mine up at lunch time and had some time this evening to tinker with her a bit. Thoughts below, a bit stream-of-consciousness like:

Wish this also had a stand, but not the end of the world. Inner bubble was double taped, outer box just had one, wonder what caused that if they're all like that. Wish it came with a stand. Either I'm doing something wrong with the gun or she can't hold it well, probably the former. Not crazy about the head, the forward/back tilt on the neck has nowhere to lock in. Mirrors are a bit easier to get in as opposed to Tracks, likely due to the lack of a metallic painted overcoat.

Nice to look at, looks great when posed, but somehow I'm having a tough time getting her to stay together when moving things around. Painted details are super crisp, A+ job on that. Even Twincast's paint is superb for what it is.

Make sure the flat tab behind the gun handle goes into the slot on the top of the hand (same slot where the mushroom peg is). She holds it solidly.

Bingo! That did it. Thanks man.

They're supposed to be giving her a complement from behind right? Like the way construction workers do to human females?

That is the correct interpretation of the joke.
Thank you.

Now put a "Gangnam Style" background......and Roadrage proxies as Yuna......
