TakaraTomy Transformers MP-25 Tracks and MP-26 Road Rage Comparison

Posted by shajaki May 2, 2015 at 9:30pm CDT 27,485 views
Seibertronian Cyberpath has brought some new scans of Shock Hobby Magazine to our attention (via TAG Hobby) featuring comparison shots of TakaraTomy Transformers Masterpieces 25 and 26, Tracks and Roadrage! While we've already seen Tracks in color, they may have opted to photograph the pair in the prototype grey so we could see the differences clearer. Roadrage obviously has a a brand new head, but also a new (toy accurate) gun and possibly remolded thighs of all things. Keep scrolling to see the scans, and keep your optics tuned to Seibertron.com for all your Transformers News!

I know this wont be completely masterpiece related. But THIS is EXACTLY how you turn a TF mold originally designed for a male, female. The amount of remolding done is MINIMAL and yet accomplishes SOOO much.

That being said. To all the naysayers about how the combiner wars figures couldn't possibly become female, I now have the masterpiece Road Rage card I can pull out. THIS is the kind of remolding I am expecting when it come to combiner wars Victorion and her component bots.

A few MINIMAL changes and some slight smoothing out of some corners can go A LONG way.

*slow clap*
And I can't wait to see how they turn out. I mean, these slight changes to the Tracks MP make a massive difference and look great.

I spy with my little eye:

New head
Rounded thighs
Smaller waist plate
Smaller round biceps
Different upper chest molding
Smaller hands and bulkier right forearm?

Did I miss anything?

I'm really hoping she comes with a faceplate in liu of a figurine. I really can't imagine why she wouldn't.

The upper arms look to be more cylindrical.

I really appreciate Takara's efforts at retooling Road Rage as much as possible, but the head seems rather small now. Could just be the angle of the pic, though.

Wouldn't that be the biceps he mentioned? Anyways, I really like the look of both of them and I may need to pick them up when they come out. Is there a speculated date for when either will get released?

Sorry. I must have missed the memo that stated "cylinders aren't round."

No need for snark, pal.

It was gone 6am and I hadn't been to bed. Genuine mistake, is all.

Road Rage, Bluestreak and Tigertrack are probably going to get displayed in the Dialcone sub-display I'm going to have to create to accomodate the mainline characters.


Or maybe I'll just get a bigger shelf.

Can't wait to see her in color! I'm overjoyed :) Anyone know when she will be released?

I am liking the way this figure looks. There are enough differences that with the right paint application this could be great.

Looks to me like they did; hers appear slightly slimmer than Tracks'.

I'm having a hard time seeing the super drastic difference everyone is saying, but hopefully that's due to the prototype grey, I hope we get colored images soon!

They're not super drastic. Just a new head and rounded thighs, maybe a few other tweaks

A bit of hyperbole but you can tell the difference.

It's probably the angle at which they're posed in the picture, but doesn't it look like Tracks is slightly taller?
