HTI is returning to Nuremberg Toy Fair next year to showcase a new Vehicle Track Set based on the upcoming Transformers: Robots In Disguise animated series. This newsie received the news thanks to a subscribed Licensing Newsletter.
“With the Transformers: Robots In Disguise animated TV Series due in Q1 2015, HTI will be launching a new range of vehicle track sets, including the Optimus Prime Challenge Track Set which features 1:64 scale pull-back Autobot and Decepticon cars.”HTI displayed a similarly named Track Set during last year’s Toy Fair for [then upcoming] Transformers: Age Of Extinction. Check out the old commercial below:
Shepard Prime
I like the way you think!
LegendAntihero
I hope it's a track which makes cars run contentiously
BladeStorm
That set in the ad is sitting in Santa's sack for my son who couldn't keep his eyes off it when he saw it in our local toy store. It's been out here in Hong Kong for months.
I'm a little disappointed the cars are plastic, but having said that it was really cheap here compared to other Transformers merchandise.
There is also a Grimlock set where the cars drive down his back (from memory – these sets sold out from my local store a while back).
Basilisk
Dude
YES!
or even as the Spychangers that had axels.
i might buy this and just put Legions in it but i want to see pics first

Wow. That has virtually nothing to do Transformers. Unless Optimus Prime drives around with a track in his trailer and shoots cars out his "mouth" With only a few minor modifications and recoloring this could be My Little Pony.
LegendAntihero
I'll order a couple sets if they're Hot Wheels quality

Wasnt the witwickey motto, Never pull out! Never Surrender!
FrankTheFroggy
(In the voice) Whoa! There a squirrel in my back yard! It is heroically leaping across the 1 inch gap!
Autovolt 127

"OPTIMUS PUKES OUT BUMBLEBEE!"
"SICK THREE-SIXTY LOCKDOWN!"
I love these commercials.
DOTM Bumblebee
Meh, for this to be even remotely interesting, they should at least make the cars RPMs.
Oh, the jokes that this comment has made and will make…
Blazere
Slutimus Prime.
"Autobots, pull out!"
TCJJ
Yeah, okay, they took a toy from 20-30 years ago and stuck it inside Optimus Prime. Fantastic. You know, I miss some of those old Hot Wheels sets which were really friggin' crazy, and not just a single loop like this. At least those looked interesting, even if it took forever to get the cars to go around the whole track. And then you could never get it to work again.
Now if only they could figure out a way to do this and mix it with Duocons. That would be badass.
Mechafire
Shepard Prime
I would so be on this if they had combined this with the old battlechargers gimmick so that once they leave the ramp and launch they transform into their bot modes and collide and other things.
Tell me y'all wouldn't play that all damn day.
Otherwise, pass as it's just another non-transforming transformer.
Deceptigtar
great now i need the lockdown from the set.
crap.
‘Zakath
I'm just wondering why Optimus would allow Lockdown inside of him.
EDIT: Not remotely what I meant.
