    As you can see in that photo, Tracks is not the only candidate for that mask anyway. Let's wait and see.

    He does appear to have a flipping panel for the symbol which should satisfy two camps at once.

    Yeah, I would have been pretty disappointed if the car mode wasn't clean like all so far.

    The new pics make him look so damn sleek and well painted, the sheen of his paint is awesome. As much as I love the previous cars...Tracks may just be the best looking of the bunch, and maybe the best engineered.

    Huh. I just noticed his shins are flipped all around compared to the G1 toy. G1 had the car underside facing forward and the car front facing down. This has the car top facing forward and the car front facing up.

    Yeah, which makes it more screen accurate. If they did the legs G1 toy style you'd have the wheels sticking out the front which you never see in the animation model. I prefer how they've done it for this MP.

    Wow, those are some long forearms, MP-10 is going to have a rival for most-gorilla-jibes status.

    Not that I care - for a character I'm really not bothered about, Tracks is looking fantastic!

    Hell no. The black pretty much ruined Wheeljack. I'm happy they didn't make the same mistake twice.

    Ha ha. The screw holes in the shins of the G1 toy showed up in the animation model, and then they carried over to the MP figure as fake screw holes.

    For some reason, I love that. :D

    Also, the girl in the cartoon screenshot: because that's what you wear to the club. :p

    I think the current set up is less show accurate than having the wheels in the G1 toy style.

    In the cartoon the wheels were clearly visible from the front, as most often shown in this picture from Autobob (thanks):

    His cartoon depiction may not have the wheels may positioned the same as the toy, but this MP is even more different.


    Still, a very good looking MP. I do hope it's possible to swing that part around, because I would've preferred to have the wheels on the front.

    Glorious!

    Here are some more animation stills. I think TT made the right move with MP Tracks leg design.

    Pretty nice prototype.

    That'd be a nice bonus but not something I really need.

    Regarding a "Hoist Goes Hollywood" mask, I love MP G1 cartoon accessories as much as anyone and I'd be happy to have it but if TT doesn't make it I won't miss it. I'd only use it now and then in my display as a goof, especially since we don't have an MP Hoist, Sunstreaker, or any of the other Autobots from that episode who were on set. I'm more than thrilled with Raul, Blaster, and the display stand. That's more than I could've hoped for prior to the reveal.

    I'd rather have the Masterpiece Sunstreaker we should have gotten.

    They're not that long at all, though.
