No, no easy fix...must...find...justification to buy a KO... Because, um, screw Takara...and all that junk...or something to that effect.

On a serious note, my hood lays flat with no issues already.

 

Question: What's stopping Tracks' elbows from bending more than 70 degrees? would it be possible to mod them so they dont suck?

 

I actually think Tracks' transformation was the most impressive of all the car bots that I have till date, I don't have any complaints at all about this figure.

 

The actual arm, and without cutting into the forearms I don't see any easy way to mod it.

 

I'm kinda late for the mp party but I got Tracks as my first mp. At first I was put off by the lack of weight since primarily collect chogokins and I have smaller ones that weigh much more than this figure. Also I had the first g1 transformers back then and I also remember them having lots of metal. Still the poseability and near anime rendition is miles better than the old toy designs. I was a bit bothered by the empty space on the back and the small shoulder weapon. I solved one issue by modelling and printing a slip on accesory to make the weapon look bigger and it does make Tracks look better to me.
