looking good. It's going to be such a long wait for the black version that I want.

He may be big, but I'm okay with the size -- even though he will tower over IF Exhaust and Jazz. I've always considered Tracks to be bigger due to the toy.

 

How limited exactly is Road Rage anyway ?

------

As for Track's size - think he's fine. He's no more than a tiny bit taller than Hound, Sideswipe & the Datsun Bros, he's plenty shorter than Blaster or Hot Rodimus or a Vecma Headmaster.

I don't mind to much about the Minibots being Hasbro Legends scale really, It means I can use the Hasbro ones with the MFT ones without complaining about the lack of certain characters - but if there was a size a little smaller i'd not mind. (I buy various scales anyway)

I can hope Vecma might make Snapdragon and Apeface sometime this year. But i'm looking forward to an eventual Skids and Sunstreaker mould too. I would perhaps see Ironhide/Ratchet as a "little small" but they are not wildy tiny. I'm more bothered about temporarily missplacing his van mode accessories to easily.

Loud Pedal would complement the Detritus like "Desert Hound" nicely too. Other than that I am looking forward to some more slightly larger F-15's I'd not say not to one of the niche Manufactures having a crack at Galvatron either and make him about the same height as Blaster.

The Magic Circus Cyclonus is my fav - I just wish he was a little bigger - so perhaps one of the niche Manufactures might overscale him.

 

Just got Flywheel in, so some size comparisons:

Being Legends+, he's a little big for the NA and MS cars. Though if you get it at the right angle, you can make them look the same size:



But he fits in fine with his own line:


But again, being Legends+, still too big for MS and NA:


(Well, he's the same size as MS Grapple and Trailbreaker)

Alas, I'm just disappointed if a Loudpedal deco comes out (fingers crossed!), I won't have an Exhaust appropriately sized for it:


Speaking of sizes, it is interesting how Dr Wu Soundblaster kinda fits with the Blaster that comes with this:



Flight mode:

Or rather flight mode 1. There's barely a difference between it and the other flight mode though.

Wasn't expecting Rapid Speed so soon, but got it from TCP today:


This time, flight mode 2:

Since the figure didn't have Road Rage's curves, I had badged it up with an SG Autobot symbol and intended to repurpose this as SG Tracks. But I realized this actually has a different, more feminine head as opposed to a recolored one:

So I gave her a normal Autobot symbol instead. Plus, the boombox coming with her is most definitely Twincast and not SG Blaster. (Not that I have any micro sized SG symbols to put on it if it was!)

 

This guy arrived last week only just had a chance to open him up.

 

Love this guy, but those damned instruction make no damn sense  

 

From MFT MS25 Flywheel - 3rd Party - SirToys.com

Love this fella, transformation is amazing!

 

Got a few new bots the other day that I haven't been able to fully check out yet, but been anxiously awaiting this guy and right out the box love the fact it's the 1st MFT carbot that can fully fit inside my Jinbao OP trailer  


He can't drive right in past the doors, but with a little tilt, once inside fits perfectly!

 

And Do you think it enters the trailer for HS OP?

 

Do you think wings and head could be switched easily between the two?

 

Heads are held together by a screw you can remove easily. The Tracks version even has an alternate head you need to attach this way.

Wings are riveted and would be hard to swap.

 

I am sorry for the wings  

 

I received my Tracks yesterday from Toy Dojo and I was able to check it out last evening. I can confirm that he does indeed fit in the HS Prime trailer:


Much like @TurtleCaps was describing with his Jinbao trailer, you can't drive him straight in but with a little tilt through the doors he fits in just fine.

I've been able to spend a little time with Tracks and so far I'm really liking this figure. The sculpt and finishes are great and it seems nice and sturdy. The transformations appear to hold together well. I agree with @Destron1 above that the instructions are pretty muddled. Is there a way to "snap" his back section in place? It's the only part of the bot transformation that wants to move a bit when you are messing with him. I was able to check the HS Prime trailer fit for @gfhs2003 above and I also took a few more comparison shots with my other bots:


I think he scales very well with Hasbro (POTP) Windcharger and MFT/Mechanic Studios Red Alert in vehicle mode. I felt like the vehicle mode for Iron Trans Smokescreen was a little large in comparison though (sorry forgot to take a picture of that).



The bot mode fits fantastically with my collection, so I am very pleased with that. He's pictured above with the Windcharger and Red Alert previously mentioned, HS Optimus Prime, and season two buddies MFT Blaster (wondering how he is able to be two places at once), Hasbro (CW) Powerglide and Iron Trans Smokescreen.

Its amazing how Windcharger and Tracks are essentially identical vehicle sizes but the transformation of Tracks simultaneously slims him down and increases his height to the point that they are two very different size bots. The detailing on Tracks and his accessories is very well done and I believe the paint apps are a bit of a step up from previous releases. I hope they keep going with this level of detail on future figures especially their upcoming Hot Rod, Arcee and Sunstreaker. The only thing I was a little disappointed in was the detail on the wheels. They really nailed it on their Sideswipe/Red Alert releases but Tracks has much simpler looking wheels that don't have that same dash of style. Take a look at the first pic above and tell me those Red Alert wheels wouldn't look freakin' awesome on Tracks! It's a minor complaint but it is a detail I noticed. All in all, I'm pleased with the purchase and I'm looking forward to more releases in 2021.

 

Picked this guy up, can't be happier with him! I do wish he was a bit smaller, and it would have been nice to have his little black cloud gun included for his flying mode, but it's a great figure! Even the larger MFT size doesn't clash with my S2 display!



I couldn't help myself; "I'd rather stay in my stunning auto mode."



Great figure. NA and MS sure have their work cut out for them if they want to compete!

 

Seriously thank you man, though my Optimus I so Big, an I like if you can an for you want, you make a comparison with jinbao Megatron, but thanks Also for the photos

 

Mine came in today. Mostly great with a few serious tolerance issues. The lefthand missile and peg were so tight that the missile cracked and popped off (see below; the missile pegged back on causing a wide crack). Also, the gun handle is WAY too thick for him to hold, and one of his wheels barely turns. Definitly a step down in quality from their Octane, which felt like a huge improvement. Tracks is still a really good figure; the design and engineering is brilliant; hopefully I just got a bum copy. I wrote to Show Z about getting a replacement missile and gun, at least.


On the plus side, I just covered he has wrist articulation when I was trying to jam the gun into his hand. So that was a nice surprise.

 

Could someone take a pic of Flywheel with WFC deluxes? I know he's going to be small, but don't know if he would be outrageously small. Don't know how much I'm going to end up liking Kingdom Tracks and was thinking about Flywheel.

 

Sorry, MFT's figures are big, but they're still legends:

So definitely too small against the official deluxes.

 

Thanks, I appreciate your help!

 

Initially passed on this guy, given that he’s big, but finally decided it might be years before NA takes a crack at him, so… you know what.. I really like him! Nice in both modes, good paint apps, great transformation. His car mode actually blends in with NA cars, since the windshields and chassis height are the same. The length is longer, but it’s a corvette stingray, they were really long.

bot mode is a bit of a monster size wise, but he looks good. I kinda wish they had made the tires black.. has anyone painted them? Feels like they could get more contrast, and you’d notice the metal on the rims more.

 

Yeah, they're REALLY bad. It took me forever to realize, when going from car to bot, you have to slide up the head FIRST, as the tabs that hold the legs in are attached, and thus slide away. Otherwise, when you try to open the legs. you're pulling against the tabs.
