    Here is the thing, RID strongarm has a feminine headsculpt, and some small features of feminity on her body (enough that I can see it). I very much like RID Strongarm, but the toy, very disappointing...

    I look at the face of Roadrage, I would have never guessed it was a femme.... looks like a fine man bot to me!!! Anyways, might still display "her" with some femmebots, and try real hard to imagine it's a femmebot somehow, not sure if it will work...

    General Questions:
    - Anyways, is roadrage in general supposed to have a face mask? "her" face does look nice, but I wouldn't have minded a ninja face for a nice streamlined body.
    - Also, does anyone know if "her" legs are supposed to be red, or are they grey like Tracks, in the toy?
    Edit: Or maybe legs are black? Would prefer red, but lets see how it turns out, might still PO from HLJ when it shows up, and I can always cancel if I really don't like it.

    What a camp pose. Does Tracks like watching Glee and trendy sushi restaurants?

    "Little red Corvette
    Baby you're much too fast
    Little red Corvette
    You need a love that's gonna last"

    I'm going to have that song stuck in my head for a good long while. Cannot WAIT for Road Rage.

    ok, took some more time to very closely examine Roadrage's face, and I can sort of see it could be feminine afterall.... if I get her, I may or may not add some red paint on her lips though...

    Haha, nerdy minds think alike... I've literally had that song stuck in my head as well from the minute I saw the news of this figure this morning. :) 

    For all we know she'll already have it, when we see her painted. After all, Takara's Arcee is wearing lipstick. I'm pretty neutral on that, I could kinda take it or leave it.

    I like that this toy already has two tracks of her own soundtrack. :) 

    Huh, I wasn't aware of these differences, but man, Finnish Black Tracks looks terrific! Better than the other version... if we got a black version of this mold I think I'd much prefer it follow that figure, with black legs and a gold faceplate. That would look sharp. Not getting my hopes up, though, I suspect it would go with the more standard version.

    1. Sometimes yes sometimes no. Toy has it but she appears in fiction without it from time to itme.
    2. They're black like Tracks' toy.

    Check her TFWiki page.

    They'll have to get over it or buy it to feed their OCD... Either way....

    Exactly.

    I'm the opposite. To me, there's nothing special at all about "red Tracks", but you make it a new character, especially in an awesome Diaclone deco, I'm all in. I own the original Road Rage figure and think she's awesome. I hope we eventually get Skids as well so we can have Crosscut.

    If Roadrage is true, the rumor for Ironhide must be true.

    same here. I thought it was a straight repaint of Tracks at first. Then after seeing posts about it being a "her" I looked more closely and noticed the feminine face. It does look a little more feminine with the waist and thighs but not much. I hope it comes with a faceplate to add for those that want it but I'd rather the feminine face because when people see her on my shelf they won't know she's a she.

    Thanks


    True. Faceplate option would be nice, but I also like the face, so I would want to try both ways if feasible, otherwise, i will be ok anyways with shown face.

    Hell yes! I'm sure this will look amazing in red. Nice to see a few bits remolded to round out the features too. A faceplate would be the icing on the cake but I won't worry too much about it if its not included.

    I'm very, very, very excited the MP has expanded beyong the Optimus fucking Prime show. Some new Decepticons would be awesome to see but at least there's some diversity and obscure (and NEW, thank you Exhaust!) characters getting to see the light of day.

    Bring on the black repaint with the regular Tracks molding, Road Rage's gun and a must-have faceplate head!
