Well it’s Saturday and with it comes a nice surprise (and no, it’s not me actually posting something.) Red Leader (TFW Supporter, owner of Kapow Toys, and all around nice chap) has splurged a bit on the bay of E and garnished a new Reveal the Shield Turbo Tracks which he has been so kind as to review for us today.
A bit of unfortunate news as he reports that it cannot do a flying car mode due to the placement of the wings. Otherwise this figure looks to be a near identical, more poseable, update to the G1 character.

i'm neither expecting new Tracks nor Jazz in EarthRise haha

…and if you can track down the United version he's even better!

It has what remains my all-time favorite version of Tracks' head.

And Tracks secretly keeps My Little Pony figures in his compartment…

One of the few "Classics/Generations" cars I still have on display…
He was one of my first G1's when I was a kid, and made for an outstanding modern figure as well.
I am also excited for the upcoming MP release.
I have a MOSC United Tracks hanging on my wall…I'm just too afraid to open it, and disturb that awesome metallic blue perfection.

Future floor polish will tighten up those feet and legs.
LoserBroadside
I heart this toy. It was my favorite TF of any generation for many years.

Yes, I just found, after fondling with him for two days, that the legs are too loose. He topples easily.
Ugly feet can be sorta modified by turning the waist and pose the legs Wheeljack style…

There's no shame in resurrecting a zombie thread in the Feedback section; it's great to see that older (old-ish?) toys haven't been forgotten and it's a useful thing to get opinions on how these figures have held up over the years.
They look a bit weird, but I found one of the biggest downsides of this mold's feet (Wheeljack included) is that they're just too loose. Especially after you've owned him for a while. It doesn't take much to get him to topple over.
Zenstrive
Ressurecting dead thread is not my intent, just want to tell you all that I just got this beauty in my hands and I'd say it is a cool bot for sure
Can't wait for the MP25

True, but I don't like the "toe" effect at the end of the feet. I could live with them if they were simply flat and long. They just look off to me.

Do you own or have ever seen the G1 Tracks toy's feet? They're pretty flat and long. So actually this RTS update's feet are pretty damn accurate.
Tirade
Although I do like this fig, I wish he had better feet. Those darn feet of his are just ugly looking. Very un-Tracks like. I would love to see a third party tackle an upgrade for him (doubt it would ever happen though).

Tracks is cool, besides I like the tribal flames and maybe down the road I'm going to paint underneath those wings so that it flows better.
SPLIT LIP
It's what lets his legs peg together for vehicle mode.

I got my RTS Turbo Tracks in the mail recently & I really like the figure
one leg did try to be stubborn & not want to extend like the other one but I managed to work it out, so I could get him in bot mode.
I also found it a little tricky to get his arms to snap into the car back-end but once they did it felt good (thanks for mentioning that bit)
& I have a question: what is that little white piece on his right leg for?
TrueNomadSkies
Picked up this guy today & I'm hella glad that I did.
ediblesteak
it's a pretty decent figure, there's not much to complain about it that hasn't already been said.
I'm happy with it thought.
Murasame
I hoped I might grow on the figure. I could live with the car mode in United. But I still hate how small his wings are and how clunky his robot mode looks. And I hoped so long that Hasbro would make Tracks
SPLIT LIP
I like this guy alot. I don't dig the super wide chest and puny arms on him as much as Wheeljack. The car mode is nice and I love the headsculpt.
