Via Kreemzek Reviews on Youtube we have our first in-hand images of the new Transformers Kingdom Deluxe Tracks.
Tracks is another new mold and a great addition to the growing Kingdom line. Aswe can see from the images, this figure shows inspiration from both his cartoon and G1 toy design in both modes. It features a quite original and more complex transformation compared to other figures. Of course, the original G1 flying car mode can be done! We also have comparison shots next to several other War For Cybertron figures for those wondering about the scale.
Check out all the images on this news post, as well as Kreemzek video review, after the jump. Click on the discussion link below and let us know your impressions on the 2005 Boards!

What batch number are people having the worst looseness with Kingdom Tracks? I haven't opened mine but the batch is 11181

Sure, here is the comparison highlighted on Kingdom Tracks leg peg with the screenshot taken from The Lazy Eyebrow's Tracks review vs mine. You can see that Hasbro quietly fixed the peg. Just a friendly reminder, my Tracks comes with the Ark Golden Disk card as I noticed that all the Tracks YT reviewers have come with Megatron Golden Disk card. ♂️ Also, I circled the product number on the box.

I don’t know if I can find it. Can you circle it for us?
Also, someone on Twitter seems to have suggested a fix for Kingdom Tracks. I say "seems to have" because it's in Japanese. But apparently, Kingdom Tracks has a tab on his lower leg that's supposed to provide the wheel in his lower leg. The tweet, according to Google Translate, use glue or something to make the tab more prominent, thus giving you a better connection so that he isn't so darn fragile to stand.
Also I looked into the leg upgrade kit for Tracks by JRC. It looks like a godsend, but the fact that you have to take it off to transform the figure is a pretty big quibble.

I got mine yesterday here in Australia and I reckon my copy is a running change. I got the Ark golden disk card instead of Megatron. And I noticed the leg peg rod completely filled the hole than living it half away. The leg joint is still loose out from the box but fixed them with super glue.
Here is the box number of the box in case it is available at your country!

Mine is fine

Considering current Transformers low quality, I was expecting something really worse.
It doesn't look too bad.

Just a question here:
Anyone of you boys bought the recent copy of Kingdom Tracks? (The one that is in the same assortment as per Waspinator & Shadow Panther)
If so, is he "corrected"?
As in the alignments are now better for his Corvette mode?

Easily the worst mainline figure I’ve bought in years. RTS Tracks is magnitudes better.

It holds robot mode together well, but there is nowhere to store the upgrade parts in vehicle mode. My Tracks needed it, but RR was fine without. It's a good investment if you have the tabbing issue and plan on displaying them in bot mode 99.99% of the time

I wouldn't know, I haven't needed to buy any upgrades for my Tracks or Road Rage. Just needed to push the pins and, of course, tighten the joints a tiny bit (which I mean, I tend to neurotically do on EVERY figure I get, new or old).

I was thinking about buying that JRC leg upgrade. Does that make it better?
JomasterII
Personally, I think it's not that bad. Just make sure you push the pins in all the way if you keep him.

So I managed to get this guy for $3 when Walgreens had a sale. I'm contemplating right now if I should just give this away or keep it? Is this figure really still that bad?

I feel I'm in the dissenting opinion here, but Kingdom Tracks easily trumped my RTS Tracks. The look of both the bot and car mode blew it out of the water. It is beautiful. I was never truly happy with RTS Tracks. It was a nice update, but lacked the sleek, fabulous look Tracks had on the show. This one nails it in both modes.

Broke my OG BW2 Big Convoy left shoulder. Doing absolutely nothing. No pressure , nuthin! Just broke off. Good thing I replaced it with a Sonokong opaque shoulder part..
Hence my same concern.

Translucent plastic isn't "cheap". It just has different physical properties.
It's used for aesthetic reasons. The alternative is fans complaining about painted-over windows and such.

Oh I get what you mean. That plastic back pack is a ticking time bomb. Same with the Prowl mold. Dangit! Is transparent plastic that cheap?
How they can sleep soundly? For them, its just number crunching I guess.
