Yeah, just like Fat Jazz, Ladybreaker, and Shortstreaker seen here:

I don't mind the hood not covering his head, now he can look to the left and right and not having his hood blocking his sight. Maby it's adjustable to your preference just as Prowl's doors.

I hope if that's the case, they might make the headlights also able to use upwards, like the fins in flying carmode...

Thanks for the great pics, but I just noticed how hollow the legs are, that's a big turn off.

The face sculpt is also on the feminine side, what do you guys think?

I don't think they're hollow. They're a little shallow, but the depth doesn't seem to be any less than that of his thick knees. I'm guess this is where his feet tuck away into in car mode. Definitely not as hollow as the Sideswipe mold legs.

As for the face, I agree with SW's SilverHammer that it does look more like Roadrage. If you look closely you'll also notice that these are two different faces, one has a slightly open mouth. Could be that they used the RR faces as a stand in since they've been moving extremely fast on the production. Remember, back when Tracks was a rumor he was supposed to be followed by MP-26 Roadrage.

The new photos also fix the blue wrists and elbows from the previous set of images.

If Tomy releases one, wish they can feminize thefull humanoid face instead.

Tracks originally had a face plate, too, and it worked out for him. Some Road Rage art gives her a mouth plate and some gives her a mouth. I wouldn't be surprised if both MP Tracks and MP Road Rage have optional mouth plates.

Now I'm curious. I'm trying to think of all the places that have given Road Rage either a mouthplate or a proper face, but can only think of just two for the former and one for the latter.

Mouthplate: Her original box art, and the Legends pack-in manga
Proper face: TCC Magazine #37 Wings Universe comic "Battle Lines, Part 1"

Is there any other place that has drawn her with one or the other? :-?

That face does seem like a little step back for them. Sideswipe's wasn't perfect, but from Prowl on they nailed 'em. Tracks looks squished. His eyes could stand to be a tiny bit bigger, and his lips are a bit too contoured. Hopefully those adjectives get my point across.

All in all it's really just a nit-pick, I think the figure looks stunning.

Nice.

Interesting how the hood is raised. I wonder if it's like that for "stolen car mode" from "Make Tracks". :lol:

MP Autobot Cars are about the size of small Voyagers.

It'll fly by. I can't believe the 1 1/2 yr wait on Star Saber is almost over. :DANCE:

Thanks to TAG Hobby we get new images of Takara Tomy Transformers Masterpiece MP-25 Tracks! In these images we get to see MP Tracks' Robot mode in multiple poses, his Alt mode, his flight mode with his flight stand as well as his buddy Raoul. What is really interesting in these images are the screen capture of Tracks from the Sunbow G1 animation!
Check out the images we've mirrored below and remember keep your optics tuned to Seibertron.com for the latest in news and updates!
