Despite the attempts to make it look female-ish, they kinda failed. Looks like a super anime younger then tracks badass dude.

hmm... in BBTS's picture it looks like a glass cup.

Oh, yeah! I think you got it.
It's like how Wheeljack's Immobilizer was packed with Exhaust.

Thanks,

I said it before. Her waist is too small. Her hips should be as wide, if not wider, than her chest for a traditionally feminine appearance.

I bet that's the problem

I was going to say "exhaust-plug".

As for the silver thing, I go with the person who said it's a beam gun for the front of the flying car mode. Tracks used one in the show at least once I think. It will probably be compatible with his MP too.

For anyone who says she doesn't look female enough, you guys must have a total conniption with Strika's build. Hate to break it to ya, but the female body is just as diverse as the male body. Most bots who mimic males demonstrate this characteristic, so there's really no reason a fembot should be different.
Not trying to be PC here; that's just how it is.

Well, I think it's mostly the face. They tried to give her fuller lips and a different eye shape, but it somehow ended up looking like a child making a duck face while crossing their eyes; that is, goofy regardless of gender. Unprofessional for either a bodyguard or alien diplomat.Wolfguard wrote:Looks great, although I thought she was a Decepticon.

Toys' lips can be really tricky to sculpt right, even if we're not talking robots. I recall the first Marvel Legends Scarlet Witch had a similar problem and had to be redone. As for this new Leiji...that's the official face, so (sigh) 3rd Parties, it's been headballed into your court. Knock it out of the park.

Ya don't say...
Fembots are scarce. It would be nice when we get one that it'd be recognizable, whether it's Strika's build or Blackarachnia's. Strika still looks feminine with her deco and babushka, and Strongarm does as well with her lips and sculpted chest plate. This looks like a guy, point blank. I already have 100's of male figures... don't need my fembots looking like males as well

But seriously, that silver thingy looks like a dildo. I suppose even giant robots need winding-down time...

Who's cartoon appearance and figure were designed as male until Cartoon Network decided to dub the character as female. Tracks could have been designed from inception to have a more feminine retool counterpart

Retools come afterwards (or sometimes before)... I didn't say repaint. A retool has no impact on the initial release. This seems like an afterthought and could have been engineered way better if done from the get go. And if this was the plan from the beginning, I think they failed at having those slight retools translating into being a female character.

I'm dying! This is only going to give those who insist Tracks is gay more ammo

You people seem to overreacting to this, you knew when you went in this would be a retool of tracks, and you seem to have expected getting a new mold from this. Gee I wonder if roadrages past toys are known for their femininity?
Oh, look at that, even the club's roadrage/sg tracks proxy, looks like tracks. I wonder why. It even goes back to g1, there must be some sort of conspiracy here. That's sarcasm.

Nope, I think she looks great as well.
Just waiting for HLJ to open preorders so I can order two of her.

Of course it's a lady bot. Maybe if it had more color on the arms like the botcon toy (representing the arm stickers) it would look more feminine. (^_-)b

thighs
pelvis
biceps
Did they give her daintier hands too?
I don't know, I think they femmed up the mold pretty nicely.
Posted by shajaki on May 8th, 2015 @ 6:30pm CDT
I really hope theres an optional faceplate.

The white makes the already thin hands look more delicate.

The car structure around her won't allow the Barbie-esque proportions. But the mere fact Tomy did a bit of re-molding on her?

It's the car gun that goes into the front license plate of the Corvette Tracks once used in the cartoon.

Gotta give TT points for going the extra mile with the remolded biceps and thighs. They could have just stuck a new head on her and called it a day. Frankly, given that Tracks already has a reasonably lithe silhouette, I guess Road Rage looks pretty convincing as a "macho chick" working as a senator's bodyguard(?). Kind of like Ronda Rousey in The Expendables 3.

Where the double expletive is the triple expletive faceplate!?
