New Images - Takara Tomy Transformers Masterpiece MP-25 Tracks and Accessories

I love the fact that the good opens up!! Actually I really like the alt mode on this guy.

The only problem I have with this figure is he doesn't come with the alien mask he wore when Hoist became a movie star

That'll come with the MP Ironhide repaint seeing as he has all of the accessories.

Tracks looks amazing! He's a smidge taller than the others, but fit right in with them.

Proper stock photo of the final product VS the initial magazine image of the prototype:

Anyone know if Road Rage will also come with the stand?

Someone please say yes!

I'm not a masterpiece guy personally but I think I might have to pick this one up. He looks just too good.

The finish on this figure looks really impressive. I'm excited for him & Road Rage.

that is a sexy beast

I'm really concerned about his backpack, I hope it can be straightened out. It looks like gravity is making it tilt back causing the wings to be tilted as well in the side view.

It's nice to have confirmation that he does come with the front flight mode gun first seen with Road Rage. Probably no stand for Road Rage since she's 500JPY less than Tracks.

I'm going to be all over tracks when he finally gets released.

Would be a shame because imo she looks way much better than Tracks. To me she is the first truly impressive fembot toy.

The pictures looks great, I really want Masterpiece Tracks

Got one on Pre-order looking forward to Tracks looks like a nice mould.

Will be a nice upgrade from my generations Tracks (who's a bit tubby).

ZOMG, so awesome

Love that pic.

It's the first time where the convention photos look better than the stock photos

This may not come as a shock to some but it is bad news for people eagerly awaiting for MP-25 Tracks to drop. According to site sponsor Robotkingdom Tracks will be delayed. Originally scheduled to ship in September. There is no word as of yet how long a delay he will face or if it will affect future MP releases. Keep it here at Seibertron.com and we will keep you posted on the new expected release for Tracks.

Damn. This will probably delay Road Rage, too.

I didn't even know it was given a September release date. BBTS just says 3rd quarter.

All Takara Transformers have specific release dates just like DVD, games and other similar releases have here in the US.

Most Transformers products from Takara drop on the 4th Thursday of the month, if I recall correctly.

I'm concerned about Tracks and Road Rage because Q-Tracks has been delayed since June with no release date in sight. I keep assuming it's because they're pushing Q-Tracks back to be released the same month as Masterpiece Tracks, but after this news I'm a bit concerned that there's a bigger problem at hand between Takara and General Motors/Chevrolet that is delaying the release of these products. Hopefully things are worked out soon.

I've been waiting for Q-Tracks. If it helps BBTS says that's coming in October

chuckdawg1999 wrote:I've been waiting for Q-Tracks. If it helps BBTS says that's coming in October

It was June. Then July. Then August. Then September. Then October. It doesn't help ... just want to see it released!

September is still part of the 3rd quarter. Gives the wallet a chance to rest though. This will probably delay Rr too.

Amazon Japan still says Sep 26 for Tracks, and Oct 24 for MP-26.

Ya know, the same sort of delay was reported for MP-18B blue Bluestreak and he came in right on time, and to US retailers no less. So here's hoping the same stands for Tracks.

It's actually kinda good news for me, because I won't be able to get him this year anyways.

I want it too. Not for nothing Robot Kingdom's pre-order page still has Tracks listed for September.

My preorder stack at TFSource now lists MP-25 Tracks as "Delayed until November." Road Rage has not been changed from its October release date, however.

Wouldn't be the first time a repaint comes out before the original.

At amiami, still late September.But then again, WJ and BB also experienced delays.

A brief update on yesterday's story about the unfortunate delay of the upcoming Takara Tomy Masterpiece Transformers MP-25 Tracks - site sponsor TFSource has confirmed, via their Facebook page, that the delay will mean release date for the figure is now November 2015.

In addition, this also sets back the release of MP-26 Road Rage (her discussion thread can be found here) to the following month, December 2015. Does this affect your purchases, or are you glad for a small breather in between collectables? Join the conversation and let us know what you think in the Energon Pub!

Since the only figures left for me to get this year (barring a last minute Thundercracker mind change) are Tracks and Road Rage, it doesn't really affect my buying. They aren't big releases and I was even going to wait to get Tracks from my stack to pick up Road Rage at the same time just to save on shipping.

I have to be picky with the repaints. Not just get them to get them. Road Rage is another character, Thundercracker is one I already have. Not getting red Bumblebee, either. Bluestreak is limited AND a fanboy wet dream.

Then consider me soaked!

Since Va'al asked, Nov. for Tracks is OK, I don't have any other standing pre-orders for that month. However Road Rage out in Dec. is a bit of an inconvenience because UW Devistator is due out as well, and pre-ordered. It's gonna be an expensive month. I better plan accordingly. At least I'll be able to combine shipping.

FYI, AmiAmi has updated their release date for Tracks as well. Showing "Early Nov. 2015".

Edit: Va'al, is that the comp photo I posted months ago that you used as the front page image? Why you sneaky little ........

BBTS still says 3rd quarter so I doubt they're going to give an exact date. November is going to be expensive since besides Tracks I have a couple Adventure series figures coming as well as Defensor and Devastator the following month.

This works out perfectly for me, because I can't get any MPs till next year.

Lol I can just imagine someone fapping to this Tracks figure it looks so cool.

The end of the calendar year/winter holidays always seem to be bloated with toy releases. December is going to be especially expensive for me, with Unite Warriors Defensor and Devastator due out then (I ordered two of each, so that hurts my wallet twice as much). Add to that all the other Transformers releases that are of interest plus my Masters of the Universe Classics subscription, and yikes! Good thing January will be an extra paycheck month for me.

I hope the backpack Tracks has can fold down against his back more than in this picture:

Yeah he looks great overall, but MAN, is he a hiker or something? I can see that it does have a hinge in there, so hopefully that means it can fold down more.

Hopefully it's just mis-transformed.

I'm quite sure the backpack folds down nice and flush with the rest of the figure. I think that pose in the middle is to represent that the backpack can be repositioned if you want to make it look like his over the shoulder missiles are more versatile in their positioning. The wings in that pose are tilted way back, and it's obvious from the front-facing pictures that the wings are supposed to be flush and parallel with Tracks' back. I'm not worried.

Yeah it's pretty obvious that is this picture, since his arm is conveniently raised, it folds down nicely.

Shame on the delay, but he still is a really good looking figure. I really do think he looks gorgeous

Aren't you cancelling your earlier argument?

Btwgot a confimation from amiami and biginjapan of the delay.

MP Tracks was pushed back to November. So how'd he get it so early?

It was made in Vietnam, though.
