the use of the 'Diet Review' is really lost on me now, this is nearly 20 minutes, larger than a good number of your standard reviews, when you originally pitched the idea i was thinking of sub 8 minute quick and dirty videos
@@shaldurprime7154 I've been trying to keep them that way.
First, there was two and a half modes, second there was so much garbage QC wise to talk about that widdling it down to 17 was the best I could do
Going to try and keep these sub 10 in the future
@@TheLazyEyebrow and i guess the more i think about it, the 'diet' thing has a lot to do with the production on your end, i can only imagine how many hours are saved cutting out the skits and half the editing
@@shaldurprime7154 that's basically it. no skits, no extra fun with the animation, the process is animated drive in, establishing shots, animated transformation, establishing shots, animated articulation, clsoing shots, some size reference photos, animated outro
I make it a point not to do anything extra. as such this video that began production Wednesday was put out last night for patrons
Tracks was done so dirty in Kingdom and I hope Legacy does him justice...
You know, given how giving us clear windows just lets us see the mess of parts inside these vehicle modes, I'd rather they just stop using clear plastic all together for the sake of giving us clear windows if it means we don't have to worry about clear plastic ever again.
I don’t know how true this is, but I heard they do it as a cost cutting measure since apparently painted clear plastic is cheaper to produce than solid colored plastic.
Honestly look at Cyberverse Delxue wave 1 toys. ZERO CLEAR PLASTIC and the cars get painted windows. Very Chad wave of toys.
I do like clear plastic, but painted windshields don't look bad. Plus windshields seem easier to put stickers on.
@@isaacclarke195 quite the opposite actually. because even if clear plastic was cheaper to produce, they then lose any savings almost immediatly by all the painting that then needs done
one interview I saw said exactly that. that the reason for clear parts is that they run out of room on a coloured mold and then resort to clear for stuff like windows. this figure has 4 colours. Black, Blue Grey and Clear. and the rest is painted on (and there is a substantial amount of paint)
I don't even get the point of the clear plastic, all it does is let us see crumbled up robot parts, that's not screen accurate, most of the time we can't even see anything through the glass in the cartoon, and when we do, we see car seats
Honestly, the final "It looks good, and does nothing" kinda makes me want it. That's just such a Tracks thing to do and I LOVE that
Whatever works for ya haha
Those front side fenders SCREAM Dodge Viper to me, look at the same piece on a gen 1 Viper and it's almost identical, even the "vents" that flow into the door look the same
nice pfp
It is a c3 chevy corvette 🤦🏼♂️
@@marlonrvlogs no shit sherlock, I've been into this for some long time, I know damn well Tracks is a late C3 Corvette from at least 1979, I'm talking about how modern Tracks figures aim to have kind of a mix between a Corvette and a viper, like the generations once was Due to license. What I was saying is that the side vents aim much more to a gen 1 Viper than what you would normally see on c3. The only thing that comes close, and still ain't perfect is the C5 side vents and yet the shape doesn't match
I decided to buy this figure because I really liked the way he looked in robot mode despite the engineering on the legs. I think he looks really good on the shelf with the rest of my collection.
My figure did have loose leg panels but I did the leg fix with a tool and it seems to have helped tremendously.
if you love the thing, more power to you, he is a great shelf item
Am I the only one who thinks this car mode could make a really great Lightning McQueen? Road Rage is going to come out and idk, I see a resemblance there, just need to erase the front aspects of the Corvette, remold the back a little, take the wing tips out and add big eyes
This car mode can be identical to Lightning McQueen from the front but this can be an upgraded one for him
Sometimes I regret not jumping on the WFC line full hog to get all the g1 characters again in more accurate depictions than previous lines... then I see this and feel moderately content that I haven't.
I highly encourage you to get more into this trilogy. Sure, there are a few duds like Arcee and Tracks. On the other hand you have brilliantly engineered figures like Springer and Cyclonus, and even simpler ones like Sideswipe and Impactor. And don't even get me started on the Beast Wars figures!
@@silhouettoofaman2935 I've grabbed a handful of figures from the line, I'm just not going all in since I pretty much already have figures for every character.
@@DevasiaMotion Fair enough.
"I'd rather stay in my sunning auto mode"
*sees his bullshit auto mode*
"I'd rather stay in the prototypal stage"
XD
I wish his legs weren't such a bizarrity. But he looks good in robot mode at least
Congratulations Hasbro!
You somehow made Universe Ironhide look like Studio Series Grimlock!
The 86 one or the AOE one?
86
@@legobazookatroopercrusade9937 Doesn't really matter, both of the studio series grimlocks are great.
I am now realizing that I got insanely lucky. My copy has perfectly fitting fenders, and the knee connection actually has a substantial rectangular peg. I will no longer take this for granted
Might as well say this, any 3rd party willing to do a new car shell for Kingdom Tracks that is NOT clear plastic will earn much money. Providing the rest of the mold survives being reshelled
This disappoints me, kingdom tracks was one of my most hyped figures of this year and he turned out to be a real stinker. If I find on clearance or discounted I may pick him up but I'm not in a hurry.
I felt the same way with Arcee from Earthrise. It looked so promising in the promo pictures, but the moment I saw the "transformation," I was so disappointed.
I'm unsure if I'm impressed with the Earthrise/Kingdom lines or severely disappointed. Half of the figures have been fantastic, especially Earthrise Prime and Starscream. The Masterpiece engineering that has made it into these lines have been pretty impressive, but the quality issues have been a let down. I was really looking forward to getting this Tracks because he looks so good, but now I won't. Thanks for the great reviews, the last year or so of reviews have gotten really, really good.
(As for this Tracks figure maybe pull a Thew and do a giveaway to the fans.)
Ah yes, another carformer I have to skip over because 50% of the assembly is made of a material that's good for nothing other than being a ticking time bomb.
don't forget about the fact that 80% of the car literally just becomes an ugly turtle shell
4:22,I'm noticing a trend here,First Sunstreaker without his spoiler and tracks with an off vehicle mode,These 2 are know for having stunning vehicle modes,Hasbro must not like the Narcissist Transformers,they perfer the kid appeal characters like Bee
But then came Skylynx, who was already impressive by himself (and infinitely better than the fairly bad Combiner Wars offering), and they even added a base mode to him just for the compatibility with all the ramp peeps and the space type Micromasters. He's definitely the King of Narcissists among the Autobots...
Voting yes to see your Tracks maiden "flight" off a bridge.
Also, was expecting you to have him hold your mini Lego Blaster when referencing his blaster.
(Kinda wish he came with an official mini blaster)
You know, I was going to, then i entirely forgot
@@TheLazyEyebrow
It happens.
The brain don't always work the way we want it too.
Suddenly really glad I have reveal the shield tracks that I got a few years back. Sure it may not be the best tracks ever but it can at least stand up without extra modifications. Also let’s applaud the fact that this guy was able to animate tracks flying at the end.
thanks
Let me give you props now, this explanation of this toy was absolutely astounding I appreciate all that information, your knowledge to detail to understanding to creating is absolutely mind blowing. I've subscribed to the channel sometime ago but I haven't been watching many of the episodes lately or these I've been a collector for a short time of all sorts of toys and now I'm getting into stop motion transformation with the transformers and your channel is the first video's I came to, and I have to say I got an overload of information that was just astounding, they need you over at Hasbro or somewhere immediately to just help change their future of their toy making to the best that it can possibly be thank you lazy eyebrow. WoW.😮🤙🏾
Yeah, gonna have to pass on this. Given that my cat knocks over my Transformers shelf every other week, a figure made of brittle plastic is a horrible idea. (I've resorted to mainly collecting sturdy Unicron Trilogy figures for the shelves the cat can get to. Those things are sturdy.)
Speaking of, funny story: I once accidentially knocked Cybertron Optimus outside my 3rd story Dorm window creating a scene reminiscent of Buzz Lightyear realizing he couldn't fly. Not a scratch on the figure after landing in the dirt. Then proceeded to throw it out the window to show people what happened.
My cynic sense is tingling. Like Hasbro rushed this out for the FOMO fans, but plans on doing another one down the road and won't tell anyone for fear they'll skip a trash model. I got that feeling when I finally got Sunstreaker and compared it to it CW version. CW was mediocre, but at the time I wanted because we didn't know if we'd get a chance at a full blown deluxe.
I may still get it, but now I know not to hunt for it.
I don't think so. It came out with an entire wave and was in planning as long as the rest of the figures were. I think they just booted it. The essential design is quite good, but they lost the details.
I hope you're right, but I doubt it. The only figures from WFC there are any potential rumors of being remade so far are Ratchet and Ironhide, and they're much better-known characters whose figures were hard-to-obtain exclusives. I can't see them giving Tracks the same treatment (or Mirage, who I think also needs it).
I’ve always been biased towards Tracks, since my grandfather owns a C3 and I grew up with it, and I was so excited when Kingdom Tracks was announced.
But if a C3 is a Labrador, Kingdom Tracks is a Pug.
"Well, I said nuts to that..."
*_I UNDERSTOOD THAT REFERENCE._*
You deservedly took this figure out to the woodshed. After how good Cyclonus, Airazor, and Huffer came out, Tracks and Rhinox baffle me. I get that many of the production issues could be laid at the feet of COVID related factory issues, but I don't see how that dinks the design. And while I've no interest in Road Rage, this is the first time I've ever seen a repaint get me even angrier at the original mold. How does RR get the full flame treatment while Tracks has this awful monochrome flame?
The reason is because it's *GeEwUn cArToOn accurate*
@@OfficialFinnTDK Yeah I know but it just looks bad. Cheap. Cheap AND bad.
i'm sure everyone would love for hasbro to develop lego-tier clear plastic, looks just like the regular stuff, feels better to handle, isn't brttle, and in some cases is actually stronger than the standard
seriously, why can't they do that?
They're not THAT smart. If they were, that probably would've been done a couple years ago, if not by now.
I ALWAYS pause the video to read the little text notes, and I’m glad I did. In addition, I’m incredibly glad I watch your reviews, as I’m the exact person you’re talking to near the end. I own a RTS Tracks, and I was excited for the Kingdom Tracks, but GOOD GRAVY does this new figure suck.
I’ll be passing on this one, and THANK YOU for saving me the money. Also, you’re hilarious and informative as always. Glad to see the “Diet” title working so well for you.
With the rumors of a new Ratchet and Ironhide mold coming in SS86, I really hope they decide to give Tracks another shot too. If he wasn't one of my favorite characters I'd probably be satisfied with this mold but he is, both in terms of personality and design, and I really want a figure of him on the same level as the other ER car bots. If only they could've just downsized the MP engineering, and maybe asked Chevrolet about a license...
(And while they're at it, if they could do it for Mirage too. I want a proper 70s F1 alt mode and, like with Tracks, a good transformation that doesn't overcomplicate him with needless use of faux parts.)
Even if Tracks has a bad toy, you have to admit, he still has a stunning auto mode!
I'll just stick with my RTS for now.
This is the first figure I've gotten that I just really can't recommend anyone to get. The connections at the top of the roof in car mode are under IMMENSE stress full time on my copy. It's definitely going to self-destruct before too long. And there are a whole host of other problems, even more than this video mentions. I know 17 minutes doesn't seem 'diet' but it's the minimal rant on this figure and I'm glad Lazy Eyebrow didn't pour a lot of time into customization and animation on this figure as it would crumble before too long anyway.
You've accurately understood my plight for this video haha
That figure saddens me ... I don't have a Tracks and I had high hopes when that figure got announced ... Now that I've seen so many bad reviews of the figure because of those ridiculous panel tabs, I won't even bother to spend my money on it ... Great review as always; greetings from 🇵🇦 🤙
You almost want to go for the Masterpiece Tracks. Yes, you're going to pay more but you get a quality figure. That's what I'm doing.
Very happy I didn’t pick this figure up, I’ll stick with my customized AOE one
Let me guess- AOE “Hot Shot” with a new head?
@@EternityKingdomsHeadHoncho no there was a repaint of deluxe crosshairs as tracks max just didn’t have the flame pattern, so I did that myself
@@cheesier5153 Ahh, thanks for clarifying. At the rate that RTS Tracks is going up in price, perhaps it's best that I try and track down and AOE Hot Shot and call it Tracks. Honestly not a bad mold from what I saw of it...
Idk why they used a fake chest. The masterpiece used a real chest and looks way better
The masterpiece looks better then the CHUG?? Insane...
Tracks looks incredible in robot mode, but part of that is how you made him Look so good with the camera angles that hide the ankle gaps, etc.
I too, dislike false (or immoral) chests. I like RTS Tracks and will stick with him.
Thank you for another great review and toy animation!
Lazy eyebrow vlog series episode 1: yeeting tracks off the golden gate bridge in california. Great trip for the family mind you.
Ok some stuff I can get but how do you forget a fight port for a flying character that feels like the one of the most important things to have. I wonder if that's why they did the wierd middle exhaust pipe for you to plug a 5mm flight stand into. I wonder if they realized they forgot it and then threw that in at the last minute explaining the lack of back paint and wings that stand out so much.
Another great review! I'm still debating whether I want him or not, on the one hand, he looks decent enough, and he'll probably be the last G1 Tracks we get for the next decade at least, but on the other, the amount of clear plastic used in his construction is nasty, the transformation is mediocre at best, his legs and floaty feet are just cringe, and I seriously worry about paint chipping due to the amount of painted clear plastic.
I hope hasbro fixes its issues with clear plastic. If the whole thing about them having to use clear plastic cus they’re aren’t enough opaque plastic molds, then it’s probably gonna be really sucky for the next few years
I’ve STILL got Traxx on my shelf!! 30-odd YEARS later!! The BOMB!
And you’re Canadian? I’m sold. I subbed. Too many Americans excusing design flaws cause “it’s a 20$ toy” but like no. In Canada we have to deal with the fact that stock of anything good tends to be super limited, we rarely get a restock of anything, there’s a limited number of Canadian retailers that sell them, and on top of that, if you don’t get them directly from Amazon when they come out for 35$ for a deluxe, you have to deal with third party sellers asking anywhere from 40-100$ for a basic deluxe, with most on average being around 60$ with tax. So like spending 60$ on a deluxe and it being meh is kinda sucky. We need more Canadians reviewing this type of stuff to get a better feel for the value.
I do my best to be fair, but crap toy is crap toy
@@TheLazyEyebrow exactly. I concede that peoples experience will vary from copy to copy but there are some serious design flaws with Tracks that could’ve been remedied. I was able to figure out a way to get my copy to nearly perfect lock in place in car mode but robot mode is definitely iffy still. I want to get an upgrade but I don’t have a 3D printer and it costs like 10-30$ just to buy those upgrades off eBay.
11:29 NGL, I'm not too sure that Sunstreaker pulls it off that well. I mean, it's just so obvious that he's wearing a perfectly square cardboard cutout on his chest and that REALLY bugs me and because the piece is painted from the back as well means there is no way to see it as anything but a square. The fact that they didn't sculpt two angled notches on the bottom that would've flowed into the waist just makes his lower region look a bit tubby as well which for the one bot who is basically autobot James is just disappointing to see.
Ey that's fair
god i would love it if you uploaded a review of something you didnt hate soon, im sick of the negative vibes
....did you miss Cliffjumper?
And Hasbro had the audacity to call this a “micro masterpiece” if that’s their standard then it’s all going to be downhill from here
I consider this a dud in an otherwise brilliant line. Even the Masterpiece line has its fair share of stinkers (looking square at Bumblebee 2.0).
@@silhouettoofaman2935 you do have a point most of the figures are really spot on(looks at kingdom Cyclonus) I thought the fact they call Tracks a “Micro Masterpiece” just puts salt on the wound
@@manuelvazquez7280 I don't know man he is pretty perfect as a micro masterpiece, he looks great but he feels like shit, just like most masterpieces
Great review. I got my leg jrc locks day after I got Tracks. Made a heck of a difference
@The Lazy Eyebrow 4:05 nice reference to JobbyTheHong! Never expected that one!
Ok small thing, but the transitions into an ad was actually really cool.
Incredible review The Lazy Eyebrow!!!!!!!!!! I had no idea Tracks had such numerous flaws, just when I was hoping Galvatron's shoulders facing the wrong direction was the worst QC of the Kingdom line. :P Keep on being amazing.
Dropping the ball on Tracks seems to be a tradition at this point.
It really does
Yes finally a review on tracks
Thank you. I was on the fence about whether I was going to get that mold for Road Rage, as I have united Tracks. But now I know better. Thank you
Studio Series 86 Jazz: "my vehicle mode is made up of an above-average amount of clear plastic, making me a potential time bomb!"
Kingdom Tracks: "hold my energon"
speaking of the flame deco, Road Rage got the accurate one
Is there any reason they can keep getting the licencing to make screen accurate movie Bumblebees over, and *over,* and *_over_* again, but they couldn't get the licencing for this guys car mode?
Dunno
They may simply not want to bother, considering that there's been a slew of licensed Corvettes over the years: RotF Sideswipe, RotF Sidearm Sideswipe, RotF Swerve, Human Alliance Sideswipe, DotM Sideswipe, DotM Darksteel, AoE Crosshairs, AoE Hotshot, TLK Crosshairs (which unfortunately has a painted over clear plastic hood), SS29 DotM Sideswipe, SS78 RotF Sideswipe, and a ton of other stuff over on the TF Wiki pages for Movie Sideswipe & AoE Crosshairs that I ain't even know about.
That Hasbro never bothered to do any kinda release of MP25 Tracks, MP25L Loudpedal, or MP26 Roadrage definitely gives me more of a vibe that they just don't wanna deal with licensing like that.
17 minute diet review? What have done to deserve this treat?
When Lazy Eyebrow tells you not to buy a figure, you know there's something very wrong about it.
I can live with the legs honestly, tightening the swivel joint on the panels helps remedy the issue
3:52 I love Lazy's sarcasm
I have both this and the red re-color, and both had fenders that were fine, no mods needed. Standing required the leg doodad add-ons, and while they're great for robot mode, they've gotta come out for transforming.
its like tracks is cursed to have every figure of him suck
like Why did the backpack need to be entirely painted clear plastic
couldn't it just be blue plastic with painted windows as they would certainly be using less paint
Um, I know Diet Stop Motion reviews are just less pictures taken, but this is LONGER than the Dinobot review.
Yeah....i know
Looking back on it....
I think tracks was the ORIGINAL triple changer!
My biggest gripe with this thing is the fake chest just as u said. IMO I prefer actual alt mode parts on a robot to screen accuracy. I mean what is a transformer if it doesn't transform correctly? And I'm sure if I had it in hand, the legs would frustrate me. A lot of potential gone into waste However, this is just my opinion. Anyways, great review as usual!👍
I feel like Hasbro's trying to cheap out by using clear plastic and the only reason he has paint on him was to cover the clear plastic and then they upraised the price because of this and I believe fans voted to get a toy of him since we haven't gotten a mainline G1 tracks figure in a long time!
Honestly, I paint mine up to look more toy (g1) accurate, so some metallic paint on the tabs helped
I understand your frustrations with this figure
I can't wait to get him!
So if Tracks flight mode cannot be attached to anything so it make him looks like he is actually flying, then how did Lazy Eyebrow made this Stop Motion at the end?
i'd love to see this mold retooled into a prime universe vehicon
I'm here to say I 100% appreciate your honesty with what should have been the best GI Legacy 'bot of Kingdom. Instead we get Trainwreck Tracks.
Disappointed in Hasbro my understated understatement of the year.
There's just so much things the urks me with this figure. Most of them you already mentioned. The painted shin is really annoying and the proportions looks really really bad. Looks like I'll be keeping my RTS tracks even though he's missing a wing.
Edit: Those wings also being a part of the arms. Damn Posing this guy would look really weird.
My kingdom tracks was a pain to transform and a floppy mess right out of the box, so i feel you
I've been looking forward to this . . .
17:19 Good idea. Finally, something we can do with this mode.
Also, completely forgot to mention this 10 months ago but nice shout out to Jobby at 4:05.
One of the more thorough reviews ive listened and seen. THis helps cus I really wanted to add Road Rage to my fembot collection and my red car collection. guess im getting the MP.
Return of the king
8:18 tip: Use the opening of the leg to separate the legs from the windshield so you don’t have to do much work
dame, just dame. I had some high hopes fo the mold because I wanted a Loudpedel version of this mold to go with my Exhaust. This review and showing of the mold's numerus flaws makes reconsider the very thought.
Aww man, I was looking forward to Tracks.
they molded so much detail on that car yet left so much unpainted making it look so basic
side note: you see that 'Dracula' cross over? oh boy..
i have. interesting use of Fangry for sure
@@TheLazyEyebrow Fangry? I thought he was a remold of TR Mindwipe.
@@ian1231100 oh, probably. Forgot mindwipe existed honestly
Great review as always man. Its a damn shame this mold couldnt have been better. Now loudpetal and road rage will suck too
Gotta love the jobby shout out
@The Lazy Eyebrow the tabs on the top of the hood that connect the roof to the front of the car are re really hard to pull apart on my copy. Should I sand them off or should I try something else to fix the issue
Excellent coverage! Thank you! I had this guy on order from BBTS, then I saw some early reviews, and cancelled it. This review further reinforces that decision.
I think this can be counted in with Eunuch Lacerations Galvatron as one of the worst modern TF moulds. I'm sticking with the RTS and Masterpiece Trackses I have.
When I first saw this figure and all the issues it had, I just bought a ko MP version. It doesn't scale for crap with my other figs, but at least it works!
It’s been a while lazy. Nice review.
They should have shrunk MP Tracks exactly as it was and call it voyager Tracks in classic height.
Something that I like to do with the arms is kinda twist the arms so then it's easier to get the arms out
Man, what a bummer. This mold feels like it got it's shoelaces tied together at the starting line; it could've been great but there's so much holding it back it's really upsetting.
I'm only gonna pick this figure up because it's getting a Road Rage repaint and it's less expensive to get a root canal than find a CHUG version of her (oops, "SG" Tracks). Since I'm mostly ambivalent on car modes, I'll more than likely do what you did with Tracks, pop her on a shelf and let her sit.... though I do find it really admirable that even though it was a nightmare to do, you still transformed Tracks flying, transforming, and driving.
Maybe I can try animating with her robot mode exclusively if I get leg panels for her and swap over to her MP car mode if I want her to drive? Where I'm at, she's only gonna be 25 bucks, not 40.
part of me wants to fix this for some reason. and yeah, animating was less than fun honestly
Bro, I love your videos. The animation is just spectacular. The commercial breaks are great though back to the show. I can't wait for you to do a review for Kingdome Glavatron. When you do the review I hope you work in a scene where Kindom Galvatron and studio 86 Cyclonus, and Scourge gang up on Titans Returns Galvatron. That would b awesome :)
Part of me still wants to get this but I recently got the MP and that figure is a lot more fun.
I got kingdom tracks after seeing this review and I was going to buy it cheap then customising the crap out of it but when I got it actually held together I didn’t have to buy upgrade kits just for it to stand and I think a lot of it’s problems influenced people to instantly see this as garbage and I’m glad you didn’t let it influence your video too much thanks for being impartial it’s it’s always nice to see someone who doesn’t let there opinions get in the way
i try
@@TheLazyEyebrow that’s all I ask
You know what's funny? My Tracks has all of the leg problems listed but it doesn't have the issue with the wings. My wings stay in place no matter how I move the arms outward. When I move them back down the wings actually stay so I got lucky there.
That's really bizarre. Lucky you though haha
You should have made tracks run into a wall at the end. He would have deserved it lol
Well, that’s another thing I’m planning to change when I use my time-machine 30 years from now.
Not even a minute in and Eyebrow already rags on the cartoon designs. Goodie.
Personally I'm fine with either the yellow outline or just the red fire by itself. I feel like there's something more unique and stylish about the fire jsut being red, as opposed to it being red and yellow like any other time people draw fire.
that's fair. I mean if you like it, by all means please keep enjoying it. I just can't understand the mindset these days of sacrificing all detail in favor of emulating a show that did not have the time to include the detail the source material had
@@TheLazyEyebrow I dunno, to call it laziness, or not having enough time is selling it short.
I am a 2D character designer, and there is artistry to making character designs that are complex enough to not be pedestrian, but simple enough to not be hell to animate.
Look what a pain in the ass it was to animated this guy, because he had horribly designed legs. This is kinda like that. If the character is too complex, it's going to be hell to animate... And honestly, it doesn't look that good to me, like Jojo for example. That is personal preference tho.
And yeah, the animation in these old cartoons is unimpressive, and riddled with errors, but the designs, man, the design! There is such beauty in the designs Floro Dery crafted for the show.
And that is why there are people who want accuracy, like Protoman for example, because we're fans of Dery's art, and we want that art in toy form.
To be perfectly clear, this one doesn't meet my standards. He's still too riddled with greeblies. I prefer the Studio Series ones. There is some nice Steve Kirby/Dexter's Lab mechanical detail on them, but there is also this cartoonish smoothness and shape language. They're elegant.
When it comes to Tracks, I don't think adding the yellow gives him too much detail. It compliments the blue and red. But I'm fine without it too.
Im probably gonna get Roadrage instead i wouldn't be surprised if a repaint has better QC than its original mold realease. Or better yet (if the Brand Team cares) they could rerelease this figure in the Rumored Legacy Toyline with remolded legs and maybe just maybe a hood molded in original plastic instead of clear plastic.
Seeing I've never owned road rage and i love the concept of the character, this is a figure I'm hunting as well
But if i never find it, I'm not exactly going to be sad either
Still diggin the new mini overload name
I got the Road Rage version and fixed the legs, It's an easy fix imo and made it much better. Other than thst I'm just waiting for Toyhax to do a set for her
While not a perfect figure, I am content with it. JRC mods are a must. I have no intention of posing or messing with this figure as he is meant to stay untouched for display only.
I tightened all the joints with superglue and it has been working like a charm. I honestly love this figure, is it a perfect tracks? no. But its quirky while still being tracks. I really like it, I am going to modify the heck out of it, but i do that with most of my figures anyway.
Thanks. Really struggled folding the legs.
I’m still going to like that figure
