@@knightnight9775 No, I mean the M.A.S.K. from the cartoon from the 80s of the same name. It stands for Mobile Armored Strike Kommand. The show is on youtube, you should check it out.
G1 Tracks was one of my favorites because he was so unique. I liked how connecting his legs together made the Autobot symbol with flames on the hood. And the wings! And the sunroof flap, for Diaclone, I guess?
I’ll probably hold off on this one until they release the road rage repaint of it, just prefer the look of it and if we’re lucky it might fix the issues with this figure
Great review. While he does look good, the boring flame hood, the issues with holding together and the faux chest made me decide to open up my United Tracks instead. As soon as i find it i will, thanks Emgo for the review!
For the side panels on the legs, i put a small drop of some crazy glue on the inside pins where it rotates. This made the panels more stiff and actually hold on to the small tap on the legs. Made this figure significantly better and more solid.
I still ordered this, the looks alone make up for the legs in my opinion, especially if you are like me and only buy them for the robot mode. So those legs will definitely get a remedy 😉
@@imaginaryfriend4512 Only issues seem to be poorly designed tabs, which can be fixed by the end user, which kinda stinks but is doable with superglue and an X-Acto knife.
On the front panel gap in vehicle mode, mine is like that, too. I've had success by applying forward or backward pressure while pushing it in, that seems to allow it to lock into the peg better. I'm a Tracks fanboy so I had to have him and I pretty much agree with this review. He looks great in both modes, but the legs are a downside. I'm also concerned about the car shell holding up long-term.
Oh man. Everyone has been so excited to get this guy.....and then that excitement turns to disappointment once in hand. His alt-mode is weirdly proportioned, it's almost "super-deformed". Then there's those fenders that don't connect securely in car OR robot mode. But, hey, I'm not as disappointed with Tracks as I am with that Ravage set that costs $53
It’s always surprising to see on how many transformers have “visable head syndrome” or “visable everything syndrome” especially the shellformers… watching this review I just realized that for absolutely no reason
I'm sort of glad there's so many QC issues with this one. It looks so cool, they are so expensive now, and too many great figures out there. Could use the break in having to add another to the get list!
didn’t know the fins at the back were a thing, surprisingly they do a lot to make the flight mode seem intentional. not believable, mind you, but intentional
@@megatron9339 No no, he's right. Sunstreaker's legs are entire different from Tracks. Sunstreaker's feet are formed from the front of his car mode while Track's are not, they're actual feet that's not formed from his vehicle mode parts. I think you meant by the engineering of Sunstreaker's legs should have been used but that won't work either because the legs wouldn't look accurate. They just need longer tabs and shallower slots to fix them.
I gingerly trimmed those 2 tabs on the windshield to relieve the pressure to remove it from the hood. I was too nervous the first time I transformed it. I like the design of Kingdom Tracks but the engineering seemed like a rush job in my opinion.
I removed them, but that was a mistake, i should have trimmed them just a bit, but because i removed them totally, now the transformation is easier, relieves pressure and i feel safer when transforming him, i have 2 gaps at the car hood now but its a small price to pay.
Even in his chunkiness, I think I still prefer the Reveal the Shield version, the G1 version was chunky too, but RTS didn't have a faux windshield/chest and didn't have the issues this version has.
I see you have the same problem as me, with the front wheels section.the sides don't plug very well. maybe because he is a very condensed toy with all its guts inside. I actually expected "High" on this one. Though I don't have issue with the legs.
I just put a dab of super glue on the hinge pin that holds the leg panel. Now the leg panels hold its position and does not flop around when I try to pose him. The only problem I had left are the shoulders mushroom pegs, the arms keep popping out when I rotated them
No one cares anymore since, he's either broken, or in whatever your favorite mode is, never to be touched again. BUT, in case not, his arms in vehicle mode are very difficult to free up. I did discover that if you pull the wings out, and then, twist the forearm to the inside, it'll kinda pop the arm loose, so much easier.
With the front of the car not tabbing in. I would use a hair dryer to put some heat on it and hold it together until it cools down. Had the issue with my Siege Ironhide window not closing down in vehicle mode.
Ah, yes. Now we just need a better version of Knock Out, and these two can have a Battle of the Paintjobs, a war to decide who is truly the most fabulous Cybertronian of all.
defiantly have to say rhinox is the earthrise megatron of kingdom while tracks is the double dealer of kingdom can't what to we see the kingdom version of earth rise arcee
Kudos, Mr Emgo, Sir. Your videos are so helpful whe nan old fart like me tries to transform some of these. I just did the fix for the legs (that I saw elsewhere, and that seems to work very well. pre-ordered Road Rage today, and once I get her, I will do that on her before adding her to the group at work
I've heard one theory that the rivets which hold the fenders on aren't driven in all the way. This may be why the tabs can't catch in either mode. The fenders are sticking out too far. The upcoming Road Rage may remedy this issue. She probably won't remedy that clear plastic car shell. That thing is a time bomb.
It's not a theory, I mostly fixed mine by pushing those pins further in, and other people did as well. It really helps a lot. The other reason why the fenders stick out is tight clearance of the feet where they rest underneath the windshield.
Tracks was a childhood favorite, but does he count as a triple changer? he has flight mode, but not an actual 3rd vehicle mode, so is he a triple changer?
Like G1 Tracks, Kingdom Tracks can't stand up very well either. That's some impressive dedication to the source material.
Everything is fixable, we shouldn't have too , but all things are fixable .
i would think being such a vintage corvette, he'd have an eight-track mind
SO FUNFACT: There's two Megatron Cards as far as I know. The one that reveals Galvatron. And the other with a tall shield, battle axe, and chains
yes only 2 . Megatron Gladiator and Galvatron
In flight mode he looks like he would fit in with M.A.S.K.
Oh yeahhhh that one organization with Silas from the Prime cartoon?
@@knightnight9775 no, that’s M.E.C.H.
@@knightnight9775 No, I mean the M.A.S.K. from the cartoon from the 80s of the same name. It stands for Mobile Armored Strike Kommand. The show is on youtube, you should check it out.
That is what I was thinking as well. To me, Tracks is the most "M.A.S.K." like robot of the Autobots.
M.A.S.K did get referenced in Transformers Prime when Optimus Prime scanned his new truck mode.
You sure nailed Tracks’s voice! Nice review, as always!
I thought so too, spot on!
ToyHax has me so brainwashed that I can already see where he needs labels.
There’s something oh so satisfying with that Emgo’s “BLLLLLLOOOOOOSSSSSHHHH!!!”
Fax bro
G1 Tracks was one of my favorites because he was so unique. I liked how connecting his legs together made the Autobot symbol with flames on the hood. And the wings! And the sunroof flap, for Diaclone, I guess?
If the word Letdown is a figure, this Tracks surely is lol
Nice Friends reference!
“The One with the Embryos”
Screwing tracks is easy. It nailing him that's the trick.
I’ll probably hold off on this one until they release the road rage repaint of it, just prefer the look of it and if we’re lucky it might fix the issues with this figure

Can you explain it a bit further?

G1 Tracks still looks sharp AF in car mode.
Thought the same thing when he brought it out
G1 Tracks is phenomenal
I just can't bring myself to add this one to my collection. I was really hoping they would do him justice.
Too bad, I really wanted this one until I saw all those QC issues/ bad engineering.
I would have liked to see a seige tracks just to see a cybertonian tracks
@@imaginaryfriend4512 Only issues seem to be poorly designed tabs, which can be fixed by the end user, which kinda stinks but is doable with superglue and an X-Acto knife.
Transformation looks interesting, just wish the final result was executed better
He has both ankle tiltage and ankle flotage
THANK YOU for not stealing figures!
@Damian Skyfire I'm assuming your talking about prime va prime.
@Damian Skyfire Is there any proof about that?
@Damian Skyfire And kremzeek, chefatron, and optibotimus (attempted to steal)
@Damian Skyfire There were a couple screenshots optibotimus took that exposed tonton.
@Damian Skyfire That's not really "proof". I'd be really interested in actual evidence.
On the front panel gap in vehicle mode, mine is like that, too. I've had success by applying forward or backward pressure while pushing it in, that seems to allow it to lock into the peg better.
I'm a Tracks fanboy so I had to have him and I pretty much agree with this review. He looks great in both modes, but the legs are a downside. I'm also concerned about the car shell holding up long-term.
Tbh, I would say my only real complaint is the lack of paint on the wings.

"They've been able to screw him really good, but they just haven't been able to nail him." PRICELESS!!
Love that Prime didn’t even bother to tell Tracks to rise.
I got this thing coming in the mail. After watching your video im having buyer's remorse and I haven't even got it yet. What a mess!
It’s always surprising to see on how many transformers have “visable head syndrome” or “visable everything syndrome” especially the shellformers… watching this review I just realized that for absolutely no reason
Damn This Is My Favorite Transformers Reviewer Since I Was 7 YO 🤣
Same
Never a good sign, when not even five minutes into the review, issues present themselves.
I'm sort of glad there's so many QC issues with this one. It looks so cool, they are so expensive now, and too many great figures out there. Could use the break in having to add another to the get list!
"Those side-panels are major offenders"
So the major offenders are his fenders! XD
Next is Wingfinger right? Look forward to his review.
Who ? That's a funny name
Haha funny name
didn’t know the fins at the back were a thing, surprisingly they do a lot to make the flight mode seem intentional. not believable, mind you, but intentional
They (HasTak) really should've used the Sunstreaker mold for the legs.
So... you want it to look nothing like Tracks, then?
@@JomasterTheSecond I want it to work
@@megatron9339 But then it wouldn't look like Tracks. A Countach is not a Corvette.
@@JomasterTheSecond Okay, whatever floats your boat. 👍

There is a upgrade kit for this tracks to lock the leg panels in place in robot mode.
Can you send the link for this kit?
I think the Gen1 tracks with the pull apart and pull out legs was a much better design than the remakes.
Why I feel like his legs are similar to MP tracks.
They also have that same issue in vehicle mode for me, my MP is like that too 🙄
The gaps in car mode is because the stunticons where playing bumper cars with tracks. True Story it was on cnn
LOL
His alt mode looks like someone tried to build a model kit of a C3 Corvette blindfolded.
Does anyone else miss the days when Transformers toys were packaged in their vehicle mode?
I very much miss those days. it made for a better first experience with the figure
@@emgo316 could you dm me the link for the ring please and thank you
Try pushing the feet all the way up to the windshield and it will make everything hold into place even when you have it in car air mode
I gingerly trimmed those 2 tabs on the windshield to relieve the pressure to remove it from the hood. I was too nervous the first time I transformed it. I like the design of Kingdom Tracks but the engineering seemed like a rush job in my opinion.

Looks like I may skip him, the RtS version seems more solid, as sad as that is.
I’ve always found it funny how his name is tracks even though he turns into a can and a flying car but nothing that goes on rails
I see you have the same problem as me, with the front wheels section.the sides don't plug very well.
maybe because he is a very condensed toy with all its guts inside.
I actually expected "High" on this one. Though I don't have issue with the legs.
The flames could have been better and i miss the times would be mounted on proper plastic for Windows
I just put a dab of super glue on the hinge pin that holds the leg panel. Now the leg panels hold its position and does not flop around when I try to pose him. The only problem I had left are the shoulders mushroom pegs, the arms keep popping out when I rotated them
Emgo: he's ok at best
Eventually DNA/upgrade companies: Allow us to introduce us
Even though it goes against my better judgement, I'm excited about getting this figure.
It sad they have made so many good almost mp style in these waves then they drop the ball on others like this one.
TRUBO Trax!!!!
That old RTS mold is still a great figure imo
i fixed my tracks leg by putting superglue on the tab on the leg and on the hinge of the side leg.and mine now rarely untab now

LOL, the box art uses Road Rage's head instead of Tracks.
Seems to be a running thing. Hound had Hot Shot’s head and I think I heard something about Sideswipe and Red Alert swapping heads
We need upgrade kits to make the legs solid. It will force us to spend more money but make the legs hold better
You should try and get the alternators version of Tracks.
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Alternators Tracks is the BEST version!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tracks was always my favourite Autobot so despite all his Flavs, I will get him anyways :-D
PS: Now we need a new Blaster. ;-)
If emgo can't make it flush then it's definitely QC problems
Mean blooooooosh?
I feel like this mold Proves/Shows it was possible to make a non-partsforming Arcee in ER.. sure a big back pack, but not bad..
I had trouble with those pegs but you just have to get the feet facing down and if it still doesnt work make sure the leg is fully compacted together.
There was definitely an opportunity for a flying car “rise” joke there lol
They have leg panel locks you can pick up on eBay
Yeah…definitely the weakest Carbot in the whole WFC trilogy imo. I honestly think that the designers just really hate him for being a narcissist lol.
I have a theory: Autobot Tracks in some shows was called Hotshot
With the front of the car not tabbing in. I would use a hair dryer to put some heat on it and hold it together until it cools down. Had the issue with my Siege Ironhide window not closing down in vehicle mode.
Yep,need a flight stand
My mp25 tracks has an upside down autobot logo so I’m happy that this one can’t
I could’ve sworn his name was spelled “Traxx” when I was a kid.
“Mandela Effect” 😳
Ah, yes. Now we just need a better version of Knock Out, and these two can have a Battle of the Paintjobs, a war to decide who is truly the most fabulous Cybertronian of all.
That Knockout was objectively bad
@@LankySanky Him and Airachnid both
@@KnightsRealm98 that thing has been blocked out of my memory 😬
@@LankySanky Sorry for renewing the memory 🤣 Wish I could forget that abomination
I’m sad about this because tracks is my favourite character but luckily I managed to get a good one and his legs stay together quite well
the windsheild in vehicle. Seperate the legs.
It's amazing that his the only deluxe figure that can fit inside prime trailer.
I’m so glad that two not really known transformers are getting released and I love it
I got Tracks at first the legs bugged me a bit. Although it bugs me more at how loose my figures joints are he's very floppy. 💾
defiantly have to say rhinox is the earthrise megatron of kingdom while tracks is the double dealer of
kingdom can't what to we see the kingdom version of earth rise arcee
Pretty sure it’s a 60s Corvette
>Hooray for stickers and cards
Sticards
Mine came with Blackarachnia card
Hopefully someone will come along and make an upgrade kit for the legs to lock in place better.
I got that to from toy kingdom last year slash sticker is blarerecknia
As much as he has his problems... I still want one.
Shame that Tracks has come along as such an underdog. I still want him as well. Cant deny a blue sports car.

seems like Age of extinction 2nd mold of bumblebee
"You made a flying DeLorean... out of a Transformer?!" With that mode, I mean. Come now. There has to be a reference.
Yup, hehe. I don't have Gigawatt and I'm not planning on picking up Tracks, but the flying car mode is cool.
I've heard one theory that the rivets which hold the fenders on aren't driven in all the way. This may be why the tabs can't catch in either mode. The fenders are sticking out too far. The upcoming Road Rage may remedy this issue.

@@Quantumhawk Ah. Good to know.
Ordered this guy from Amazon and the card was that of the Ark.
Just recently got this figure and just now bought scorponkok kingdom
Accurate to the G1 version, except that I don't like the way the feet aren't directly connected to the legs.
If they could put a toy person in him it would be Raoul.
How could they have messed this figure up so badly from the waste down? After the Sunstreaker paint issue this is a massive disappointment.
Sticker bois are gonna have fun with this one.
I got tracks yesterday did you know the wing on his left arm has a peg that is BLOOSH compatible
This figure definitely needed a few more revisions
I have a problem with the gap too
So here's a question are his leg fenders maybe like a qc thing? Like do you know if other trax suffers from the same issue?
Iol.. the legs are the oFENDER... I see what you did there.
I finally found a track and I see what your issue was
Tracks was a childhood favorite, but does he count as a triple changer? he has flight mode, but not an actual 3rd vehicle mode, so is he a triple changer?
I dont think so i think thats just a super power he has XD
So primes team can go above and beyond, but they cant rise?
