Road Rage pre-ordered. Bring on the corvettes :)
Theres photos from the Tokyo toy show making it round the net. Check out those flight stands for Tracks and Road Rage. They will look awesome displayed behind the other cars. Glad I gave in and pre-ordered both.

From TFW member Sam comes a link to a flicker page showing a nice clear closeup pic of MP Road Rage. Legs are a wee bit hollow but still looks good.

I think I should have pre ordered her not Tracks. LOL
Tracks looks good too but RoadnRage is growing on me.
I bought it because is cheap compared to tracks.Quote:

Now they are using the original C3 emblem infront the box of Road Rage while Tracks used the latest one
What's the relevance of Twincast as an accessory? (excuse my ignorance)
I don't think it will have anything to do with Roadrage (storywise). I think it just makes use of part of the tooling for Tracks... or to make sure some fans didn't complain about the wasted opportunity of having Twincast done from the Blaster accessory. If they could have redecoed Raoul into someone plausible as well, they probably would have.Quote:

So NY has already shipped my Road Rage sometime back, I just saw Goki's page which showed the box.
It might be early for me to pass judgement but from the looks of it TT had cut cost and not paint Road Rage and instead gave plastic red.
I am getting to the point that I might not want to collect mps anymore if they are just going to skip paint apps.
I just gotten my Sideswipe mp from jetfire and WOW the red was well done!
Look at it just pop!
Look back at Tracks and I am like "really?"
I am so afraid how ironhide will be as this is a major blow if everything just looks plastic moulded and is rather a dull finish. I hope I am wrong.
It is explained in Road Rage's bio. See translation here.Quote:

Wheeljack seems to be where have left me bored as the plastic white just doesn't work.
If road Rage is painted, I can tell you right now is better than Tracks, else I think I wasted my money.
Wasn't sure where to post this one, but there didn't seem to be a pic of the coin in this thread.
But I also have a question. Is it just me, or does the packaging remind anyone else of the Decepticon symbol?

It also got me thinking. On the 1985 (?) box art with "red tracks", there are three images at different stages of transformation. I wondered if there was a perceptible faction symbol on any of these images.
Looking at the print in Transformers Legacy and zooming in, I got these:
http://i781.photobucket.com/albums/y...psp3hlr2ve.jpg
http://i781.photobucket.com/albums/y...ps6npmsu9x.jpg
Which don't really look like a symbol at all, but letters, so I used the back of my G1 Roadbuster box to get:
http://i781.photobucket.com/albums/y...psh66p5ipi.jpg
And then this:
http://i781.photobucket.com/albums/y...psk57xjeny.jpg
Much clearer image and is that not a DS? Maybe for Decepticon symbol? Why was the symbol never painted? And if "red Tracks" was supposed to be a Decepticon, why was Roadrage made an Autobot? Could the shape of the packaging for the coin be a nod to this?
Is this even a thing, or am I seeing things that aren't there? I'd love another opinion!
Rumour has it there were plans to have some of the Diaclone repaints made into Decepticon cars back in the 80's, hence MP Exhaust is a sort of homage to this idea.
However when it came round to releasing Road Rage in 2002 Takara probably decided to make her an Autobot because it made more sense to them at the time, or some other reason. This is all just theory really.
I was seeing what I wanted to see :(
It's CS not DS FOR corvette stingray from the diaclone:

I should have done my homework.
Still think the coin packaging looks like a Decepticon symbol though.
For anyone who missed out on Road Rage, Nippon-Yasan has it for 2,980 Yen on clearance.

unfortunately it looks cheap but jpy went up so much is about the same price as previous sale.Quote:
