    This magazine isn't due out for another 3 days! No wonder they're sneaky-pic quality... My first impression is they should have given him a more unique decal on the front.

    Anyone read blurry Japanese? I'm wondering if this is another TTM Exclusive.
    I have a list of all G1 characters that have been released in CHUG form. You can find it here. Please feel free to let me know if I got anything wrong so I can fix it.

    This looks awesome and as I'll never own a legit black Tracks, this will be a definite for the collection!

    yes it says Tokyo Toy Show exclusive 8500 yen which is on 11th and 12th of June. But just like Silverstreak (not sure with Tigertrack) it will be available thru Takara Tomy Mall after.

    it will include a masked head and Road Rage's rifle but did not say who is the figure included.

    edit: the masked head could be the prototype images floating around after tracks was released. also it says it is a decepticon as the purple base shows but the chest is still autobot

    I would expect PC to also get it through their Hasbro Asia contacts.

    Another nice MP for the shelf!

    yeah even at a later date we can expect PC would get them. Our TakTomMall-Tenso would be very expensive now just for an MP car as i just got email from Tenso increasing EMS by 500yen this May

    IMO making it a limited exclusive honestly makes more sense for TakaraTOMY than a mass retail release, especially considering how badly Road Rage is shelf warming. Black Pedal is an even more obscure than Road Rage. Road Rage is based on one of Tracks' Diaclone colours and was actually released by Hasbro as a variant of Tracks in 1985 in some places, and of course appeared in the 1985 diorama art. Black Pedal, on the other hand, is based on a random black repaint of Tracks... in a time when Takara just had this thing for black repaints.

    This character didn't have a name until now (tfwiki hasn't made a page for him yet). So while being a limited exclusive does certainly make it difficult* for fans to get the toy, I think that it makes more sense for TakTOM.

    *I know of local Japanese fans who attended the Tokyo Toy Show to get MP Tiger Track and still missed out on getting it!
