Ratchet joints are placed at wrong areas where I feel the feet will wear off and is probably the weakness in this toy.

The car doesn't feel that great and the pin at the window spoils the look.

IMO the toy is not worth if you paid over $90 for it. I am not going into shipping charges where some stores have abused it and took advantage of it when is actually same size box.

On the plus notes, the robot form is okay, I think the face should have matched what was shown on the box as the box shows Tracks face pretty good as compared to the toy product.

Someone fill me in, is this a different designer from Bluestreak, Wheeljack and Lambor? because I feel that the person may be trying a bit too hard and didn't simplify things where it should.

Yes/No to purchase? I can't say no if you collected this line for cars this far.
But as a toy itself, I am a bit disappointed on how it is.
You know the box art is just a photo of the toy right? Unless they changed the mould somewhere along the line the faces are the same.

And yes, Bluestreak, Sideswipe and Wheeljack were designed by Shogo Hasui. It is believed that Hironori Kobayashi, the designer that did MP-9, did Tracks
