Cant wait to have tracks and road rage both on their flight stands........waits for the eventual black repaint

Road Rage doesn't come with a flight-stand, only Tracks does.

Your only evidence is what they put on at a display show? Refer to this post

Oh ok. Well it would be. Nice surprise if it does. Otherwise might have to get a second one another way

Finished translating/adapting the first page of the instruction sheet, which are the bios and blurbs, as well as instructions for transforming Tracks to flight mode. Page 2 has the legal blurb and instructions for transforming Tracks to robot mode, as well as on how to attach him to the display stand. The original Japanese version is typically centred around the G1 cartoon. For Hasbro's adaptation, I have also included references to the G1 Marvel comics. Here are the texts if anyone would like to proof read.

Vehicle Mode bio
Tracks’ vehicle mode is the exotic Corvette Stingray C3, with the distinctive curvature in its design. In addition to the inherent beauty of the Corvette’s form, Tracks is primarily coloured blue like his beloved Earth with flames emblazened on his bonnet, creating a powerful visual impact. Enamoured with the beauty of his vehicle mode, which he favours over his robot mode. Concerned over marring his appearance, Tracks often remains in his more vulnerable vehicular mode in battle when logic dictates he revert to his robot mode. In the G1 cartoon, Tracks’ beautiful vehicle mode made him a target for car thieves and ended up having his bonnet smashed after running into a power pole. There have also been times when Tracks has sustained horrific damage to his proud body, such as when he was crushed by Blitzwing’s tank mode. In the G1 comics, Tracks voluntarily allowed his mind to be stored in a control crystal aboard the Ark. He was later restored to life on Earth with his mind transferred to a newly constructed body. Tracks was a casualty of the Underbase Saga, then later revived in the Earthforce Saga.

Robot Mode Bio
Allegiance: Autobot Function: Warrior
“Looking good is what life is all about.”
Tracks’ preference for the sleek and classy look of his Earthen vehicular mode over his original robot form has been met with derision from some of his fellow Autobots, earning him the nickname of ‘lousy Earth-lover.’ Tracks simply believes that his critics are envious that their vehicle modes are not as beautiful as his. In actuality, other Autobots believe that Tracks prioritises his cosmetic beauty above their ongoing struggle against the Decepticons. As a car, Tracks can reach speeds of 450km/h. Able to produce wings from under rear fenders to achieve sub-sonic flight. Fires heat-seeking incendiary missiles up to 100km. In robot mode, Tracks is armed with a black beam gun which effectively blinds opponents for several minutes.

Black Beam Gun
Tracks is armed with a black beam gun which shoots a beam of black light. This adhesive beam adheres to its target, rendering them unable to see through it for several minutes.

Flight Mode
Tracks is able to sprout wings from under his fenders, which allow him to fly at sub-sonic speeds. As well as being able to adapt a heat-seeking missile launcher, Tracks is also equipped with a front-mounted laser gun, enhancing his ability to engage in dogfights with Decepticon jets.

Raoul
This New Yorker had been stealing cars from an early age. Initially intending to sell Tracks, Raoul later reformed and became a good friend.

Blaster
Blaster is an Autobot who transforms into a tape deck. Tracks and Blaster enjoy a good rapport, sharing a common interest in Earth culture.

And here's the image for Tracks' box front.

Holy Kent. Hasbro has agreed to put your OTCA name on the front of the box.

EDIT: It's a watermark.

No typos or other errors/anomalies then? Good.

Just finished translating p.2 legal blurbs & instructions for transforming Tracks to flight mode (the previous one was just on how to weaponise his flight mode). Remaining tasks:
* Translate instructions for conversion to robot mode <---this will be the most time consuming
* Translate instructions on how to attach Tracks to display stand

Presumably at the same price as other imports?
