Having a deluxe DotM Leadfoot with the symbol on it just hanging out casually like that in the background is a fun way to humblebrag about it I suppose :lol:

Well you know China......

It was made in Vietnam, though.

And distributed from? China China has larger ports than Vietnam. Cam Rahn bay despite being military grade is not yet that fully developed to serve as a primary distribution hub.

Edit:

Checked some of my MPs

MP-10,MP-13,MP-22 made in Vietnam

MP-12,MP-20,MP-21,MP-23,MP-24 made in China

So if your info is correct, Tracks is the first Cybertron "car" made in Vietnam.

But, tell me, was it really necessary to show off that Leadfoot??? :BANG_HEAD:

Nope, I really wouldn't call that humble, it's far too on focus :lol:

Dont know if it's just the picture but there seems to be 2 paint chips on the hood, inside the curve. hope it's not a sign of things to come...

That's the Masterpiece symbol of quality. I don't think a single one of my Autobot cars is blemish free. My original Takara Tomy Bluestreak is so messed up with excessive glue I can't even transform it.

Fanstoys, DX9, Badcube, Mastermind, even KOs! (but not KFC :-)

.... with the kind of competition they are getting now they might finally be forced to improve. At the price they are selling them, they really need better qc.

Hasbro did a survey recently and there was A LOT of questions about 3rd party products...

Elementary my dear SS.

The delay issue is just the distribution. The item itself is already finished. So some retailers may have contacts on the inside of the industry " wink

wink " or display samples et al.

Another answer to SS's question meme. Those QC issues you mentioned. If that sample didn't make the cut, it is , well "thrown away" or turned into display samples or giveaways.

Looks amazing! Can't wait for the bot mode pics.

Just checking, that roof symbol is flippable like Bee's, right? Because it looks pretty dumb, even if it's cartoon-accurate.

Yeah I hope it does. I think the Autobot symbol on his roof is a bit weird looking too.

In addition to the last set of in-hand images of the upcoming (though delayed) Takara Tomy Masterpiece MP-25 Tracks, we have some more sets showing off the robot mode and box, from Chinese website Baidu. Check them out mirrored below, and stay tuned for more updates as we get them through!

Sweetness. The side view messes with the illusion a tad, but there's usually an unflattering angle or two for any of these figures.

Tracks looks about a head taller than the other cars.
Now this is a wild guess, but if Hot rod is the same height as or a little taller than tracks, and Shockwave is some heads taller than Roddy, than Shockwave should be roughly the same height as Soundwave.

hes awesome no doubt, though my lil gripe is, the red on his face just looks flat, wish it was more metalic to make it pop a lil.

heard a rumor on my facebook group that mp arcee is up next after shockwave, hotrod! fingers crossed!

But that's what the engineers had to work with. Track's original G1 design is more than epected to have a hollow back part.

Yeah I could tell even before comparisons that Tracks was a bit taller than the other car bots. I hope Hot Rod is about the same height. Tracks seems to be about the size of a large voyager.

Hot Rod ought to be even bigger than Tracks. Somewhere more around Ironhide's height.
