Transformers Masterpiece Road Rage
Please read my review of Masterpiece Tracks.
Road Rage sports a new weapon. It is based on G1 Tracks weapon. It was kind of a pain to get it to attach to her hand, as there is a rectangular peg that has to slid into the slot on the top of her hand. I had a hard time getting it clipped on. The toy looks pretty cool in these colors. While the car mode only differs from Tracks in colors, in robot mode they have made a few modifications. Her waist has been remolded, as have her thighs. I think the intention was to make her look more feminine. Both are less boxy than Tracks. Her upper chest has also been remolded. I think the idea is to make it look like she has breasts, but it kind of fails as the lower part of her chest is completely flat. I mean, I get the idea, but still it’s a little ridiculous. The original toy was identical in mold to Tracks. Her head sculpt is a bit of an issue for me. It looks great, but I have no idea what it is supposed to be based on. I know that the character was female, but the toy was a straight repaint of G1 Tracks (or vice versa as it was a Diaclone and came before Tracks). I would have much preferred her have the G1 Tracks head sculpt. Don’t get me wrong, it looks fantastic, but it means nothing to me. I am tempted to say this is one for completists, but it’s only the second use of the mold and the car mode is so good in these colors, I think this one is a must.
Thanks for reading!

Obviously, since this one is currently (not) selling for even half the original price….
