Tracks

A photo of Tracks from the Transformers Binaltech line.

It was originally released yellow and I’m glad I waited for the blue version. I can understand why it might not matter to some but it does to me. This Binaltech figure has a lot of references to the character’s original G1 form and it would be odd to get it in a different colour scheme.

Regardless of the colours, this sleek vehicle is a worthy alternate mode for the fashionable Autobot.
