Hi, I'm basically Knock Out.

Tracks is the best thing to happen to the universe! Let us count the ways:

  1. He's pretty.
  2. You're not pretty.
  3. He's courageous.
  4. You're kind of a pansy.
  5. He's way crueler.
  6. See 4.
  7. He can transform into a sleek car which can also fly at sub-sonic speeds.
  8. Seriously, quit trying. It's embarrassing.
There was once a prophecy that there would emerge the greatest looking Autobot of all and his name would be Tracks.

I'm just too good for this story, is all.

Tracks helped Wheeljack break Ultra Magnus and the Junkions out of the prisons on Paradron and traveled with them through the stellar spanner to an alternate universe. Tracks remarked that the heroic Autobots of that universe were embarrassingly weak. After stealing that universe's Earth, bringing it to their own universe's Cybertron, and destroying the alternate dimension, Ultra Magnus declared victory and Tracks fled with him to parts unknown.

Tracks continued to be active on that version of Earth for some time. High Noon He remained allied with Ultra Magnus as he continued his schemes to draw upon more multiversal energy using the Terminus Blade. Restoration

Timelines

  • Invasion (Multi-pack, 2012)
  • Accessories: 2 clip-on missile launchers, 1 gun/clip-on launcher
A redeco of the heroic Transformers: Reveal the Shield Deluxe Class Turbo Tracks, Timelines/Shattered Glass "Turbo Tracks" transforms from a red sports car into a winged robot. He comes with three C joint weapons, one of which can be hand-held, while the missile launchers clip behind his head. He can also assume a flying car mode by folding out the wings in car mode and moving the missile launchers from under the doors to tabs on a rotatable flip-out panel just behind the rear window. This configuration frees up the launchers' clips, allowing Cyberverse accessories to be attached. His main gun can then attach to his underside.
Tracks was only available in a BotCon 2012-exclusive box set with Soundwave, Ultra Magnus, Treadshot, Gigatron, and Metalhawk. This set was also sold through e-HOBBY in Japan as part of a collaboration.
According to Pete Sinclair, SG Tracks' deco is based on the Diaclone version of the original Tracks toy and the red Tracks pictured on the back of 1985 toy packages. Despite not being an intentional reference, this makes the toy look similar to the retro-G1 character Road Rage. The e-HOBBY webpage for the BotCon set even notes that this Tracks can be used as such.
This mold was retooled into Generations Wheeljack, as well as Timelines Runamuck and Over-Run.
