I mentioned back when I was getting my Runabout and Runamuck that they were numbers three and four of the five versions of the Tracks/Wheeljack mold I was destined to own, and here’s number five. It’s Shattered Glass Tracks! His personality is that he’s Tracks, but he’s evil. He’s not opposite in any way other than the heroic/evil switch. He’s still ridiculously vain. Not the most interesting direction to go with him, but considering Tracks is generally considered a gay dude by the fandom, flipping that around could have gone unintentionally terribly wrong, so let’s count our blessings.
He’s in red Diaclone colors, which is what Road Rage also is, so you can repurpose this red Tracks as her. If you want. Maybe you should, since SG Tracks got all of 3 panels of exposure in this year’s convention comic, so it’s not like he left much of a mark.
Looking at my sea of Trackses, I feel sorry for Wheeljack. Only his head didn’t get used more than once! Everyone else’s head got two uses. Maybe Hasbro or Tomy should fix that, giving me six uses of the mold.
Not sure who it should be. I already got a Slicer.
And Botcon Slicer was intended to be able to be repurposed as Shattered Glass Wheeljack, right? So, how about they repaint Generations Wheeljack and make him the “official” Shattered Glass Wheeljack? Especially since the Energon Downshift mold Slicer is made from leaves a lot to be desired anyway.
Or why don’t they leave SG Wheeljack as-is given he has a sculpted Autobot symbol on him and they make a new Slicer out of Prime Wheeljack. A Wheeljack with swords is just too perfect to not make into Slicer.
Interesting idea about Prime Wheeljack. I like it. But Willis still wants another use of the Tracks mold with the Wheeljack head. I’m not sure who else they could make besides SG Wheeljack or Slicer.
Maybe Shattered Glass Slicer?
Yeah, well I think Willis is going to have to deal with it. Wheeljack’s got a pretty distinct noggin, it pretty much only works for him and Slicer. Maybe Gutcruncher but the body would be all wrong.

I just want to know whether this means RtS Tracks is actually Shattered Glass Road Rage.
I wonder how hard it would be to swap the front end and head with Wheeljack and get a serviceable Marlbor. Obviously you’d have to remove the flames but I’m assuming the parts are molded in red so a little remover should be able to handle that.
G1 Downshift – he has a similar body structure, behind-the-head missiles and a faceplate head.
Of course, problem is his legs have the hood facing forward like Wheeljack, and he’s a white car like Wheeljack.
Y’know, technically, SG Tracks not only doubles as Road Rage, but could also be an update of AM Wheeljack’s Turbo Racer.
Wheeljacks head could be used if they made Big Daddy or E Downshift.
Downshift’s a little too close unless they did it in his Cybertron colors. Big Daddy would be interesting.
As for random, off-topic-ness, Treadshot could totally be repainted as Cybertron Crosswise! Perhaps that would be SG Smokescreen. (or Rad, if you’re Joe Kyde. Don’t steal my ice cream, Swuuuurve.)
