'''Bumblebee''' is based on G1 Bumblebee, and is likely a loveable little 'bot who gets along best with the humans and gets beat up by the Decepticons. He's also getting a $90 toy with voice activation features. Bumblebee hates your wallet.

Bumblebee turns into a Chevrolet Camaro.

Talk:Rage (BW)

Was this also an episode of the Anime? It's been literally ages isnce I watched neo, but I have the encodes, (lousy quality) and could probably get a better pic/summary if someone has an episode #/title. -[[User:Derik|Derik]] 18:38, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

I am led to believe that Rahge didn't exist until the BWNeo manga compilation, which filled in chapter-breaks with short stories text stories. --[[User:Monzo|Monzo]] 23:52, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

:ooh, Doug posted a translation...
:<nowiki>*quickly scans the others*</nowiki>
:Let's see how good a mood he's in... -[[User:Derik|Derik]] 05:23, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

==Name?==
What's the origin of "Rahge"? I ask because names of Japanese origin wouldn't have "h" and "g" next to each other. (No, I'm not proposing we rename every Japanese character into a transliteration of their Katakana.) [[User:Interrobang|Interrobang]] 00:02, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
: It might be a pronunciation helper, so us English tykes know it's supposed to sound like "Roj" instead of "Rayj." Dlin's known for doing that, IIRC. --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 01:58, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
:: I think it's "rah-geh." Japanese words don't end with the "JuDGE fuDGE" sound, unless her name is something like "raaju" and it's implied that you whisper the 'u' at the end. But then why would the English name end with an E? -P_P<div id="wikia-credits"><br /><br /><small>From [http://transformers.wikia.com Teletraan I: The Transformers Wiki], a [http://www.wikia.com Wikia] wiki.</small></div>

Tracks (G1)

2007-01-29T22:18:23Z

67.187.189.180: /* Animated continuity */

:''Tracks is an [[Autobot]] in the [[Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:tracksg1.jpg|right|thumb|300px|Hi, I'm fabulous.]]

'''Tracks''' is a little bit of a narcissist, according to his Autobot buddies, and it's hard for him to stay lighthearted and gay under such criticism. He attributes it to jealousy: few Autobots are so well-endowed with a sleek, muscular, and tastefully decorated sports car mode as his.

The truth is, Tracks' armament is considerable. He is able to launch two flaming incendiary missiles from long and durable launcher shafts. These projectiles are heat-seeking, tracing the warmth of unsuspecting Decepticon bodies and striking hard. He is further armed with a black-beam gun, which shoots forth a beam of light-negating radiation, embracing his enemies in darkness, unaware of the Autobot until he strikes from behind, and leaves them moaning on the cold ground!

Tracks can also fly like a butterfly by deploying his secret, hidden wings from their protective closet.

He should be a dangerous opponent, but his concern with preserving his stylish appearance and poor ability to work with fellow Autobots hampers him. Often he simply cruises the metro area alone all night, looking for Decepticons worthy of his attentions.

==Fiction==
===Marvel Comics continuity===

===Animated continuity===
:''Voice actor:'' [[Michael McConnohie]] (USA), [[Shô Hayami]] (Japan)
[[Image:trackscruc2.jpg|right|thumb|150px|Radio killed the video star.]]

When [[San Francisco]] was threatened by an [[Asteroid bird alien|alien bird creature]], Tracks risked his life in battle to defend the city. {{Storylink|The Secret of Omega Supreme}}

Tracks had two turns as the episode star in the second season of Transformers. In both episodes, [[Make Tracks]] and [[Auto-Bop]], a young street punk named [[Raoul]] was also featured as the [[Spike]] to Tracks' [[Bumblebee]].

Tracks was part of a preemptive strike against a series of Stunticon raids on human compounds; he took to the air at one point, prompting Dead End to remark that his flying car mode was "droll".

==Toys==
===Generation 1===
*'''Tracks''' (Autobot, 1985)
: ''Japanese ID number:'' '''44'''
[[Image:G1Tracks_toy.jpg|left|thumb|150px|Some looks just don't go out of fashion, my dear.]]

: The original Tracks toy transforms into a blue Corvette Stingray with a large flame decal on his hood. Via two flip-out wings and attachable rocket launchers, Tracks' vehicle mode could achieve a flight mode. In robot mode, Tracks is armed with a long rifle that covers most of his lower arm, and the two white rocket launchers are now attached to the head structure.

: The European version of Tracks by Milton Bradley was initially available in red, based on the original Diaclone color scheme. Due to poor sales, Hasbro decided to re-release Tracks in Europe, this time in his blue US colors. Because of this, the red MB version ended up being rather rare.

: This mold was used to make [[Road Rage]], based on the red European version.

*'''Tracks with Basher''' (Action Master, 1991)
[[Image:AMTracks_toy.jpg|right|thumb|150px|As if I would be seen wearing ''that''.]]

: This version of Tracks was was a European [[exclusive]], sculpted to resemble his cartoon appearances, but was inaccurately coloured. As with all Action Masters, he cannot transform, but is highly articulted by the standards of the time, and came with small tank partner named Basher who could transform to a minor degree. Basher formed a sort of battle helmet/ugly hat and backpack equipment, coloured in bright green and baby blue. ''Oy.''

===Alternators===
*'''Autobot Tracks''' (2004, 2006)
: ''Japanese ID number:'' '''BT-06'''
[[Image:BTTracks_toy.jpg|left|thumb|150px|You can colour me blue, you can colour me yellow, but I will still be that most excellent fellow.]]

: Tracks was first released in Japan under [[Takara]]'s ''[[Binaltech]]'' line, with a yellow paint job, but was later released in blue to match [[Hasbro]]'s ''[[Alternators]]'' release. Tracks transforms into a Corvette Z06 featuring open doors, hood and a realistic interior. Amusingly enough, his rocket launchers are stored next to the passenger and driver seats.

: In robot mode, Tracks greatly resembles his G1 self, though with one major difference - the roof of his actual car no longer forms the front of his chest. Instead, he has a pseudo-car roof chest piece that folds down. His large shoulder pads formed from the rear halves of the car, give the impression of the wings his original toy had. He is armed with his double-barreled engine gun, two pairs of double-barreled slide-out wrist blasters, and two shoulder mounted rocket launchers, making him the most heavily armed Alternators toy.

: The main difference between the Japanese and US releases is that the Japanese Binaltech versions are constructed of die-cast metal for the majority of the car body panels, which are also fully painted. The blue version of Binaltech Tracks also came with a large reproduction of his original hood flame sticker. This sticker was eventually released with Hasbro's own Alternators [[Swerve (G1)|Swerve]].

===Merchandise===

==Trivia==
*It is frequently joked amongst Transformers fans that Tracks is a homosexual, although the character has not actually demonstrated any romantic interest in other male characters.

* Voice actor [[Michael McConnohie]] claims Tracks is not gay. He chose the voice of Thurston Howell (played by Jim Backus) from ''Gilligan's Island'' as the basis for the snooty voice and mannerisms. McConnohie refers to Tracks' manner of dialect as a "Harvard Lockjaw".

* In parts of Europe, Tracks was released in the Diaclone toy's red deco. It is possible Hasbro has originally planned for tracks to be released in Diaclone colors, as Tracks is red complete with the Diaclone hood stickers ("CS" instead of the Autobot sigil) on the 1985 back-of-the-box mural.

*The [[Binaltech]]/[[Alternator]] Dodge Viper mold, first released as [[Sideswipe]], was originally designed as Tracks. In "The Transformers: Binaltech & TF Collection Complete Guide," a Japan only book on the series released in 2005, there are design drawings with Tracks' head, as well as a different transformation for the doors allowing them to more closely resemble Tracks' G1 wings. Although the original design drawings have certain Tracks-like features more pronounced, the final release version still has the basic design and many mold details that resemble Tracks more so than Sideswipe.

67.187.189.180: Really obscure caption joke.

[[Image:Nicholas.jpg|left|thumb|By golly, this lollipop is following me!]]

'''Dum Dum''' works for America's super-spy organization S.H.I.E.L.D. with his pal [[Nicholas]]. When the Transformers cause their first ruckus upon waking up in 1984, Dum Dum thinks it's a situation worth looking into.

''Note: Dum Dum is actually Dum Dum Dugan, an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. His appearance with Nick Fury (Nicholas) served to establish the Transformers into the Marvel universe.''
