'''Tracks''' is a little bit of a narcissist, according to his Autobot buddies, and it's hard for him to stay lighthearted 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 deploying his secret, hidden wings from under his back fenders.

He should be a dangerous opponent, but his concern with preserving his stylish appearance and poor ability to work with fellow Autobots hampers him.

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

===Animated continuity===
:''Voice actor:'' [[Michael McConnohie]] (USA), [[Shô Hayami]] (Japan)
[[Image:trackscruc2.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Radio killed the video star.]]

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

===Dreamwave comics continuity===

==Toys==
===Generation 1===
*'''Tracks''' (Autopbot, 1985)
: ''Japanese ID number:'' '''44'''

: This mold was used to make [[Road Rage]].

*'''Tracks with Basher''' (Action Master, 1991)
: This release was a European exclusive.

===Alternators===
*'''Autobot Tracks'''
: The Binaltech release of this toy was released in both yellow and blue.

===Merchandise===

==Trivia==
* 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.
