The Trackers (aka Security Drones) serve as Sentinel Prime's henchmen. They come in three variants: the standard Silver Trackers, the Elite Golden Trackers that serve as Sentinel's personal guard, and the dark-hued, red-marked Death Trackers that act as Airachnid's enforcers.

[edit]
- Death Tracker (Galaxy Version, 2024)
- Series: Galaxy Version 05 - One
- Accessories: 2 pairs of hands (Fists/Weapon-holding, open palm), blaster, spare ball joint piece, stand
- Blokees Death Tracker is a 4.25-inch-tall non-transforming buildable figure, appearing once in every case of nine blind boxes. Like the rest of their wave, the Death Trackers feature an upgraded suite of standard body parts, with sturdier pre-assembled hinge joints and slightly more complex builds, such as the color-coded face and eyes introduced in the second wave. They also feature a new pair of forearm parts with underslung peg holes instead of being outwards on the side, which was meant for placing their arm-mounted guns.
- The Death Tracker includes the usual pairs of gripping fists and open hands, their recognizable laser blaster from the film, and a two-studded connectable figure stand.
- If you're a speed builder, be mindful when attaching the pre-assembled joints; Unlike the symmetrical joints from earlier waves, the pegs on both ends of these joints are designed to connect to specific pieces; The tabs with slightly smaller holes are intended for the upper arms and thighs, while the regular tabs are meant for the forearms and lower legs. While an incorrect knee joint assembly may cause it to very slightly lean when standing straight or in an A-stance, an incorrect elbow assembly won't be noticeably affected unless you're looking very closely.

- Silver Tracker (Galaxy Version, 2025)
- Accessories: 2 pairs of hands (Fists/Weapon-holding, open palm), spare ball joint piece, stand
- This Blokees kit of the Tracker is redecoed in silver to represent the standard troops. Being a redeco of the original kit, their articulation remains the same, with accessories mostly carrying over, though the generic blaster has been excised.

Notes
[edit]
- At least two additional types of Trackers were conceptualized during the development for the movie but went ultimately unused in the final product: a white and red "Galactic Scout" Tracker and a dark gray and white "Commando" Tracker.
- The Trackers are heavily based on the Vehicons from Transformers: Prime, as numerous, faceless foot soldiers utilized by the villain of their continuity.
- On its own, the movie is unclear if Trackers are fully sapient or not. Their robotic voices, blind obedience, slow reaction times, and being mass-produced all imply that they might be only semi-autonomous drones. Orion Pax encourages shows of mercy to Airachnid and Sentinel Prime, but has no problems killing Trackers throughout the film. At BotCon 2025, director Josh Cooley confirmed that the Trackers are indeed meant to be "soulless" warriors, with Cooley emphasizing an intention to make them come across as robotic as possible. The Art of Transformers One artbook collectively refers to them as "security drones".
