Transformers in 3-D

Toys
The Transformers
- Scorponok (Headmaster, 1987)
- Takara ID number: D-93
- Accessories: 2 guns
- Available only with the large Headmaster Decepticon Scorponok, Fasttrack transforms into a six-wheeled assault buggy. His axles were designed for quick rolling down the main ramp of Scorponok's city mode.
- Like his animation model below, his two guns can be either hand-held or shoulder mounted.
- This mold was redecoed into Black Roritchi.
Generations
- Decepticon Fasttrack (Deluxe, 2020)
- ID number: WFC-E35
- Takara ID number: ER-12
- Takara release date: January 30, 2021
- Accessories: 2 blasters, dagger/spear-tip
- Part of the third wave of Earthrise Deluxes, Decepticon Fasttrack is a Weaponizer-styled figure, transforming via part-forming into a six-wheeled Cybertronian buggy-tank with twin blasters. The dagger accessory can be attached to the back of their head in vehicle mode to form a "seat" that can accommodate either a Titan Master or a Prime Master; thematically it's meant to seat the "Lord Zarak" figure from Earthrise Scorponok. Concealed within his chest is an A.I.R. Lock System connection point, which allows him to link up with other toys in the line to form larger fortifications. As on the original toy, his blasters can also peg onto his robot-mode shoulders.
- Being a Weaponizer, Fasttrack can become armaments for other figures. The instructions include two official configurations: the first is a massive spear meant to be held by the larger Scorponok, inspired by (though not visually based on) Black Zarak's "Tyrant Spear." This mode doesn't incorporate Fasttrack's upper torso piece. The second option configures Fasttrack into a set of massive over-shoulder cannons meant to attach to smaller figures, with his vehicle cockpit and dagger also combining to form a bladed shield.
- His inner packaging includes a piece of the line's galactic map revealing Botropolis.
- This mold was also used to make Black Roritchi.
Notes
- Fasttrack had a character model prepared for "The Rebirth", the mini-series which ended the US Generation 1 cartoon, but never actually appeared. He may have been slated to appear before "Rebirth" was cut from five episodes to three.
- The mistake-riddled coloring of the Headmasters comic seems to indicate Fasttrack was the fleeing Decepticon Scorponok called a coward after pointing out they were badly outgunned in issue #1. The robot mode shown was Blot's, however—a a type of mistake also not uncommon in the miniseries.
- Fasttrack's design was re-used in Super-God Masterforce for the mass-produced drone Transformers, the Guardminders. Fasttrack's coloration is used for the grunts, while the leader is either Black Roritchi or a use of his colors.
- The 1987 toy catalog displayed a green Fasttrack with Scorponok.
Foreign names
- Japanese: Fasttrack (ファストトラック Fasutotorakku)
