As revealed by our friends at the Japanese TF Image Board, the blue version of Takara's Binaltech Tracks (still BT-06) is going to come with a flaming hood deco sticker.

And no springloaded wrist-guns, it would seem...

The yellow Taraka one doesn't have springloaded wrist-guns either.

I'm upset that I bought the yellow one 2 days before I found out they were going to do a blue one. I wasn't sure if I would get the blue one or not...but after seeing this with flame/Autobot sticker...there's no way I can't get it!

Christ, if Hasbro did that, we'd be talking, what? Fatwah?

Nope, "trying to milk the fans' wallets".

The spring-loaded wrist guns appear to be limited to an early test shot thingie that was used for the first Takara promo pics which were later used for the Japanese booklet.
The Japanese instruction depict the standard slide-pins. The Hasbro instructions, oddly enough, depict the spring-loaded mechanism.

I knew that. I was just being ironic and stuff by tying into your topic over in Toys in mentioning that the promo shots for this release have the slidey mechanism.

Hi all, this really isn't relevant to the "flaming" tracks, but walmart.com has tracks and miester in stock right now for 19.76. I just ordered them and they should arrive between 10/27 and 11/03. so unless you have some deep seeded urge to put up with poor distribution I recommend snagging them before they are gone!

And that would have to do what exactly with anything else said in this thread...?

Apparently nothing. It reminds me of one of those 'Russian wife-by-mail' things that pop up on occasion.

I mean that in a cold-blooded, observational-type way.

On-topic ~
I wonder how close Reprolabels' version is to Takara's version.

THAT is sweet! I'm sure that Reprolabels will have something similar soon for our Alternator Tracks.

THANK YOU!
I just ordered my Alt Hound, Tracks and Meister!

You're right. My comment was mean and uncalled for. I apologize.
