Drag Strip Has Six Wheels, People!!!
Come on, world. I know there have been more four-wheeled versions of the character than six-wheeled, but Drag Strip (the less we say about the whole “two word name vs one word name” the better) in his original form had six wheels . . . which means he needs six wheels! The newly-released Transformers: Combiner Wars pics (see tformers.com) shows that the upcoming toy only had four wheels and I’m sad. When I reviewed the Transformers Universe Drag Strip a few years ago (review here) I complained about the wheel situation; yeah, my record seems to be busted.
I understand that they used four wheels so they could repurpose this mold later — I fully expect to see a retail release of Mirage — but it would have been nice if some accessory or tweak had given Drag Strip six wheels.
Oh well, maybe we’ll get a third party kit to add that extra axle to the Combiner Wars Drag Strip toy. After all, if the unofficial Stunticons from FansProject can get a kit to add those missing two wheels then this retail release toy should get a kit.
