Does anyone know what "The Transformers Turbo Speed Buildable Track Set"
is exactly?

https://www.amazon.com/Transformers-Race-Track-Toy-Set/dp/B0DL1HG8Y1

I'm not finding much online. YouTube gives me no reviews.

Who actually makes it? Is it compatible with Hot Wheels? Is it
compatible with Spychangers?

All I can add is that I saw these at ROSS last year and they looked
super cheap.

I've never heard of it or seen it before, but it looks like some random manufacturer asked Hasbro if they could slap some Transformers branding
on the box and Hasbro was like, "yeah, sure, pay the fee."

It's your job to buy one now so you can tell us about it!

I'm putting it in that "if I see it in-store with a reasonable price" category.

It seems like the company just copied some older Hot Wheels tracks and
slapped other IPs on it, I found a Sonic the Hedgehog themed set that is
a recolor of the Transformers set.

the "full item details" is just the brand name, and the only review is a
1 star review saying the track was missing pieces and unusable.

It comes with a small blue car, I guess sort of Sonic themed but I can't
really tell from the horrible pictures.

I used to have some version of this track back in the 80s, I don't know
if it was Hot Wheels, Matchbox, or some generic at the time my grandma
bought me, but it had the same track mounts and piece, but it looks like
they omitted the rubber band powered launcher I had as a kid.

Is this all relying on the force of a kid's arm to launch the car?
