Sir, congratulations. You've just hit on one of my favorite gripes on the entire forum. I've literally written pages on this very subject: Characters with awesome qualifications whose costumes really sucked. Tracker's costume forced me to take matters into my own hands. I found a Midnight run edition of Night Force Tracker on ebay and I won it. He's the pride of my collection.
Also, I use a Street Fighter Movie figure (Navy SEAL Guile - Variant edition) and swapped the heads with a Tracker head to give him a dive suit. I used that suit specifically because it's the same mold as v2 Wet-Suit, but it's painted completely differently, and I wanted some degree of difference.
This same problem with awesome characters having lousy costumes (and I say "costumes" as opposed to "uniforms") is what prompted me to create my custom versions of Claymore, Super Trooper, Rapid Fire, and Grid-Iron. They are all great characters, but their "costumes" were jokes. I'm currently working on a customized/militarized Joe Colton... I think it's going to turn out well.
The TRU Yellow Torpedo is a really cool figure. I'll probably use him as the unproduced Tiger Force Torpedo since I already have a custom Tracker.
What's this I hear about a Night Force Tracker? I checked on yojoe.com but didn't see any other versions. Do you have any photos? This would be a way cooler figure in black.
