\"\"Whether you were introduced to her in game or through the wildly successful animated shorts prior to the release of Overwatch<\/em>, it\u2019s hard to not to fall in love with the playful character Tracer<\/a>. Her quick wit has made her a fan favorite while her time traveling abilities have made her playability in game incredibly versatile for players of any skill level. It\u2019s no wonder she is the first Figma action figure from Overwatch<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Like so many, I was a fan of Overwatch<\/em> well before playing the game. I remember her story with Widowmaker in the second animated short \u201cAlive.\u201d Not only were you given a clear sense of her purely good nature but all of her fighting abilities were gracefully showcased. According to her backstory, her fearless nature caused her to be handpicked to test a teleporting fighter jet called Slipstream. When things malfunctioned her molecular structure changed making it impossible for her to stay in any one place for too long. Eventually, she was fitted with a chronal accelerator, which is the white piece of hardware she is buckled into. This helps her stay anchored to her present physical place in time as well as give her the ability to time travel.<\/p>\n
