The lack of sponsors on TakaraTomy Leadfoot isn't that surprising to be honest, thankfully I'm not interesting in him 
And before anyone asks about the release of Deluxe Leadfoot in Japan: November. And it looks like our Air Raid has been renamed in Japan, to Seeker Air Raid

There must be some mistake. Usually, Takara gets the one with the better paint scheme and Hasbro gets the shitty one. They must have gotten their shipping mixed up.
MAN! Those pics of the official bot mode are horrible. It's a good thing you can actually pose the kibble anyway you want to make it better.

The completist in me wants to get both. The realist in me says I've already got the best one of these releases. Contemplating ...
On second thought -- definitely not feeling an $80 price tag for him either.

I'll admit the robot mode looks like crap, but there was an alternate transform I saw that actually looked pretty good. It was in a comparison shot in the video review for Deluxe Leadfoot, I'll have to take another look...

Several things:
First of all, for those who says it's better to have the logos - you're telling me that Leadfoot actually looks BETTER with a bullseye painted on his chest? Yeah...
Second, "42" has a very negative superstitious connotation in Japan, just as "13" has a negative superstitious connotation in European and European based cultures.
Finally, is this about the figure not having any logo, or just the fact that all the American corporate logos (including the Impala logo for the car itself, strangely) are removed? I'm thinking it may be former because it is SUPPOSE to be a stock car and they normally have corporate logos brandished all over the car. If it's the latter, well, yeah...oookkaay...

I doubt Reprolabels can fix that ugly-ass robot mode. I'll wait to see what the deluxe looks like.

God that thing looks horrible.
Please bring back some form of Classics next year. Not just 3rd string repaints either. I'm Mean worthy Characters that G1 fans have been asking for for years now.

Would you have paid the $60+ it would have taken to import the Japanese version?
No, no you wouldn't have.

I just want to say I own the Target exlusive version of this fig and feel its amazing!! You really need to play around with it to get the Transformation right, but trust me that with enough work you can get him looking really good. Watch Peaugh's review all the way through to the end and you will see so for yourself. The HA alliance line (excluding the basics line which is trash) is the best line so far! Every figure has been awesome (with the exception of Sideswipe, which fortunately there is very simple mod you can do to fix the back kibble).
Final thought is this: please dont judge this transformer by the pics you see represented in this thread. doing so would be a huge disservice to Leadfoot. This HA toy truly is impressive. wether or not these pics show him in his "official" bot mode or not is moot. he can and does look so much better in hand and with a little ad libbing transformation.
