Don't know if this had already been discussed, but did Hasbro ever give a reason why the DOTM Deluxe Roadbuster and the Human Alliance Leadfoot aren't souped-up like they were in the movie?

It's likely part of their deal with Nascar to have at least one version of each that is clean.

It would've made more sense to have the HA versions be all clean, and the Deluxe and Cyberverse versions be all weaponized. Hopefully they'll release a weaponized Deluxe Roadbuster sometime.

I'm assuming it's all part of a grand plan to get our cash. I'm sure / crossing fingers that another version of each will come out later. Or at least a deluxe that has pop out weapons.

More versions seem unlikely after none of them were announced at SDCC. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe DOTM will evolve into another line like ROTF did.

It probably will. We didn't hear anything about Mirage, either, but we're practically guaranteed to get a figure of him, and I think we've found listings for him in computers for Wal-Mart, or some other store.
