My sentiments exactly. The armored road buster looks fierce , like something out of Mad Max. This vehicle mode is all plain-Jane. If anything, it'll make for an easier repaint/custom into something else. I'm not into the human traits the Wreckers have but I'm hoping for some good personalities to help me get on the bandwagon.

Tell me this isn't a Stereo-Type of the South?

I think the dog is supposed to be a Bulldog of the squat, flat-faced, drooling variety, not a Pitbull of the man-eating variety (don't get sensitive, I'm just kidding ). And hell yes, all the wreckers are a stereotype.

<---Be nice and click the eBay link. Thanks!

dudeee.. Even though he may be chubby and etc.. He still looks like all kinda of hilarious awesome. Big belly, serious head sculpt, dog that turns into like 3 different types of weapons, the extreme detail, and the fact his transformation looks fun and not ridiculously overly complex .. yeah he's pretty much a buy on sight for me

I don't really mind him having a beer gut. I agree with what others have said. Since when did all Transformers have to be perfectly fit? There have been "fat" Transformers before, such as Animated Bulkhead. I won't be getting this, since I don't really collect HA, but I'm planning to get the Deluxe version.

Looks likes it's confirmed...that I wont be buying this dude >.>...The car looks too simple. IMO more simple than Mudflap/Skids HA's alt mode. The robot mode looks dissapointing...He doesnt look fat but his legs and arms look too "naked" IMO...And then not to mention the huge back-kibble...

Conclusion : Never will buy this guy and looks like my Wreckers will just be HA RB and hopefully HA Topspin.

I'm moist for this toy.

Ditto! I would have preferred unarmed versions with some pop-out gun for all the three of them.
However I like Leadfoot very very much it somehow reminds me of Don Hakka (Porkos in the English Dub) from the Starzinger anime (am I the only one)? In fact apart the not-matching colors (Don Hakka was the green one) these movieverse wreckers remind me of the anime's heroic trio...

this guy looks awesome! im totally getting all 3 of the HA wreckers!!!!

Allright, ya know what? STOP BITCHING!
He's totally epic!
Go to the old parts drawer, if you got one, and kitbash the hell outa this guy! Just drill and drummel a few holes and glue an assload of weaponry onto his chassis!
As for deluxe roadbuster, he can easely be given a stealth force weapon mode. pop the two chest peices of the in the hood under the hood, and fold tham inward, then rest the hood on top of it. take the saw and put it on the roof. pop the doors out and fold them at an outward skirt type angle. take two of topspin's guns, and put one on each door. pop the rockets out of the back and position them against the body at just the right angle, and your all done! try it! you might just be surprised!
I'll post a pic in the future some time...

im buyin him cuz i want the wreckers and the dotm deluxes are too small. i have limited space now so 1 big and cool guy is better than 3 chumps.i dont think i'm buyin any dotm deluxes unless wheel jack is only avail. in deluxe

I like his overall look, but I'm still hoping for a Deluxe...plus that Dog thing doesn't look movie-ish at all...

Stereotype aside, he's got a stocky mechanic look to him, which I like.

This. This, this. :'(
If what someone else said about thre being a target exclusive (with the logo) is true, I hope it's in stealth mode. *wishful thinking*

it's not as good as ha roadbuster. But i still like it.

I'm beginning to think his gut is hypnotic. The more you stare at it, the more you want him.

It's rather annoying that Hasbro is randomly choosing one Wrecker in each size class to be in standard mode:
Legion Topspin
Deluxe Roadbuster
Human Alliance Leadfoot
However, I really like Leadfoot. His alt-mode is very realistic (although it's the wrong type of NASCAR body for the car he represents), and his robot mode looks very detailed. I'm definitely buying both him and HA Roadbuster. Still hoping for an armed mode deluxe.

ok 2 things. the pic where the nascar driver is riding steeljaw. thats pretty funny. and the other pic where it looks like leadfoot is halfway transformed is just wierd looking. ok one more thing. i like his vehicle mode but not really his robot mode. i think i might have to pass on this guy. but im not sure since i do want the other nascar ones.

Wow.... was that necassary?

Okay first off...He's not "Epic". If he's so epic then can you explain the huge back-kibble and the simple looking alt mode?

Secondly...They are not whining. They are simply pointing out the cons of this guy in their own opinions.

Third...Not everyone have the ability to kitbash.So dont go around and say "Just kitbash the hell outa of this guy!" when you yourself know not many people have the talent to do that -.-....

Lastly..."Glue an assload of weaponry"!? WTF? You think many people just somehow have many mini plastic weapons already there? Seriously dude please be more logical...

There. Feel free to counter my comment. But dont expect me to reply or care.

Exactly! It looks more and more, especially after seeing HA Roadbuster and now this, that I will be sticking to the Deluxes for my Wreckers. Love the proportions, transformations, colours. I hope they do a Deluxe Leadfoot.

Ninja whinning!

Well Leadfoot looks better in these pics than before, but still unsure about him, i still feel he is mistransformed some how. HA Roadbuster is a sure win compared to Leadfoot, but we all know there's 3 movie Wreckers and we cant have any one of them going solo on the desk or sitting on the shelf with the rest of our collection. Now on to Steeljaw, i dont like the look of him, he should have been more fierce looking not cartoony if you will and is everyone forgetting that Steeljaw was a Lion not a bulldog from the Tom and Jerry cartoon show! I mean if the almighty Michael F'in Bay came come up with Ravage as as robotic Panther, im sure the same can be done with Steeljaw. Overall, HA Leadfoot looks ok and i cant stand the DOTM deluxes there smaller than their counterparts and not worth the money in my opinion, so this HA version will have to do, but still could change my mind about him.

HA Roadbuster = win

HA Leadfoot =

HA Topspin = ?

HA Soundwave = A MUST HAVE!!!

Then after HA Soundwave have HA Optimus with Peter Cullen alt mode and either Bay or Spielberg as the human in the set. And as a gimik Cullen's moustache can flip out when in robot mode. This would be way better than this POS Leadfoot...'nuff said!

I think if he was a stand alone figure i most certainly wouldn't be interested in him at all but with Steeljaw, that's another story.

I really like the pic of Leadfoot and Steeljaw standing beside him on the chain. The two figures together make the figure complete and very tempting to buy. If even just to get Steeljaw. SJ is the more appealing to me of the two.

Amazing that everyone is "shock & awe" by Steeljaw, when he is suppose to be a Lion, not a mutt. Bay killed it for poor Steeljaw and ruined everything about this character and what he represents.

So, not Target logo? Isn't that the reason he's red?
