This looks awesome! The vehicle mode is beautiful! Now I really hope we get a weaponized Roadbuster, even if it's just the Deluxe figure with the vehicle mode parts retooled, which would actually work pretty well. I hope we get Reprolabels for these too.

Ah man... I was bitching to Tekka about this.

AWESOME!

I just hope these aren't the final colors.

A green head? WTF?

Sorry, but this is overhyped. As much as the feeling of completing a trio should result in utter happiness, this mold just looks awful from these pictures. Vehicle mode looks grand, but that's to be expected, it's the movie verse and vehicle modes, especially ones based of real life vehicles should be spot on. But what is that robot mode? The Human Alliance is where it's at with these guys.

Sweet its about time!! The vehicle mode looks awesome! Too bad there isn't a deluxe roadbuster in brute mode like this one and topspin. Is there a release date for this guy?

Looks good to me. That Green face almost made me think that odd lookin smiley face piece of metal was his head o_O

I wish Roadbuster was a Deluxe brute. That's the first thing I noticed when I got Topspin. How they should've given Deluxe Roadbuster that treatment. Maybe they'll do that in a later production run.

What did you expect? It's a stock car. How does anyone make a stock car more attractive to non-Nascar fans?

No no, I like the alt. mode... Car with guns and lots of em, why not, hehe. Its the robot mode that I was commenting on.
Nascars are pretty boring, but its always nice to have a realistic alt. mode. They probably wanted to add all the guns on the alt. mode for the toy to get the attention of kids rather than with a normal looking nascar, which is cool.

Oh. Well then nevermind. I can see your point on the robot mode. It wasn't amazing or spectacular in the movie, but it is what it is and they can't make the robot mode of the figure more epic than it was in the movie. I'll likely display it in Stock car mode 99% of the time anyway because that's where all the guns are seen.

What would be cool is if there were four stock car wreckers that combined with a Monster truck to form a Giant Transformer of some type. What would it be called? "CRASH"? LOL!!!

From the looks of it, the missiles on his front end up on the inner thighs, folded back so they're out of the way. The rest of the guns are attached to the roof of the car mode and that appears to be folded up to form his back. So all the guns are hidden away, except for whatever his Mechtech weapon ends up being. But that suits me fine, he didn't really have lots of guns displayed in robot mode anyway.

I know i'm being really picky, but he should at least have a gun on his left arm and right shoulder, so here's to hoping they left them off in robot mode. Also, they really screwed up the hips/torso. i wish it was like on topspin, where you can move the left and right wheel wells/headlights around a little. In the pictures (of the toy) it looks like they are permanently attached to the hood of the car, plus the doors should be on his chest.

Vehicle mode isn't bad, but why is there a chunk of the car missing on the sides? And where's his number 42?
The robot mode isn't much to speak of, but it works.

KMarts seem to have the most HARBs, FWIW.

I'm getting 2 of Dlx Leadfoot on sight- one for alt mode, one for robot.

A few new images of the upcoming Target exclusive Transformers DOTM Deluxe Leadfoot have surfaced on eBay. Nothing new is revealed and unfortunately no robot mode, but these images do present the figure in more flattering conditions and the previous ones from ACToys. Images from the auction are mirrored below.

The alt mode looks reay nice. I'll be tempted to keep him that way.

News Credits: 668 · by **Autobot032** » Sat Jul 23, 2011 5:55 pm

He still looks fantastic to me. I love that they replicated his short, fat look.

I think the robot mode might be mistransformed, but he's still impressing me.

Loooove it.
