Courtesy of Chinese toy forum 78dm.net, we get our first in hand look at the toy images of Human Alliance Leadfoot. Leadfoot comes with Steeljaw who transforms into Leadfoot's weapon. We first got word of this toy during Hasbro's website update. You can see them here, however the pictures have been mirrored below.

Awesome, do want! See folks, no Target logo. This is how they will sell this figure at all retailers.

Not too bad it looks like it is missing paintapps but otherwise its pretty decent!!

Just noticed the little chain in Steeljaw, nice!

Then how do they get around the driver having the logo on his chest? HA packages the drivers standing beside the cars, so everyone will still see the Target target.

Actually his human pal has one on his racing, jacket, thing.

That's clearly a bull's eye for Decepticons!

And my lack of my first cup of coffee.

What on earth have they done to Steeljaw (besides not paint him)? More to the point, why am I still surprised by these movie's total piss-takes of established characters?

Leadfoot doesnt look as near as good as RB! thats for sure and the front tires in the front resembles a beer-gut drinking NASCAR fan just kills the whole thing about this figure and not only that, Steeljaw looks horrible!! Steeljaw is a lean mean tracking machine, not some cartoony mech dog strap to a leash! Too me and thanks to Michael Bay, Leadfoot resembles white-trash Transformer! nuff said.

Whoa. That a big shock to me. I hoped Leadfoot would look badass type of toy. But this, Hardly there is any paint applied on this toy. It looks like there is no hybrid mode for this toy. And where does steeljaw go in alt mode? Can he sit inside Leadfoot when leadfoot is in car mode?
I might buy it only because i have to complete my Wreackers collection. Bad toy.

Nope, still waiting for the deluxe that better have some decent paint apps, hopefully it'll be a Target exclusive.

I was wondering how they would get around that, but it does prove my point from the earlier posts. Maybe we will see a deluxe now, assuming they add on to the ones already planned. If they do, I will buy one.

I kind of like this...

I seriously hope Steeljaw is in the movie, he's cute.

funny how steeljaw has a leash
what does he even turn in to?
Leadfoot gripes: no target, not much paint, NO WEAPONS
ill still get him though

hopefull my mind starts to like him more

Hah, robot pooch!

is there going to be a deluxe version?

no weapon dissapointment whats going with nascar trio nascar legends have weapon but roadbuster in deluxe is plain cant get used to nerw keyboard on new laptop, feel we got ripped off no logo on hood, & weapon mode is this offocial release or preprduction version?

still buy for me

Is that who that is supposed to be. That is ridicious. That was the only lame part about the figure....a mechanical bulldog. That defiantely had to be Michael Bay's idea.

MUST HAVE NAO!!! He's my favorite driver. I'm getting two, maybe 3 so I can get one signed MISB, now bring 'em on!

I wonder if Reprolabels could Repro-duce (see what I did there?) the Target logo for the hood? I'd really like to see them make a Wreckers set for the Deluxe and HA versions, with more NASCAR-style logos. I imagine they'd have to be fake sponsors, to avoid licensing issues.

Of course, a similar-scale model kit's decals would work better, I suppose, but I don't think they make a #42.

WHY DOES HE HAVE ROADBUSTER'S VEHICLE MODE?!
They've done the same thing as they did with the Arcee triplets. They messed up the vehicle modes. Seriously, is it that hard to get the correct vehicle mode for the correct character?

And a robot tongue hanging out. Nothing says we're-makin'-a-kids-movie than robots with their tongues hangin' out.

I always liked the 'stereotype' designs, like samurai Bludgeon and vampire Mindwipe from the NEST line and Animated's Constructicons, and redneck Leadfoot and his hound Steeljaw here are no exception. The designs add so much personality.

Gundam, this is one of the crappiest things since crap came to crapville. Well it was a home run with Roadbuster and it's a strike with Leadfoot. So its 50/50 that Topspin will be yet another POS so the odds are not bad...'nuff said!
