While we still patiently await the release of the Target exclusive Deluxe Leadfoot two-pack to round out the Hasbro Deluxe Wrecker trio, the sponsor free Takara version is already out in the wild. Site sponsor Kapow Toys has provided a very nice gallery of Takara's DA-34 Deluxe Leadfoot. Enjoy the images mirrored below.

i want this toy. i need him, soundwave and que. they need to hurry up and come out.

If only this version were cheaper, I'd want it instead of the upcoming Target one. Reprolabels will probably do what they did with their HA set and make extra stickers for the Japanese version, and I'd put Reprolabels on Leadfoot anyway, so I wouldn't mind spending a few extra dollars to get a set that would include the Target logo and others missing from this. The extra paint on this one just looks so much better, with the silver on lots of parts.

This one sucks, wheres the Target version ???

No emblems, no deal...

Does the Target exclusive one come with a new mechtech gun, or the repainted Ratchet one that comes with this one?

OK Internet, you've gone and pissed me off again.
Some people, like me, can't afford the japanese version, and have to wait. I Was told that he was coming out in October. It's 2 days till christmas, and I havn't seen him, Soundwave, OR Wheeljack ANYWERE. That's because their not coming until later next year huh? well, I just want to know what keeps delaying them, is that such a bad thing?
Well, congrats on getting him in some form I guess. I guess I'm just a little sore, Christmas isn't coming for me this year.

It's all up in the air, since apparently Leadfoot has no MechTech weapon unique to him like the other two Wreckers do. For all we know he'll get a different weapon altogether or none at all, rumor still has it that he'll come with Twin Twist, a repaint of Topspin.

Another rumor has it that the final DotM wave with Soundwave and Wheeljack has been pushed back.

You would think Hasbro would want to capitalize on the holidays by having this set released by now.

It's cooler then I expected.

Is it me or Leadfoot´s chest has a resemblance with the face of the twins?

Mistransformed. I can't help but think he put the wheels there, on purpose.

I'll have to take some pics, I guess.

I like the robot mode, The Vehicle mode is ehhh- Okay. I'm to big on the weaponized stock car (Do I have that Right?) but certainly not the worst when it come to it..... I'm looking at you Beast Wars the 2nd and Neo.

only way to describe this toy is fugly, even the alt mode is bad easy pass

He got robo-balls!
ROTF Devastator set a trend.. and a terrible one at that.

Nice place to put the wheels...

I hate the colour of his legs and hands but ill buy him and reprolabels will make me happy.

Ew balls.

Anyway, looks good and all but I'm waiting for the Hasbro version, if it ever comes out. I seriously wonder what is up with the DOTM line. Pretty fail.

I have him in person and I have to say I like him the most out of the 3 wreckers. His robot mode is way better than his HA by a lot.

I agree.

One of the first things I noticed about the figure when I transformed it for the first time, was how complex it seemed.

However, I've come to realize that while it's more complex than Roadbuster, it's not as difficult as Top Spin. Yet looks better and more unique than both of them.

He's your middle of the road Wrecker. Easy enough to master, complex enough to satisfy and looks really good along the way. Fantastic figure.

Like Topspin he's well armed enough without the stupid mechtech weapon.
