The Energon Pub

The Transformers Dark of the Moon toy galleries keep rolling! This round of gallery entries features three Deluxe Wreckers: Armor Topspin, Wal-Mart Exclusive Track Battle Roadbuster, and the ever elusive logo free Takara Leadfoot. Will Hasbro's Target exclusive two-pack with Leadfoot and Twintwist ever see the light of day at retail, or will this Takara version be our only chance to complete the Wrecker trio in Deluxe class? As always full galleries of each figure can be found by following the links and images below. Enjoy!

Better not be. No way I'm shelling out hundreds of dollars to get him.

BBTS has him on pre-order for 37.99

More than you would pay at domestic retail, but at least you will know your getting him.

I don't feel comfortable doing online shopping. There's this one store in a local mall that does get Japanese TF's, so maybe I can pick him up there. Hell, for all I know, he's probably already got both Leadfoot and Wheeljack. Will have to check this weekend.

That's a shame. It's probably safer than buying things in person with a credit card. Hopefully you can start giving it a whirl with reputable retailers like BBTS. You're missing out if you're not buying things online.

World ends in just 11 short months, go hog wild!

I like online shopping just not from BBTS where the prices are jacked up extremely high and unecessarily.

Can you show me where you can find DA-34 Leadfoot for less?

I don't do that, either. I only pay in cold hard cash.

I know that, but the thing with me and money is that I tend to spend beyond my means sometimes, and I wouldn't trust myself with a credit card if I knew I had to spend within a limit. As I said, I know a store near where I live that sells Takara TF's, so all I have to do is hope they show up there.

SCREAMING ORANGE Roadbuster has been pegwarming at the local Wal-Mart, haven't seen Armor Topspin anywhere, and beginning to doubt Target will release Deluxe Leadfoot.

I really don't want to import just to complete the Wreckers.

Oh man, we better get Hasbro Leadfoot here in the US, or so help me I will cry like a baby.

Money's tighter than usual lately for me, can't afford to pay more than twice the usual price for a Deluxe. And we really should get a repaint as well, since the other two Wreckers have a repaint, I want another LF to pair with those guys.

Naoplzkthx.

EDIT- Leadfoot looks fantastic in these pics, tho, thx Ryan.

Naming the Topspin repaint "Armor Topspin" is kinda an oxy-moron since the main characteristic of the Wreckers is that they're always heavily armored. Must've been a slow-idea day in the Hasbro marketing dept.

We may have to prepare to cry and pay big bucks, if the slides at BotCon 2011 were accurate, showing a regular Topspin and a Human Alliance Leadfoot...

AmiAmi's probably got the best price for him, at least before shipping.

Armour Topspin is the first proper Movie toy I've been interested in in ages...since the first film, really. I'm not keen on the head, but the rest is great. That orange Roadbuster isn't bad either.

Are these guys having their heads on ball-joints that'd be easy to remove? I'm not sure I have anything else that'd fit, or work any better anyway, but if I know I can at least consider...
