Courtesy of the Chinese toy forum ACToys we have some brand new images of Deluxe Leadfoot from the upcoming Target Exclusive two-pack, which is rumored to also contain a Twin Twist repaint of Deluxe Topspin. These images offer us our best looks to date at the highly anticipated figure, and we get a nice size comparison with his fellow Wrecker Deluxe Topspin. Check out the new images mirrored below.

whew! I'm glad he doesn't have green head.Good job hasbro,you finally did something right!

by **Rated X** » Mon Sep 05, 2011 8:52 am

Yeah !!! Thats the one I wanted. Cant wait to add this robot version of Rick Ross to my collection !!!

by **prowl123** » Mon Sep 05, 2011 9:00 am

Yes!

Now all we need is an armored Roadbuster.

Any word on wether or not one of those will come out?

Lol when I see the two wrecker side by side, one thought come to mind :-

Before : Topspin - after eating alot of fatty energons After : Leadfoot

But definitely getting him to complete my deluxe wreckers. Though I'll probably wait for the single-pack release since I already have Topspin.

This guy looks awesome. I'm glad they gave him the doors on his chest in robot mode, even if they're fake. I think when we saw the first pictures of this guy, he didn't have them. I just hope we get a weaponized Roadbuster so we can really complete the trio of Deluxe Wreckers. The current one just won't look right. All they'd have to do would be remold the current one, if they didn't want to make a completely new mold.

Hope the Twin Twist materialises as well, would be sweet as I had both back in G1, lost them, and recently reaquired them when the prices were right.

Gonna haveta brave the online scalpers again as there ain't any Targets in Ireland <sigh> - but I have seen the DOTM Target exclusives at Tesco, Target stickers and all - but don't want to risk missing out on this baby!

Isn't the box set due to have a retool of Topspin's G1 'twin' Twin Twist with it as well? Or am I going mad and/or missed out on news lately on this?

Repaint, just repaint. Don't count on retools on any of the Wreckers, armored or not.

You know, I'm starting to doubt whether Leadfoot will actually come with Twin Twist, or just a regular Topspin...

If it comes to that (no retooling) , they'll probably bundle it with the grey Topspin repaint that is surfacing at the moment - I could live with that as Twin Twist, but would prefer a new head and weapons - something drill-like to represent the G1 character... here's hoping...

probably end up grabbing this instead of the HA version
cant wait to see it in stores

The grey Topspin is a separate standalone release, called "Autobot Armor Topspin". Not an exclusive at all.

Awesome!
so does he not have a mechtech as such, just lots of smaller guns?

by **alternator77** » Mon Sep 05, 2011 9:46 am

so hes scout sized wow :roll:

anyway at least people can stop all the "i want all 3 in one size class" whining.

I mean using Autobot Armor Topspin as a base - if Topspin is traditionally predominantly blue, then the predominantly grey AATopspin, with drill bits instead of extra cannons, could be a quick fix (if Twin Twist doesn't materialise, I might just kitbash it myself)

Vanilla Topspin is beginning to clog up the shelves, it would be a no-brainer to bundle it with a slightly different variant... but I do agree with you, a regular Topspin wouldn't surpise me...

First off glad to see Unicron of the top spot.

Second to be honest it looks better than the HA version which is a good thing as i have bought no HA wreckers but i have bought the deluxe and cant wait to get him.

Third where is his mechtech?

News Credits: 8 · by **Megatron Wolf** » Mon Sep 05, 2011 10:57 am

alt mode is cool robot mode sucks, coloring is horrible & hes way to short easy pass.

by **Duskfall** » Mon Sep 05, 2011 11:20 am

ooh, i like what i see. this is nice. kinda wish the human alliance figure was like this though.
and seriously, why can't they just release them all in weaponized form? they weren't even in like their nascar forms in the movie.

actually the doors on his chest aren't fake.

if you look at the car that was in the movie.. the doors come out, and were moved forward. if you look at the figure, the same thing is happening. and in robot mode those are the doors that are on his chest.. so you see, they're not fake. they're accurate to the movie.

anyways.. does anyone else thing it would've been an ABSOLUTE GENIUS move if this leadfoot were in a two pack with a weaponized roadbuster?? that way "armor roadbuster" would've made better sense than "armor topspin".. since topspin is already armored..

All Hail Volstagg, the deluxe-sized Wrecker!

I'll be glad to get this guy, and curious as to his MechTech weapon.

I'm pretty sure he has one but they might either be working on it or they are just gonna suprise us... I don't no why they would do that to us but I'm very sure that he has one..

by **Dean ML** » Mon Sep 05, 2011 12:41 pm

Can't wait! I never buy repaints, and as much as Twintwist will be worthless to me, I have to have this Leadfoot. Any word on when he'll be available?

He's smaller in height only. Same mass as deluxe. I believe his relative height to Topspin and Roadbuster is movie accurate, too. He was short and fat. And, yes, I can finally stop my "whining."
