I can see why the toy engineers at Hasbro originally wanted SteelJaw to transform in to an engine. For one, it would've been cool to store SteelJaw in LeadFoot's engine bay in vehicle mode. And, it would have been a nice homage to the G1 PowerMasters toy line.
There is a certain way to raise up the arms so the wont e blocked by the doors of the car in robot mode. Once again, nice review. You pointed out a few things I missed when I transformerd him.
"Missing Target Logo" ?? "Who cares about toilet paper"? well I mean "Unless your pooping right now" "If you watching this on the toilet, I don't need to know but you probably do care about toilet paper and i acknowledge ur dilemma" What a best and funny intro!
@Sportimus the wreckers mainly build a ship 'to' fly 'to' the moon 'to' get the Ark 'to' get back 'to' cybertron 'to' reclaim it from the decepticons, other than that I'm not sure. They're making a HA topspin?
Confirming what Mrblackmaster15 said, he does show up briefly with the other 2 wreckers before the autobots are forced to leave Earth on Xanthium (their ship). Starscream attacks the Xanthium immediately after it launches, and apparently kills all the Autobots on board. (don't worry, they all come back and beat up the Decepticons at the end of the movie)
I just noticed that his robot mode is alot like Animated Earth mode Rachet. Aside from the gut, he also has the box shaped back pack and the over all feel along with the head. I mite be looking at it a little to much, but it seems that way to me.
This is only the Prototype. Hasbro will be released the battle armor version later on, probably, Because Roadbuster now has a battle armor version, so it'll probably be the same for this!
i was almost freaking out when u didnt transform his chest right... u need to flip down the impala tab and it flips down and the wheels flip out all the way around in the front so they are both where the impala tab used to be.
out of the wreckers, i have deluxe topspin and HA roadbuster and i'm gonna get deluxe leadfoot (yes, i know they are not in scale, but i want them all to be weaponized)
You said the missile goes even more into the driver area if you turn it around? I think maybe it is supposed to be cause that would make it look like the main support reinforcement for the cage of the Nascar Car. It usually comes down between the seats. So maybe the missile is supposed to represent that bar? It looked like it to me when I saw that part in the video. Just a thought.
LOL, your comment about watching the video on the toilet, brings me back to when bikertrash was transforming leaderprime on the toilet trying to figure him out.. LOL
and leadfoot,FYI, in the movie was kind of stubby short wreaker he was actually the shortest among the wreakers so thats kinda why hes shorter than roadbuster!
"But who cares about the toilet paper. Unless you're pooping right now. If you're watching this on the toilet, I don't need to know, but you probably do care about toilet paper, and I acknowledge you're dilemma"
I think I would have liked to see some way for the dog to interact with the human figure more, maybe given the dog a seat on it's back? I also with they had placed mech tech ports on the hood or roof, using the dog in vehicle form might have turned this from great, to genius. Shame about the engine block thing. Possibly one of the best (in terms of overall look) of the human alliance figures (IMO)
I just noticed something! when the wreckeres toys are weaponized as a deluxe they wont be weaponized in human alliance like HA roabuster is weaponized but his deluxe self isn't and leadfoot's deluxe is weaponized as his HA isn't so if they do a HA topspin it'll be a non wepaonzied mode
If u play cartown on Facebook it has this race car too!Its called 2011 #42 Juan Pablo Montoya Target.lol.Just thought of Leadfoot when i went on Cartown.fantastic vid too,Peaugh!
I really do wish they had made him weaponized to match Roadbuster. Some third-party guys need to make weapons for his robot mode. He's got a chaingun on his shoulder and some machine guns on his arms. That and his headlights should be down, wheels folded in and hood over that.
@Tonbot74 go to the transformers website and click the vector sigma which is characters. then find steeljaw in the list and click get more imation or something like that. it will come up with two buttons. one says ally and the other says enemy. if u click ally roadbuster will come up
@peaugh have you tried transforming steeljaw into gun mode and putting on the missile, then tabbing it in car mode? it kinda makes sense cause the space in the back might be enough for steeljaw ti fit in gun mode.
i saw human allience soundwave its assome laser beak comes with he looks accurate but thewings are sadly wed no carly but dylan comes with him i exspect carly to come with
in your leadfoot review at about 9 minutes and 5 sec you say the u shaped panel can be up to make him look flashy but can it bend all the way forward to fill in his upper torsoe cavity?
Good Review dude! This one isnt bad. I think i would buy roadbuster then this one second. I like both there robot modes and ult-modes too. All and all, great job with this one!
@redrickjoe6789 No, there's some Decepticons too. Icepick and Barricade are both in this line, and Soundwave has been confirmed to be one of the upcoming ones
he can actually chance into a mace. some guy made really cool poces with him, check this movie:Transformers DOTM HA Leadfoot gallery and 3 CGI Wreckers posters!!!
I'm pretty sure what you called his weapon mode is more or less the actual robot mode, all the pics we've seen of him officially and of his art have his wheels out in front of him like that forming his gut. Anyways, I own Roadbuster and Topspin as deluxes, I don't want the repaint of Topspin in the upcoming 2-pack for the deluxe Leadfoot. I work at Target, gonna get HA Leadfoot to round out my Wreckers for the film. I like him more than the other two anyways.
Great review m8, i kinda like the figure he may have some bulk but he looks quite good. Question, do you have any knowledge of a deluxe version coming out?
awesome review as always!.i think they should have kept ravage alive in ROTF,so him and steeljaw could be like arch enemies in the movie.thumbs up if you agree.i think that would be awesome.
i'm gettin him. i think he's supposed to look goofy he looks cool with roadbuster i think rb is annoying buy himself because he's got so many moving parts i can never get that pose i want but the two will be better in a team pose u know.hopefully topspin will be cool too
