It had always been Leftfoot's dream to design and build cars of his own, even when he was working in a run-down repair shop in England. In pursuit of his dream, he moved his family to Canada, where they lived a simple life in a log cabin while Leftfoot toiled to create his perfect dream car, even mining his own ore from a strange black rock he found in the Rocky Mountains. He finally completed the car on the night of his son's second birthday, and it proved to be a monumental success, putting Leftfoot on the map and eventually leading to the formation of his own automotive company, British Motors, which quickly grew in fame. Fifteen years later, when Leftfoot gifted his original prototype car to his son on his seventeenth birthday, neither father nor son could have predicted that Lightfoot would turn out to be an Autobot Godmaster, and that the car would be his Transtector.

Don't move or the glasses get it!

When Lightfoot arranged for his fellow Autobot Godmaster, the world-famous F1 racing champion Road King, to star in a commercial for British Motors, Leftfoot wrote the script for the ad, but was late to the recording session when a pair of reporters arrived at his office to interview him. The "reporters", however, were soon proven to be anything but when one of them snapped a few photos of Leftfoot, and the CEO suddenly collapsed, unconscious. The pair were, in fact, the Decepticon Godmasters Hydra and Buster in disguise, and the camera was actually a hypnosis ray that had knocked Leftfoot out. The unconscious Leftfoot was quickly tied up and taken to a nearby British Motors factory, while Hydra and Buster dispatched Leftfoot's panicked secretary with a note for Lightfoot, demanding he come alone or his father would perish. While Lightfoot was determined to do exactly what they said in order to save his father, the other Autobot Godmasters proved more daring, and snuck onto the scene, rescuing Leftfoot and freeing Lightfoot to take down the two Decepticon villains. The grateful Leftfoot donated one of British Motors' factories and an army of staff to the Autobots to aid them in the construction of their "Bomber Project", and in gratitude for his kindness, all the Autobot Godmasters starred in the British Motors commercial.

Notes

• Leftfoot's name is a pun based around the fact that in Japanese, there is no distinction between the "L" sound and the "R" sound. Thus, it is possible to read his son's name as "Rightfoot". And he's Leftfoot. Ho ho ho.
• According to the letter sent by Lightfoot to Ginrai in "Lightfoot: A Dramatic Encounter", the character's name is spelled "Light Foot". With his father's name being "Leftfoot" (or possibly "Left Foot"), it would seem to imply that their family name is actually... "Foot".
