Hasbro has confirmed a Human Alliance figure with Steeljaw.--Primo 18:53, 3 May 2011 (EDT)

Link? -- Semysane 22:14, 3 May 2011 (EDT)
It's on Transformers.com. Steeljaw is HA Leadfoot's weapon, IIRC. --ItsWalky 22:16, 3 May 2011 (EDT)
They took down the pics pretty quickly, as they did with a bunch of other pics and info. --FFN 22:23, 3 May 2011 (EDT)
TFW still has the Leadfoot robot pic: [1] --ItsWalky 22:43, 3 May 2011 (EDT)

Twin Twist?

[edit]

The DOTM toyline page has a sourced (well, relatively) claim that the two-pack is "Topspin + Leadfoot", but this page says "Twin Twist + Leadfoot". Which is correct?24.13.125.86 19:48, 22 June 2011 (EDT)

Preliminary names

[edit]

I removed the following note, as it was ungrammatical and I wasn't sure if it was true: "Early working name for him was intended to be Flash.". If this is true, feel free to re-add it after correcting the grammar. --Khajidha 19:34, 3 July 2011 (EDT)

Page Quote

[edit]

Forgive me if I'm wrong but i'm pretty sure Roadbuster was the one who said that what'd be better is "Wreckers, kill it." becuase that is definetly Leadfoot. You can tell due to the differences in accents. Flydie 17:21, 13 December 2011 (EST)

I'm rewatching the scene now. Roadbuster has more of a Scottish accent, while Leadfoot has a very deep, gravelly Cockney (or some similar British) accent. I'm quite certain that it was Leadfoot who said the page quote. Tom Servo the Great 17:59, 13 December 2011 (EST)
Sorry, Tom, but Roadbuster is definitely the speaker of that line. "This is going to herrt - a loooat!" It doesn't actually sound an awful lot like much of Roadbuster's other lines, but it's certainly Scottish and not Leadfoot's Cockney. - Chris McFeely 18:30, 13 December 2011 (EST)
That said, I'm wondering what is the purpose of the quote in the Fiction section. It feels like a quote just to have a quote. --ItsWalky 18:43, 13 December 2011 (EST)
I concur with Walky's point. As someone who is not especially versed in the subtleties of European accents (cause I'm Canadian, eh?), I yield to Chris.

Leadfoot and Twin Twist pic

[edit]

I assume this is actually from SDCC or something, but I'm certain it's what was also shown at BotCon. --Monzo 07:26, 26 December 2011 (EST)

THE FIRST PHOTO

[edit]

could i change the first leadfoot's photo with this photo?user:Shockwave1704

I'm going to say probably not. Now, if you'd followed the proper guidelines when uploading the image (good filename, proper description with appropriate templates), then I'd tell you it would probably be a good fit for the Notes section at the bottom. --Andrusi 12:19, 13 March 2012 (EDT)
Why the Notes section? On account of the "Flash" name? I'd strongly disagree on that given there's already a link back to Nizzi's concept art in the references for that note. --Detour 12:37, 13 March 2012 (EDT)
Because I misremembered and thought we had similar pictures at the bottom of Roadbuster and Topspin's pages. --Andrusi 12:39, 13 March 2012 (EDT)

topspin has a similar image to this photo like the first photo user:Shockwave1704

The Topspin image is a cool picture that's nice and dynamic and shows what he's like, making it a great mainpic. Leadfoot's image, in contrast, has him just standing there. --Andrusi 13:54, 13 March 2012 (EDT)

John Nizzi's the same designer and in this picture leadfoot is represented completely, from his head to his feet. in the other picture not user:Shockwave1704
