[[|right|thumb|300px|]]
Leadfoot is one of the Autobots' premier infiltrators. With his incredible speed, he'll be gone before the Decepticons even know he was there - and when he combines with his Mini-Con partner Pinpoint, they can't even see him.
Need an example of how stealthy Leadfoot is? His "disguises" can only be found on certain Earth race tracks, and they still doesn't raise any suspicion.
Toys
Power Core Combiners
- Leadfoot with Pinpoint (Commander Class, 2010)
- Part of the second wave of Power Core Combiners Commander Class figures, Leadfoot transforms into a kinda-sorta-F1-ish race car. His front end features a flip-up Mini-Con Powerlinx plug. In robot mode, his chest-canopy has a flip-down panel that reveals another flip-up Powerlinx plug so he can use a Mini-Con in armor mode. He can also transform into a "power up" mode; a super-robot torso that uses the drone-units from the Power Core Combiners 5-packs as limbs. He came packaged with his Mini-Con partner Pinpoint.
- This mold was also used to make Power Core Combiners Over-Run.
- During the period between December 26 2010 and January 31 2011, Hasbro ran their "Supercharge Your Holidays" promotion: for every $20 spent on Hasbro-branded product, customers could receive a free, random product from a list provided by Hasbro. Among the items on the list was "Transformers Combiners & Speed Stars Mini Vehicle". According to this discussion thread on Allspark.com, Leadfoot with Pinpoint was one of the figures distributed.
Speed Stars
- Leadfoot (Stealth Force Basic, 2011)
- Leadfoot is a closed-canopy Formula racing car similar to the Classics Mirage toy's vehicle mode, with a deco curiously similar to Fracture's. As part of the "Stealth Force" subline, he lacks a robot mode, but pulling or pushing on his spoiler reveals a number of flip-out non-firing weapons. He is also part of the "Reveal the Shield" promotion, which means he has a rubsign. Like his Power Core Combiners version, Leadfoot is adorned with "Blackrock Racing" sponsor decals, a reference to Marvel Comics millionaire G.B. Blackrock.
- Classic Leadfoot (Stealth Force Basic, 2011)
- Leadfoot was repackaged for the Dark of the Moon toyline, with the only significant change being the addition of the Classic prefix to his name, presumably to distinguish him from the Wrecker of the same name.
Notes
- Leadfoot has a sponsor named "Blackrock", presumably a reference to Blackrock Industries and their founder G.B. Blackrock.
- Leadfoot's Speed Stars robot-mode art is a recolor of a Mirage concept-style art piece from the Hasbro gigantic "bible", as revealed at the Botcon 2011 "IP" panel with Rik Alvarez and Aaron Archer.
- Due to the vague continuity of the Power Core Combiners line, it's possible that he is the same character as either Generation 2 Leadfoot. Or he could just be another guy who's kind of like them. It happens.
