Jeeper Creepers, where'd you get those peepers?

Landmine was brought to life by the All Spark during the Autobots' final battle with Megatron in Mission City. Though Landmine finds time to log in training sessions with his mentor, Ironhide, he prefers to act as an undercover agent with the humans of Sector Seven.

As part of the "AllSpark Power" portion of the movie line, Landmine transforms into a Sector Seven assault buggy of the type seen in the movie. As Landmine's fiction places him as a hidden agent within Sector 7's motor pool, he has several S7 and Area 52 markings over his chassis. The rear of the vehicle sports an identification number of G2G-534. He features spring-loaded shock absorbers on all of his vehicle-mode wheels, plus a roof-mounted cannon on an articulated arm.

He likes to hunt himself down and freeze himself.

Landmine features two Automorph gimmicks. The first is a spring-loaded front end, retracting his front wheels into his chest during transformation. The second is a sliding panel on each of his shins that retracts when the tail light/knee caps are moved into place.

In robot mode, his grenade launcher can be back-mounted to make an over-shoulder cannon, or held in his hand. He also has wheels on the soles of his feet, which let him roll in robot mode... in theory, at least, since his heel-wheels rub against his legs, keeping them from spinning freely.

Like all Japanese "AllSpark Power" toys, the Takara version of Landmine comes with a small Allspark cube accessory that's not included with the Hasbro version. Landmine himself has a slightly different base plastic color and rubber tires.

Trivia

I was in the movie! Sorta.

*Landmine's vehicle form is directly based on the Sector Seven assault buggies seen in the movie. This makes him the only newly created mold from the movie toyline for a character who's not part of the movie cast that's a faithful recreation of the vehicle the toy is based on, without any major artistic liberties taken to circumvene licensing fees, such as Longarm, Arcee, Incinerator or Stockade.
