• Known designers: Joe Kyde (deco artist)

Flatfoot is a redeco of Classics Strongarm, transforming into a police car based on a 2006 Dodge Charger (but with the proportions messed up).

He was only available as part of a Kmart exclusive Mini-Con 12-pack with Backstop, Blight, Brimstone, Bodyblock, Boltflash, Cloudraker, Heavytread, Knockdown, Makeshift, Skyhammer, and Suppressor.

This mold was also used to make Cybertron Strongarm, Detectas, Rad Rogue, Universe Overcharge, and Mighty Stra.

• Flatfoot (Mini-Con, 2010)

In the UK, all twelve Mini-Cons from the original "Mini-Con Class 12 Pack" set were released in individual blind-packed bags with "energon fizzy sweets" candies, distributed by The Little Factory Ltd. This version of Flatfoot is actually a new tooling with numerous tiny differences from the original (and generally less crisp molding), but is functionally the same toy.

Notes

• Flatfoot's mold is the only Mini-Con mold with Powerlinx sockets that are accessible only in robot mode by design: the sockets on the outside of his lower legs, which end up folded against his thighs inside his car mode. However, he still has other sockets that remain accessible in both modes.
• "Flatfoot" is an old slang term for a police officer.
