- Part of the second wave of Cyberverse Legion single-pack toys, Leadfoot is a Legends-scale figure that transforms into a NASCAR Sprint Cup Chevy Impala stock car, specifically Juan Pablo Montoya's Target-sponsored #42 car, albeit heavily modified with a ridiculous amount of exposed (non-firing) weaponry and all the various sponsor logos concealed by the modifications.
Notes
- Leadfoot is the odd man out amongst the NASCAR trio in that his real-world counterpart is owned by Earnhardt Ganassi Racing, while Roadbuster and Topspin are based on Hendrick Motorsports racers.
- It sure is convenient that Leadfoot's toy conspicuously covers up those giant Target logos, isn't it? Much easier to sell toys at Walmart that way.
- Leadfoot appears to have a "beard" and a "beer gut," making him appear much like a stereotypical NASCAR fan.
- As part of the promotions for Dark of the Moon, the film prop versions of Leadfoot, Roadbuster, and Topspin made appearances at the 2011 Daytona 500 at Daytona International Speedway on February 20th. They appeared both off the track as display cars, and on the track, participating in the ceremonial first lap.
- Contrary to the image above, the headlights on real-world NASCAR racers don't work. They're actually just decals.
