Leadfoot (DOTM)

The name or term "Leadfoot" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Leadfoot (disambiguation).

Leadfoot is an Autobot from the Dark of the Moon portion of the live-action film series continuity family.

They had to appeal to middle-aged men.

Leadfoot is one of the Wreckers, a group of former engineers turned fighters who have turned their talents to kicking Decepticon tail across the galaxy. His specialty is building bigger and better weapons, WITH SCIENCE! Not terribly surprisingly this vocation has led him to strike up a friendship with the Autobots resident weapons-hound Ironhide. The way the two egg each other on towards bigger and better "boom-sticks" the other Autobots fear one day waking up to find a smoking crater where their workshop once stood.

Toys

Dark of the Moon

Cyberverse

I'm tubby and short and stubby!

• Leadfoot (Cyberverse Legion, 2011)
  • Series: 1
  • Number: 007
  • Japanese ID number:

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.

Human Alliance

Proooooobably a Target exclusive.

• Leadfoot / Sergeant Detour & Steeljaw (Human Alliance, 2011)
  • Japanese ID Number:
  • Accessories:

Human Alliance Leadfoot transforms into the same NASCAR Chevy Impala as the Cyberverse toy, altough this one does not have any robotic bits showing in car mode, and the Target logos are perfectly visible, especially the one on his gut (see picture to the right). He comes with Sergeant Detour and Steeljaw, who turns into his arm cannon. Yes, he will be a Target exclusive.

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 Cyberverse 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.
