If they gave him a bulkier chest I think he’d be really good. His alt mode is so cool and Leadfoot has a fun design in robot mode, the chest just kills it for me.
Fun fact: despite being branded as a Nascar Sprint Cup Series race car, this actually uses the Nationwide/Xfinity series body style as the front end has a larger grill and Impala decal.
Ironically I feel like this would have worked better had they kept his alt mode weaponized. Would have added more bulk to it that could have cleaned up the bot mode better.
Glad to see another Human Alliance fan. I understand it's not too everyone's taste but I love the line so much it lead me to the Alternators line which is the same scale. It's also why I am on the constant look out for 1/24th scale human figures and 3rd party oversized transformers at that scale.
Yeah, rather than sticking straight out to the sides, they can be angled up to sort of fill in the gap of his chest a bit and cover his shoulders a little. Still looks like warm cack.
i think he is the reason why human alliance was canned bad selling horrible appeal from few managers declaring it a perfect idea also a tried representation concept art
@ 5:47, we found a way to drop the net sections on the doors, and swivel them up, They end up between the gut and the bot frame, and kinda form a "V" when looked at from the front. You should try it, it looks WAY better. Also, the "PeePee" Part, We found that it tabbed in a different way too. It seems there was way more engineering put into this guy, and the directions did it all wrong. I really like this guy after the doors get in the right spot. Get him to look like you got him at 5:47. them try to get the doors up. It hinders front arm articulation, but looks WAY better and he still has his elbow.
Just watching this review, I remember why I don’t collect movie figures. The transformations are just so unpleasant. You untab all these little panels, and origami everything together until it vaguely looks like a robot. I always feel like I’m gonna break them when I transform them. They never feel as sturdy as figures from other series.
Something I noticed when I was younger during tf3 all 3 subwaves never had a complete wreckers crew with one being weaponless. Cyberverse You had Leadfoot, topspin but no Roadbuster. Deluxe You had Topspin, no weapons Roadbuster and no Leadfoot. Human alliance you had Roadbuster, weaponless Leadfoot and no topsin. Obviously later on we got a cyberverse Roadbuster and deluxe Leadfoot
I really think your complaints are valid with this. The nostalgia for this toy, specifically as a retail release, is a sort of Stockholm Syndrome situation. Everyone, Really wanted the deluxe release via Target when the movie came out. When we all learned it wasn't going to make it stateside and the TT deluxe release was the only option, you were faced with 2 choices. Try to find the TT deluxe at an online retailer that hadn't been either drained of stock or doubled in price. Or get the HA release that was overflowing at Target and either continue in HA scale for the other 2, if not more, or let it be your sole HA toy for character completion of DOTM. It was a tough call but one that had to be made at he time. Saying that, Steeljaw is a great add on figure that never appeared on screen but definitely added to the value of the HA figure overall .
Agree on a lot of it, like most of the engineering is nice but got done in really awkward ways that don't really work a lot. That waist connection peg going through the slider gap and how the doors are set in the instructions are some the bad parts. You aren't missing much without stealjaw, he's fun enough as the dog but his 'weapon' mode is just laughable and the leash is way too short. Also as one who got the non target logo one he's actually still heavily painted even without them, just in car paint rather than logo decals
I think if tou watch optibotimus's old review of this figure..he did manage to transform it in an alternate way and it made it a while lot better..I highly recommend that video
It’s annoying that the roadbuster was the weaponized car like the movie but this one was left plain! Either do them all as clean cars or the movie accurate weaponize
Friend of mine had this and it broke eventually. Every time I missed with it I could never figure out how to get it into proper robot mode. I could wrap my head around Revenge of the Fallen Sideswipe more than this thing
I got this and Roadbuster in the hopes of having a Wreckers group, but Topspin never got a Human Alliance toy. So I decided to switch to Deluxes, and it was basically impossible to find Leadfoot due to being exclusive to a store that never had them in stock. So I just said "screw it" to the whole thing. As much as I liked them in the movie, I don't really like ANY of their designs or toys. That, plus the stupidly complex and fiddly transformation, made me actually appreciate Alternators. Those could be a pain as well, but the one that I still have (Jaguar Ravage) looks sooooo nice in both modes compared to any large-scale Human Alliance figure. All that said, I still like the Human Alliace Basic Class figures. Especially Thunderhead, who transforms into either the same type of tank as Cybertron Scrapmetal or an Exo-Squad E-Frame.
I've had HA Leadfoot since it came out and is one of the only movie figures I still have. It's remained in Vehicle Mode ever since because the transformation is asssssssss. Plus the Vehicle Mode is fire.
even though this isn't a positive review on the figure, i still rlly want it lol. it looks goofy but thats what makes it stand out. plus i actually really like the inconsistent plastic coloring. reminds me of that banana almond drink from trader joes. the car mode also looks super cool
That's probably got to be one of the best vehicle modes ever, but at the end of the day, it's a live action figure. I havne't seen a single one of those that actually feel nice to transform.
Dude make sure to don’t cut yourself while transforming that otherwise Cenobites might show up to claim your soul…. Also I’d really like to speak to that figure’s manager.
This figure is an overcomplicated mess and the proportions are terrible. I think the sheer amount of features and gimmicks and parts count made me love even the crappy HA figures back in the day but I wouldn't want to own any of them again, especially since we have MPMs now. The wreckers especially got screwed in 2011, since we didn't get a full set of consistent figures, and leadfoot (both HA and the deluxe) was extra hard to find.
The DOTM Wreckers were always weird toy wise, at least until the Studio Series versions. Human Alliance didn't even get all three and only one of them had the fully weaponized look. The Deluxes *did* get all three but Roadbuster was the odd one out in not having the weapons. And then Cyberverse (not that one) had the same issue but with Topspin.
I wonder who let this release with those proportions. Leadfoot is short, fat, and funny enough kicks his gut when he walks. I think it could look better if it wasn't so lanky.
The Human Alliance concept (Vehicles with interiors) is how I imagine the perfect MPM series to be.
If they gave him a bulkier chest I think he’d be really good. His alt mode is so cool and Leadfoot has a fun design in robot mode, the chest just kills it for me.

ah, a fellow NASCAR connoisseur, I see.

Is your pfp sarcastic lol
That's what they did on the other versions I believe
@@rexx5428 hell nah. She is just based.
Oh hi Ten!

I love this toy way more than i should. Fanmoded with bent knees looks great. Thinking of painting mine up
The fact that you called it a NASCAR Stock Car and not just a NASCAR was so satisfying as a huge fan of the series
He is an autobot that turns into a nascar that literally has the target logo on the hood like how are you supposed to call it that
But it is pretty fun
This looks soo weird, but if think of it as a transforming Mecha version of leadfoot it kinda works especially with that HA figure on his belly lol
you can fiddle with it to have the doors make a coherent chest that looks way better, but it's still a weird thing

HA Soundwave and the HA basic figures are some of the best from the entire dotm line.
The vehicle mode alone is worth it. Especially with the toyhax kit applied to it
how does the kit make the vehicle mode better?
@@slimebuck more sponsors on the car mode to make more like the IRL car

nice kinda thing about this is you can with some fiddling make his gut and torso look alot more accurate
I still need to find the SS wreckers
I’m still trying to search for a SS86 Grimlock lol
This may be a controversial opinion but, SS Topspin is crap
It aint controversial
Just facts
I believe optibotimus shows a way to get the doors in a more accurate spot
I lived this thing as a kid. Though it sucked when the shitty translucent plastic backpack broke years later. I still love the toy.
Hasbro: Make Human Alliance Roadbuster & Leadfoot toys.
Topspin: Hello Darkness my Old Friend 🙁🙁🙁
Saw this at a thrift store, somehow the doors were gone 😂😂😂
I feel bad that this Leadfoot is facing this much criticism.

You had Leadfoot, topspin but no Roadbuster.

You had Topspin, no weapons Roadbuster and no Leadfoot.
Human alliance
you had Roadbuster, weaponless Leadfoot and no topsin.
Obviously later on we got a cyberverse Roadbuster and deluxe Leadfoot

honestly "wacky AF" applies to literally every DOTM wrecker toy lmfao
Bro got a serious dad bod lmao. With the shades too he looks like a 45 year old dad with a target shirt on.
Dude I absolutely love the new decisions your making with your videos 😍

Why does he look half transformed 💀
It’s annoying that the roadbuster was the weaponized car like the movie but this one was left plain! Either do them all as clean cars or the movie accurate weaponize
Would love to see a new Human Alliance line but I would probably faint at the modern Hasbro pricing. I'm thinking at least 80 each?
Friend of mine had this and it broke eventually. Every time I missed with it I could never figure out how to get it into proper robot mode. I could wrap my head around Revenge of the Fallen Sideswipe more than this thing

Best part is that it's a nationwide series car when it should be a gen 5 cup series car
4:01 atta boy
6:47
Toy Guy: He’s seen something he shouldn’t have…
Me: Probably his gut and final official transformation
Weird, I always remember enjoying the transformation. Though I've since sold it.
Despite the really crusty transformation and the robot mode looking a bit jank, I actually kinda really want one nown despite its flaws
The thing on his front says “IMPALA”
I thought it said IMPALE
Human alliance likefoot should completely different from the movie version for a better transformation
Honestly this figure shouldn’t have opening doors at all
WAIT…thats supposed to be a beer belly??? I thought his chest was wrecked in a battle or something giving his robot mode a weird looking torso…
I've had HA Leadfoot since it came out and is one of the only movie figures I still have. It's remained in Vehicle Mode ever since because the transformation is asssssssss. Plus the Vehicle Mode is fire.

This is awful. But it has been the only Leadfoot available at a decent price for years. But there are a few easy mods to make it look better.
I have this figure and it is a pain in the ass in robot mode especially because it's broken
Are you going to review human alliance jazz
My dude, the main selling point was the human integration, which it does. You buy this to be your main Leadfoot and you're in for a bad time.
I definitely don’t like this leadfoot either. The studio series one is better
The transformation.... what is that? That looks aggravating...
That's probably got to be one of the best vehicle modes ever, but at the end of the day, it's a live action figure. I havne't seen a single one of those that actually feel nice to transform.
Leafoot robot modeis the caricature of a nascar fan.
It looks like he’s wearing red overalls.
i would only get this if its like 15-10 bucks good condition, just looks good only for nostalgia
Could you imagine saying poke my eye out with a blast effect 30 years ago lol maybe a missile ha
This things transfomation makes MP 44 look practical
welp, just bought one off ebay (like $25 which is a max good price)
hope i love it
Car mode looks like Lightning McQueen
I guess I'm just weird but I actually like the look of this toy. It's unique.
Where can I buy this? Everywhere I go it's been sold for 80 pounds and I don't wanna pay that much xd
My dash looks like leadfoot's head
4:54 man I’m dead💀💀
4:52 man I’m dead 💀💀
The SS Leadfoot is the only one worth owning.
And the original deluxe class??
Is it bad that I want this figure
No
It's your decision
Are you gonna do the adult collector thing for every video?
Buying a 100 rn btw I have topspin more wack then road buster
I tried ordering the studio series figure recently and this guy turned up instead; a very strenuous figure to put it lightly
To those looking for a human alliance figure you'll enjoy; the Jazz, the Jazz, the Jazz. Get the best Jazz figure ever made, way better than SS.
They shoulda used the Cup car and not the Xfinity car
Dude make sure to don’t cut yourself while transforming that otherwise Cenobites might show up to claim your soul….
Also I’d really like to speak to that figure’s manager.
I honestly thought this figure shot out a motorcycle from the chest because of how it looked, but nope, just lazy engineering
I’m pretty sure Leadfoot is a bigger mess than Roadbuster, I love Roadbuster
Still somehow better than the modern version of human alliance. (GI Joe crossover figures)
the only thing worth of this is the steeljaw but you didi'nt get it with him understandable
I feel like you would only display this in the alt mode
I much prefer the original DOTM Deluxe version
This figure is an overcomplicated mess and the proportions are terrible. I think the sheer amount of features and gimmicks and parts count made me love even the crappy HA figures back in the day but I wouldn't want to own any of them again, especially since we have MPMs now.

Of all the hideous movie toys you've shown us, this one takes the cake.
Why oh why oh why.

The Deluxes *did* get all three but Roadbuster was the odd one out in not having the weapons. And then Cyberverse (not that one) had the same issue but with Topspin.
I got all the human alliance vehicles and this is easily my least favorite...
Nice alt mode the robot is no for me
This thing is incomplete. A rough draft that was just RELEASED for no other reason than to generate sales.
Ideal discord mod physique
the ultra rare deluxe leadfoot is best leadfoot
Leadfoot was never a good design to begin with 😅
Looks like a bot in swim suit
I gotten this thing for Christmas years ago and needless to say I hate this thing as much as you do.
Why do you say this video is for adult collectors at the start of every video now. I love your videos but I'm only 15
Got hit by the "for kids" crap on RUclips which locked some videos so it's there for a precaution
@@ThatToyGuy darn sorry about that.
I wonder who let this release with those proportions. Leadfoot is short, fat, and funny enough kicks his gut when he walks. I think it could look better if it wasn't so lanky.
goofy ahh leadfoot 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
This figures like the new star wars trilogy. Looks good on the service but is just a fuckin mess once ya get into it
This is why studio series exist kids
The kids deserves the human allience line
Who designed this monstrosity?
Dad bod
What a mess
dam why he look like that
It just looks like his bra dropped a little too much and now I can't unsee it...
I love it
