Title:
Lead Foot With Sergeant Detour And Steeljaw Vehicle Mode 3rd
Description:
Leadfoot / Sergeant Detour & Steeljaw (Human Alliance, 2011)
Japanese ID number: DA30
Accessories: Missile, leash
Known designers: Andrew Scribner (deco artist)
Human Alliance Leadfoot transforms into the same NASCAR Chevy Impala as the Cyberverse toy, although this one does not have any robotic bits showing in car mode. He comes with Sergeant Detour and Steeljaw.As usual, Sergeant Detour (or any other Human Alliance driver figure) can sit on the seats in vehicle mode or peg onto the robot’s hands. He can also man two flip-out guns on Leadfoot’s hood-chest as well as ride Steeljaw in his cyber-dog mode.Steeljaw can also convert into what might charitably be called a "weapon”, which is basically his head flipped up and the limbs arranged into a crossbow-shaped missile launcher. The weapon itself can be pegged onto either Leadfoot’s forearm or back via MechTech ports. Steeljaw also includes a detachable chain ’leash’ which can peg to Steeljaw and be pegged into Leadfoot’s hand. The leash itself stores in Leadfoot’s right arm.Finally, as with all of the large Human Alliance figures, he has a gimmick concerning his head. It’s essentially the same gimmick as Jazz’s and Roadbuster’s: when a lever on the back of his head is flipped, he dons a pair of visor-like "sunglasses”.There are also hundreds of ways that Leadfoot’s beer-belly and door chest can be arranged.One can store the missile by pegging it onto the thin ridge on the underside of Leadfoot’s crotch in either mode. Somewhat unfortunately, it’s not very subtle, with the missile proudly sticking out and erect between the seats in vehicle mode. Even more unfortunately, it’s Leadfoot’s crotch, so storing the missile in robot mode will make Leadfoot particularly happy to see you. Also notable is that his top-heaviness makes him prone to falling over when standing completely straight. Placing him in an action-oriented pose can remedy this.There are two deco variants of Leadfoot: A Target-exclusive version with the Target logos, car numbers, and other sponsors perfectly visible, especially the bullseye logo on his gut, and the TakaraTomy version that’s been completely de-sponsored, lacking all of his markings, making the car look very bare as a result. In exchange, the entire car shell has received a shiny coat of paint, and the robot mode’s lower legs, forearms and head are painted silver.The Japanese release comes packed with a character card for the MechTech Wars online game. Interestingly, the card still shows Leadfoot with all of his markings, but with the Target logo on his chest lacking the inner circle, essentially just being a ring.
