I was kinda hoping the HA would have detachable weapons. Is there any word on this?

 

Human Alliance Leadfoot comes with a small robot animal named steeljaw that converts into leadfoot's arm cannon.


I think human alliance roadbuster may have one detachable mechtech gun. judgeing by the pictures.

No information on human alliance topspin yet. But if these are successful, its going to happen.

 

They'll probably just repaint Roadbuster. :-(

 

Perhaps the Leadfoot Deluxe will be a plain Nascar to show off the Target sponsorship the better.

 

Maybe they will all get a variety of versions, I don't know.

 

While I don't think any of them will have true Mechtech weapons, Roadbuster has three weapons that can be rearanged (chainsaw, engine gun, and machine gun), and Leadfoot has Steeljaw, who can turn into a cannon of sorts.

I honestly doubt that'll be the case. The Wreckers are unique enough that I don't think Hasbro would attempt to repaint one of them as another one.

Personally, I'd rather his Deluxe figure be teched-out like Topspin's is. As it is, the HA figure seems to be doing a good job of showing off the Target Sponsorship.

 

This would NOT amuse me. In all likelihood that's six distinct molds, in three size classes. I'd like to see some DotM toys that aren't Wreckers, please!

As usual, Hasbro underestimated everyone's OCD. As has been said, they probably tried to keep any one size class from looking too same-y.

 

...and perhaps they'll then do a weaponized (mass release) verison w/o the Target logo?

hopefully

 

Waiting for potential remolds?

 

I honestly don't think they'll retool the molds to be represent their other mode. For example, I don't think we'll see a teched-out Deluxe Roadbuster, or a normal looking Deluxe Topspin. It would be cool, but I doubt Hasbro would do it. Especially since they would effectively have to create a whole new mold to do so.

 

I think Hasbro is correctly figuring that kids won't buy two of the same figure (that ain't bee or optimus) in the same size class, the first time around.

Maybe they will release other versions in later waves/sublines.

 

the wreckers are gonna be my first HA figures, so as long as we get clean and weaponized versions i'll be fine, deluxes, HA, or legends, i'll buy, i'm gonna barely buy anything else

 

Really wish Roadbuster's deluxe was weaponized. Might have made him not as much of a shellformer.

 

I notelets that Leadfoot don't had a Deluxe,Roadbuster don't had a Legions, & Topspin don't had a Human Alliance.

 

how is he a shelfwarnmer before coming out? and wave 1 of anything shelfwarms in general

 

Exactly. Its a good place to put something that might be weaker than other deluxes they have planed. I mean look at sideswipe or rampage from the first wave of revenge of the fallen, not the best deluxes but it seemed they did'nt warm pegs past the films debut. Its going to sell So that cooler off screen characters can be made. A lot of hate on deluxe roadbuster it seems. He does have collapse-able mechtech ports you can use on his doors and roof. As well as those rocket launchers than can actually be deployed in vehicle mode like peaugh demonstrated in his video by cracking open the back bumper and spreading out the pods. Those pods and his cool chainsaw mechtech are enough for me. Also it has a bit to do with the way the chest transforms on the CG model. Because of that on the hood chest the takara engineers felt it was better to do the model with the clean vehicle with mechtech options.

Maybe there was some communication that some of the toys needed to be clean for those licenses and nascar driver marketing jive to break into the masses. But such talk is a delightful conspiracy that means little so long as the deluxe is solid.

 

Shellforming=/=Shelfwarming...?
