    I wonder if Montoya, Earnhart, Etc. are going to be in the movie as well. That would be cool.

    Who knows, maybe they will use the weapon mode/stealth mode to mask the logos? It seemed to work well for the Topspin mold. There is barely any "Lowes" insignias on it. I don't know, just a theory...

    I knew this would happen... But you know what? As long as he's screen accurate, I don't care. I'm kind of glad that Hasbro is apparently willing to go out on a limb for this guy.

    Interesting. A full set of excellent versions of the Wreckers might make me buy some DOTM toys beside the Prime model kit, after all! Deluxe Topspin is a standout in the size class, but I'm so far passing due to the other dlx Wrecker we've seen looking kind of shonky (I'm baffled by why Roadbuster's car mode looks nothing like the on-screen car. I assume it's some license nonsense, shame..)

    But, if they do a Topspin-level job with dlx Leadfoot, and we get an accurate dlx Roadbuster later in the line, then that could be a nice little set to pick up.

    I agree, I have no clue why Hasbro decided not to do Roadbuster with the Stealth Force armor. Maybe his stealth force was to difficult to translate into a toy? Maybe it's because an intact Dale Jr. NASCAR model might become more valuable. I don't know.

    But I look forward to hopefully a better toy of him, hopefully one without so much back kibble.

    Well they did do his stealth force for the human alliance figure so I don't know what their plan is. But I am sure they will make a Armored Roadbuster in time. Remember we still haven't seen deluxe toys of Mirage and the Einstein bot yet.
