LEADFOOT




It's a pity that I'm unable to get my hands on the deluxe sized Leadfoot. This character appeared in the third installation of the Transformers movie, Dark of The Moon.

I did some homework about the background of the vehicle & found that in vehicle mode, this race car is a NASCAR Sprint Cup Chevrolet Impala. The design & decals on the car were specifically associated with Juan Pablo Montoya's car that bears the number #42.





 

Leadfoot falls under the Wreckers category whereby their initial scope of operations are engineering related. Even in Cyberverse mode, you can see that the car has been modified to carry an arsenal of fire power.




A closer look at Leadfoot.




Transformation only takes a few easy steps. As you can see in robot mode,  Leadfoot doesn't really have much depth at the sides. Although this robot looks fat from the front, it is rather slim from the side.




Articulation is limited but one thing cool is that the fists are moveable. Even though the robot is rather flat, somehow the center of gravity is quite low making it easy to pose.

AUTOBOT ARK






From the third transformers movie Dark of The Moon, this is the Autobot Ark. It was the escape spaceship that the Autobots used, to leave Cybertron just as they were being attacked by the Decepticons.







Different views of the Ark. There is a golden button at the side of the cockpit that you can see from here. Press it & you'll get some lights & sounds coming out of this ship.





As we take a look at the front cockpit of the spacecraft, this set comes with Autobot Roller.
 


The ship opens up and transforms into a base. Each part of the base has been installed with a couple of play factors. Roller stands watch on top of the tower.







These are the overall views of the base before looking at the different parts in detail.

 


On the left side of the base, there is a medic bed & a repair arm to fix battle damaged Autobots.




Behind the gun turret, you'll see a cage that's supposed to be a prison where you can fit in captured Decepticons.




In front of the base there is a ramp. There are two golden buttons at the side of the ramp. The left button actually raises up the back ramp to roll one of your toys down while the right button activates the light & sound for the ship.




Here's the gun turret previously mentioned.




The last detail of the ship, on the right we see the teleporting portal. This is what the Decepticons were after. Once they acquired the teleporting pillars, they could activate the space bridge to summon reinforcements from Cybertron to destroy planet Earth.





Now let's see what Roller can do.







In vehicle mode, Roller is supposed to be a space exploration drone. The front arms can bend around easily.




Here's roller in robot mode.





Roller is quite flexible in robot mode. However this skinny robot may topple at times due to improper weight distribution. The right arm is a lot heavier than the normal sized left arm.

BREAKDOWN




This is the Cyberverse version of Breakdown, which comes in the form of a mobile armored truck. To me, it's just a blue box with four wheels.






The Energon weapon can be attached onto either sides of the roof.




Being a Cyberverse class, transformation only takes a couple of steps. I'm not sure if the weapon is meant to be used this way, as there is a handle at the back of the weapon that makes it look like an Energon blade.




The weapon can also be attached to the arms. With limited articulation you can't really pose this Decepticon around.

EVAC




This cute buggy is from the Transformers Prime Cyberverse series. Who said that good things don't come on small packages?






There are four slots for you to attach the weapon. This same weapon is also being yield by other Cyberverse characters such as Arcee & Bumblebee.




It only takes a few simple steps to transform Evac into robot mode.




You can't expect much from a Cyberverse in terms of articulation but Evac does look sharp for a small bot. There are paint details at the front of the chest and the Autobot emblem can be seen on the upper left chest.
