Haven't had a chance to open him yet, won't get size comparison pics till tonight. But here is a taste, and some proof of what I claim.
Vehicle mode is insanely detailed, and unbelievably detailed. Pictures can't do it justice. Best HA figure to date.
Awesome

Also, I wish I could open this, the tires almost look rubber.
I doubt they are, but that would be epic.
And now that I think if it, I bet you Hasbro can't release these 1:24th scale Nascar's for licensing. So i bet the only way you will see Topspin and Red leader in HA size will be in "Wrecker" mode. I hope they do both, Top spin is just a remold, and I have no idea what the third wrecker looks like, does anyone?
Human alliance leadfoot. Get a good look. he has a beard, a beer gut, stubby legs, and a pet bulldog named steeljaw that turns into the gun on his right hand. and who says were over steriotypes?

Don't care, that is awesome, please and thank you.
I hope Topspin is in the works then.

I saw some pics on another site comparing him to HA Jazz, he's about the same height.
Too bad I don't collect HAs, cuz this is pretty badass. I like it a lot. The Deluxe is just a little bit disappointing.

What? oh, I wasnt dis'n leadfoot. actually, he's my personal fav! If only a decent sized figure would be released! A Deluxe leadfoot in battle mode, so they can hide the Target Logo, and give me a full deluxe set! I can put roadbuster in Weapon mode, my own personal way, wich looks pretty good IMO. BTW, is it just me? Or does HA Roadbuster here appear to have alot of folding panels? if so, Maybe he has a Regular NASCAR mode too! TAKE A CLOSE LOOK! when compared to the actual weapenised roadbuster car. of course, those extra "INTACT" car parts there (the front with headlights etc) could just be there for a more screen accurate robot mode. meh, im just confusing myself...OPEN THE DAMN THING ALREADY!

though i would then need an additional three decepticons to balance them out...and they never make many decepticons. Maybe Megatron, soundwave, and something hahaha

Ah yeah, mech tech works with these!

They can not be smaller: by definition, all HA are in the same scale (1/24 I believe, but not sure).

Amazing pictures ! Without doubt the HA series (both standard and basic) are the crown jewels of the DOTM toy-line.
I just wished more decepticon were released: Barricade is awesome and Soundwave is expected, but it would be nice if Sideways (with Alice maybe) and Rampage (with Sam's parents) were released as well. On the Autobot side, HA versions of Jolt, Mirage, Ratchet and Wheeljack are also very welcome.

Umm dude there's NO WAY they will release a HA Rampage and Ratchet. Why? Cause Ratchet is 20 feet in the movie and so does Rampage,not to mention Rampage have a Bulldozer alt mode -.-...EVERY HA is 16-17 feet transformers and below.
On topic : Roadbuster looks epic :O. By the way to those who are wondering why HA Leadfoot's alt mode is a Nascar mode and not "Wreckers" mode...There's actually a pattern for it :-
For Legends class,RB and LF is Wreckers while Topspin is Nascar
For Deluxe class,MAYBE LF and Topspin is Wreckers while RB is Nascar
For HA class,RB and MAYBE Topspin is Wreckers while Leadfoot is Nascar
So pretty much you cant get all "Wreckers" in the same class line X_X...Perhaps Hasbro did it because umm...to show appreciation to the real nascars...maybe xP.

ROTF HA never was released in the Netherlands. So I expected the same will happen DOTM HA series.
I bought all them on-line: 1st choice = Archonia.com, 2nd choice = Kapow-toys.com, 3rd choice = ebay
That's our fate in Europe
Posted by Starscream GaGa on May 27th, 2011 @ 5:07am CDT
I really want a set of all three Wreckers with weapons out, in scale with each other. Its a bit frustrating to me that Deluxe Roadbuster and HA Leadfoot don't, while HA Roadbuster and Deluxe Topspin do.

He deserves better articulation.
Well you can kiss your wish goodbye cause chances of Ratchet getting a HA is umm...0.0001% -.-. Cause HA is just meant for 16-17 feet transformers and below so all you can wish for is either a leader class of him or a voyager class.And honest to god I dont think Ratchet deserve a leader class cause let's face it...He's a seriously MINOR character with barely any screen time in the two movies he's in >.>...

Tucson, AZ Walmart, there were two Roadbuster's, and Two BumbleBee's. It was the first case of the 29.99$ HA figures they put out since the release date.
do you mean the walmart right across from sears and not to far from an AFB?
cause i used to go there to shop at times!
to bad i HAVE TO buy threw the web now that i moved, or i pay in euro.

If HasTak dared to release a Leader Class Ironhide, I don't see a reason why a Leader Class Ratchet couldn't be released. And that's enough to have a Ratchet figure that is more-or-less in scale with the HA series (like Leader Ironhide is). Regarding Rampage, I agree the chances as close to zero. It seems construction vehicles are not really popular with this generation of boys.

You are not going to regret. IMO the HA figures (together with some of the Leaders) are the best you can get from the movieverse collection

I Call bullshit, unless your talking about this:
In wich case, it's just an add on for voyager ratchet, and I do beleive it was a knockoff/3rd party deal, and I never saw it for sale on any site.
OH! about a year ago, I wrote Hasbro on the Idea of a human alliance Sideways with alice, Some guy WAY up there had the same Ideology
I wanted a sideways that was more screen accurate, with pop out saws like in the game, much like roadbusters they were!
Still. human alliance ratchet...
if you have a pic, that is not this, then POST IT!

That looks identical, the picture I have is of those guns and add-ons but in vehicle mode.
Lame, I had thought all this time the door meant it was a true HA.
Thanks for the info, no I can erase it.
