The Nascar Wreckers are in full force over at Ben Yee's BWTF. He's reviewed both Cyberverse Legion class figures, and has provided a thorough look at both figures. The first is Leadfoot, the 'third' wrecker who has yet to have an announced Deluxe class toy, but is already planned for the Human Alliance scale. His Wrecker pal is Roadbuster, the green Nascar, who is rather detailed for a smaller scale toy. His Deluxe class gallery is already here on Seibertron.com. Check out the pictorial reviews by clicking the links or pictures below!

In spite of myself, I DO really like roadbuster... plus the grid textures and details on the vehicles (here and on Bumblebee, etc.) look really nice.

I think they're trying to market some toys to my slightly overweight fast-food eating USA demographic? (HA!) Lead-gut here reminds me I need to get out and exercise a bit. :-?

Yeah, that gut is stupid. I think I saw an HA figure of him that was just as bad. So TFs grow beards when old and can also get fat.

I really like the built in weapon (chainsaw) on Roadbuster. Hopefully we can get a weaponized Cyberverse Topspin so we can at least complete one set of fully weaponized or not Wreckers.

Leadfoot is rockin' the beer gut, which I don't mind. It gives him a bit of character in a world full of giant robots with six packs.

Roadbuster just looks phenominal for being a Legion Class. He's even got the chainsaw!

Good point.... I'm not sure what I think of Shockwave's six-pack either. Heh.

Man, those ARE really detailed. I like them already.

Too much high calorie energon will do that to you.

Roadbuster looks cool but Leadfoot is horrible. Why would a robot be or want to be fat? I dont get the thinking behind it at all. Just like why cant bumblebee talk, cant you repair or replace his vocal system? Im guessing that they want all the fatties to relate to a character so the toys sell more, "hey hes fat like me think ill buy it". Sorry im just pissed that they had to make the robot mode of Montoyas car the worst out of the 3.

I still can't get behind these. I didn't like the "ghetto" twins and I'm not liking these "trailer" bots. What happened to making bots look good with personality without stereotyped robot forms? G1 had Jazz, and Blaster and they didn't need gold teeth :BANG_HEAD:

or posturing

to know they were from the "darker" areas of Cybertron. G1 had Ironhide and Beachcomber and without cowboy boot looking feet and a big belt buckle or a surf board and board shorts, you knew what they were about too. I like the look of what people have deemed "Bay-formers". But these ethnic bots are embarrassing to the Transformers name. That's my opinion anyway...

okay, seriously? you guys are all like OMG HICK AND GHETTO BOTS! OH NO! Jeeze, like the guy obove me, jazz, ironhide, beachcomber, etc. I mean no one... NO ONE complained about jetfire and his hunchback cane and beard look. Personaly, I like the wreckers, and EVERYTHING about them! Besides, what's sitting here and complaining going to do huh? nothing, so just try to enjoy it, cause it aint gonna change. let the hillbilly talk..... COMMENCE!!!!
BTW the toys need all weaponed and clean versions in one class. scale issues for multiple classes is a pain in our asses.
