Lightfoot is the name of a Japanese exclusive Transformers Autobot (Cybertron) Powermaster (Godmaster) character who appeared in the Super-God Masterforce series.
[edit] Transformers: Generation 1
Lightfoot is nearly identical in appearance to the Hasbro Autobot Getaway and his Powermaster partner Rev, however he is a completely different character than the one portrayed by Hasbro.
His tech specs state he can travel at speeds of Mach 10 in racing car mode. He excels at high speed combat and is a first class strategist. He carries an electromagnetic rifle and his final attack is the "Round Waterfall", where he brings up water from the Earth and strikes it at his enemies like a waterfall.
[edit] Animated series
Lightfoot is the 17 year old son of the head of British Motors, a Canadian-based auto company (although his bio states he's from the United states). His father created a prototype car from metal he discovered in the Canadian Rocky Mountains. When Lightfoot became old enough to drive, his father gifted him the car. Lightfoot started to get dreams of a robot. He contacted Godmaster Ginrai when he heard about his television appearance, and the Autobots (Cybertrons) started to suspect his cars was a Transector. He was given a set of Master Bracers by Ginrai and became a Godmaster when they were attacked by the Decepticon (Destron) Pretenders. He is able to control the flow of water.
[edit] Toys
- Generation 1 Lightfoot (1988)
- Identical to Powermaster Getaway, Lightfoot was a 15 cm long Mazda RZ-7. With a a real Mazda of that model measuring 429 cm long, this toy would have a scale of about 1:29. Having a 15 cm tall robot mode as well, that would mean Lightfoot would stand about 429 cm tall as a real robot, or about 14 feet tall.
