[edit] Animated series
Although new episodes of the animated series ended in the U.S. before Leadfoot was released, he did appear as in computer-animated form in a commercial for the Rotor Force and Laser Rods.
[edit] Marvel Comics
Leadfoot appeared in the Marvel Generation 2 comics.
Bludgeon, current leader of the Decepticons planned to create an army of Decepticons, so he constructed the bodies of the Rotor Force and Laser Rods. When Megatron killed Bludgeon and took back leadership of the Decepticons, one of his first actions was to steal the Matrix from Optimus Prime. The Matrix was then used to bring the new Decepticons to life.
Leadfoot first appeared in issue #6 as one of the lifeless Decepticon bodies. In issue 7 Rotor Force Leadfoot, Manta Ray, Powerdive and Ransack) and the Laser Rods (Electro, Jolt, Sizzle and Volt) were sent to steal Rheanimum, a potent substance Megatron intended to use in his quest for power, from the planet Tykos.
They would appear again in the Autobot-Decepticon alliance, battling against first the forces of Jhiaxus, and then the Swarm. Volt, Electro, Manta Ray and Lead Foot left the Decepticons and declared themselves Autobots during their final battle.

Leadfoot made his first IDW Publishing appearance in the Spotlight issue on Galvatron. Appearing as part of Hound's unit on Cybertron guarding Thunderwing's body, Leadfoot was shown trying to talk sense into Sideswipe as he disobeyed Hound. He was later killed by Galvatron while on guard duty.
