Now that we've got a clearer look at Springer, we can get a better idea of how Sandstorm would look like from his VTOL mode on Metroplex's box.

1. Bumper of dune buggy.
2. Bumper parts and headlights.
3. Extra lights/Intake?
The front wheel parts look like the same, so presumably the VTOL wings fold down and back to become side of dune buggy and turbines become rear wheels(naturally, bigger than front ones).
Assume that the leg transformation remains the same sans the rear wheels, this will leave robot mode some major kibble on the back--huge wings! It'd be really interesting to see what the designer did with these wings.
My conclusion: Dune buggy mode will be quite good and more distinguished from VTOL mode than Springer's car is from chopper. Robot mode could be hit or miss though...
