PRAISE DORADUS!! A SPRINGLOAD FIGURE!! :D
heh sorry, now that I got that out of my system.
interesting that these guys are revealed so soon after their comic-con announcements. and with Springload in particular not even having been officially revealed by Hasbro yet. shame we can't get a look at their decos right now to see how they differ from Hasbro (except Fracture?) but I guess there is enough time for that to be shown before these things will show up here.

That Springload is adorable, even with the sharp teeth, tiny little psycopathic frog (WITH A LOT OF KIDDLE ON HIS BACK) but his vehicle mode doesn't seem at all accurate to the show, but that could just be the angle, the lack of paint or detail. etc.
shame he is only a one-step but I guess hoping for anything more for him would be too much. although, grasping at straws here. it's interesting that Springload is listed as part of the Easy Dynamic series (TED) while other figures without warrior class versions (Fixit and Underbite) had their One-Steps released as part of the main Adventure line (TAV) could a warrior Springload be on the way? TELL ME SPIRITS OF DORADUS! I AM WORTHY!! :p

The Q transformers are cute as always. kind of crazy to hear the Grimlock is a redeco of Bumblebe. just not a sentence one would expect to hear.
