I am following Springer closely.

T30 Springer is one of my favourite figures of all time, so it will be hard to top.

It looks like this Springer is more G1 accurate. We saw the same happen with Kup and Blurr in Generations - they released them with more 'plausible' altmodes and then released them a few years later with G1'esque altmodes.

This lends more credence to the Astrotrain rumor

Trilling 30 Springer was never my thing.

Give!

Is it tragic that I can read all the Autobot text on Red Alert's bonnet without looking it up? :p

I'd expect nothing less from you actually. :p

I think I'll grab a Red Alert to custom into Clampdown.

Same, and I almost shelled for one a couple of days ago. Ended up getting wave 1 micromasters instead, very glad with the decisions.

May still get the sandstorm retool of T30 Springer though.

Springer is the part 2 to the Jetfire debacle. I already have one I love, but this one is so gloriously cartoon accurate, it would absolutely kill it with my Legends deluxes.

Maybe I should just put all these replaced figures on a separate IDW shelf. Magnus is starting to look good too. :(

I’m a sucker for red alert toys, and that’s a nice retool.

Springer is glorious but not quite as excellent as generations springer, so I won’t pick him up unless he goes on sale later (if he ever gets released here).

Thundercracker is a nice robot and possibly the first battle damaged figure where the damage looks alright and appropriately placed, without going over the top. Would still prefer no damage though.

If Springer is a Voyager then my TG Springer might be headed for storage.

So is Springer going to have his Cybertronian Armoured Car mode as well? One would assume so but I haven’t seen any pics yet and even the toy listing at BBTS just shows his helicopter mode.

I am sitting at a playground with my kids and I laughed out loud and snorted and it’s all your fault.:D:D:D

Yeah it's weird they haven't shown a render of it yet, but here are pics of it at the Hasbro toy fair.

Hasbro just released an official image of all 3 modes (https://tformers.com/toy-fair-2019-official-publicity-images-for-transformers-siege-reveals/34776/news.html) (image 5 of 10)

The Springer is so good, it makes me want to fork out for an original G1 and start collecting Springers of all makes and sizes.

The letters on either side of the shield say "F D" (Fire Department) and the characters below towards the front of the bonnet say "FIRE CHIEF."

Yeah, "Cybertronian" mode. :p ;)

I just hope the weathering on his chest looks more silver in person, that photo makes him look dirty/grubby. I have a T30 springer, this one is certainly more G1 cartoon accurate, so wouldn't mind owning him too.

Glad I can still get a laugh out of someone on occasion ;):)
