Thankfully, I don't need another Springer, but Octane is now added to my growing list of G1-Transformers-I'll-never-buy-because-it's-probably-a-knockoff. :(:mad:

(I wish they hadn't done Gnaw. I would have liked to own a Gnaw.)

[Damn it - I just read some of the comments on that TFW2005 link and now I want to sanitise my brain.]

Heres a difference...

See the piece that comes off his roof in heli mode... the bit just under the rotor..

To me it looks like the little slit cut in that piece on the G1 is not there ..

I could be wrong but this pic looks as though this is the case. SPRINGER (http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/attachment.php?do=fullview&attachmentid=23361) (looking from the back of the figure to the front . :)

these look like really good quality KO's. From the pictures they look like their really well made. Springer looks like he has the original metal chest.

Don't want Springer, already got Universe Tankor...the fans at TFW2005 are welcome to 'em.

Is it just me, or is the face the same shade of green as the rest of the head?

I am looking at mine, and his face is a lighter shade of green.

Can anyone else vouch for that?

Hey your right mine has a light green face and the helmet sort of part is a darker shade of green

well spotted!

Oh dear its just making buying G1 more hazardous nowadays:(:(:(

[SOUNDBLASTER]

Not as long as we have places like this to do our homework...
If you're really serious about collecting u will take the time to see into all the little nooks and crannies of the KO world so that u can make the right decision before every purchase u make .. :D:D

(But that said yes it is a pain in the behind) :cool:
