Which is your favorite Springer figure?

Alright, we got quite a few Springers now, so I'm keen to hear what people think. Tell which one is your fav and why. Will be interesting to see if anyone's favorite is the Generations Deluxe version!

Since there are only two genuine triple changer licensed figures to choose from, it made for a very easy choice!

If Springer was just a helicopter, then it would be a harder decision, the Cybertro Evac mold is amongst my favourite molds ever. The Cybertron Defense Hot Shot is another favourite.

Ditto. I'm old school so it's '86 for me

First and foremost: He needs to be a triple changer.
Second: Needs articulation. I like my action poses
Third: Needs bulk. My first time seeing him was in the '86 movie. He was was a burly warrior and needs to look armoured.

So Warbot Defender is the best depiction of Springer for me.

Yet to experience the new 'IDW' Hasbro Springer so no comment on engineering yet. However I will say that from all those pics, the IDW one probably is the best looking one.

(that Defender robot mode pose is also horrible)

I like the IDW look a bit more. Gives him more personality in my eyes. :D;)

You didn't add the rotf legends Springer. He was an osprey helicopter

After playing with IDW one today at the toy fair, I'm gonna have to go with it. It's better than all that came before.

Warbot looks pretty bad compared to the Roche inspired Springer. Definitely a smack back down to Earth, that the designers weren't expecting I think, He has the G1 blocky asthetic down though.:P

It's a shame the Cybertron Defense Springer and Evac!Springer can't be combined in some way, as I love both of those moulds immensely, some of my favourites of all time.

The only Springer I ever owned, though, is the Asia Generations one. It was fine enough for what it was, but as soon as the Voyager was announced it was hard to care about him. Awesome head though.

I always thought the Warbot Defender was a terrible representation of Springer. Like they missed the mark on everything but the helicopter mode. The face doesn't come close, the colours are off, the robot mode is too busy.
I'm assuming people loved it because it was a fun toy though.

I have the Generations Deluxe version because I really love the Tomahawk mold, but I don't think it's stature suits Springer. Especially when compared to the Generations voyager. He just looks like a gangly teen version. :D

So yeah, I voted Generations Voyager for looking like the best representation of the character. I do really like the funky stickers on the G1 Springer though.
