Which Classics Springer is better?

[Gutsman Heavy]

Universe FTW, Springer was barely a triple changer anyway.
Robot to Helicopter, to helicopter without a rotor.

I'm sorry, a tribute to a tripple changer needs to be a tripple changer.

Botcon Springer feels more like the Wreckers (G1 or IDW) character, the rebel commando leader armed and ready for battle. Universe Springer is more like the Cartoon character, the Autobot jock who normally turns into a helicopter.

And since I prefer the Wreckers incarnation I'm voting for the Botcon toy.

I agree with everyone raging over the lack of a Triple Changing Springer. It'd be extremely easy to do if they followed his original toy closely.

[Golden Phoenix]

He needs to be a triple changer. While the 2 mold both suit him in one way or another, what they lack (usually what the other figure has) makes the molds feel off and sort of not right.

Since it seems Hasbro does not want to make a triple changing Springer, I went with the Universe version since it looks far better than the Blades figure.

Cybertron Evac is a great mold to use too.

I actually like the BotCon toy.

As for a Triple Changer... it's not like he used the car mode much.

I'm not against a Triple Changer, btw. But I'm perfectly content with my BotCon version. Leaving the limited nature of its release aside, of course.

They're reusing the Botcon Springer mold in the Universe line as Roadbuster, which I think is a better fit, which means I'll most likely use Universe Springer in my display and pack back up my Botcon Sprinter.

[Pipesqueak]

I'd be a lot more tempted by these repaints if they changed the head moulds to look like the originals. The vehicle and colours are fine for Roadbuster, for example, but that head just ruins the homage attempt.

Haha- the results of this thread amuse me greatly Yay I agree too!
Shouldn't be TOO hard to pull of right? They're already doing that tankor triple changer!
