Which is your favorite Springer figure?

I like the IDW look a bit more. Gives him more personality in my eyes.

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.

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.

New Springer makes all of the others redundant. Otherwise I'd say Universe Springer, I love that mold.

Botcon Springer is awesome but he doesn't really look like Springer.

I've said Springer too many times.

Fascinating to read the variety of points of view...

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

Yeah, I do personally think Springer should be a triple changer too... although nothing wrong if you wanna pick Defender. Before the Generations Voyager release, many people may well pick Defender as the choice Springer.

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.

Agree with the points too... although I think Generations Voyager seems good enough on the tough stakes based on pics. I have him on pre-order still waiting to arrive, so can't comment based on in-hand experience.

Springer has a rated strength of 10 and spec total of 66, so he is one of the toughest bots there is. The list of Autobots with strength 10 who are not Combiner forms or City-bots is very short. The list of all transformers with a spec total of 66 or higher is even shorter. Of course, all this doesn't necessarily have to have any bearing on which you pick as favorite...

I own Universe Springer, and Universe Roadbuster (recolor of the BotCon mold)... but I picked the Generations Voyager for many of the reasons listed by others.

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

Actually, I didn't know about that figure. But alien insectoid movie aesthetics alone may have been enough reason not to include him!

GDO Springer.

I'll take a Springer with only a sleek dangerous looking attack chopper mode over a triple changer with a gimped chopper mode any day.
