Bah !!!
I hate prioritising plastic crack.
I had to leave BD Iron man in favour of Mech Test Tony, War Machine and now probably whiplash to  

Hopefully you will be able to pick it up later (when Hot toys has finished abusing your wallet) or if there is a second release like the City Commander armour.

A proper review of this toy was just what I needed to justify buying it. Excellent.

 

Man, can't wait to put my hands on this and slap a big fat Autobot symbol on it  

 

Now I REEEEAAALY can't wait for mine to get here!!

 

I have to say the review for Warbot Defender (Springer) was great. Thanks Vangelus you really pointed out what was awesome this figure and the bad parts. Despite the heels and almost breakable sword, I might buy this, but right now I'm going to think about it and if I decide to get them then I get him.

Furthermore, I have to say the FansProject did a sweet ass job. 'nuff said.

 

Just saw the video review; super entertaining as usual!

 

Can't wait to get mine soon.

 

Excited!

 

The stand referenced is a Bandai Action Base 1 (the one designed for larger 1/100 models, rather than the smaller Action Base 2).

The moment the first picture loaded, I saw that, knew what it was instantly, and giggled with glee. FansProject is awesome.

 

Had to buy one of these after reading the review. Thanks a lot  

 

i was sold on him but now i want him even more
but i cant ship my POL from bbts yet  

 

As I posted on youtube the Alt mode is not my cup of tea

 

I love this even more than before cant wait to get one.

 

Damn, great review! I think you convinced me into buying this guy.

 

Thanks for the great pictorial and video review.  
Warbot Defender defiantly looks great, but I'm still on the fence about him. I just wish they wouldn't had used die-cast on him. Hey maybe if they do another run they would do the next run in all plastic and with a thicker sword  

 

Having just finished shooting my review of the figure, I can say that the diecast really isn't an impediment here. It's well done, well balanced, and really doesn't stick out the way you'd expect it to. My only real complaints on the figure are the lack of an autobot symbol (understandable and easily remedied) and the scimitar. It's not bad, and I don't get the feeling that it will break, but it just feels kind of cheap when taken along with the rest of the figure. Overall though, WELL worth the money.

 

I have no idea how you managed to get one of these before ANYONE else, knowing how things generally go for us up here in Canada, but...

Thank you.

I've had this guy on Pre-order forever. FansProject stuff is like premium grade crack to me, and I was starting to get the shakes without my fix. I'm also a serious sucker for gunslinger-type robots (You should have seen me when finally snagged Brawn) and it's good to see that Springer embraces that motif to the point of being able to quickdraw.

The only issue I have now is... can I hold out long enough for the Bruticus sets to hit my PoL before shipping to make having used BBTS worthwhile? (Before you mention it, I've never encountered the shipping or customs destruction problem, and I've used BBTS for YEARS)

At any rate, this was an important review, not only for us hopelessly addicted Fansproject fanboys, but moreso for everyone who's on the fence about this. Thank you, good sir.

 

Great video review. Mine is already in my pile of loot waiting.
