That Springer is dope.

Wow. That Spinger is pretty bad ass. I like it more then that Warbot Defender. I just think Defender is fugly.

But yeah, what's up with everyone side stepping Blitzwing. I think everyone is scared to tackle that project. Lol. C'mon Hasbro. Show them how it's done.

huh, So far no third party Springer has replaced Botcon Springer for me, but heck if it looks good I'll buy it.

i would be very surprised if that springer transformed, but its allegedly a triple changer so...
something about the way the head sits bothers me, but i'd buy it if they tame down the colors a bit. its springer, not green lantern.

Did anyone read the part of the post that said that IS NOT a toy they are making?

I would think about going for something like that. Price has been the only reason I haven't bought Warbot yet. And since 99% of my TFs are for display only, the plastic vs. diecast wouldn't matter to me.

I get what you are saying. Me, scale doesn't matter, since it hasn't mattered to Hasbro for 28 years.

Seems the people at X-Transbots are being very talkative these days, and in english! I asked them if they planned to make that Jaizaitoys Octane as one of their XT series. Their response:

Hi we have the planning but not copy theirs.We gonna to re-sketch Octane

So they are not directly copying the Octane, but Octane is one of the toys planned.

I agree if all goes well with their "Springer" it'll do well - but if that bad boy is a voyager.... this will be a MUST HAVE for me.

X-Transbots just posted some art of Octane and Sandstorm, definite hints of them working on Triple Changers.
