    You urge me to reach out and eradicate you through space and time. Sidearm Sideswipe is incredible.

    Best online threat ever.

    Anyway, I love the fanmode, it looks great. I'm still stuck on this mold's feet, though. Headrobots is producing alternate feet in their upcoming Drone kit; given this figure's transformation, I wonder how they're going to pull them off. And IF those feet look good, maybe they'd serve a decent alternative for Springer, as well..

    I think they're supposed to be a fall Toys R Us Exclusive. My guess is September, before the second wave of FoC figures hits.

    Is it hard to get all 4 wheels on the ground?

    Does any part of that fan-made vehicle mode peg together? Or is it all friction keeping all the parts in place?

    Not at all, my pic seem to show one front wheel up. THt was because I had a brain fart and did not positioned it properly.

    Thanks. :D 

    Dunno about the others, but mine is pegged in place, albeit with some parts that need to be attached to it.

    FOC Prime has snap-on wheels, which would make installation even easier. Can anybody attempt this substitution?

    TCracker.....that's just smooth...very very smooth. So smooth I can bottle it and sell it. :thumb 

    Seriously loving these third modes. This definitely has cranked up this figure quite a few notches. And I loved it before.

    Holy crap. That looks great! Has anyone identified the wheels there? Best wheels for this fan-made third mode so far. The color and design blend perfectly that it looks like it was designed that way.

    Not something exactly easy to come by then. :/ I'm sure there are more alternatives. I look forward to see what else people come come up with, but these particular wheels do fit the mold better than what we've seen so far, imo.

    I was going to wait for these to come stateside, but that last set of pics pushed my impulse buy button. Thanks, guys!

    This thing is really growing on me, especially the ability to add wheels to this thing and actually achieve a triple changer ability of sorts. Looks like I'll be getting this along with Swerve & Wheelie when the deluxes hit TRU later this year, and just figure out where I'll get the wheels from later.

    I really like what the addition of the wheels enable you to do with the feet. Much better for the Springer vibe.

    Can someone please post a picture of Springer with the season 3 autobots? I would love to see a size comparison.

    Mine arrived today.

    I'm conflicted. The colors are gorgeous. The head sculpt is great, and you can get the robot mode to look more beefy/humanoid with some simple adjustments. Turn the back wings just right and it helps the shoulder and head height problem. Folding up the black feet on the the front of the lower legs helps eliminate the chicken leg. It's a little tricky, but you can get it to balance on the little gray "foot" with the tiny wheel underneath even without a spur/heel for a counterbalance.

    What I'm having a problem with is the scale. He's too small in frame to fit in with Kup and Blurr. They've taken the tomahawk mold and made the best possible Springer out of it that you could, but the bot mode is still kinda small for a deluxe especially for those deluxes we would like him to stand aside in a G1 movie display.

    May I know where the wheels are from? Looks like a relatively easy mod?
