    Pretty much, he was the leader of the wreckers in their old Marvel comics way back when... and the dreamwave comics.

    So here's hoping for springer

    Essentially. The first issues with the Wreckers had a non-toy character, Impactor, lead them. By the end of the story arc, Impactor was dead (what a shock) but he nominated Springer to succeed him. Springer led the Wreckers over many issues until they were massacred by Galvatron and Megatron, but he survived the battle and went on to lead a ragtag group of Autobots and Decepticons from the battle that was known as the "Survivors."

    In every other comic continuity Springer leads the Wreckers, but sometimes Impactor is mentioned as their past leader. Impactor actually got his biggest part ever in the recent Wreckers series.

    (Springer has nothing to do with the post Beast Machines Wreckers, but they don't really fit the standard depictions.)

    I think that it's a human guerilla-faction that is allies with the Autobots and N.E.S.T. that call themselves "The Wreckers" for some reason. I don't think these vehicles turn into robots.

    I thought this could be the case and i'm stoked to see it come to light. It'll be the first mainstream (non comic) appearance of the Wreckers.

    Name wise, i'm hoping for:

    Green car - Springer
    Red car - Impactor
    Blue car - Roadbuster

    I'm gonna call it and say they'll be all-new characters based on Mexican stereotypes.

    I'm not expecting any justice towards the "Wreckers" subtitle. I know better.

    Brilliant! I hope one of them is springer. I can live with him not being a triple changer.

    Man, theres one hell of a lot more new Autobots this time around. We've got three wreckers, Doc Emmet Brown bot, Rollbar, the red ferrari... And i thought there was meant to be "less bots" for tf3! Screentime for each will no doubt be limited, but for the sake of an epic battle, im not complaining!

    Gotta wonder where all the cons are at though. Their conspicuous on-set absence leads me to believe that they will all sport cybertronian modes or just be in bot mode the whole time. They could be military vehicles again, but surely they'd be on set?

    Damn, now I have to buy them. I wonder which Wreckers they'll be or if they're all new characters.

    Well that's interesting. I certainly won't expect much or any reference to the original Wreckers - seeing as how Seekers in the movie-verse are also a different matter.

    I knew they were going to be Autobots. When that video of them being filmed was put on this website, i said that it didn't look like they were being chased by the Autobots, it's quite the opposite, there leading the Autobots to victory.

    You go with Mex steretyping, i'm gona go with Tex stereotyping. I can just see them screaming into battle, "yeehawin", and suchlike.

    Correct me if i'm wrong, but isnt NASCAR often viewed in the US as the preserve of rednecks? If so, redneck accents it is!

    I'm not holding my breath for Springer. Remember, these are the people that turned the Seekers into a bunch of old dudes.
