Springer was another of my earlier commisions, and started life as a (Gasp!?) Camshaft. His head is a modded Tracks, and was one of my first attempts to really resculpt a head (Ironhide was fairly simple in comparison). The idea was to reshape the face into a more cartoon accurate likeness, and while I've always been less than totally happy with it, I still think it works. The crest and mohawk came out great, however. He's also got a repainted Grimlock sword which stores underneath the car.
The main color is Tamiya's Candy Lime Green spray paint, and is a truly gorgeous metallic green! (As an aside, I can't recomment Tamiya's sprays enough! They go on super smooth, with a feel more like airbrushed paint than spray paint, which is definitley better imo. Plus they adhere to plastic amazingly, being hobby paints on all...just a shame they're $5 for such a small can.) The other colors(dark metallic green, metallic grey, and the very light, almost silver, metallic green) are all custom mixes.
I thought I took more pics of this guy...but I guess not. Oh well.
