    GDO Springer Mod - new feet and wheels

    Well I tried the wheel mod but wasn't happy so far, some of you set the bar really high. Instead I decided to give Springer some better looking feet.

    It does affect his alt mode, but the improvements it makes to robot mode make it worth it.

    Also the wheels pop out easy from the missile launcher:

    For the new feet? I just swapped in the Green Nascar guy's feet from Transformers DOTM. The foot had a similar design to the pivot that the original "toe" that springer had. I just had to thin the piece out to fit, then mod the foot a little to make sure the new feet could transform and not look as goofy.


    As far as the wheels this one helped me figure enough out to get it going:

    That's certainly not horrible. Especially compared to the claws he had before. Does kinda kill the streamline of the ass end of the helicopter though.

    Nice idea. The new feet work well. The rear.of the car mode reminds me of a cricket.
