    MEH...looks good but will turn to dust once you look at it.....being an XTB product and all. Like everything else they make I will avoid like the plague!

    Incredible!Especially in the lower leg area wins hands down..Completely nailed the cartoon..Proportions are great,car mode better than FT,copter mode really good...First gonna wait and see if they dont fuck him up with materials and qc and then he will be mine! :) 

    EDIT: Looks like this one has two different chest pieces like the Unique Toys one...One for copter mode and the other for car and bot mode

    Okay, if they release it anytime soon, XTB have officially won the Springer Wars for me. I just got Eligos and it's my second favorite 3rd Party MP of the year for me - I'm perfectly happy with XTBs latest work.

    Comparison...

    This guy looks great in bot mode... a bit too stubby in alt mode. Man... the limits of the physical world suck!

    I admit the helicopter mode could use a longer tail, but X-Trans nailed the cockpit and the rest of the fuselage well, also the car mode has way better proportions than FT's efforts. It actually looks more like a car (albeit a sports car from the Jetsons) than a helicopter without a rotor.

    I'm thinking this guy is going to have a huge backpack, but hopefully I'm wrong.

    Welp. Aesthetically, XTransbots wins it again for me. Even if the designer's transformations are a challenge, there's no arguing with the results they achieve.

    It looks great, but the car is still too tall, a kind of futuristic Trailbreaker instead of the sportscar the cartoon reminds me.

    The CGI of the bot mode of the XTB Springer looks very good actually. Not liking the alt modes much though.

    I think I like FT's take on the alt modes (they look sharp and mean) best and XT for bot mode xD

    Can't we just mix and match? :p

    Too tall, that's exactly the description I'm looking for. I just don't get why he's like that!
