    Speaking as an IT professional...


    Have you tried turning it off and on again?

    Springer Wars! I missed out on FT-19 and initially thought he looked the best in all three modes and he still holds up well, but I'm now leaning towards MMC or XTB and anxious to find out how good Virtus will be, because many were satisfied with Saltus last year. Looking at the animation, not the movie but season 3, I think Virtus may be the closest. As much as I like FT-13 the shoulder are a bit large and the face sculpt is a little off. Anyway, how awesome to have so many options for this character. I almost pulled the trigger on Open and Play Bigspring last month when TF Source had him on sales for like $40-50, what a steal of a deal! But I'm holding out for just one representation of ol' Springer...and hoping XTB will nail him to a "t".

    If you don't like FT face then stay away from Big Spring lol

    I think ppl only like big spring because he's cheap. He's OK but he's certainly not the best.

    I hope they're not redesigning Springer too much, that concept art looks the best of them. I hope the materials and build are solid though

    Since all MP Springer have shit car modes and tolerable copter mode, this bot mode looks the best so I'm gonna sell off my FT one since he has 2/3 modes that sucks.

    I think it’s liked so much because for the price you can buy him he looks way better than he should. He very much is a budget springer, but he shouldn’t look as good as he does. (At least outside of the face area)

    Big Spring is a darn nice figure and does a number of things well. I wouldn't put the figure down because it is not overpriced.
    Personally, I don't care for the look of FT's alt-modes for their version of Springer. MMC looks good in robot and helicopter mode, but thier take on the car mode doesn't work for me. Unique Toys Allen has cool alt modes and a unique looking robot mode, that is not a completely to on or traditional design, which can be a negative or positive. It would be nice to see what XTB can release for their take on Springer.

    I have a rule with my TF collecting: Decepticons only. This keeps my expenditure on the hobby lower and I like decepticons better anyway. BUT....this thing has made me break my own rule. I only just saw this thing now and wow! I heard rumour they are redesigning this? Not too much I hope because the current design looks amazing. And to top it off with the bomb from '86 movie? This is awesome. I want this almost as much as FT Berserk and MT Silverback (that's a lot).

    At this point it's a 4 year old design (ballparking the design time it took to get it to a place where they wanted to show us renders) it would be extremely out of touch with today's expectations. I hope they can polish him up a good amount to avoid the problems we had with releases like Fanstoys Hotrod.

    I vow to you, that is next level willpower. I once thought about buying Autobots only and just keep whatever Decepticons I had, 5 seconds later I was buying MP Megatron.

    doesn't help that recently they seem to have stopped caring to give us any info or even revive the projects. Hell, ibot, our one XTB member thats on here, straight up lied about the size of their motor master and has ignored any and all questions about Galvatron and springer.

    What did he say about Gravestone's size? I've mostly avoided that thread (I don't think I could sufficiently control my negative comments if I frequented it so better for everyone this way).

    There was an obviously photoshopped image they made to make it look like he was shorter and scaled better with the limb bots. After a bunch of people pointed out it was to small compared to other pics and how Gravestone didn't even cast a shadow, ibot said there was no tampering and that it was a real image. so yeah.... don't really trust em.

    Thanks, I would have never known since the height difference is exactly what I expected all along. The second biggest reason I was out on the set.
