I like that. The head reminds me of Bulkhead.

They've been doing those sets with enough pieces to make three different things for a while now. Giant robots aren't a new thing either. That is remarkably similar to Springer, though.

FRIGHTENINGLY Springer-like. If it was a car as the official third mode instead of a truck, I'd definitely be calling "RIPOFF!" on that one.

Ha, yes! First thing I thought when I saw the box art for that new 2013 Lego set yesterday.
I'm on quite a few Lego forums (Eurobricks, Brickset, FBTB), but I thought everyone on those forums would probably not even know who Springer is, for me to post anything about it!
I'm so meta, even this acronym...

This one is more of a stretch, but Optimus Prime, Gears, and Smokescreen?

Bulk-springer or is it Springer-head? Either way this upcoming Lego Creator set seems suspiciously similar to the Transformers characters Bulkhead in robot mode and Springer in vehicle modes. Is this a case of Lego ripping off Kre-o that ripped off Lego? Take a look below.
