Blitz is a buy, just hoping that with the shrinking figures these days he's not too much taller than Octane and Astrotrain, he's going to be front and centre on the shelf though so a little more height isn't going to be the biggest problem in the world.

Springer is a pass. This has obviously been designed with Sandstorm rather than Springer in mind and getting put out as the better known character first. When we get him in the proper colours with the proper head I'll pick up the mould for my Wreckers, but I'm sticking with Defender all the way as my Springer. It'll be nice to finally get an original line up Wrecker without having to go either third party figure or third party add ons though.

A Finally a good Blitzwing. This is Masterpiece quality next to Animated, and I kind of liked that one but it has a ton of flaws.

This one is a buy on sight.
I... have the power!!!!

So what is that Robot kingdom Springer/Astrotrain announcement all about? ....did they just grab that artwork from somewhere because it doesn't look like the Springer shown at Toy Fair????

They probably for mixed up and thought Blitzwing was Astrotrain. And because so far the Generations Voyagers were characters using the FoC aesthetic, they most likely assumed that they would also be FoC-based.

I'm definitely going to be getting Springer(favorite).Want to get 4 of him if i can, three to display in each mode and one to keep factory sealed, its an OCD thing. its awesome we are getting a official Springer. missed out on the FP Defender, almost bought it for $150, really glad i didnt for that i can get my 4 Springers and a Blitzwing. Hope this means a updated Astrotrain is coming, always liked the triple changers.

After seeing the official product images, I am glad to know that the Toy Fair 2013 Blitzwing was rather mistransformed.

He shall be a definite buy on sight.

When I saw the first pictures of Springer and Blitzwing, I was really impressed. They really can do some great job when they want to, for they I mean the Toydesigners.

and yet the images from Toy Fair made him look like Universe Galvatron's derpy cousin. I know it was a matter or mere hours until we saw what he was supposed to look like, but you'd think Hasbro would have someone on hand to look at these things.

Please PM if you have (or know of) the following at a reasonable price: Classics or Henkei Prowl, Astrotrain, Ramjet, Skywarp, Sunstreaker, Sideswipe, Blurr, Perceptor, GDO Wheelie and Springer, or 3rd Party Motobot Arcee, FP Springer, iGear Ratchet and Ironhide, City Commander (and/or Ultra Magnus), Starscream (deluxe) Coronation add-on, or Spike and Daniel in their Exo-Suits.
