I found this image gallery of the Target exclusive Springer, and I was just curious if a TF guru who is familiar with the Cybertron Evac mold could give me some suggestions on accessorizing Universe Springer with a gun and a sword. I like the ones pictured (I think the sword is Vector Prime's), but what I really like is the size of the gun. It looks about the same proportion as the gun Springer has in the comic that comes with the figure. Does the mold have a spot that the gun can attach to in vehicle mode?

Just FYI: that image looks like a mod-job. For one thing, they removed the rotors from his left arm. I don't know what else is modded there, but it doesn't look like they simply snapped another figure's weapons into his fists.

Ummmm...his rotors snap right on/off? lol. You have to assemble them once you open the Target exclusive comic pack. That's just Springer with Vector P's sword and I am not sure where the gun came from.

Yeah the rotors come off.

As for the gun, not sure who its from, but pretty much any weapon from any figure from the A/E/C lines should fit in his fist hole.

Hasbro has really cut down on accessories. These days I scour the flea markets for weapons either from knockoffs or form other unrelated figures that might fit.

Thanks for the tip! I'll check AEC weapons online and see what I can find. Maybe I can buy a lot of them and give some of my other TFs better weapons. I've never been big on accessorizing, but to me, Springer is gonna look a little lacking without a gun and sword.

Wasn't there a TF website that specialized in parts and weapons? Can't remember the name...
