Transformers Generations Springer by Baltmatrix
This figure is great. While there are one or two tiny little things that bug me I have not hesitation in saying that you need to have this one in your collection.

Re: Transformers Generations Springer by Baltmatrix
See I knew Springer was going to be real good. If I only buy a couple of figures this year he is going to be one of them.
Thank you hasbro for this awesome figure while we all wait for our beloved movie figure line.

With something like this, there should be no excuse for the poor engineering in Blitzwing.
I am at a loss for words on how amazing this is. This blows Defender clear out of the water, in fact, there's no contest. He will make a fine addition to the collection.

Just because you have a youtube review channel doesn't make you special.
I look forward to attending a Botcon soon only to settle matters with several idiots in person (yes this is a threat).

I actually sold my Defender because of this one. I'm glad I did. Now, don't get me wrong, the Warbot Defender is a great figure, but I just figured I would rather have Hasbro's Springer. And man, Hasbro surprised me on this one. I figured Blitzwing would be the optimal choice between the two, but I was caught off guard this go around.
Now, maybe FP should tackle Blitzwing...

Most people outside the fandom watched the movies only for explosions, CGI effects, and sexy chicks. Toy sales (specifically DOTM's) say otherwise.
If, and I say if, there was to be a poll here asking users if they liked the movies, I'd guess that maybe %45-65 would say they enjoyed the movies.
But hey, we all got our starts from somewhere. Armada, back when it first debuted, is what got me hooked, and there are those who scoff at the "Pokeformers".

There is a very large chance I may take this toy to bed with me the first day I get him
But am I the only one who wants to take the headlights off? The car just looks too much like a buggy with them to me
Whoever designed this figure needs knighting, made king and then given all the money and resources they need to make more!

Armada? Sorry to say that was the weakest transformers toy line ever but like you said we all have to get our start from somewhere. And the thing about colorful figures like the Armada line is that you can tell its a kids toy from a mile away. But not the movie line. The movie line is truely robots in disguse looking like real 1/30 scale model cars and other vehicals. Plus their robot forms look like robotic aliens. I like alien stuff.

Eagleblaster is actually correct. Toy sales doubled, maybe tripled, in 2007 thanks to The movie. I remember seeing a chart about it somewhere, I'll try and find it.
EDIT: I found it and I was wrong. They actually quadrupled. I'm so saving that image to use every time someone says that the movies ruined Transformers forever. DOTM Sales did drop to the levels of TFTM though, but I wouldn't say they sucked.
Many long term fans, however, dislike the movie figure aesthetic as it rails again the clean lines designs that harken all the way back to G1.
Movie fans will continue to love the movie lines, don't be hating on them for wanting more.

Well, we did all love Defender until this came out... Fansproject would be far wiser to make molds Hasbro isn't, hence awesome Stunticons and Combaticons.
Springer is clearly the superior of the two, but I already preordered both and see no reason to back off from that. I've wanted a new Blitzwing long enough I can bear it not having great alt modes. Springer, on the other hand, will cleave away my other three Springers. Better sell those bastards quick.

Re: Transformers Generations Springer by Baltmatrix
I don't get it. Blitzwings tank mode looks fantastic (hey balt, I don't know about you, but my animated blitzwing doesn't stay pegged together at all, I don't see how you can say that that's better than this). Anyways. Blitzwings jet mode has been transformed better than you've been able to... But in your review springers car mode doesn't stay together either... But you attribute that to you probably doing something wrong.. Why doesn't blitzwing the shadow of the doubt that springer gets, they both have seemingly the same problem with one of their modes, I smell favoritism!! Lol.
Thank you for sharing your reviews.. I really wish you still had some of your old reviews up on YouTube.. Like alternators and masterpiece starscream etc. there's something about your voice that brings me back to a time when transformers were starting to take a big step forward in design.
Anyways.. I can't wait to get BOTH blitz and springer. I LOVED springer when I first saw the movie when I was a child. I couldn't care less about blitzwings rotating faces. I wasn't a big fan of it in animated.. And I'm not terribly excited about it on this toy. While there is a G1 face.. I wish they'd spent a little more effort trying to make that face as perfect as possible rather than focusing on two other faces and a gimmick.

After these two... I think hasbro/takara needs to take another stab at astrotrain and octane. Neither of those figures were all that wonderful.. But with technology these days, and upping them to voyager scale, I think they'd turn out much better.

Re: Transformers Generations Springer by Baltmatrix
Only reason I don't rush to order this toy is that I'm holding out to see what sort of decepticon repaint we might get. That and not having the cash, obviously, but y'know...
Well, at the time it was already apparent that an even better job could be done at a larger size. Springer just makes it undeniable. I'm all for a new Octane, though, and it isn't as if Astrotrain would be a bad idea either.

Springers car/buggy mode would look awesome in black, get a sort of Tumbler vibe from it.
