That is awesome. It beats Warbot in my opinion! What did you make the feet from?

Well played, sir!

It's impressive what a difference six pieces of plastic make.

I would have gladly bought your version of Springer had I found it on a rack.

I do not like him. Rather, I love him.

Wow, that mod fixes everything! The proportions, the legs, it adds a third buggy mode (which looks very S7 styled)
I love it! It's everything you would want in this mold!

This is freaking genius! It looks so.... right. I just went and looked at mine (stock version) and comparing it to the pics, it's as if I got shorted half of his bits. Outstanding job making this look believable. Factory engineering in appearance is a challenging achievement, especially in a mod this substantial. Fantastic work! :APPLAUSE:

Wait till robotmel sees this.

Damn.

HOLY FLIPPIN' MOLEY!

That is an awesome take on everyones favourite triple changer!

Very well done sir
I love the buggy mode too, looks great.
I hope this gets front paged in the monthly Custom Round Up.

Who's feet did you use and great job very clean looking

I was so inspired by Doubledealer's Springer, I had to do one myself. I am really happy with the results and that it required no paint. I took a slightly different approach though. I thought I'd share what I did with some extra detail to make it easy for others if they want to copy it.

All the additional parts are from a TF movie 1 Wreckage (i had two of them).
Parts from Wreckage:
- 4 Wheels
- 2 feet
- two shoulder ball joints (for Springer's new ankles). fyi, these were hell to extract and it ended up breaking Wreckage :-(

.

The wheels turn wonderfully, are not wobbly, and seem to be very secure.
- To attach the wheels to the back I drilled tiny little holes in springer's original feet(lined up w/ the internal tube) and used regular screws that were pretty short (i think .5 in or less)
- To attach the wheels to the front, I put epoxy putty in the back of the missile launchers. Then I used the same screws to affix the wheels. Also, the missiles still work if you shorten the back of them!

Fantastic! Kudos to you both :APPLAUSE:

great results again! so tempted to do this myself, were it not for defender. i wonder if someone like headrobots or beelzeboss will pick up on this?

I don't suppose you could do the same thing to my Springer, would you? 8-}

Yeah, that's really badass. Wish Hasbro was smart enough to implement a remold to make something like that.

Impressive! The car mode looks good, not too intrusive. Is it possible to configure the legs in the original way with the wheels attached?
