AUTOBOT SPRINGER

For the fans out there that grew up with the Transformers G1 series, one would know that Springer was a triple-changer. This version of Springer however comes from a previous mold of Tomahawk that was first released in the Revenge of The Fallen: Hunt for The Decepticons series. Hence, Springer does not transform into a car.

In vehicle mode this attack helicopter packs a punch. There are a couple of missiles tucked under the wings of Springer & two of the main projectiles can be removed to be attached elsewhere.

The landing gears on the other hand are designed correctly, hence Springer sits firmly when landed.

After transformation, Springer looks like a skinny soldier with chicken feet. The sword that you see above cannot be attached to any part of the helicopter in vehicle mode unfortunately. The rotors can be folded & tucked at the back as not to obstruct articulation.

Here's a close up view of the head.

On the right arm, the rear rotor & fins of the copter becomes a weapon. You can either turn it into a blade, or a pair of metal pincers.

Springer is pretty flexible and will definitely be a cool addition to your TF Generations collection. The only thing that I don't quite like about this bot is that the sword cannot be kept as part of the vehicle mode. I'm sure there are a few of us out there that would have the tendency of loosing that weapon!
