“Let’s begin to flip this sucker down. Next what you’re gonna wanna do is to make use of this hinge panel, and begin to flip this sucker out. Next you wanna take the foot design, and begin to move it around like so. Next you’re gonna wanna…”
I think a much bigger factor in the price increase is the higher parts count. It's clear that the budget for this figure is higher; the transformation is more elaborate, completely hiding the robot face and covering the underside more thoroughly; the shoulders let you sit the pauldrons sideways; the back is completely remolded and has articulated parts; the biceps and thighs are now 2-part molds; etc. It's obvious Siege Springer was "as good as we can do with the budget." I do think they should have gone the extra mile and remolded the lower legs too.
I was not liking It but The fact the torso seems to work differently Is making me reconsider. I Have the old one in the comic color and I like It quite a lot except for the fact that It falls appart pretty easily as the entire upper body Is tangled on itself. Here the chest going down and the arms not falling appart does imply It Is More solid
@@leonake4194 I can confirm that the torso and legs on 86 Springer hold together MUCH more solidly than on Siege Springer. Nothing is going to accidentally come undone. That said, it's still a bit of a crap-shoot if the ankles on your copy will hold; my Siege Springer has never had an issue with his ankles while the ones on my 86 Springer are a little loose.
I can understand people saying "if you have Siege Springer, this isn't worth it", but my WFC Springer will be sold and replaced by this guy 🤩. I'm a sucker for that unfolding sword rotor
Yes, I'm really happy with his additional armaments. Especially that blade. It's way better than the current one which I really have difficulty keeping on the figure due to the way it just pops off.
I'm a sucker for Springer as he's one of my favorite character so I've pre-ordered this guy but, I'm keeping my Siege Springer as well. I also have Fans Toys, MMC and XTB Springer as my Masterpieces with XTB being my favorite.
I have the original and now I have this one, I can see they made a lot of improvements. The original actually broke because the chest piece was so hard to change from vehicle to robot
The same thing in my case. I’m so glad I didn’t over paid for the siege figure even though I was tempted. And I didn’t like the wreck and rule either. Although I would’ve bought it if it had the right autobot symbol. That blue symbol turned me off.
During your car alt-mode transformation, why did you leave the top pieces of the backpack angled up? They should fold down into the sides of the car, not be raised.
I’m glad they seemed to fix the QC issue with that flap on the arms or whatever it was that kept coming off when transforming him into helicopter mode. I have never owned a triple changer before and I’m going to get him but I have a question. Do you HAVE to go through all three modes to get to the 3rd? Like can u go from robot to helicopter without going through vehicle mode? And that question goes in the reverse with all modes.
This does concern me a little with future studio series 86 optimus prime and Soundwave. How different will they be to their counterparts to warrant a higher price?
I want to get this Springer, but something inside me tells that I'm fine with my Thrilling 30 Springer, which is, for all intents and purposes, one of the best Transformers figures ever made. And speaking of Thrilling 30, when are you going to review your Thrilling 30 Sky-Byte in preparation for the upcoming Sky-Byte in the new toyline next year?
I can't get a single tab to do anything it's supposed to. This doesn't snap together at all, just sort of stays there for a second and then pop out the moment you look at it.
Primevsprime I've gotten wrecker springer but his knees are so loose and the chest parts are loose please tell me they've fixed em on 86 cuz i might get 86 if they have
Hey PvP, how well does the chest stay attached to the rest of the torso? My WrecknRule Springer is allergic to staying together up there, and its a shame they didn't improve the ankles but if at least the chest is improved I'll consider picking up this guy haha
@@PrimeVsPrime That's awesome to hear. I agree that leader price for an edited voyager + accessory pack is a bit much but WrecknRule Springer was so disappointing it makes me want to pick up this one
Tbh I am so glad this figure is coming out, cause my wreckers springers clear plastic backpack, the tabs on it snapped off and now it’s not as stable, so I hope history doesn’t repeat itself when I get this new one
Hello! Awesome review! I was wondering if the legs still have the problem of disconnecting with the transformation joint in the knees when trying to articulate it, Does it still have that problem?
The QC issues on my legacy springer have me wanting to sell it, and this one looks like a fix for those issues. Are the QC issues fixed, like the weird leg movement thing, the skirt unhinging, and the entire chest part literally falling apart? If the issues are all fixed I would agree with the leader class name.
Hey primevsprime! Do u plan on preordering and reviewing the bailan roadmaster 07 optimus prime? Like luckycat it has some of the best detail and accuracy of an 07 optimus prime and could give the black apple optimus some competition, and it transforms! Not to mention its legends scale which is just black magic
@@PrimeVsPrime i heard it got delayed a bit because they had to rework the transformation or something like that but hopefully it releases soon! Just from the pics alone its an instant cop for me
Its cool that the rotors fold into a sword, but i wish they added maybe a pin joint or something lengthwise in one side of the sword so that it could rotate and make the rotors face the correct way
I got the Legacy one (from the Wreck 'n Rule Collection) and don't see enough to justify the increase to leader class pricing - legs really need a rework.
Haha I’m working unfortunately 😆 how about yourself? & all I know right now is that there will be a SS86 Prime but there’s no scoop on whether it’s brand new or a retool unfortunately! I’m sorry!
@@PrimeVsPrime Day off tomorrow. Been full on with work lately. Working in TV / Film is loooooooong! You’ve smashed it with your channel. Best TF toy reviewer. 10000% 👊🏽🔥
idk what yall are griping about i lke this version of springer over the seige version i had and you know i might just paint the inner leg green to match the helicopter mode and probably 3d print a back leg cover and some air intake pylons you know 😉
I just had a theory. Since Hasbro had made Legacy Transmetal 2 Megatron, with the other Predacons, and they just made TigerHawk, and then SilverBolt. Does that mean that they may make Transmetal Megatron in his T Rex form, Transmetal Cheetor, Transmetal 2 Cheetor, Transmetal 2 Dinobot, Transmetal Black Arachnia, QuickStrike, Transmetal Tranantulas, Optimal Optimus if I’m saying it correctly if not someone say it please, then Transmetal Rattrap, and then finally Depth Charge?
Probably on the long list of pieces they want to make, but they need new molds for most of them and they like to milk the old molds for 3 or 4 figures. I am hoping they get a new Octane and Broadside figure made. I was also thinking this Springer would have been awesome with a launcher from the movie and smaller missiles. I have it and love it.
Awesome video!!! This SS 86 Springer is a definite buy for me!!! I have WFC Springer, but this Springer is light-years better...I can live with the legs being re-used, but otherwise he looks like he jumped right out of season 3!!!
@@PrimeVsPrime I didn’t initially go for the megatron, soundwave and shockwave pack, and I have plans to eventually go for the autobots stand united set. But then takara gave me a cheaper mainframe option. At this point, fans will have an extra jazz.
In my opinion these false leader classes should be recategorized as something new like Voyager Plus or something if they're really that desperate to get the extra money without increasing the figure's size. It would at least be far less controversial that way
That sounds cool and fitting. It Also would help better shape the hype of the fans. That way we would know what type of figure to expect instead of wondering wether itll be a large figure or an involved voyager
For one, I appreciate that in your review, you've actually posed Springer's pauldrons to its proper position unlike some reviewers who stated that they would correct their look (cough - ToysrRuss - cough) in their review but didn't. I mean that is one of its new features!!! 😔 Also, thank you for being honest and in detailing the differences and the overall value of this new Springer.
Atfer all the effort I made stripping the battle damage paint and repainting my Siege Springer figure (the yellow paint in particular was a headache) I just can't justifying spending the asking price on this new figure. Siege is close enough.
Not being able to get a Siege Springer, I'm left with little choice if I want this "bad boy" in my collection. I'm sure DNA or noneff can develop some mods for the legs and such.
First off, I can’t see many differences between this and the Siege version outside of different articulation, is there anything else? Second this looks alright to me, not too crazy about this. Hope that many people enjoy having a more movie accurate version of Springer now.
Is it sad to say that I'd rather wait for DNA design to make an upgrade kit (that would probably come with waaaaaay more accessories & proper movie accurate parts) than to re-buy another Springer.😮💨
@@PrimeVsPrimeI had it when I was a kid, and it looks good so when u got time give it a shot. But I gotta rebuy mine since it broke when I used to play with it.
Everyone is upset about the price increase, but to me, the real difference will be build quality This design might have been sold at a steal of a price before but in-hand it was a mess. The mold was too ambitious for the price point’s build quality- mine had wacky tolerances that prevented it from holding together, with stress marks showing up as well. Basically it was a time bomb The new parts and paint look good but if it actually were just executed better with tighter fit, that would be the biggest improvement and well worth the price point. Anyone that has the original (or Wreckers version) can attest to how scary the chest connections are Don’t think of it as a Voyager being priced up to a Leadwr Think of it as a Leader that sold as a Voyager by cutting cost on fitment and crappy plastic Oh, and ditching the stupid battle damage is big too
This still has the same engineering & all the same issues when it comes to the leg design (with the exception of the knees detaching) - this figure definitely is an improvement visually but at its core it’s still the same as the voyager priced released
received my springer and lots of the joints are either too loose or too tight, the tabs between the legs have already got stress marks and i cannot tab the shoulders in at all
Did you see the APC Toys TFP Bulkhead? I know you're thinking "they did one already", but that was a different company called AC.... Yeah. But the APC toys one was shown off recently
Also… Love the channel and this review. Can’t wait for him to ship! Trying to complete the entire 86 line with the exception of the battle damaged stuff.

@@PrimeVsPrime No problem!
Why is it called a catapult missile?
In the movie, the machine that shoots the missile is a catapult. They fire them at Devastator
@@PrimeVsPrime Got it. Thanks. Also speaking of Devastator when do you think they'll release him?
received my springer and lots of the joints are either too loose or too tight, the tabs between the legs have already got stress marks and i cannot tab the shoulders in at all
"Believe it or not, this is the fun part.”
I have been waiting for Springer and here he is!
He is really cool! Just overpriced
Did you see the APC Toys TFP Bulkhead? I know you're thinking "they did one already", but that was a different company called AC.... Yeah. But the APC toys one was shown off recently
Yes mate I did! It looked awesome! What did you think?!🤩
Also… Love the channel and this review. Can’t wait for him to ship! Trying to complete the entire 86 line with the exception of the battle damaged stuff.
Thanks so much for your kind words mate! 🙏🏻
@@PrimeVsPrimeBig love man! So cool to have other UK TF fans. Got to meet one day! 👊🏽
I’m collecting transformers for the first time since I was a kid , I want to be consistent with my pick ups , what’s the best toy line for transformers ?? Is it studio series , Legacy, yolopark ?? If y’all can comment I would appreciate it
Isn't the new rotator sword just the sword from thrilling 30s?
I honestly couldn’t tell you, I don’t own that unfortunately
Fair! Looking at it I think there might be some upgrades to that too but I'm several thousand miles away right now, lol.
And I'm looking at that hammer and thinking, wreck'n'ruin? A man can dream 😅
Already pre-ordered. Since I started collecting after the Siege release, it was a no-brainer.
Also, is it me or there's a big crack on the top of the upper legs?
Does hasbro send this to you?
They do not. All my opinions on the figure are my own 👌🏻
I dont know if its just me but this has to be one of the best studio series 86 figures
It’s a very nice looking figure but it’s a little too expensive I think
Yeah true@@PrimeVsPrime
