Oh man, a very cool remold/repaint of Springer! Get yours at TFsource! tfsource.com/ge... Be sure to check out TFsource for ALL of your TF needs! www.tfsource.co...
This could be one of my absolute favorite Transformers toys EVER, at least by the look of it. It's freaking awesome! Haven't bought a toy in ages but this could very well be the one that jumpstarts my collecting again. Thanks for an awesome review!

I friggin' love the Springer mold. His knee spikes and foldaway feet allow him to pose on one knee, as very few TF's can do convincingly, and if you peg his sword underneath the barrels of his gun, the handle gives him a second handle on the gun so he can hold it like a rifle with a really huge bayonet.

It's great that they've FINALLY made an alternate figure/character that isn't just a previous character with a new head, a different paint job and different weapons. Seeing the same mold with a vastly different look in all modes to the original is brilliant. As to the big wheels, well, that's just how a dune buggy is. If the wheels were any smaller it wouldn't get any traction on the sand, especially with how small the front wheels are in comparison.

I am amazed at how well this mold works for Sandstorm. It almost seems to work better for him than for Springer. They seem to have fixed a lot of Springers tolerance issues. This seem to lock in place much better on Sandstorm than Springer somehow. Amazing. I'll definitely be getting this.

It takes a little working to get the car mode on Springer to peg in right, but with a bit of working, it does come together. The main problem I had was the butt flap. It didn't seem to want to peg in securely, but with a little working, it finally came together.

Also, the subtle differences in the transformation from Springers' warrant a purchase for me. Great review as always Peaugh! Good stuff!

I figured out a pegging thing with Sandstorm last night (while my ambien was kicking in, so I'm surprised I remember it). In dune buggy mode I figured out that the rear wheel hubs click in much stronger than I thought before. I hadn't been pushing hard enough previously. The biggest issue I've had is Blitzwing's shoulder tabs don't really tab in tightly, they come out the second I move his arm.

I agree. Springer's robot mode is amazing, but Sandstorm just seems to be an overall better use of this mold, as Springer's vehicle modes are both flawed. If he'd come out at the same time as Springer, I would never have gotten Springer.

I like Springer's car mode (looks like the Batmobile in my book)...but I'm feelin' Sandstorm's dune buggy a LOT more. Certainly looks more badass...and if I could get another copy of him, it COULD serve as a base for a Classics-era G1ish Barricade...yes. Between the VTOL and the helicopter, it's a toss-up...I like'em both pretty equally...and the VTOL definitely trumps that silly-looking Apache helicopter that the G1 Sandstorm was.
