Yeah...I said the same thing about Optimus when he came out. Essentially we're getting some budget masterpiece figures in this line...at least in bot mode.
@@emperorpayton I love Transformers. I just don't review them cause I can't put a unique spin on them. Lego Rewind works because no one's ever done a series like that before.
Just transformed mine back to robot mode for the first time after spending days in his chopper form and I was glad to see I wasn't the only one annoyed with the torso and trying to align those points up, it just never feels right add to the back pack not locking securely and the front chest panel could peg in much better than it does.
I had a dream last night about this guy arriving in the mail! But when I took it out of the package I suddenly also had a thrilling 30 springer(which ive never owned) and it was as large as mp-10 for some reason....yeah...
So I just today restarted my collection after losing literal years of collecting... But I came across your channel doing research and I've been watching the transformers videos for hours now. Your reviews are very entertaining and informative. Keep up the great work.
I absolutely agree that this is one of the best Siege figures ever done! I also love the Generations Springer, he's a great toy, but the new one looks a lot more like the G1 version, but which ever you prefer, both toys are really cool, and I don't mind the weathering in these figures, gives them character, great review, Paul!
Got my hands on one from my local wal-mart, and it's another of the more impressive figures from the line so far. I was expecting this figure to have CQ issues considering the more complex engineering, and I was happily surprised by a figure that locks solidly in any mode. I do have to say, after getting this one, there are some figures in siege that seem rather bland in comparison now. If Springer is an example of what hasbro can accomplish, some of the other figures in the line feel tragically under served... Starscream being the first that comes to mind for me. And dammit hasbro...don't you dare put some wheeljack arty goodness on the packaging and not follow thru with a figure! We want a wheeljack!
Don't have it yet, but just from seeing it, my only grief is the tires in the helicopter mode. That's nitpicking though. I'm still keeping the Thrilling 30 one too - 1) I love Springer, and 2) it's still one of the best Hasbro figs in the last decade. It's a more fun transformation too.
I just wish they would make these in the same numbers as they do their other TF lines. All the stores around me are constantly sold out. I talked to a dept manager, and they told me they usually just get a single case of voyagers per wave, and if they're lucky they get 2 cases of deluxes. I was lucky enough to snatch up a Springer, and I had a death grip on that baby til I rang out at the registers lol.
To all fellow target shoppers let down by the notorious date of 7/28 sales-date on the register, you are not alone. Thankfully, walmart doesnt give a flying fuck about “official sales-dates” and actually sells what they put out in the shelves. Try your luck at walmart instead.
Car mode stability beats the Generations mold. But the rest I still gotta give to Generations that thing is still absolutely amazing. Siege is good but the shoulders in person seem a bit wonkey and the green I feel is too bright almost a toxic green.
I just got him today, and agree, he's replacing my Thrilling 30 Springer. He just feels better, and, IMO, looks better. He's also not as floppy as Thrilling 30 Springer. My copy of Thrilling 30 has loose heel spurs, and is a bit lanky. Siege Springer just feels solid, and can hold better poses as well. I'd say the only thing that I like better about Thrilling 30 Springer is his propeller sword. It's just a neat bit of engineering.
Plus, Siege Springer looks so good next to Siege Ultra Magnus, Generations Arcee, Takara TR Kup, and PoTP leader Hot Rod. They just look so good together. Though I'm expecting we'll get new versions of Hot Rod, Kup, and Arcee before the War for Cybertron trillogy ends. Especially with the announcement of the new Unicron. Personally I'd like a Siege leader Hot Rod be like Siege Ultra Magnus. Where he can wear his back portion of his vehicle as armor to make Hot Rod into Rodimus, but have the better scaling. Where Hot Rod is a small Voyage, and Rodimus becomes a normal to large Voyager.
andrewjacksonbr id say wow takara. The tf mainline toys have only been getting good since studio series and siege. Both of which bears the badge of takara which no other mainline toys sold in US stores has ever had before.
Thank you for this video. I could not get his arms in place. I found him today 7-8-19. Surprised to find him since I went to Wal-Mart on Saturday and never seen him nor wave 2 (I never seen any battle masters at there, my local Target has Battle masters wave 1). I really like him, but not his arm pegs or tabs and the rotor.
great review. ill be getting him to go a long with my optimus prime and starscream. im still trying to get my hands on soundwave,megatron and ultra magnus
I love this figure! My only issue, and it could either be my copy, or I did it wrong, but when in the car mode in order to get the front of his foot to fill the gaps next to the window and tab in correctly, his legs are bent upwards so that from the view at 4:43 on mine, it isn't straight. Not that you can really tell. It just doesn't roll.
Could be a few things. Might be a strategy to get a big expensive new toy out in time for Christmas toy sales. Could also be that preorder numbers exceeded initial expectations and they have to go back to manufacturing.
Westley Charles Cathcart Dixon Junior to fix flaws maybe. But then again mpm ironhide was heavily delayed and yet he’s still.......ooof, we dont talk about him.
Optibotimus,wich is better:studio series bummble Optimus Prime,studio series shatter,studio series jetfire,studio series stinger,studio series grimlock.Wich is better
I think the battle damage works for springer seeing as he was not only a wrecker but one of the leaders too
This is basically a mini masterpiece figure.
Yeah...I said the same thing about Optimus when he came out. Essentially we're getting some budget masterpiece figures in this line...at least in bot mode.
Wow nick I thought you only collected LEGO based on your videos. I had no idea you were a transformers fan.
@@emperorpayton I love Transformers. I just don't review them cause I can't put a unique spin on them. Lego Rewind works because no one's ever done a series like that before.
@@NickonPlanetRipple i see
Springer from the 30th anniversary will always be my Springer since he matches Springer from Last Stand, but I will see how this one does.
Me too, it's a fantastic design. I had to get it and all five repaints.
"Absolutely" - Paul's favorite adverb.
I wanted a voyager Autobot just for display reasons (other than Optimus obviously) I think this is it
Just transformed mine back to robot mode for the first time after spending days in his chopper form and I was glad to see I wasn't the only one annoyed with the torso and trying to align those points up, it just never feels right add to the back pack not locking securely and the front chest panel could peg in much better than it does.
I’ve got better things to do like watching this video tonight than die.
@Live Ps4 Gaming it's a reference
I feel like we're getting a wheeljack because of that picture
I see Nightbeat is in the comments.
we will now
Earthrise is calling
Siege line just proves how good the 80's were. And how G1Transformers isnt just a phenomena but the definitive Transformers line.
Wow. That transformation was a lot more involved than I was expecting, but it’s totally worth it.
I had a dream last night about this guy arriving in the mail! But when I took it out of the package I suddenly also had a thrilling 30 springer(which ive never owned) and it was as large as mp-10 for some reason....yeah...
At that point I was like" wait, what?" And then I woke up :')
6 hours of fiddle later, got him into his copter.....and that is where he is remaining because of that lol

yeah i saw my local store putting out the leader class optimus and shockwave and they were literally 2 to a box and they had 2 boxes.
@@Posit_Zero_Blue i only just got back into transformers so imagine how i feel looking at this 😢
'It is what it is' - didn't realize how much influence emgo has over optibotimus
He had zero influence. It's a common saying. He didn't create it
Dan's GoPro Adventures yea, i’ve said that long before i knew emgo existed
@@dankmemer2774 no one asked u m8
Dan's GoPro Adventures youtube’s comment section is a free for all....m8
Imagine in five faces of darkness we got Springus prime when hotrod was in the matrix also please rewatch all of s3 g1 it is so funny
Wow the transformation instructions suddenly dropped major levels in this vid. You usually get them right on.
Just got mine today. After fiddling with it, finally got it into all three modes. Can’t wait to see your Astrotain review.
Just got siege springer 👍👍 love all 3 modes
We get SPRINGER,but we did not get the hot rod or bumblebee siege version,great...
Now so 86 is a thing
I still prefer the T30 version... but this doesn't look too bad
Totally. The Generations Springer is excellent in all three modes. I had to buy all six versions of it.
I loved when I finally found him. Just a excellent figure!
To all fellow target shoppers let down by the notorious date of 7/28 sales-date on the register, you are not alone. Thankfully, walmart doesnt give a flying fuck about “official sales-dates” and actually sells what they put out in the shelves. Try your luck at walmart instead.
I would have waited an eternity for this!
Well, not an eternity. But still. I was looking forward to this one. :P
You made the torso transformation look too difficult. The armature that attaches the cockpit piece to the lower body has locking points for robot mode
I'll stick with genarations Springer because the siege helicopter mode is just the car witha thin backsside and propeller.
Car mode stability beats the Generations mold. But the rest I still gotta give to Generations that thing is still absolutely amazing. Siege is good but the shoulders in person seem a bit wonkey and the green I feel is too bright almost a toxic green.
He’s a cool toy, in today’s world he fits right in with Studio series and Kingdom movie characters.
That's it I'm getting this by next week at my local shop soon.
You need to twist the leg tabs like bending the knee, not yanking them straight apart. They separate easily that way

They need to do Blaster!!! Blaster always ignored and forgotten?!!
His car mode beats all 3 rd party and masterpiece builds in proportion. Wow Hasbro
andrewjacksonbr id say wow takara. The tf mainline toys have only been getting good since studio series and siege. Both of which bears the badge of takara which no other mainline toys sold in US stores has ever had before.
Dank Memer Thank the matrix

I like his car mode.
cant wait for deluxe sandstorm
Good review, might pick up this figure, (once my Walmart is re stocked) seems really cool.
Is it me or does he look kind of like a green 1989 Batmobile in his car mode!
great review. ill be getting him to go a long with my optimus prime and starscream. im still trying to get my hands on soundwave,megatron and ultra magnus

When I heard Paul talk about the Astro train, I felt bad cuz it's so small.
Lol i wish the leader class astrotrain was large, still amazing though
Siege line is the best
You can add the generations weapons to the siege springer to make him awesome.
I always get confused when working with this guy. You run into the same problems as I do lol 🙌🏽
Everything on cybertron is bigger than earth mode. I notice that.
Nice figure. Now get rid of the silver paint.
Yeah don’t go to target for these til basically the end of July their street dated in the system til July 28th... great review though Paul!!
I find it interesting how both the siege and the thrilling 30 springer weigh about the same but t30 is much taller. Then again his body is more slim
great review.
I wonder... will they also make sandstorm???
Why Wheeljack Toy is not here into TF S.I.E.G.E?
It's an awesome looking figure! My only criticism is that on the vehicle modes, the canopy windshield looks too small. What do u think?
Anyone know why Omega Supreme preorder fulfillment date has moved from early August to late October ?

I for the love of me cant get the helicopter mode right no matter what I can't get the arms right everytime I plug them in they pop out immediately
what you call finnicky I call it challenging
I love it, an absolute must have
Astrotrain, large? seriously? He wont be any bigger and magnus...
great review thank you !!
On my springer the arms won’t tab in the back I don’t know why
Better then that pain in the ass generations version
or the Fansproject one.
They Just both tryed to hard to make it look fully clean
When it's the simple it is the better
Yep
Ye
I prefer springer as a car
Arcee's boyfriend is back
siege is g1 but cooler - thew adams
Fam all i wan is a siege hot rod
I can't decide whether to get generations or siege Springer
My favorite transformers besides Ironhide
My swords are a bit bent any tips to make it straight?
Use hot water or a hairdryer to make the plastic softer, then straighten it out.
He needs a Wreckers symbol on his chest.
Optibotimus,wich is better:studio series bummble Optimus Prime,studio series shatter,studio series jetfire,studio series stinger,studio series grimlock.Wich is better
THANKS TO U OPTIBOTIMUS U INSPIRED ME TO BUT IRONHIDE
Thomas Ortiz hah you said but lolololololololooooooolllllll
The Ankle Joints On My Springer Are So Loose They Ruin The Figure For Me....
Same as mine. I brushed his ankle with my flat clear tin. Spray in the cup then used brush
I like this more than the ss version
this guy sounds like Dsp
Do a mpm jazz review
Man I'm having a hard time transforming him back to robot
Human alliance mudflap and skids
I call mine "Jerry"
Nobody:
The intro: TRANSFORMERS!!!!
I want it
Nice
🤦
Don’t like your reviews I love them
13hours late
Late for what?
optibotimus I put how late I am! It’s a hobby.
@@optibotimus i want buy siege voyager class autobot Springer in online bro
Siege Springer is WAY better than anorexic Springer, I mean thrilling 30 Springer which was 💯%💩.
The Generations Springer is widely regarded as one of the best mainline figures, but if you prefer Siege Springer, cool !
This did not help at all
👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍👍

Then don't watch. Jesus.
He takes his time and gives plenty of details over his reviews. And he transforms them back and forth. Very few reviewers do that.
