Ultra Magnus, Springer, Rodimus Prime and Arcee as humans Springer finds himself rescuing a young damsel in a castle from a fire breathing dragon. In this episode, both Springer and Predacon leader Razorclaw are caught up in a manifestation of Daniel Witwicky's nightmares. Following this episode Springer would get a starring role in "Nightmare Planet". In "Dweller in the Depths", we see Springer turned into an energy vampire by transorganic creatures made by the Quintessons. Springer would appear briefly in "Forever is a Long Time Coming", after which taking a hiatus from the series for several episodes, reappearing in "Fight or Flee". In "Dark Awakenings", he is among the crew that accompanies zombie Optimus Prime to avenge the "deaths" of Arcee, Rodimus, Ultra Magnus and Kup. Following the season's five part introduction, Springer would appear multiple times. Springer was also identified as Rodimus's first choice as heir to the Matrix in "Five Faces of Darkness". Rather Springer appeared usually with Ultra Magnus, Kup, Rodimus Prime, Blurr and or Arcee as he did in the film. However, in contrast to the series up to that point, the three Autobot Triple Changers were not featured together as a team. Springer was the first Autobot Triple Changer to be featured in the show, soon followed by Sandstorm and Broadside. Later, Springer develops an attachment to female Autobot Arcee. Springer is characterized as an affable tough guy, possibly making him a replacement for Ironhide, who was killed in The Transformers: The Movie. Springer made several appearances in the post-2006 comics, due to his being part of the movie cast, and he had a brief appearance in Generation 2. Sent into battle by Prowl, the Dinobots routed the main Decepticon forces while Springer lead the Autobot Survivors, Broadside, Inferno, Skids, and Carnivac to defeat Starscream. Transformers comic featured a story called "Divide and Conquer!" where Soundwave lead the bulk of the Decepticon forces on Earth against the Autobot Earthforce headquarters while Starscream attacked an oil tanker. In order to save Carnivac from the second Mayhem incarnation led by Bludgeon, the Survivors joined the Autobot Earthforce. The few survivors, along with Skids, formed the renegade group known as the Survivors, of which Springer was the unofficial commander, and he found himself in an uneasy partnership with Carnivac. The second clash occurred during the Time Wars, when the Wreckers and the Decepticon Mayhem Attack Squad teamed up and were jointly decimated in battle with Galvatron and Megatron. Īfterwards, the team was sent to take down and retrieve Galvatron the first clash was disastrous as the Wreckers found themselves battling him and Cyclonus and Scourge in a human city. Springer had serious doubts about his role as leader and these were only worsened when the undead Impactor attacked during the zombie uprising in Kalis, but he came out of the experience a much more dedicated and stronger leader. Springer accompanied Prime and Magnus to the Decepticon base to confront Megatron (who was in the throes of possession by Straxus), and was left counting the cost when Prime, Megatron and Magnus were all transported back to Earth. The Wreckers hunted him down, only to realize he was the real Optimus when he insisted on getting medical attention for another wounded Autobot first. The Wreckers were soon in action alongside Magnus again, when Optimus Prime arrived on Cybertron and the Decepticons spread misinformation that he was one of their spies. With his dying words, Impactor appointed Springer leader of the Wreckers. Operation: Volcano was aborted when the targeted Decepticons were recalled by Megatron, but a lone Decepticon named Macabre pressed on, attempting to assassinate Emirate Xaaron but killing Wrecker leader Impactor instead. comics, Springer was a member of Autobot Impactor's Wreckers team - added (with Broadside and Sandstorm) to the team to lend reinforcements for Operation: Volcano in the event that Ultra Magnus did not return in time from Earth. More laid back than many of his allies, he is nonetheless brave, loyal and always ready with a sharp quip in battle. So named for the massive leaping power in his legs, Springer is one of Rodimus Prime's inner circle. He is a green Autobot Triple Changer who can transform into both a Cybertronian car and a helicopter. Deluxe Vehicles, Triple Changer, Voyagers, WreckersĪerospatiale SA 365 Dauphin N2 Helicopter
