Description
Not much bashing but alot of repainting here.got my hands on the Legends Class RoTF Springer. He yelled powerglide to me so I went for it.
Based him flat black then went over him in Gore Red. Then drybrushed Bloodred on top. washed with a transred/black mix that make a very dark red. After that I used a light drybrush of Mithril Silver for wear.
Used a similar method for the grey sections. Used fortress grey as the first coat over the black then codex grey. I topped it off with a light brush of Black/silver combo.

Well Springer is kinda like an Ospry, though it seems to they got lazy(cough, CHEAP) thinking up his redesign. He was a triple changer(abit a bad looking one in his alt modes) and I've racked my head trying to think of a movie version of him(Ratchet got the Humvee already(H2) and Iron Hide the big ass pickup truck).

yeah I've noticed but why not adding another vehicle mode?
dosen't the GM bankruptcy affect the movie? some of the models does belong to them

Well if your to keep with not mass shifting and keeping "kibble" out of the movie bot's alt modes you might need a big SUV or military vehicle to hide the alternate alt form. the same goes with this form and yet not be too big to fit and yet still fit a robot in all this mess. Maybe Springer will be a SUV or some kind of vehicle and then do a quick change while in battle to gain flight(and thus the "high ground"), kinda like Bee's in the first(only he did so to be cooler, looking).
Yeah, maybe Ford will take up the reins in the third movie? The movie was made before the big effects hit them, thus the movie is OK. But haven't you noticed very little GM commercials tieing in with the Movie? That's the biggest effect so far that I can see.

And satisfying the toy company engineers trying to make a halfway decent toy work in real life(another constraint Bay's team had to deal with in the first movie).

Thanks man! It feel like they are just slapping G1 names on toys anymore and not thinking about the toys appearence in contrast to what character they actually have to give names to.

That and it seems like if it's not a character they can release 3 to 5 repaints of as separate characters it's just not worth their effort!

The inevitable custom.
It's sad that he only has elbows :< Otherwise i would've bought him in a blink of an eye.
I'm getting Bumblebee and Optimus, both Legends.

Yeah not much artic here but it was a fun movie project none the less. Prob not gonna get big into movie fig customs as I sense the paint wear is going to be imense since they seem to be smoosh formers this time. I had to crush all the bot parts into Sideways just make him look semi like a car again.
