Fansproject Warbot Defender (Springer) 

Transforming this guy seems as complicated as solving the Rubic's Cube! Anyways, I'm really impressed by the transformation. All 3 forms look good, especially the armored vehicle and robot mode. But not only that, it doesn't "cheat" by using long panels to cover up whole sides of the vehicle. A lot of the transforming is achieved through bending and folding the arms and legs into different shapes, which is amazing.

This mold is awesome! From car to helicopter to robot, and awesome all the way. It's really thought out, and much better than some official transformers. The colours are nice and the weapon storage is a nice touch.

That robot mode looks awesome with the handguns!

is that "jerry" springer?

actually a sheath is for swords exclusively. For guns it's a holster. The terms aren't technically interchangable.

Holster. Guns go into a holster. Swords are sheathed.

11:04 Phew...I was worried that he wouldn't have a propeller. I should've remembered that Fansproject would never do that.

This piece is really not a toy but a jewel. Neverthless trasforming it is a very big issue even for the most practiced. I'm referring to the (perfect) bending of its arms, especially for the copter mode; still now it's a match for me due to the high level of the several joints.

The getting to helicopter mode just looks like a pain in the REAR to do!! Great review =)

Very lovely job on the die cast. Why couldn't titanium line (you know, from the MASSIVE and WEALTHY company with decades of toy making experience under it's belt) do it this well?

That version of springer is actually kind a cool looking! Awesome review!!!

Great review. Glad to know I'm not the only one who has to review the Truck to Chopper mode instructions, the arms get me every time so far, but I'm getting close. Now we need FP to make a Roadbuster!

Awesome review. This guy is perfect for a classics shelf.

It does rather look like the APC from Aliens turning into the Dropship from Aliens- which is a TF I would love to see. Transformers: Hollywood, anyone? Besides, I love peaugh's reviews- showing the transformation, problems and niggles and all.

Farrell, Just tell him that Peaugh meant Richard.

I'm sorry, peaugh, but the proper term for where the figures pistols go is holster. I'm not sure if I saw right, but I think I saw something on the underside of the figures' feet that would flip out. I don't know though.

Great review Peaugh. I just got mine. 2 of them actually had a SECOND bag inside with an extra sword and set of guns...

energon bulkhead is a springer homage

that looks phenomenal! can't wait to sign up for BBTS and get this bad boy, awesome review man. you rock!

so excited to get this guy next week!

sorry i got that wrong, apparently it also applies for rifle holders and other large armaments, but pistols it seems have holsters instead

just for the record: the energon hotshot is in fact the cybertron defense hotshot from tf cybertron

this vid is so long but so cool...i have wathched it a million times!

dude your totally right thanks for pointin that out

this transformation is INTENSE!

if i get him, he is going to go somewhere. every transformer i get tries to kill me when im sleeping.....

What!? Someone got something before peaugh!? Good work Vangelus!

i like that this video isnt so popular i might be able to get it if i save up money

He looks like a great figure, but I can't justify the $80 price tag. If I could get him for half, maybe.

I'm seeing a video, but I keep hearing "hey, it's easy" over and over again it must be a youtube glitch just a glitch hey, it's easy HEY, IT'S EASY >.O

he looks like he should be in the new war for cybertron game

For those who wish to skip the Vangelus thing: 1:21

I would love to have one but I just can't afford it.

he looks like i can display him with my animated figures

now all we need is a kup n blurr and a lot of free time to use them!

it's a big pain in the butt to transform into helicopter mode.

His arms are a bit like Alternators Sunstreaker's arms, I have Sunstreaker and this guy (Warbot Defender, Technically Springer) and they're arms are quite confusing.

Pretty cool custom transformer from FansProject, but definitely not worth $90. The chopper mode looks great, but the car mode doesn't pay homage to the G1 version. FansProject still makes top quality products nonetheless.

I cancelled my pre-order on this one, and I'm glad I did. Seeing the final product now confirms my concerns about the figure, it's not really like Springer, I prefer the old original one. While the chopper mode is nice, the car and bot mode ain't my cup of tee...

Sheath = holster for a gun.

To those who want to skip the Vange1us thing: 1:22

He is worth every penny he is amazing. Enjoy him Peaugh I have to wait til the 9th of April thats when Kapow gets him in. will definatly be getting an Autobot symbal from Repro Labels make him more G1

This vid never starts at the beginning, for me. Hunh. Anyway, Vangelus' review got me sold on this, and a good Peaugh review makes me feel better about that. Uncommonly long, though. Oh, good, I have plenty of Reprolabel's faction symbols to spare.

i am so stupid the rodimus armour isn`t even out yet

I bet that Vabge1us meathooks his sword before you do

@adamomusic this is from no series, it's a fan made figure

i want this so bad...

@bleedman01 Thanks for the suggestion , I need to start doing that.

Thats rather good looking toy.

at 19:21 you show the botcon one and you say Energon and that one was form Cybertron

@peaugh Ha, somehow it didn't show up when I first watched your review and I had annotations on too. My apologies to you Peaugh!

i just order me one. thanks Peaugh and SEANxLONG

im in england . . im getting mint tommo hopefully

fansproject is awesome. forget hasbro! theyre cheap! but they finally came out w/ a dinobot combiner!

Nice review by the way. Can't wait to get Springer and add him to my G1 universe (Anything part of the Generation 1 continuity. G1, Henkei, Universe and Alternity) shelf.

-shock fork for his shock dinner lol

@ForgetaboutFreeman I believe the likeness doesn't make any difference

It's Beutiful, great reveiw as always Peaugh!

yours actually rolls better then Vangelus's lol I couldn't see his Defender roll as well.,

15:20 Defender extra gimmick; Can dodge bullets Matrix-style :3

You mention getting repro labels for characters such as this and device label Soundwave to make them more g1 accurate. Where does one acquire such decals?

I bet that it's a springer

Totally amazing!!!

HAHAHA you totally called Vange1us out XD

@peaugh The subtitles said it, you'll have to ask them

That's awesome! The chopper blades are too small for such a large helicoptor, but despite that, I really love this thing! How much does this cost?

@Sportimus Eeep, $79+shipping...

Indeed.

love the review !!!

damn, this looks awesome...is there anywhere other than BBT i can get one from? I had a rather bad experience with them and i'd liek to avoid them if i can

@peaugh No problem I explained it to my parents after their tantrum and they totally understand. They've just banned my little brother from youtube now, which they probably should have done a long time ago, considering what some other people put up here...

he looks so awsome, how much was he?

@Farrellbrothers1 what do you mean by again

I like him. Too bad the only way I'll get him is in my dreams! :)

You know the new Ratchet and Ironhide that they are making that you can preorder on TFsource do you know what scale they are in?

hot rod is out his name from them is protector

= EPICLY AWESOME

Soon as I get the cash, HE'S MINE!!!

why u cappin on vangeluses weight

Hay peaugh are the guns di-cast or are they just made of plastic.

how did you get the target master gun to fit on rodimus? i just bought that gun on ebay after watching this video and i cant get him to fit, hole's too small. i dont wanna grind down the peg, it was a bit expensive...

When will you announce the Axor contest winner?

@Farrellbrothers1 oh my god, that sucks.

I gotta question, peaugh. How did you get Henkei Hot Rod hold Firebolt? Mine can't do that.

great review by the way any idea when the fansproject protector armor (rodimus Prime) will come out?

Dude, my little brother is in to transformers as well. He watched this review and asked me, with my parents in the room, what a "dick" was. Please, try to keep your reviews clean. I don't want to blamed for anything like that again. On another note, this review was way better than Vange1us'.

@GWolfV2 I need to know how to get a set xD

hmm max id pay is £35 for it

YOU'RE JUST JEALOUS OF VANGELUS SUBTITLES'

Awesome Review, I got him finally just before he sold out. Question, do you know where I can get that Ultra Magnus? Thanks.

when are you gonna get the new blastoff and Swindle set for the energon bruticus set from fansproject? sryy my spelling sucks.

just for the record: there was supposed to have an evil version of this figure was it released?

You know, Vangelus might come after you for the dick comment, but I say "Bring him on!"

Hey you should start reviewing bioshock 2 toys. There awesome!!!

shock fork? really?

@Farrellbrothers1 I'm with you kids might be watching this vid but its only a little joke. I'm having trouble deciding you showed a more envolved trasformation but Vanje1us did vehicle comparisons so its a draw

I hate that yellow!!! Great review man.

@Farrellbrothers1 if you don't like Peaugh use of words then don't watch.

Good Review Man!, This Guy is So Sweet Looking!, I Wish I Had The Money Too Get Him.....
