Thanks to 2005 Boards member Jtprime17 for giving us the heads up of some new Takara Tomy Siege Springer, Red Alert, Smashdown & Sports Car Patrol Official Images.
The new images surfaced via Takara Tomy Mall and give us a clear look and new angles of these excellent new Siege molds. As usual, there are no discernible differences with their Hasbro counterparts.
- SG-29 Smashdown – ¥972 ($8.70) – Release date: September 2019. The small but cool Battlemaster Minotaur is shown in all his modes and with his blast effect. He is also seen used as a weapon with the bigger figures here.
- SG-30 Sports Car Patrol – ¥1,944 ($17.84) – Release date: September 2019. Blackjack and Hyperdrive in both modes and combined gun mode.
- SG-31 Red Alert – ¥3,780 ($33.82)- Release date: September 2019. Here we can spot a small difference compared to his first renders. His siren lights are black instead of red.
- SG-32 Springer – ¥5,940 ($53.15) – Release date: September 2019. Themost complete set of images with clear shots of the robot mode from all angles and his car and helicopter modes. We can spot all the battle damage deco on this mold.

It brings out the details. I've seen people take it off, and they don't look nearly as dynamic. I'll admit it looks overdone on say, Soundwave, but on everyone else I quite like it.

Springer has always been one of my faves. But.. why the HELL do we have to have the battle damage on him? Ugh…

Ordered Red Alert, Springer, and the MicroMasters.

Springer is a must-have! He homages both the G1 cartoon & the original toy. As much as I enjoy the CHUG version, I always prefer G1 designs over IDW.

Ooh I would gladly take a new Spinister! And it'd give me an excuse to buy this mold, since I already have T30 Springer.

so does this mean Japan is getting these first?

Springer looks amazing. I love the paint deco on all the Voyagers to be honest, but it might look best on him. Hasbro is killing it on this line
And killing my wallet thusly

Not new, but canonical head*

A bit bummed they dropped the silver-backed Autobot logo for Springer. Red tempos often look bad on green plastic because the material is slightly transparent, and green doesn't mix well with red (it's one way to make gray! Color theory y'all!). The red logo looks sickly there.

Still like Springer. Will most def get him and replace the T30 one.

Springer looks so great. Much better than the thrilling 30 one.
As usual the battle damage doesn’t really do much for me but to be honest once I see these things in hand it’s really not that big of a deal.

Springer has me sprung.
I'm so goofily excited for that figure.

Just ordered the micro/action masters only. I'm not wasting money on the deluxe molds; great sculpts but fugly paint (like most of this line).
If only Hasblo would omit the sloppy "battle damage". As is, Springer is an easy pass.

Springer has be added to my prechristmas wish list

I think this is a hand painted sample:

Springer looks AMAZING. Also, they could easily remove the wheels and slightly alter the chest and shoulders to get a decent Spinister out of him too!

I\'m down for a second great votager Springer!!
Windsweeper II
Bummer. The battle damage looks more extensive on Springer than it seemed at first.
It's a real shame they got it in their heads to use that weird gimmick on Transformers.

I suspect when we eventually see the real thing it will be subtly different to all of these!
