When he transforms from helicopter to robot mode, Springer's rotor blade also transforms to become a light saber.
Fiction
Marvel The Transformers comics
In robot mode Springer was armed with a light saber capable of cutting through concrete. Springer's Universe profile
Toys
The Transformers
- Springer (Triple Changer, 1986)
- Accessories: light saber/rotor blade, laser
- The Transformers, Springer's helicopter blades could fold up to form a light saber, according to his instructions and packaging bio.
- This toy was reissued in 1991 as part of the European/Australian Classics line.
Notes
- While Springer being armed with a light saber is not particularly surprising given that The Transformers: The Movie was marketed as "conceived in the epic tradition of Star Wars", this seems like a particularly egregious bit of trademark baiting from Hasbro given that Lucasfilm are particularly protective over the lightsaber.
- The Dreamwave More than Meets the Eye writers sidestepped the issue entirely by replacing Springer's light saber with a more generic energy saber.
