In September 2008 pictures of a mold for an unnamed Legends class toy similar to Incinerator appeared online. In December 2008 images of a boxed Springer toy from Revenge of the Fallen appeared on the internet.

The original script for the movie was to have Springer in it along with Depth Charge and Breakaway and concept art was even created for him. However, after many revisions to the script, Springer was cut out of the movie all together along with Depth Charge & Breakaway due to the writer strike. Concept art was also created for him, although he survived in both his Legends and Robot Heroes toys.

His alternate mode seems to be similar to that of the Decepticon Incinerator, only with an extra blade in each rotor.

Note: As a toy he's called "Autobot Springer", possibly for trademark purposes.

Famous quotes containing the words revenge and/or fallen:

    Interpretation is the revenge of the intellect upon art. Even more. It is the revenge of the intellect upon the world. To interpret is to impoverish, to deplete the world—in order to set up a shadow world of “meanings.”
    Susan Sontag (b. 1933)

    In this world, only those people who have fallen to the lowest degree of humiliation, far below beggary, who are not just without any social consideration but are regarded by all as being deprived of that foremost human dignity, reason itself—only those people, in fact, are capable of telling the truth. All the others lie.
    Simone Weil (1909–1943)
