The figure is a repaint of Classics Jetfire, released in early 2007.
Two auctions on Ebay have some new photos of Transformers Universe Springer. The first shows 4 photos of the robot and helicopter modes in what looks like a finished paint scheme, will another 2 photos in the second auction.
Springer is a voyager size figure that will only be available in the Target exclusive Standoff Beneath the Streets – Springer V Ratbat set.
A new gallery has been posted at Actoys.net, showing the Transformers Encore 10 Minibots in and out of their packaging. The photos show the front and rear of the packaging, as well as each bot transformed and both sides of the profile cards.
The set was originally numbered 9 but was swapped with Omega Supreme. The six figures in the set are Bumblebee, Swerve, Tailgate, Outback and Pipes, and can be picked up now from TakaraTomy.
jewelz_green of Actoys.net has posted a high resolution gallery of one of TakaraTomy’s latest Binaltech figures, BT-19 Bluestreak. The gallery shows both the robot and the Subaru Impreza WRX Sedan modes of the repainted figure, which was released earlier this month in Japan.
Fan2Fan have updated their site preorder page with some new images of the next Masterpiece figure MP-07 Thundercracker. The face has been changed to give a different facial expression to Starscream.

TFW2005.com member Robotchan has helped out the fandom by translating the story for TakaraTomy’s latest two Binaltech figures, BT-19 Bluestreak and BT-20 Meister. The story is titled “Unfinished Business Parts 1 and 2”.
The Binaltech story is set between Generation One Season 2 and Transformers The Movie in Takara’s Transformers universe.
