Springer was the leader of the Wreckers, and was a major character of IDW Publishing's Transformers comics, being the main protagonist of The Wreckers Trilogy. Springer was one of the most overtly heroic and noble Autobots, who would never let anyone he values down.

History

Origins as Ostaros

A Wrecker

to be added

The Wreckers long standing rivalry with their Decepticon counterparts, Squadron X, ended on the planet Pova. Springer was trapped under some collapsed rubble, and Impactor, despite his pleas, fired through his body, using it as a shield. This helped turn the tide, and the Wreckers captured Squadron X, with Springer left recovering. After Impactor was told, as Pova was neutral territory, he would have to let them go, he snapped, and Springer realised he would execute them all against orders. Despite trying to break through the door, it was no use, and Impactor executed them all.

At Impactor's trial, Springer testified against him through Aequitas, and the disgraced Impactor was imprisoned on Garrus-9. As Impactor was dragged to his cell, Springer told his former commander why he tried to stop him: while Squadron X deserved to die for their crimes, Impactor didn't have the right to kill them.

The return of Kup

In Spotlight: Kup, Springer took a break from leading the Wreckers when he discovered his old mentor Kup had been found, having been MIA for some time. However, the planet he had crashed on was full of irradiated crystals which warped his mind, and the planet could be destroyed with a single spark. Springer tried to contact him by hologram, but Kup's madness left him seeing the Springer hologram as a taunting spectre, and believing any Autobots in anti radiation suits were monsters, killing many of them. He was chewed out by the bitter Siren, and Prowl and Perceptor tried to dissuade him, but Springer insisted they continue on, for the sake of all those Kup had mentored. Thankfully, his 'specialist', Trailbreaker, arrived, and used his forcefield abilities to rescue Kup. Seeing how physically and mentally broken Kup was, Springer was left wondering if it was worth it.

All Hail Megatron

Springer was making regular trips to the Ark-17 to check up on Kup, but in Everything in it's Right Place, Springer was appalled to hear that Prowl had taken Kup to the Kimia Facility. After punching Prowl on the jaw, Springer demanded to know where Kup and Perceptor were. Prowl managed to tell him that they managed to restore Kup, to Springer's shock. Prowl revealed he teamed Perceptor with the scientists of the facility and had achieved a breakthrough, and the wary Springer noted how as Wrecker leader, he was fully aware of how Kimia Facility was used to create experimental weaponry.

Springer was shocked that Prowl used Pretender technology on Kup, after the Thunderwing incident, but Prowl talked him down, revealing that it had been refined to rebuild Kup. Springer was still skeptical, until he saw footage of Kup moving like in his prime. However, Springer noticed he seemed to have a Cy-gar, which was in fact used as a way to keep him mentally stable. After being allowed to see Kup in person, an emotional Springer welcomed him back. After seeing him, Springer told Prowl that Kup could never know what happened in his rescue mission, and Prowl assured him all involved would be sworn to silence.
