'''Springtron''' is a playable fighter in ''[[ARMS (game)|ARMS]]''. He became playable in the [[Version 4.1.0]] [[Updates|update]], though he was in the game as an unplayable boss since [[Version 3.2.0]].

Springtron was modeled after [[Spring Man]], and as such looks quite similar to him. He is made of grey metal, has glowing blue eyes with black sclera, spring-like [[ARMS (extendable)|ARMS]] modeled after Spring Man's, and metal "hair" which is bent to resemble Spring Man's. His face resembles a mask similar to that of a human fighter, and a mouthpiece not shared by Spring Man. His outfit is identical to Spring Man's, except in his signature black and red color scheme. Just like Spring Man, his chestplate prominently features his logo, which is modeled after a T instead of an S.

{{FlavorText|A lean, mean fighting machine designed and built by ARMS Labs! His metal body is inspired by the popular fighter Spring Man, and he's packed with the latest advances in fighting technology. With the goal of improving ARMS Labs's image by flexing their scientific muscle, he's finally been allowed to step out of the shadows and officially enter the Grand Prix!|[http://arms.nintendo.com/fighters/springtron/ Official description]}}

According to one of Biff's messages when fighting [[Mechanica]] during the [[Grand Prix]], Springtron may have been built using blueprints stolen from [[Mechanica]] during a failed attempt at discovering her weakness. With additional combat data procured from [[Helix]]'s presence within the ARMS League, Springtron was created by scientists at ARMS Labs with [[Dr. Coyle]] being the head of the project. Originally only making sporadic appearances crashing the Grand Prix, he was later allowed proper entry into the competition.

Similar to Spring Man, Springtron is able to deflect incoming attacks with a small shockwave by charging after a dash or jump, and releasing the button before he is fully charged.

 

After a full charge, he rises from the ground and emits a huge shockwave that disables any extending arms within its range. During his descent, he also has a smaller, lingering "bubble" around him with the same effect. After this, his arms will stay constantly charged and his dash distance and speed will be boosted greatly. This effect lasts for approximately 9 seconds, or until he is knocked down.

 

 

 

 

When charged from an EMP, Springtron must then use his great mobility, and his constant charge to pressure with charged punches, while being mobile and evasive and creating his own openings.

Springtron is a secret boss in Grand Prix mode, fought immediately before [[Max Brass]] or [[Dr. Coyle]]. To encounter him, the player must play through Grand Prix on Level 4 or higher without losing a single round prior to the final battle. The player will only have one chance to defeat Springtron (and choosing to Save & Quit on the pause menu will also prevent the player from fighting him again in that Grand Prix), after which they will be taken directly to the Grand Finale.

He has the same ARMS, stats, and deflect shockwave of Spring Man, but instead of gaining a permanent charge at 25% health, he is capable of unleashing a large shockwave after fully charging. This shockwave disables any ARMS that were punching upon its release, and gives Springtron a constant charge and dramatically increased movement speed for approximately ten seconds, unless he is knocked down in which case the effect disappears immediately.

 

Springtron is significantly stronger as a boss than he is as a playable character, boasting increased movement speed both with the buff from his shockwave and without, and only taking half a second to activate his shockwave as opposed to the full second needed when playing as him. He always starts each round in a charged-up state as a boss.

*[[Spring Man/Quotes|''List of Quotes'']]

Note: Springtron shares most of his quotes with Spring Man, though they are edited to sound more robotic.

*Springtron is the youngest ARMS character, at 0 years old. The second youngest is Helix, at 2 years old. This reflects how he was only just recently built during the events of the game.

*Springtron and Spring Man are the only characters known to share a voice actor with each other.
