"And who could our new challenger be... Oh my word, it's none other than Springtron! He's the ultimate fighting machine who's been disrupting the Grand Prix seeking worthy opponents. Leveraging a lifetime of ARMS Lab's historical data, he's machine learning—and fighting—at its finest."

—Biff

Springtron is a playable fighter in ARMS. He became playable in the Version 4.1.0 update, though he was in the game as an unplayable boss since Version 3.2.0.

Appearance

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 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.

Backstory

"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!"

—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.

Abilities

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.

In exchange for these benefits, Springtron lacks Spring Man's permanent charge under 25% health, and his aerial movement speed when jumping is decreased.

Playstyle

The Robot Replica has a unique ability in his EMP wave that, though threatening and powerful, is hard to set up without being countered. This means that a player must constantly utilize his deflect ring and the threat of an EMP, to deter punches.

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.

ARM Recommendations

Springtron works well with Wind and Ice ARMS, which give him the ability to produce an EMP without risk of being countered (even Electric ARMS don’t give him enough time). However he works well with most ARMS similarly to Spring Man. Some good choices for him are:

Popper
Slamamander
Chilla

In Grand Prix

SPOILER ALERT! Don't read if you don't want to be spoiled.

"A-am I hallucinating?! Do we have an…intruder? I've never seen anything like this, folks!
… I don't know about you, but I smell something fishy goin' on here. We gotta take this guy down!"

—Biff

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.

Trivia

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.
Because Spring Man and Springtron share the same ARMS, whenever Springtron gets new ARMS, the same ARMS are available for Spring Man, and vice versa.
Though he was created in Spring Man’s image his relationship with him is unknown.
Springtron fits the typical fighting game trope of a clone character, sharing most of his abilities, attributes, animations and quotes with Spring Man.
Springtron has the smallest number of voice clips recorded for him, with only five. This is because most of his voice clips are edited versions of Spring Man's voice clips made to sound robotic.
Springtron and Spring Man are the only characters known to share a voice actor with each other.
