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. He enjoys sleeping in a tub of his excretions, such as diarreah, mucus, dark brown bloody urine, kidney stones, gal stones, and throw up. While he is in the tub, he sucks the pus out of his skin infections. This often makes him very sick. It is unclear why he keeps doing this.
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. He wears 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. 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.
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 defect 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:
