I do like the transformation friendliness of the Siege version (any from Titans Return and later). I find it very hard to make sure everything clicks into place properly in the Generations version.

Not sure if you have a different copy than my Siege Springer, but he is the most difficult to transform in all the Siege figures I have (and I have almost all of them). Everything needs to be pegged absolutely correctly, perfectly otherwise it doesn't work well.
I don't have the Generation version but his cousin Sandstorm, which is a pain to transform, but still looks great, with many comments about Sandstorm is the better version of that mold.
I do like this Siege Springer figure quite a lot, BUT he does have multiple flaws, pretty much the usual like all Siege figures have.
If I was to compare and have to decide, I'd probably go with what I have now, simply because this Springer is better as a cartoon version, and the Sandstorm is awesome as he is, and the difference between them makes them better "together" than if they were both the same mold.... the generation mold of Springer never appealed to me.
Should they do the same and remold him to make a new Sandstorm, they'd have to do a very impressive job to win me over.
