    Default RtS Perceptor gallery

    From the KO toys website, photos of the upcoming Perceptor toy in both modes.
    Very nicely done - it looks so much like Gen1 Perceptor in robot mode, I'm thinking, how can that turn into a vehicle when it looks like it should turn into its original microscope mode.

    Strange that huh? but the pictures reveal his backpack and that the alt mode is mostly a shell that folds away into his legs which i though was well done.

    Well, from the front at least... but yeah, the back half gives it away.

    Perceptor can only be a microscope. Nuff said!

    I'd like to wager that he will have an unofficial Microscope mode that some person will figure out. At least, I hope so, he does look friggin sweet and a great homage to G1 Perceptor.

    I too would like to see how they can pull it off. Is it to be like the original with having 3 robots? Or just as the main bot? Coz then I can see how they could do it if he is just singular. Bit of a retool on the head and chest, and that will be it.

    I want this for the robot mode. That's the selling point.

    Hasbro are clever. They release a repaint of Perceptor as Reflector and the fans will buy it three times (Just like many fans are waiting to buy multiple Scourges).

    Yeah, I have no interest in this, but I would buy the (%@# out of it if it was coloured as Reflector. (I assume it will just be Viewfinder rather than clearly representing Spectro or Spyglass, but I'm certain that cartoon fans will buy them in lots of three.)

    Perhaps Hasbro could repaint/retool the toy once as Reflector, then create three packaging variants with the names Spectro, Viewfinder and Spyglass! Some of us might just buy one Reflector and be happy with it, but I could imagine completists wanting to hunt down all 3 of them even if it's the same toy.
