    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.

    The chrome makes me wonder if it's United as opposed to Generations. If not, good on Hasbro for chroming it up.

    I'd say it's Hasbro's doing, considering they used chrome on the recent ROTF Ravages that they released. Who knows, maybe Hasbro will be going with chrome with some figures that deserve it now.

    THe bot mode is goodlooking, but Im still not sold on the alt mode. Why does a truck have treads for rear wheels? I know its more of a homage to G1 Perceptor having tank treads as well but it just looks weird and trying hard for me.

    It looks like he's missing a plow to make the alt mode look more... acceptable in having those rear wheel treads. Still Im getting this.
