Just picked up this guy.. was planning to swap out the chrome parts onto the united version, but seems like its going to be too big of a hassle to do so.
Besides that, pretty much as awesome as the pics showed the mould to be.

Yeah. It looks really neat like that. But he can't really hold it so it's just good for that one pose. Still A neat homage. But he's missing guns of his own.Originally Posted by Sleeve

I'm in love with this figure at the moment.
The alt mode is not the best, but the bot mode is perfection! The transformation is very fiddly (get one step wrong and you're screwed down the line) which is usually a big issue for me - transforming should be fun, not a chore! But once you get your head around it, transforming him is cool. There's heaps of potential here as a Soundwave repaint/re-tool too. I only wish they could have put the shoulder cannon on the other side (like G1 Perceptor).
Highly recommended!

Gah. was a bit too forceful during the last part of transformation and now the gray plastic piece attached to the head is loose....Watch out for that guys...

that last part is tricky -- I took it slow and easy.
Aaah, gotta love my luck with Hasbro QC. My Perceptor's left cheek has a massive chip on it... (O_T)

I also think i snapped off the black piece that fits inside the grey piece too...
Though it does seem to make the transformation easier.....*

you gotta be really careful with it... it makes a loud click noise when it locks into place (although the lock itself doesn't seem to hold that well - bark is worse than its bite), but I can see how people can break it with even moderate force. As a toy designed for children, this is a pretty silly design feature. The back section really shouldn't be so damn tricky to set right. This is my biggest criticism of the toy.
Also, I tried putting Magnificus' weapons into RTS Perceptor's hands today...
I don't recommend this as the weapons are little bit too big. RTS Perceptor can old G1 Perceptor's weapons but it's over tight, like ROTF Bludgeon... so I'm scared that if I keep doing this that the thumbs might snap off, so I'm not gonna try it again. Unfortunately the hands are too big/open to hold Generation Blurr's rifle.

im really disappointed with perceptor
the way his arms are slung underneath and the scopey gun thing stuck on top, with the chest all hidden inside like it is, they couldve had this design be *any* character! all the little bits that give the perceptor identity are just extras, and all the other mode parts don't matter, it feels very generic
