Toy Review - RtS Perceptor
It was love at first sight with Perceptor.
The moment I first saw him, I knew this would be a cool toy - he's a fantastic homage (in bot mode) to the original G1 character.
While he doesn't transform into a microscope, I think we would all agree that in this day and age, his alt mode of a half track vehicle is much cooler (unless you're a complete geek and have an affinity for scientific equipment).
Transformation is a little bit fiddly on this guy with plenty of precise adjusting to get bits and pieces to fit together correctly and lock into place (not to the same extremes as Universe Galvatron though).
He also ends up with a fair bit of kibble hanging off him - but it's all neatly done and not to the same extent as ROTF NEST Brawn for example.
Articulation is as expected on a toy like this - excellent - however my one gripe is that his shoulder cannon cannot be adjusted.
I don't know how the United version will end up looking, but the Hasbro version is already loaded with plenty of chrome bits - all very nicely done.
Perceptor is an excellent figure and is a definite buy on sight, even at full retail.
9/10 (totally awesome!)
