RTS Reflector

[snaketales]

Rumoured as a remold of Perceptor, but I haven't seen anyone actually make one. Most of the customs using this mold are of turning Perceptor into Soundwave.
Normally this would be a straight repaint,but I had used the shoulders for my custom Camshaft, so I had to rig some up using the leftovers from a classics 2-pack Optimus. I had to replace both the shoulders and the shoulder ball joints.
If I find more cheap Perceptors I may start troop-building.
(and yes I know Reflector is usually the name for the camera mode... call this the All Hail Megatron/G1 cartoon Reflector)



As you can see I still haven't mastered properly transforming this mold.

Ever since that announcement of a Perceptor redeco being Reflector (that never happened), it amazes me that Funpub never did that with their BotCon 3-packs... having them all the same colour like the cartoon (with one having a camera lens sticker on the chest).

Nicely executed Snakey! Maybe you could fashion some kind of camera accessory to put on the roof the alt mode so you can claim he's a 'Recon' or 'Google maps' truck.

Nice work, good colour selection and head rework.

might the difficulty transforming be related to the different shoulder parts you've used?

[Tetsuwan Convoy]

That's a great head job you've done there!!










Oh, Whaaaaat??

This is FubPub we are talking about.. does it reeeally amaze you?

Oh and great job snaketales! You always match the colours perfectly

Thanks for the comments everyone - especially you Tets.

I'm pretty sure it isn't - they seemed to fit in fine where the normal shoulders would go. I think it's just me.

I'd love the heck out of that, even if they did it for the current Generations line. It's a good mould.

Bump for reinforcements! One more to go....




I also made what I like to think looks like a camera from Perceptor's weapon.

[Tetsuwan Convoy]

That's pretty damned good!
