Still dunno if Perceptor's playable or not.

It's looking unlikely in story mode, but let's hope that Perceptor, as well as every Combaticon and Dinobot are playable in Escalation.

I love Perceptor. They even made his alt mode the hidden tank mode from the G1 toy, nice.

Yep, Perceptor is sweet. That's a great alt mode. I especially like the barrel of the "canon".

Perceptor looks awesome, why couldnt they have done that for the RTS figure instead of a stupid halftrack suv thing

I kinda made one, with that altmode anyway. Back in 2007!




It's an old pic because it's in a box somewhere or something. It hasn't been on display for years at this point! Still, the similarities are unmistakable!

Something I've noticed...Besides BB,if the special ability is just "Autobot" or "Decepticon" then I believe that Character won't have a playable level in the campaign...

-Well I must say I LOVE Perceptor alot more now. I love how he's a tank AND a good sniper for someone who like to not engage in combat. The one thing I don't like about this Perceptor is his headscuplt or more in particular his face...it's Frightening...

-Vortex Looks awesome. Nuff said. His Bio also sounds very cool and I cant wait to play the Vortex level.

-Finally Grimlock made it to the Characters page!!! Holy Primus he is just so awesome to see. Can't wait for his Campaign mission as well. Crossing fingers for Dinobots being playable in Escalation.

-Swindle's cool I guess...I was hoping for Bruticus on the characters page,but hey I guess we can dream.

Oh hey just noticed there is TWO more character slots for both Bots and Cons. More to come in the future!!!

Agreed. He looks like he's possessed by Azazel from Supernatural. Have to admit I'm not sure how I feel about him transforming into a tank. It strikes me as far too out of character.

I looked at the images of Swindle and Vortex here, then went and looked at the images of their figures. That's when a tear rolled down my face.

I agree with the out of character thing.
But it's a shooter game, there isn't a single character in WFC that does "nice" stuff.

They could've given Ratchet/Soundwave Healing Turrets instead of Bullet Turrets (there are healing turrets in the game)

I think they can define the character more with the two skills he has. But I think in FOC you can switch skills during missions/Escalation. Since I saw Starscream Dashing and Cloaking, those are two time-based skills. Anyway, they probably changed it all

Ha! Love that Perceptor. He's a great nod to the original toy's third mode. And the game model has his elbow dials, chest, and cannon all nailed. Great job.
