Perceptor from PRID Sergeant Kup mold.

Playing around with kup, the idea struck me, then came up with a microscope mode.

modded the canon to attach to his shoulders, and
shaved off some bits of the face to make it look umm...not like a chimp.
other than that just a simple repaint.

hope you guys like it. enjoy!

That's a clever mod, I like it

!

Perceptor's color scheme looks far better on that mold than Kup's in my opinion.

Oh, Hasbro... If only you had thought this up. Shame on you!

Dude, this is amazing work. It works so well.

Great paint work and this works so well for the character, especially after the Classics Perceptor a few years back. Good job!

I'd like to dub this one "kegstand mode". Since inception, Perceptor was always invited to the Robot House parties.

I've always loved Perceptor. I loved the way IDW made him a bad @zz. I've also always loved clever misstransformations. And I really love you're mod. A PRIME example of just how transformers help stretch the imagination. A++1 (IMO)

That is an excelent use of that mold. Nice work!

Question: when you paint the joints, do you ever have problems with the paint scraping off after repeated use?
