You should.
All of the deluxe minibots are worth it. Even if he's the weakest of them, try to also get Huffer.

I have no real interest in toy Brawn, and the Seaspray is cool looking, but I am happy with my TR one for now.

I got the Target Perceptor and Devastation pack (I am calling them Blackout and Runaround).

Perceptor is neat enough, but I am glad to have Ramhorn.

The Devastation guys are wonderful, the orange cell shading really does it for them. That orange is why I decided to jump actually.

I also got my Sideways and Excellion, both are real neat, and I don't own an OG Sideways, so nice to have one in the house.

At first, I too, bought the boxset only for Ramhorn. Then I noticed that Ratbat was actually "complete" with his jetpack. Plus this Perceptor got some GAINS compared to the previous SS86 original.

I could care less for the Perceptor, I got his mold in the black colors and TR still reigns supreme for me

Legacy Magnificus is indeed... magnifique, especially with the Reprolabels set.

For me, and the majority of people, the SS86 / PotP Perceptor is the "superior" one. And thanks to that, I could get back the still very solid Titan Return one for the price of a Core Class figure. I love how they all look together.

I took pictures some months ago, but I never managed to make the post, so might as well do it now. (Magnificus not present on the pictures)

All the Generations / G1 Perceptors so far:

The TR makes the best "tank" vehicle.

The "toy" group:

The "toon" group:

And bonus, the old RTS car in "microscope" mode:
