Yeah, SG Perceptor was originally a straight re-use of Magnificus. Same idea with the number of Diaclone characters that are re-used as Shattered Glass Characters.
This does raise some questions though, since it means there are more than 5 Shattered Glass characters releasing in the near future. Is Hasbro doing away with that more encapsulated concept?

Or they could release him in Selects as magnificus just like they released "sg skids" in velocitron

But that's part of the confusion: This site is specifically selling "SG Perceptor" and not "Magnificus."

They are exactly the same thing, give or take a legal name and a micro-man minifig.

Right, but my point was that Hasbro has gone for a "5 releases per wave" model for Shattered Glass. Having this figure be specifically marketed as "Shattered Glass" and not some other line, like with Lift-Ticket, Burn Out, Breaker, etc. means that the 5 release concept is straight out the window and we can be hopeful for more Shattered Glass releases in a smaller time frame.

They're likely calling it SG Perceptor for lack of anything better to call it. The site is clearly selling figures stolen from the factory since none of them come in packaging and they were selling Velocitron wave 2 Crasher and a bunch of figures shown on the recent live stream. Since neither SG Perceptor no Magnificus have been announced I'm sure they're just guessing.

Wish granted, have another Siege Battlemaster repaint.Gearslide wrote:I assume the new head is a guarantee, but is it possible that he will come with a Micro-Man equivalent, just for the fun of it?
Fast delivery, good packaging. But the product has too many scratches, the joints are too loose. The latch is closed on the shoulder, it 's very strong even though i pressed it very strongly. The wrong product name is ma maficus' kntficus', not the product of SG.

Goddammit, now I can't unsee it.

Gee, the store selling stolen figures from the factory got the listing wrong and sold a subpar figure.
