This version of Perceptor looks super sweet!

I like the shot of him alongside Kup, great scaling and not a spot of kibble!

I hope Keith takes a page out of Mech iDeas book when it comes to pricing!

The price is the deciding factor. I like the scale with Kup so it should look good with a Wreckers display.

Not bad, but the G1 toy's microscope mode looks better... Tank mode isn't bad. Might be passing on this one.

I really don't see the buzz for a microscope these days wtf am i gonna do with a microscope? the tank looks lame as well , robot however looks decent maybe a bit skinny in parts but nice detail on the mold .

I can't say exactly why, but I do not like this figure. It just seems wrong somehow.

Generations Perceptor with the iGear guns is perfect enough for me.

For those that are interested, pre-order now up at BBTS.

But, wow! $75 plus shipping for this deluxe? Now an easy pass for me.

Sorry to be hypercritical but there isn't any redeeming qualities that I see that isn't covered in Generations Perceptor. The microscope and tank mode are mediocre. The head mold doesn't look like Perceptor (unless this is Magnificus). The range of motion can be duplicated with the existing toy.

I... have Generations Perceptor. He's a VERY good Perceptor. This... is not needed, not really.

Is this going to be Impactor? Because these latest pics make it look closer to him than Perceptor.

Yep, this is the test shot which will be used for all three versions, one of which will be the Perceptor homage using the new head seen in the later photos.

This figure is looking absolutely awesome coming from new kids on the 3rd party block KFC.
I think this fully poseable figure is a fine start to what could become a great player amongst the many new 3rd Party offerings recently.
Their MP sized cassettebots seem to have been well received, so hopes are high for this newer take on the classic character Perceptor and mold mates Magnificus and Microchange/Diaclone MC20 'Perceptor'!

Going by the recently released pre-order pricing from the usual suspects, getting this fella over to the U.K. would cost around the £50 to £60 mark, for a Deluxe scale, puts this out of reach for many a fan im sure. :-?

Keith should have a word with Mech iDeas...

I will definitely be buying the Magnificus release of this guy. He looks great. Considering size, accessory count & inclusion of die-cast the price is not bad at all. Just need a preorder for my desired flavor to pop up.....anytime now.....come on TFSource.....still waiting.

Stylized, kibble-free, comic-accurate... and with a Magnificus color scheme available first... yep, I'll get it

This looks fantastic, the only thing I can find at fault with this is the tiny feet. This looks miles ahead of their cassettes damn. This figure looks incredible, sure Generations Perceptor is great, but damn, look at the articulation and everything on this. :shock:

I hope they wil make a soundwave remold out of this one.
Just did a quick photoshop and i'd love to see this happen

Nice!
With suggestions that the recent MMC Shockwave could be a base mold which could be modded into different figures, this digibash made me think what KFCs Mugen Scope would look like in Shocky purple, head swapped with the recent Mech iDeas kit..? :-?
