As far as the shoulder cannon, I do agree with you. I'd prefer to have the point going down. If I turn the light bar around, then I get a pic that looks like Seibs already did. I can't find a way to get the gun to point downward.

Still.....it's a convincing enough microscope mode. Good job. Now just a matter of getting that light cannon in the right position.

Total shot in the dark here; maybe there is some way to bring Perceptor's windshield into play? like bringing it over to cover perceptors head, make the windshield look less like kibble... I dont know, haha. I NEED MY OWN PERCEPTOR ALREADY, DAMNIT TFSOURCE.

Nice job with the photos.

Would you say Hasbro's Wreck-gar is more brownish red or red? I've seen pictures of him in several different shades.

I would definitely say he's more brown than red. He's one of my favorites of the new line. I gotta find another one to have him ride on.

Wife got home. I'll take more pics of Perceptor. I have an idea for the cannon mode from the original G1 too.

Killa killa, Yea, I remember reading somthing about a hasbro junkion, scraphead or somthing, I forget. We will get another junkion that is different in paint and head, I'm sure.

Okay. Here's a more extensive gallery, though not as extensive as Seibertron's. It is of a better quality than my cell phone pics. (And in the right orientation, too! )













Okay, aside from my initial look, here is another one. I think this looks a little too much like the bug microscope from RotF, though.



The shoulder laser does pivot. It's just that it gets stopped by anatomy. I moved it off to the side so you all can see the pivot point and how the whole mount swivels away from the head opening.







Maybe this is the best compromise to get a decent looking microscope. Just make sure you don't put your eye out...

ahh cool, lots interesting things going on there... just gets me even more eager to mess around with it. Thanks for taking more pics, mon

Ask and you shall receive! G2 Optimus versus G2 Megatron!!! Click the images below to view more comparison shots.

Thanks Seibertron! They look awesome pose with each other. It's also interesting that, while they were made five years apart, they look like they could have been in the same wave of releases with how both toys match one another in terms of poseability and detail. I have the G2 version of Megatron here and now they have a G2 Optimus so he must be mine if only to give something for G2 Megatron to grind under his boot and steal the matrix (that I'd scavenge from MP Rodimus).

Most excellent galleries! Can't wait to get my Perceptor & Wreck-Gar.

I gotta tell ya....I have myself TWO Wreck-Gars now and when he's riding the bike, he's IMO, the best figure in the RTS line to date!

Not that i hadn't already thought that when i had him on his own but now that i have the second figure in bike form and the two are "combined", the EPICNESS that is Wreck-Gar is unparalleled so far.

Just do yourself the favor and get two Wreck-Gars if you can. IT was too hard for me to wait for Scrapheap. Prolly won't see him till next year.

Got my Wreck-Gar today and Bumblebee a couple of weeks ago.

Passing on G2 Prime, but looking forward to Perceptor

I only picked up Perceptor and Wreck-Gar. Bumblebee was an odd shade of yellow, and there's enough different molds of Bumblebee around. G2 Prime doesn't interest me at all. LOVE Wreck-Gar's bot and vehicle modes. Perceptor is another story. He's easy enough to get from truck to robot, but d**n is he hard to transform back into truck mode. I'm leaving him in truck mode for the foreseeable future.

What is that very shiny chromed out Bumblebee? I have all 5 repaints minus the new RTS one. I had no idea there was another one.

It's the Japanese Transformers United version that just came out a couple of weeks ago. I'll try to get the gallery posted soon.

Has anyone figured out what Perceptor's license plate "MR 51408" stands for? I can't think of any but a strange one.

TFWiki, and a reviewer claim it's an in-joke concerning the daughter of one of the designers.

Ahrrrr, a big typo there. It's 9, not 8.
Yeah, just read that. If there is no sense, might think about custom made one.....
