Good grief these look awesome!

I never thought I'd describe any incarnation of Reflector as bad-ass, but DAMN!

That South Korean studio that used to rip off every Japanese robot/spaceship/character design they could get their hands on in the late '80s needs to do a remake of 'Solar Adventure' that steals this Reflector's design. The aliens their commie neighbors have teamed up with this time won't even know what hit 'em!

Making the 3-barreled vulcan from his tripod was an awesome idea; that means you can fold the barrels out slightly so he can widen his line of fire into an anti-aircraft death-spray.

The tripod forms a gatling gun
The lenses form a jetpack

Oh my this set is epically awesome.

I want this so bad I can TASTE it!

This is very awesome!

But, I can't help but hope for a DL Reflector set with a real (albeit low quality) digital camera!

SO awesome! They're like the Mayhem Attack Squad! I'm an Autobot, but the Decepticons sure do have a bunch of sweet characters!

This set is incredible. Engineering genius. The accessories are all compatible in both modes. That's one of the things I love about FP and PE seems to have nailed it. I hope the paint apps and connection points are solid(problem with some of their previous releases) bc this is an instant buy.

Holy crap. I can only hope this is affordable.

Need to know how much and where to get those stands they use? anyone knows where to buy the stands or the names of the stands

I like everything except the use of the camera lens as a jet pack. Some things were just meant to be placed into a parts box like Classic Bumblebee's trailer and City Commanders big gun. The lens will be joining them in my parts box.

I'll grab a set or two...

I hope the paint apps. make it look even better!

by **S4_NE** » Wed Jan 26, 2011 11:52 am

I want it, but I wonder what the price tag will be 100.00 +? :KREMZEEK:

by **MGrotusque** » Wed Jan 26, 2011 1:05 pm

I'm shocked at how excellent these guys look. They're amazing. Well done PE!! well done. There's some heavy artillery there too. These guys look like quite the force to be reckoned with.

Now for the price. Please keep it reasonable :PRAY:

by **RiddlerJ** » Wed Jan 26, 2011 1:53 pm

I want these guys (this guy?) so badly.

But I have a feeling that the price is gonna kill me. I may have to just make due with the Perceptor remold. :-(

Hideous cannon thing, or asymmetrical jetpack. Ick. He's definitely the loser of the trio.

However, seeing Shield with his... shield... standing upright, so that the holes actually serve a purpose, I've come to like him. So I'm back to considering this set based on how much it costs.

by **NTESHFT** » Wed Jan 26, 2011 4:17 pm

I'll take it.....

News Credits: 1 · by **Gauntlet101010** » Wed Jan 26, 2011 4:58 pm

Let's see...

1) Show accurate lookalike robot modes
2) Wonderful camera mode.
3) Highly articulated figures with every camera part serving a purpose
4) Are not Decepticons which combine with an Autobot

Seems like a winner to me! I gotta say I'm impressed here.

by **synthetik** » Wed Jan 26, 2011 10:57 pm

Wow, this set is ridiculously sexy. PE PLEASE take your time on releasing these

by **Court Jester** » Thu Jan 27, 2011 1:43 am

Yeah, but does it come in black? :grin:

News Credits: 5 · by **Oilspill** » Thu Jan 27, 2011 4:08 am

Gah... this looks too good!

PE, keep your quality up and your prices affordable and you'll be among the third party giants with this set!

It occurs to me that, probably, the lenses can fit onto his back while combined... which, while oversized on him, I would prefer to the mismatched jets or the oversized cannon.

The same thought occurred to me as well. While I don't mind the weird jet pack or the giant cannon, it would make it look more like the ammo drum for his minigun, much like Vulcan Raven's from Metal Gear Solid.
