As one of my main top fav characters, its important to me to have a great Perceptor and this is it. Of course I wish it had forearm covers and a cover on his back, but Im sure a kit will be made.
Also someone out there please put out a kit for 86' Kup. I would really like a new head with a better face sculpt. Preferably an IDW cygar one.

But for the most part, I think his bot mode is very on point...
I appreciate that he has his original alt mode, and at the same time, this is a reminder as to why a vehicle mode has been used in the past... "Playing" with a microscope that doesn't really work or do anything isn't exactly the most exciting feature.

Thank you, yes, let's move on.
That pic with Hot Rod is very telling of the current reality where size is no longer as relevant in the class distinction, its all about parts count/complexity now.

It always has been. Otherwise Armada Tidal Wave, Animated Lockdown and Battle Blade Bumblebee would be a Class higher.

But you didnt have shorter bots being a class higher, that element is new.

Yeah, scale did mess things up. Originally they were catered to packaging size it looks like, but now...

The 86 movie Autobots were always somewhat larger than the average 84-85 Autobot, there's nothing wrong with the scale.

While it probably doesn't need to work, I don't think it would have been that expensive to make it work as a person can buy relatively cheap microscope set in the toy section as it is for $30-40. So to add a couple lenses in his scope couldn't have cost more than $4 at most.
That said, how many people plan to ever use it as a functional microscope anyways? lol

Yeah, my point is while other characters race off as a vehicle, jet, or animal, as part of almost any scenario a kid could make up, a microscope in general isn't that fun to play with.
On top of that, I'll add it's not exactly some sweet display piece.

We didnt post the video and went with still images instead. Lets move on. Any further comment regarding this will be sent to a different thread.

Who knows when we'll get another version of either, especially with these stylings...

Yeah, especially Blaster. This is the first time since G1 that he and Soundwave don't share molds. And Blaster is popular, that toy's gonna sell super well.

Agreed. Although I don't know how I feel about Eject and the transparent plastic...
It's kinda cool, but I think I would've liked regular plastic and coloring more.
