I have a few of the originals, but if they were repainted in a different color scheme (even slightly) to differentiate them from the originals, I would buy a few sets to use as "army builder", with the originals as their "Generals".


Wouldnt be re-issues then would they! :) :wink:

Hey, we got Ricochet last time around, so it's possible :P :wink: :wink:

No freakin' way, that's awesome!! :D I've wanted a Perceptor reissue since the TFC one was announced but couldn't afford it then, now I don't have to shell out on eBay. :D I had a G1 Perceptor as a kid but he was missing all his accessories... I hadn't seen much of the cartoon so I didn't know what the heck he was supposed to transform into but I thought he was cool anyway.

Man, I am pleased. Now I'm crossing my fingers, hoping they do it right, not like 25th Optimus Prime.

All right!
I'll pick up a Perceptor for me, and the Insecticons for my daughter (I already have the Takara-reissued ones).

Aarrgh, this bothers me. The more I think about it, the more I find myself wanting Kick Back. I also can't seem to shake the thought of getting Perceptor which is totally irrational. The only reason I want him is because of the AHM comic and I know that "this" Perceptor and "that" Preceptor are technically 2 different creatures. I just don't trust that "that" Perceptor is going to be released in the Universe or any other line and therfore find myself wanting "A" Perceptor regardless.
Did that make sense to anyone other than me?

If it helps, both Kickback and Perceptor are awesome figures regardless of what fiction they may or may not show up in.

The joints were a little loose, two of the three were missing guns and two were missing wings or mandbiles but otherwise in good condition for G1. So I will defintely be picking up a new set.


My thoughts exactly. I got a set of pretty loose Insecticons a few years back and have always hoped for a chance to find a reissue set. Looks like good news is here for us.
