Ultra scaled, MP styled Perceptor!

This looks pretty good, I wonder if they scrapped the toy's tank mode in favour of being closer to the toon.

And another gift from Fans Toys. Looks solid to me, would love to see the alt mode but I think I'm already sold.

Another cool thing - we're seeing FT-09 Tesla and FT-11 Spotter. FT-10 could be their Jetfire (or was it Skyfire)? Or maybe it's something else for a welcome surprise.

Think the FT Perceptor robot mode might be Ultra scale not leader scale. As FT Quakewave barely makes the Leader scale in robot mode.

Might pick this up if it's under $130 and the microscope mode looks decent. Kinda want the 3rd tank mode also that the original toy had.

Think Ultra scale is perfect for FT Perceptor. As he wasn't that big in the fiction.

Thanks for the digibash colored pics.

Hoping it has a tank mode. As that would be a deciding factor whether I buy this or not.

Looks good. Just not quite sure he will be in scale with other official Masterpiece figures. Such as Soundwave.

As good as this looks i can hold off for a Takara MP .

an MP perceptor can be pretty low on their to-do list...

No one expects the Unexpected Panda!

I love the user name, I love his/her photoshop colors. And that Magnificus looks pretty damn cool.

Speaking of pandas, have this video to cheer up your day:

That's the paranoia with only collecting MP you just don't know who and when a characters gonna drop from Takara .

Think this is a fair price to pay for a toy this scale and of MP style. Probably going to buy this one.

Yeah, I don't see an official MP Perceptor being made anytime soon.


Preordered.

Nice!!!! Maybe we'll have some video reviews soon. I really didn't think this product would make the April release, but just MAYBE might make it for May?

I am liking this guy, he has a nice mix of modernized look and G1 look mixed together. I am liking the colors in the official shots as well.

Hmm. The robot mode is nice but the microscope mode is kinda weak...

It's a great toy.

Would like it to Transform into that Third tank mode like the G1 toy did. Don't see any sculpted tank threads on the back robot legs.

I think the microscope is very G1, weak looking and all

TsuTsu I can live without the mode but I would like it to be there as well to add to the G1 toy look.

That blue looks... off. Is this the final version or still a mockup of some sort? Doesn't look like Perceptor to me, although I know that there were numerous color-shifts in the cartoon.

You are right, the blue is off from the traditional teal. The red is off too, and should be more of a brick red.

These colors are more like the first release Mugen.
They do match the cartoon model pretty well though, he was more of a traditional red/blue in the show.

I'll be holding off hoping for a repaint, though.
