It doesn’t seem to matter what character FansToys announce, because of their incredible start to life as a 3rd Party company putting out TF-a-likes with Quakewave and the Iron Dibots, even a character so woefully under-appreciated as Perceptor garnered some solid attention. FT-09 Tesla is their Masterpiece-scaled representation of the Autobot Scientist, and the one I bought from TFSource has arrived. I was not obligated to review this one, it was a purchase purely for my own collection, but I can’t keep my feelings about him to myself

His metallic painted eyes really bother me. It looks way more aggressive then Perceptor should. Really takes away from the G1 cartoon look they're going for. Also all those screw holes in the back looks ugly. Maybe some screw hole covers will fix that.

I can live with the eyes, it's the overall face sculpt that's a huge let down for me on this. Tesla was an impulsive purchase that I don't completely regret, but I really hope either Takara does one or someone else releases an alternate head. Also agreed on the screw holes. They really stand out in alt mode.
