I like Planet X & I like Perceptor...but I'm not sure I like this. It's kind of like fruit cake.

If they made a repaint into something different, I'll be interested. I'm happy with my Generations Perceptor enough

Ooh, Heavyarms Perceptor!

Glarryg

That'd make a cool Magnificus though

Eh, I use the KFC mold as my classics Percy & ehobby' version of Magnificus so I'm set. Wish they would have decided to tackle Ironhide instead of Perceptor.

I love that description.

Indeed, I love Planet X's stuff. And this looks good. But I don't know that I need a pre-earth Perceptor...

Yeah, I get that, but beyond that, he looks like a nice, solid figure - one that looks to be unhindered by a needlessly over complicated transformation (I know he shouldn't have one, but they could've given him one regardless)

FOC is a dead horse and Planet X just pulled out a huge mallet and comensed beating...

The game kinda sucked, but I love the designs of most of the characters, and wish hasbro had released more figures - and not squandered the line on the stupid sound brothers' motley crew; depending on scale and price, I would get some of them.

Their FoC dino's are aces bro & I bet you wouldn't complain if they did a FoC Trypticon.

I'm sure plenty of people would complain about it

Didn't say they wouldn't. Talking just about X.

Most of them look really nice (don't like their swoop), makes me wish hasbro had spent some more time on grimlock, so he's not a hollow chestplate, with an ugly pseudo-tail

A trypticon would be cool because its a character everybody else is ignoring. On the dinobots, I dont see a point in cybertronian dinobots with basically the same dino alt modes. If I was going to follow a fiction where the dinobots were not built on earth, I would prefer the "War Within" designs in classics scale. Im going all in on the fansproject dinobots. They are just flat out better and cooler in my opinion.

Awww! Those would be so cool! I got through highschool reading that book; I loved the designs, especially trailbreaker, and the stegosaurs cybertonian mode with the single tread with cannons attached to it. They also had epic designs for devs and trypticon I really wish hasbro had made some of them

Huh, I like it. Probably the microscopiest Perceptor we've ever had, save for the dreadful KFC figure. Provided I don't get RTS Perceptor in the meantime I very well might buy this. Planet X have proved themselves to have consistently fantastic QC and awesome engineering, and the design on this is awesome.

Wow, so this makes three new upcoming 3rd party FOC figures that are coming up that aren't Dinobots.


Very cool.

What are the others? Or are you talking about the legends scaled figures?

War Within vs. FOC is a generational thing I think.

I like the FOC Dinobots best of the 3rd Party Classics Dinobot options. All the G1-styled Dinobots are off because the companies are afraid to go full-G1. At least FOC is true to the concept, and they fit in really well as Classics updates, albeit Cybertronian-style ones.

Another company is making a Voyager FOC Optimus Prime and Voyager FOC Shockwave. There's a thread for Shocky in this very forum.

What we really need is an FOC Megatron.

oooooh, I could get behind that, I loved his new design; shame hasbro spent the majority of that line producing those crappy disc figures for those dumb-lump soundwave figures. Wish they had done a proper figure for megs, they did so well with most of the other characters

Plus, the FOC Megs design would weirdly fit into almost any collection.
