I sooo can't wait for these guys to hit BBTS! Nice to know I'll still have stuff to buy when the movie line comes out.

Oh. My. Gosh.

Those are epic tiny warriors!

I want them, if they aren't too terribly expensive. :\

These look seriously awesome, except that they should've used grey instead of white.

Unfortunately like other Perfect Effect products, they're way too expensive for the size, I'm not willing to pay $100 for these.

Those are AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!

Mine should be here by mid-next week, and I can't wait. Man, these guys are small, but they are so friggin awesome!!!

The more I see these the more I want them.

Hurry up and get on my shelves!

wwwfrenzyrumblecom has uploaded a video review of the recently released G1 Reflector homage by PerfectEffect, PE-11 Scouting Force X. These guys may be small, but they pack a lot of heat! See his thoughts on the trio in the video embedded below.

Pre-order canceled!

Way too much money for something that small and unofficial. It's in scale with the rest of the Perfect Effect stuff, but it's not my cup of tea, especially for that kind of money.

Size really is their Achilles' heel. They're the Decepticon kids!

I've bought less for more, though. Plus, there's three of them.

To each their own. I'm not knockin' them, they're just not for me.

OK I admit the small size sucks. But they damn sure look good so Im glad I pre-ordered. Besides the TFC version is going to suck because they compromised too much G1-ness in robot mode to make him a more modern camera.

The TFC one(s) actually look rather nice to me. Ultimately we'll see which is the better toy, I guess. I wish the trend of people making the same things would stop, though. Arcee, the Autoscout, Nightbirs, the trailers, the Reflectors ... if everyone concentrated on different characetrs, we'd have many more products.

The smalless makes all TFC products iffy in my book. But I do like these guys for what they are. And I really think this set took some notes from FP's not-Bruticus.

same here....90 bucks....I don't think so!!

Funny how these are over-priced, yet the TFCC Ramjet is cheap enough.
I'd like to reward PE for a job well done in original design. Fantastic accessories, BTW. Everything stores in alt mode. At the end of the day - this is what PE does stylistically - and in that perspective: completely succeeds. Here's hoping they keep the production run low as a nod to the rarity of its G1 counterpart.

Hope Masterpiece Megs can hold this guy...

Holy cow. I knew they would be small, but I had no idea . . . The original Reflector team towers over them. Maybe I can envision them as one pumped-up badass Minicon team.

It's $40 cheaper after shipping. It's an official exclusive limited edition Transformers toy from the official Transformers fan club which is officially supported by Hasbro. I'll take it in a heartbeat over an unofficial toy that costs $40 more.

I actually kind of like that they are this small. I just with their small scale translated into a small price. I'm really looking forward to these guys.

I still think they fit in with classics figures. Yeah, they're small but they are basically minions to fill the decepticon ranks and at least they are bigger than the PE Rumble/Frenzy figures.

They look amazing.

PE makes some of the best small figures out there. What they've done with the engineering in these things is awesome.

Perfect Effect IS expensive. No getting around that. But it's obvious with all of their stuff (Ratbat aside) that a LOT of engineering goes into these things.

And in the end...they're cheaper than a lot of Mini-Cons I lust after.

Fair enough. $40 cheaper for a repaint of a mold that has been used frequently to say the least, is money well spent to some. While I don't harbor it, I can respect that POV. But to me, this "unofficial product" officially kicks ass in its originality.
