Thanks to The Arker and Seibertron.com member Real Devastator, we get our confirmation and first images of TRU Exclusive Reissue Perceptor. Perceptor as well as the Insecticons were first found in a Canadian TRU Computer listing, under the Reissue tagline. With these images, Transformers fans can expect Perceptor and the Insecticons to be arriving in a TRU in the upcoming year.

Re: TFU Perceptor - Box
I already have an original Perceptor and Magnificus (now my SG Perceptor) so won't be buying him again. However it is a great figure and if you don't have it I suggest you do.
Watch the first of my youtube series, Friends Transform.

Re: TFU Perceptor - Box
Ok, so why is this front page news? We already had this and the Insecticons 100% confirmed for later this year at Botcon... We also got prices, which I believe were either US$49.99 or US$59.99, but apparently Perceptor's missile does not fire (it is useable but has no spring-loaded mechanism). The way they talked about it at Botcon was almost as if past reissues didn't even have the missile, but I'm not sure because I don't own any version of this figure.

Pictures > Words. Like I said in my prior post, this is the first glimpse of what the Reissue box will look like.

But on the "upcoming year"? Wasn't it for September? No problem though, and I actually prefer only next year... September will be a terrible month for me

Sweet, hope it comes to the UK.
Do those images show the true colours? They seem a little darker than I remember.

Re: TFU Perceptor - Box
Cool! I have a KO Preceptor that is just CRAP. This will be great for my collection. A little black spray paint and my KO will become Magnificus....
Hasblow...why not create a new face sculpt? I mean there is new artwork, well sort of, so why not make a new head sculpt...

Re: TFU Perceptor - Box
NO WAY! That's almost too good to be true. That's a must-buy, to go with my TRU re-issue Soundwave, which I keep in the box because it's such a nice package to display. I'm so glad they went with the same type of box for Perceptor.

Yeah, I also wondered about that because it says in the box that it isn't a working microscope, but I guess that's just to say it isn'ta real microscope, so it may still have that ~10x magnification it had

Even though I have the G1 version I may pick this one up to display with my classics.
Not a sheeple.
Think for yourself, don't let the magic TV box and social media do the thinking for you.
Question EVERYTHING!!
Just because you have a youtube review channel doesn't make you special.
I look forward to attending a Botcon soon only to settle matters with several idiots in person (yes this is a threat).

Re: TFU Perceptor - Box
I'm pretty sure E-hobby Magnificus has the 10x magnification. I'm not sure about the TFC version.
This one has better packaging than the SDCC Soundwave, but I still don't like the 25th Anniversary/TFU stuff. All re-issues should just be associated with re-issue packaging - 25th/TFU are for updated versions. Anyway, I'll get this if it's around the $30-$40 mark. Considering the SDCC SW has four cassettes and a figure of about the same size, I can't see Perceptor being more than $50. Though TRU is known for having higher priced exclusives.
The TRU Insecticons will probably be closer to $50 though; since there's three and Habsro knows they're hot.

Re: TFU Perceptor - Box
I am totally rushing out and buying this as soon as it comes out. I have wanted a new Perceptor since my granparents threw out all the old TFs they had at their place, and I never got around to getting the TFC one because it's pretty expensive.
Excited!!
Edit: Oh yeah and I agree I wished they'd kept the reissue packages consistent, but it doesn't stop me from wanting it. At least the Universe packaging looks nicer than Classics.
