I just found that RobotKingdom seems to have some more info on Perfect Effect's "PE11 Camera Set".

Check these images out from RobotKingdom, don't think we've seen those before:



(I can't make the second image work with the square brackets in the filename)

Also, it seems we now have a tentative release date of late March.

And a cartoon-accurate colour scheme.

That's gonna make an awesome display piece in alt mode.

Site sponsor Robotkingdom.com has images of the 3rd party product PERFECT EFFECT Camera Set (PE-11).

According to Robotkingdom this set is due out in late March 2011, but there has been no size given, or even an estimated price set yet.

Check out the images below! You can see the 'For Reference Only' page here at robotkingdom.com.

That is freaking awesome. Was on the fence earlier, but the way all the parts combine to form the lens, and the stand, hell yea.

[Cyber Bishop]

Very nice.. Melikes the concept art so far.

[El Duque]

Instant preorder.

[ArmadaPrime]

this must be mine.
if this is life size that would be legendary.
also, why is this not on the toy news page?
EDIT it is now

[whacko]

Hmmm. I was hoping that they would have made the camera mode a little bit more realistic and less like it was made out of Lego. I will have to think on this one, but price will be a definite factor.

[Oilspill]

I like how they've stuck with the cartoon colours, which make a more cohesive combined mode, but NotSpectro and NotSpyglass have the red and blue highlights on their arms, as a nod to the G1 toy.

[El Duque]

I'm just glad they are releasing the G1 colored version right off the bat, rather than some all black stealth version or something of the sort.

THATS WTF IM TALKING ABOUT !!!!!!!

Straight up G1, no stupid vechicle or gun modes !!! They said they are gonna do a Soundwave in the future right ??? Hopefully he turns into a boombox, maybe they can do a real Blaster too !!!

If you want G1 accuracy then you certainly don't want Soundwave turning into a boombox.

Boombox/tape deck, its all good just want him to transform into something from that B-Boy era. You remember RUN DMC, Adidas, rope chains, vintage 1985. G1 accuracy with a modern touch is always cool. I dont expect too much from Hasbro because they gotta keep the kiddies entertained to buy toys. But when I think 3rd party, G1 accuracy is a must. I dont shell out 100 bucks on a figure with an alt mode that loses its G1 appeal.

Agreed.

LEGO??!! WTF? The only way I think this doesn't look realistic is in the colour (who wants boring black anyway?), and the flash which looks like it doubles as rocket pods.

I'm finding it hard to not just fill this comment with positive cursing. There's no way I could settle for the Generations Perceptor remold and not want to shoot myself in the foot everytime I looked at it. Instant pre-order.

[rpetras]

WANT!!!!

[AutobotMR2]

Must get these guys!!! I hope the price isn't too outrageous, since I love my wife and don't want a divorce Plus I love theat they look like a small fully loaded swat team. Must be compensating for lack of a battle ready Alt mode!

[kirbenvost]

Whoa. That looks pretty freakin' awesome. I wouldn't mind that. We'll see how much it's going to cost.

[Wheeljack35]

I love it but with like all the rest its going to cost alot

[LOST Cybertronian]

Very nice, I am guessing this to cost around $120-$150.

[DevastaTTor]

Ok, I'm in.

[thedriod]

I wonder how many of the customers of this product will turn it into a camera by attaching a micro camera on the lens then a piece of glass over it to simulate a real camera?

I would if i could, we already have 3rd party transformers music players, now we might be able to have transformers cameras with a little work.

I'm thinking less. The Sundor/Eject/Rewind/Garboil pack has four slightly smaller figures and at least as many accessories, and it is selling for $85.

I'd hope for around that, it'd be a pretty good price. Of course I think PE would make a heap more sales if they could get the price down to about $70, but that's probably unrealistic.

[juxtapose519]

I've never bought anything 3rd party in the past aside from small accessories because it's all so damn expensive. This, however, I have to have regardless of cost. I'm pre-ordering ASAP.

[MightyMagnus78]

Personally I'd rather have a G1 reissue, but it's certainly nice to see Reflector finally getting some love!

[NTESHFT]

When will this be up for preorder???????????? I gotta get one. I never was able to get the original or the reissue, so this is a must have......


And as for the "Lego" look- I believe that's just a digital image, and I'm sure the actual product will look different.

[Rodimus Minor]

He looks good might buy if it is a reasonable price
