Thanks for the great pictorial review William-James88. Finally, someone explained and demonstrated Perceptor's new specimen-slide feature. It's interesting as a novelty and I'm glad that it is unobtrusive. We need more G1 re-issues like this set. Well done Hasbro!

Re: Review of Differences in Platinum Intel Ops Blaster and Perceptor set and New Slide Feature

william-james88 wrote:While the Transfomrers Platinum Autobot Intel Ops set, featuring a rerelease of Blaster, Perceptor, Ramhorn and Steeljaw, has been out for a while, there hasn't been an in depth analysis to what this set offers over previous rereleases. The new slide feature has not been covered correctly elsewhere with reviewers making the dreaded mistake of not following the instructions.

Since he is now sold out at this product's exclusive retailer in America, it seems a lot of folks now have this fun new collectible and I will list the main differences with this release and go in depth for the new slide feature.

Firstly, while the box art is awesome...

Image

... no one has yet to comment on the dumb grin Blaster has. I guess he does really enjoy pummeling Decepticons, as his bio says.

Image

While the quality is not terrible, the grey plastic used for Blaster has the similar flecks found in the the plastic used for contemporary Transformer toys. You can see the reflection from the camera's flash:

Image

The grey plastic is also a shade more brown than the original release.

Image

Also, while the original mold indentations for the date and copyright are found on the figure, there is also a contemporary trademark stamp found all across Blaster's upper back.

Image

A significant difference over the original Perceptor is that his gun can no longer fire, which is customary for many reissues. However, unlike the previous reissue, there has been a slight change so that the missile will not fall from the gun when inserted for poses. If anyone knows if these missiles can still fire when entered in the original gun, please let us know in the forum.

Image

Also, Perceptor has an Autobot logo sticker in his abdominal area which is absent from the stock photo in the back. This reminds me, all stickers are preapplied.



Image

Image


Now onto the New Features!

The main difference between this and previous releases of the Perceptor figure is the inclusion of a whole new accessory for his microscope. He comes with six microscope slides which have diverse sci fi imagery, ranging from fractals, solar flares and technorganic cell as well as a blueprint for Optimus Prime.

Image

These six slides can be held by a case which can close.


Image

Image

This case, in the open formation, can be attached to Perceptor's back. It has four pegs which match with the already existing holes found on Perceptor's back.


Image

Image

Now, for viewing the slides themselves, I haven't found any review that has done this correctly. This is not how you are supposed to place the slide:

Image

While you might think that they are made to fit on the chest plate (which still works visually if you want to pose him in microscope mode), this won't work and the instructions instead indicate that they must fit over the smaller mirror.

Image

The slides indeed fit snugly over the mirror due to a molded indentation on the slide. The slide can only fit on the mirror when it is upside down.

Image

The gimmick actually works since Perceptor retains his ability to be a working microscope. Here is a messed up view of what you might see.

Image

Woah, let's back up a bit. Ok, so here is the tecnorganic cell slide placed on the mirror:

Image

And here is how it looks under the microscope. You will notice that it is reflected upside down.

Image

Now let's look at the Optimus slide.

Image

Here is what it looks like under the microscope.

Image

Image

Hopefully this helped highlight the new feature as well as explain how to get the most out of this set. I know I am having a blast (pun intended)!


Image

Image


Even in the original G1 Perceptor, the missiles won't fire. His gun's "barrel" has been remolded as such that the included projectiles are tight because it has some slack rubbing in to the barrel hence no firing mechanism.

I tried using the default missiles to the original Microman weapon (I have both weapons) version of Perceptor, they too are not compatible. The bigger shaft jams up the springs inside.

As for Blaster, yup, his decals are also preapplied. Same with the TFC version.

Too bad with the molding flashes, reminds me of Encore Onslaught. TT couldn't also fix that issue too unlike Devatar which was an almost perfect G1 re-issue.

Its a nice easter egg bonus with those slides. I wonder if there are excess of these to be acquired via ebay.

I don't know about any reissues, but the G1 Perceptor's gun never launched missiles. Unless you got the Japanese version. There's even a part of his instructions that state the missile launcher is only designed to hold missiles, not launch them.

Thank you so much, your comment made all the time dedicated to this review well spent. I am very surprised that none of the new functionality was adressed in any other review. These are well established toys, many know how they are, so what I found really important was to see what was new and I was quite impressed with how Hasbro made the extra accessories fit retroactively on the figure. Granted, it isn't a perfect pegged fit since the slides are heavy for Perceptor to carry, but it is a great effort on Hasbro's part. I feel this was a perfect way to rerelease these legendary toys.

Thanks for the info. Ultimately I'm still comfortable passing on this at the current price. I'll give it until Cyber Monday to see if Amazon discounts this at all.

I truly hope it works out for you. I was waiting till black friday/cyber monday as well and it didnt work for me since amazon pulled it from amazon.ca to provide stock in the states. If I cant get it at a decent price, I hope at least a fellow seibertronian does ;)

That stamp on the back of Blaster is distractingly ugly. Especially the CE thing. :roll: Was this even sold in Europe? I seem to recall reissue Ramjet having a similarly obtrusive stamp somewhere.

I still would have to pay almost 9% sales tax. I'm trying to be good and not buy everything under the sun, so don't really have a target price. I may bite at a sub $150 price all in.

That sounds super reasonable, I initially thought you were hoping for more around the 100$ mark for some reason. 150$ tax in isnt that much of a stretch in comparison, pretty sure it will work out for you :)

Written Review of Generations Platinum Dinobots Set (classic heads): Deco and QC issues breakdow

Postby william-james88 » Thu Nov 26, 2015 8:20 pm

Motto: "'till All Are One"
While the Platinum Dinobots set is still unavailable in the US, it has been available in other territories for a while, including Canada. It is even on sale at the time of writing this article at 100$ cdn (75$ US) at its exclusive retailer Toysrus. While it is unavailable online, there are still several boxes found in stores scanning the same discount (even if the price tag has not been changed).

Since I bought one set and had some problems with it, I wished to make a quick review on some points regarding this set going through each dinobot. Images of this Generations set, like the one below, can be found here.

Image

The main difference is the inclusion of the new classic styled G1 heads and that all five Dinobots being there at once (Slog had to be ordered off Amazon to complete the SDCC set) but there are other deco differences. In general, this Platinum Generations Dinobot set has less colour than the SDCC set except for the first one I will mention.


Slog:

Platinum Slog's arms aren't chrome. Also, the neck on SDCC's is slightly painted, this version is all clear with a fully painted head. However, this figure, aside from the head, has the least visible differences from the other G1 deco overall.


Strafe:

No picture has done this new head justice. He actually has a very long crest along his moving well past his head on from the front to the back (with the back being much longer). As for deco, the only paint on his arms is the yellow that appeared on the SDCC version (no green) and the back of the wings have nothing on them aside from the layer of chrome. There are differences in where the paint is applied on the chest where the Generations Platinum version has four dark grey/black triangles painted. What I find funny about the cover art is how toy accurate it is, and even includes the tails curved the same direction (a flaw still not corrected in this release), while the back shows a version of the toy with the tails pointing the right way.

Image

Image

Image


Grimlock:

This toy has some major quality issues. The robot forearms and shoulders split, where the molded halves connect, whenever they ate rotated. This can happen on either side or both (I returned a set for Grimlock and Slug and thus held two versions of each). One of the Grimlocks I had also had silver paint splotches on his red T-Rex heels and had a loose peg which made him unable to keep his robot feet connected to his forearms. As far as a difference with the SDCC version, this Grimlock lacks the red chrome and blue paint on his legs.

Image

Image


Snarl:

Snarl by far has the greatest difference with his SDCC self since all the gold chrome was replaced with standard silver chrome. There is no yellow found on this toy anywhere aside from he cover picture. Speaking of the box, the picture in the back depicts the translucent dino head having a silver streak across it but this is also absent from the final toy. The head is just clear plastic with red eyes.

Image

Image


Slug:

Slug also has no yellow or gold on him aside for his painted eyes. However, he does have the only tinted chrome on any of these dinobots, which is the blue on the dino's front legs, though the shade of blue will be different on any toy. I had one which had light blue on one leg and dark blue on the other. The tail joint is very tight and the plastic connecting the tail to the body is very weak. My first version crack while transforming and eventually fell off.

Image

So in general, while the deco is not as good as the SDCC Dinos (aside from Slog) and the quality is questionable on two, the heads are great (especially on Strafe) and the deco is still very nice with all the clear plastic and chromey goodness. We all had a lovely day together and I am overall very happy with this set. However, I did only pay 75$ US for it (plus taxes) and was lucky enough to get a replacement set.

PS: This is who is advertised on the back of the box:

I think they work quite well for Generations Dinos. With the exception to Swoop and Grimlock of course, but we already have a Generations G1 Grimlock, and the new TAV Swoop is a great G1 Swoop homage.

Amen brother. I shelled out the dough for Toyworld Grimshell and Muddy. Very pricey but it's what I'm looking for. Not this stuff.

I wasn't necessarily saying that I don't like them (I do, however, dislike the Grimlock mold. My FOC Grimlock will do). However, I would like to see something better.
