Toy Images of Generations Perceptor

Posted by Mach Nov 8, 2010 at 7:09am CST 46,445 views
The latest series of Transformers toys - Generations or Transformers United (Japanese version) are getting the collectors excited by introducing various characters that are paying homage to Generation One.

Thanks to Seibertron.com member - kotoys, we get to see the upcoming figure, Generations Perceptor. As we can see the Autobot scientist is getting an update for the alternate mode while the robot closely resembles his G1 counterpart.

Heavens to Betsy! Is that really CHROME on his twisty-knobs, chest and missile?

HASBRO? Doing CHROME?!?!

robot mode ain't too bad for such a dull character. Vehicle mode isn't memorable at all though.

I really like this Perceptor's robot mode, he has all the aesthetics of his G1 self, but more streamlined...his alt mode on the other hand WTF!!! couldn't they have made him a satellite or a lunar rover or something scien-freakin-tically for that matter...heck at least I am glad that we're getting a g1-ish perceptor period for it is a good time in history to be a Transfan :KREMZEEK:

I think they tried to mimic his third mode in the IDW comics.

i wonder if he has an unofficial 3rd alt mode (the telescope)like WFC soudwave... :-? :-?

Loving the dials on his arms, this is an incredibly good homage in robot mode. Alt mode is excellent too, don't think there are any half tracks in the classicsverse (and very few in G1 too) - arguably not Perceptorish, but he did have tracks + wheels in his G1 "tank" mode.

Nice use of chrome Hasbro, that's unexpected.

Now surely his chest is meant to have a faction symbol on it. Wonder if it will be there on the retail release?

Hey, is this perhaps the first shoulder mounted missile launcher in classicsverse? Awesome!

It would be really cool if there was a secret microscope or telescope mode similar to WFC Soundwave. He definitely shows microscope parts in robot mode.

Loving him and getting him on first sight. :D The vehicle mode actually pays homage to his Animated incarnation, designs even show him with the back transforming into a Microscope!

btw I hate to be anal about names, but this is a Reveal the Shield release, not Generations, as he has the rubsign on his hood.

Does his chest flip down, like on the old Perceptor. It looks like it does.

I know it won't be likely, but when then reuse the mold for Reflector, it would be awsome if the also changed that chest part to the oval lens Reflector had.

Skyfire has two. Hound and Sunstreaker have the option.

I really like the robot mode. They even put the microscope parts on his wrists eve though they are not needed for anything. This figure was made to be displayed in robot mode. I dont think anybody cares about the vechicle mode. They should have just gone all the way and made him turn into a microscope. I know kids wouldnt have found that "fun" but what about Scalpel ??? That figure was so delicate I broke one and had to exchange it at Target. It wasnt made with kids in mind in my opinion...

As do I, and it's an awesome vehicle mode.

Looks super awesome, except for two things: Needs a hand weapon, and his alt mode needs more color. Put some blue/green on there, and he's perfect. Love the shoulder weapon, the dials, the head mold, and chrome detail (?!).
