There's one on Shapeways but it requires painting it yourself.

Sweeet, was wondering when this'd happen. This'll make Perceptor perfect

Hmmm, maybe it means that he'll be packed with another Titan Master like the smaller figures have so far.

That might make sense -- though in that case, who would it be? I can't think of any significant human, nebulon or otherwise tiny partner of Octane in the cartoon unless they're making Sandstorm.

A word of advice: Don't cheap out on the material. Order in Frosted Ultra/Extreme Detail or Black High-Definition Acrylate if possible, White Strong and Flexible does not hold detail very well. And given it's a non-load-bearing detail piece, the increased strength of WSF is useless.

Shouldn't that be Daniel as Arcee's head? I think the supposition was Spike would turn into Cerebro's head so Japan could get the same Titan Master the US got with Fort Max. But, I do not recall seeing anything official for confirmation on this.

Really hope that we can get Magnificus from perceptor!

So they're set for Xmas? It's gonna be a long wait

And Mainframe out of Perceptor? GENIUS!

Bumble with Excel Suit and Spike

After 30 years the Autobots have managed to weaponize the most terrifying thing in Human History...

Microsoft

"Foolish Autobot, dont you know Words can never hurt me?"

"Thats why we're gonna destroy you with numbers!"

"Multiply THIS, Megatron!"

Love it! (Ags drinks the MS Kool-Aid, just so ya know... )

You're right. We can officially mark this down as the 98th time I've gotten them mixed up this year.

No worries. I'm the last one to harp on this sort of thing.
(But, related to that, I hope we do get a Daniel and Arcee. I think we had a rumor at one point. It would be cool to get the Spike Exo-suit with Arcee face for it...)

Spike= CEREBROS aka The Re-Birth version

Yah, I think we got that squared away above.

Perhaps the new Headmaster for Octane just means a different little guy attached to the existing face.

It's kind of sad, but while everyone's getting all excited over the Targetmasters and Legends Sixshot and stuff like that, the thing I'm looking forward to most an underside shot of Roddy's car mode to use as a guide for modding my TR Hot Rod.

Here's the thing tho: there's nothing inherently wrong with it from what I can see.

Unfortunately, we already know the full details of LG Sixshot and he doesn't come with anyone else
