New Images of Transformers Magnificus (Black Studio Series Perceptor Redeco)

Tonyteo wrote:I'm the one bought and reviewed it. It sucks, it is exactly the same as SS86 Perceptor with a same gun, just different color and headscuplt. It is not even a figure from Shattered Glass line. The leaked item price was extremely high (40usd) x2 Perceptor's price as the seller claimed it was in like new condition, totally not worth it.

Thank Tony. Even though the toy sucks, could you take more photos of it, at various angles, and showing the new face well along with the same gun? I'm sure fans would appreciate that.

This doesn't ¨suck¨ to me. Looks like everything it is supposed to, just confused about the deception logo. Was he a con in shattered glass?

That's not a Shattered Glass version. He's just a Decepticon. SG Perceptor is the same color with an Autobot logo and a face. And I agree, it doesn't suck. The guy got a figure that may or may not even be released and he ONLY paid double a SS86 version.

What an insightful review. “It sucks because it’s the same perceptor but black. Yeah…that’s magnificus in a nutshell.

His helmet is pretty similar with G1 Optimus

Day 974 of waiting for Transformers Armada Masterpiece news.

The only official release (as a transformers) of the black perceptor mold I remember was the old e-hobby, which was a decepticon. homoging the microman original, by packing him with a new microman, Gameed I think? looked like he was dressed as Cobra Commander but without the mask. I could be wrong. Feel free to correct me.

There was also that 2010 Perceptor redeco for Generations, with the alternate head:

But yeah, people were hoping for SG Perceptor more, or something that officially pulls double duty.

Thanks for the info. To be honest, compared to many of the recent gaffes in the Siege/Legacy lines (Blitzwing, Astrotrain, cr@pple damage paint, Ironhide/Ratchet's feet/vehicle rear doors, etc), I wouldn't say it's that noticable?

The tank mode is wrong and it's very noticeable because what we have is not a tank, it's the mobile telescope (another one of the modes). So it can only recreate 3 of the microchange modes, not all four. And the tank mode was the main mold that interacted with the microchange figures.

Also, your post was removed. I was very clear, no more tealeaf/thief crap mentioned here. NONE. Do it one more time and you are gone. I will take no replies or further discussion to this.

LOL. Funny post - and I agree. I don't care if it turns into a tank, either - but for Magnificus it's part of it and it does that so I still don't see what the big deal is.

I agree. I'm more miffed that Ga'mede wasnt included. If I get this, I might repaint a spare Targetmaster as him and add more noticeable silvery metallic paint to his bits that would have them, instead of the possible "matte" styled effect Perceptor had.

I'm honestly surprised HasTak didn't make a Magnificus during Titans Return - they could've definitely made the headmaster component Ga'mede.

I do hope there's maaaaayyybe something else included with the package? I would find it funny and also interesting if they retooled a Joe figure into him.
