New images of TRU exclusive Perceptor reissue surface

Pretty damn sweet, especially with the Insecticons soon to come as well!! Definitely a must have for both!!

Ok, so why is this front page news? We already had this and the Insecticons 100% confirmed for later this year at Botcon... We also got prices, which I believe were either US$49.99 or US$59.99, but apparently Perceptor's missile does not fire (it is useable but has no spring-loaded mechanism). The way they talked about it at Botcon was almost as if past reissues didn't even have the missile, but I'm not sure because I don't own any version of this figure.

Excelent, can't wait! It shall be mine .

But on the "upcoming year"? Wasn't it for September? No problem though, and I actually prefer only next year... September will be a terrible month for me .

Cool! I have a KO Preceptor that is just CRAP. This will be great for my collection. A little black spray paint and my KO will become Magnificus....


Hasblow...why not create a new face sculpt? I mean there is new artwork, well sort of, so why not make a new head sculpt...

NO WAY! That's almost too good to be true. That's a must-buy, to go with my TRU re-issue Soundwave, which I keep in the box because it's such a nice package to display. I'm so glad they went with the same type of box for Perceptor.

Yeah, I also wondered about that because it says in the box that it isn't a working microscope, but I guess that's just to say it isn'ta real microscope, so it may still have that ~10x magnification it had .

It WILL be mine...oh yes...it WILL be mine.

Even though I have the G1 version I may pick this one up to display with my classics.

I'm pretty sure E-hobby Magnificus has the 10x magnification. I'm not sure about the TFC version.

This one has better packaging than the SDCC Soundwave, but I still don't like the 25th Anniversary/TFU stuff. All re-issues should just be associated with re-issue packaging - 25th/TFU are for updated versions. Anyway, I'll get this if it's around the $30-$40 mark. Considering the SDCC SW has four cassettes and a figure of about the same size, I can't see Perceptor being more than $50. Though TRU is known for having higher priced exclusives.

The TRU Insecticons will probably be closer to $50 though; since there's three and Habsro knows they're hot.

Finally ill be able to get Perceptor. Cant wait. Any word on price?
