Reveal The Shield Perceptor Bio

Never mind the bio, where's the instructions? I want to see "not-Perceptor" and see if they were true to their word about Reflector.

While some people seem to be fond of complaining about him not being a microscope, I feel this vehicle mode is totally suitable to a modern day Perceptor. It looks like the sort of craft you'd see rolling around a test site or snooping about a mountain where a new rare mineral was unearthed.

already got it pre-ordered, what up!

So ... he doesn't actually create anything but the Autobots take his technology for granted?

That sounds dodgy to me. For all we know he could be the guy who chairs a meeting on weapon development and that's his contribution. He gives the other engineers and scientists their orders and then takes the credit.

I can't help but now think of him as Dilbert's "Pointy Haired Boss"

Perceptor makes all the scientific discoveries that make such technology possible. A bit like the idea* that Einstein discovered how to make an atomic bomb but never directly worked on it.

*not a very valid idea, but that's besides the point

He's the Edison to Wheeljack's Nikola Tesla. One is the "greatest inventor of his age" and the other actually invents things.

Just one little question: What's an "atool" and how is it mine?

But yeah, I think he looks great. I'm really getting my hand on his chromed awesomeness. I bet YOU'RE thinking the same thing, eh? See that? I used a contraction of "you" and "are". "Your" is the possessive only. Never does it mean "you are".

Haha oh geesh.

Nope, his vehicle mode is actually inspired by his Animated appearance. I'm awaiting the revelation of the third Microscope mode it had, basically a truck with a Microscope in the trunk. And stick with the Hasbro version, for once: that version has lovely chrome!

And for all "He should be a microscope" whiners out there: the G1 toy had a third tank mode. So there

It's reveal the shield but then there's a big autobot symbol on the top of the packaging....
