[@MrFedoraFilm]

Studio Series 86 Perceptor looks awesome. Very G1 accurate from head to toe. His microscope mode is cool. Kind of wish it was a fully functioning microscope, but I'll live. His third mode on the other hand, as a tank.... sure, it's what the G1 toy did, but it's not interesting enough to promote. Remember for Siege Soundwave, his cybertronian lamppost mode was an easter egg under his figure packaging box flap closure. That's what Hasbro should have been. Have the Perceptor tank mode be an easter egg. Could have been just in the instruction sheet only. Anyways, it's good to see the Autobot scientist again. After his time being a headmaster and Reveal the Shield.

[@PerspectiveEnd]

Yeah, it would have been cool if he actually worked like the old toy, but what's here is good enough that it's not needed.

[@DragoonMS]

The head sculpt is what puts me off the most; I got burned by SS86-3 Blurr and his fugly mug. I refused to get SS86-2 Kup outright and will continue to hunt down Takara's LG46 Targetmaster Kup. Most others are fine, I guess. But SS86-11 Perceptor...that noggin is off-putting compared to the Titans Return one, despite almost everything else curbstomping the TR into oblivion. Like, I don't wanna get it and end up regretting it like I did with Blurr...except SS86-3 Blurr wasn't really much better than the Titans Return one in the first place; SS86-11 Perceptor is a few steps shy of completely incinerating the Titans Return one... As for the scope? Nope. The scope of SS86-11 doesn't work, neither do the dials. TR had a little bit more function in that the dial on the scope worked and could zoom in and out, but the lenses weren't any better.

[@PerspectiveEnd]

The head is off yes, but it's much more in line than it initially looked and it's not loathsome like the Blurr. How did that even happen with him?

I'm sure the Magnificus redeco (lemme know when/if this gets uncovered/revealed) should hide the gap in the back.

[@konstantinszelcs2766]

(I characterize my Magnificus as a scientist that used to work at/for the (shady) Cybertronian Institute until he got kicked out/arrested/fired for illegal experimentation regarding mind control, and he also went to the gladiatorial pits to develop his fighting skills. Is also a member of the Mercenary faction, and has a superiority complex.)

[@RHM087]

@@PerspectiveEnd I mean the way the arms attach to the base of the lens barrel or not; for the G1 and the Titans Return figures the teal parts of the arms that the dials are mounted/sculpted into attach to the base, while for the cartoon model the arms [seem to] stick up and have the bracket of the lens barrel floating between them, as seems to be the case with the turnaround of the microscope in the video.

A lot of those one-step changers or three-step Transformers are more toddler level really. What’s worse is that they tend to take up more shelf space than the proper Transformers figures themselves. If only kids today knew what it would have been like to grow up when the main Transformers targeted to them didn’t look so stale. Even those old legion/Cyberverse movie figures that came out were more fun than one-step changers.

If you were to give him a none microscope alt mode what would it be.doesn’t have to be an earth mode, but would preferably be one

[@PerspectiveEnd]

Probably a Vespa.

[@beeimusprime]

My local store is so shit at stocking figures they just put out 86 wreck-gar I will probably see this in stores months from now

[@PerspectiveEnd]

This is on Hasbro pulse right now.

[@beeimusprime]

@@PerspectiveEnd Hasbro pulse is not available where I live

[@FlameWar05]

As someone who collected as a kid I only got chug figures because the kid lines were stupid simple for me so I always bought chug so the tank mode would have been greatly appreciated

[@PerspectiveEnd]

I'm saying like modern kids wouldn't care about the 86 line because it's based on the old show, when they are attached to the movies way more.

[@LevityLeviathan]

the obvious retool would be someone like Magnificus or Quark. hell even Proxima. but personally i wanna see him retooled into Xaaron because Xaaron is gold. and i love watching others suffer

[@PerspectiveEnd]

So far the 86 Stuff has only been retooled into shattered glass figs, so we will see.

[@LevityLeviathan]

@@PerspectiveEnd indeed. I believe rumors are circulating of Ss86 hotrod being done up into Override? Overdrive? I can never remember her name

[@astonjones8375]

do you know when's the next devastator toy world review

[@PerspectiveEnd]

Hopefully by the end of the month, I got like 6 things to get through and then I want to get at that figure.

[@birddale5523]

Don Rattrap: We want you to keep Up production Of Energon Wine Perceptor: I told you Boosting production requires toxic levels of arsenic. I Won't Stand for it! Don Rattrap: Poor uh words Doc. King, Gen go for the Legs! Kingdom and Generations Rattrap proceed to bend Perceptor's legs. Perceptor: Ah, Primus Help Me! Don Rattrap: Now no more excuses or next time we cut off the Mushroom pegs on your arms. Percepror: Please No! I'll do what you ask. Don Rattrap: Good. Now back to pimping out my aunts Arcee.

[@PerspectiveEnd]

You've painted a brilliant little scene right there, Only one problem. There is no Generations Rattrap. Also why is he pimping Arcee, when he could be pimping Blackarachnia?

[@birddale5523]

@@PerspectiveEnd Cuz the leaks hinted that the mold would be used for three other characters.

[@garth8305]

I don’t know how I saw this but now I can’t unsee it: to me, perceptor has among us crew mates on his thighs

[@PerspectiveEnd]

They do look like that yes.

[@garth8305]

@@PerspectiveEnd Now perceptor’s thighs will always haunt my dreams.

[@m.otransformers4855]

damn, I haven't even seen him in my area, I see on some sites his released date keeps getting pushed back

[@PerspectiveEnd]

Amazon my guy. Amazon.

[@m.otransformers4855]

@@PerspectiveEnd I won't use Amazon, I won't give them my money, but no joke got half way through this review, I went to a couple wal marts, I just got back empty lol

[@PerspectiveEnd]

I know that feeling all to well, you have my sympathies.

[@josiaharaki7310]

Just found one of these at Target. Is it just me or... Does his tank mode have an eerily similar transformation to the Core Soundwave?

[@PerspectiveEnd]

I'd not noticed no.

[@younglinc9950]

3:24 how did you read my mind?

[@PerspectiveEnd]

Cause you are that predictable.

[@bonnie_158]

I didn’t even know he had a tank mode was that ever shown in the show or g1 toy it was a little before my time

[@PerspectiveEnd]

It was never in the show but it was on the original toy.

[@DiggitySlice]

"Little kids might be into this, but why would they be buying Studio Series 86?" Hasbro: *confused screaming*

[@PerspectiveEnd]

Hey if they are screaming in confusion, at least they feel like we do now.

[@godmagnus]

I'm super into using his scope as his head. Perscopetor?

[@PerspectiveEnd]

Sounds like a generic Drone.
