No, Perceptor does not go "Squirrel!" He goes "Observe, sciuridae!"

I believe Sciuridae would only be grammatically correct if there were multiple squirrels belonging to different species. If there is only one individual, or multiple individuals of the same species, it would be "observe, sciurid"

Originally Perceptor was a Microman toy from Takara. That is why he used to turn into a tank. He was a robot used by the Microman to ride as a tank.

He does have an ab crunch, by the way. You have to unplug a thing in the back. XTB posted on their FB page a handful of small things that got left out of the instruction sheet, and that was one of them.

It's true that it leaves it in the dust, chronologically speaking, but I bet if you were able to handle XTB's perceptor and FT's new perceptor at the same time, you would see where all that extra time went (that FT put into theirs). Wait till it drops and the reviews come out. I have a feeling FT is upping their game these days, if that was even possible, partly due to competition with XTB. Their new huffer is a thing of beauty!

I know why this perceptor comes with those mini figures. The episode where Megatron was carrying the heart of cybertron within his chest.

It was in season 2 the microbots episode.

I have a question about X-Transbots. Have their products improved, from a general point of view? I'm not saying they seem "bad," and they're likely one of the more successful 3P companies for a reason, but I have yet to pick up one of their products largely due to reviews demonstrating difficulties with things colliding and potentially breaking as a result. A lot of their stuff looks fantastic, but I'd hate to break one.

I have a ton of XTB stuff. The only thing I’ve ever broken is when I rotated Windchargers ankle the wrong way and snapped a piece (note, transformation and both modes still work). As long as you don’t do something dumb (or have the first run of their Kup which was QC plagued) then they’re as durable as any other 3P
