Well first. What Bulkhead was looking at wasn't exactly microscopic, and secondly, I was mainly referring to G1.
He should have turned into punctuation. But seriously, I think Perceptor looks awesome, hopefully he's still a triple changer in his toy incarnation.
Awesome Love it. His big head must symbolize how massively smart he is. I love how these Animated guys have so much personality in their design.
I can't believe that there are actually people who are upset that Perceptor isn't specifically a microscope. I didn't know that there were that hardcore of fans of Perceptor. Even then, technically he still is a microscope; just now he's a microscope carried around in the back of a kicky little pickup. Though, at that scale, it does kind of look more like a telescope then a microscope...But then he could both. I believe there were moments in G1 where Perceptor was used as a telescope. So it's all good.
Glad they put Perceptor in, but i'm not liking his look as much. He doesn't seem to get the G1 spark like the rest......
It was never said that Beachcomber was cut for time, it was that his lines had been cut for time and even this wasnt put forth as being a definate it was a ase of "I believe" that his lines had been cut for time. Anyways the Alt modes are good based of the pics in the comic I was alittle worried that he had an actual Microscope G1 style as his alt mode and I personelly like how in Animated they have steared away from the accessory bots.
Love this vehicle mode. Such a tight design! Getting a real Syd Mead vibe! Love all the angles in there... This is some of the most amazing 2D TV animation design ever done. Kudos to Derek and the design team!
I always use the Reflector team as the most extreme example of this..I transform into a fighter jet what about you? Me oh I have a battle tank alt mode, hey what about you mate what do you transform into? Oh I combine with my two buddies to form a camera.....
I like that though. I think of it as showing an incredible range in alt modes. Not everything on Cybertron had to be a tank or a fighter jet. It was a planet. Just like on Earth not everyone is in the army or air force. Some Transformers were probably boring with their alt modes. But it was how they used their alt modes that mattered.
Preceptor actually looks great....i reallly like the microscope mode.... it's alot like the g1 ironhide/ratchet battle station
I hope he's just like energon ratchet where he comes out of the shell and there's Perceptor and a lab station!
Pure awesome! Definitely need a toy of this one. Especially since he appears to have a earth mode already. Bring it on!
awesome. the idea of a science lab from the car is very clever, makes way more sense than the original tank/microscope (that made sense in the microman line where peceptor originated of course).
