    Me too. Hasbro version, assuming it ever materializes. Reflector has never been a "must have" character for me, so I'd just as soon fill his roster spot with one inexpensive, space-efficient figure and call it a day.

    I can't see myselfy paying that much for these 3rd party figs because I was never a big fan of them in the cartoon.

    I voted for PE. The fact that they are so show accurate, stacked with cool weapons and add-on AND have an awesome Alt mode far outweighs the slightly smaller size for me.

    I need to see more with TFC's Reflector. So far other than being 3 bots that form a camera they don't say Reflector to me at all. I'm a sucker for show accuracy and these guys just ain't got it.

    That being said, if the TFC version does turn out looking like Reflector I will buy that one too.

    I am also buying Hasbro's repaint because I think in the right colours Preceptor will look liek one of the Reflector bots (Who I will make the leader of my smaller bot army)

    I think some site had a pre order up with the price ranging from $100-$125 per figure (I do not recall the exact amount) Don't quote me though, I am sure someone else will come with the actual info.

    If these figs are $100+ for a deluxe we will soon learn what happens when a 3rd party group breaks the unwritten "keep it under $100" rule.

    No dude, someone posted that some store owner got his order slip and it said something like "$25 down per figure, and the MSRP will not exceed $125" or something. It didn't have a set price at all.

    Meh. I always have to be reminded that Reflector is even a character(s) in G1 media. Now, I'm cool with small bit part figures making it big. Like Scrounge. But I have trouble mustering excitement for this character so the Hasbro repaint might be the one for me if it looks cool.

    Yeah, that'll be interesting...

    Hasbro only, if any.

    I can't see paying third party prices for what is basically the generic Decepticon drone. Hasbro it is!

    In the cartoon, he's a non-character, and I don't think the comics ever did anything with him, either. They're supposed to be three characters, though, and unless the toys can reflect that (pun not intended), I'm not really interested.

    PE. I like Reflector being small and I already know their quality is going to be great based on the Shadow Warriors and Ninjas I have. TFC's just doesn;t look right to me.

    This. Hasbro's supposed to be making a Reflector from Perceptor. No idea when (it was announced at Botcon with the initial RTS previews, but has now been passed by other guys that werent announced back then), but I'll wait for it. I'm not that concerned about Reflector to begin with.

    Ok this is the source I was recalling. I skimmed through the actual thread so all I had locked into my head where two points...no real set price and that $125 number.

    The good news reading the actual quote is that $125 is the highest price and that there is no real given price yet. I do hope these guys sell between $60 to $75 a piece tops....But now I am derailing this thread.

    I LIKE ME THE PE NOT REFLECTOR :)

    Gotta go PE. The TFC one does not resemble G1 at all. The different sizes is the nail in the coffin. I'll use that money towards their Devastator *gulp*
