Via beerfish of ACToys we have our first look at another new Generation 1 reissue set. The Autobot Intel Ops set packages reissues of Perceptor and Blaster along with Blaster’s cassettes Ramhorn, Steeljaw, and Eject.
All five toys are in their classic, Generation 1 decos, unlike the more eclectically painted reissues of Astrotrain and Blitzwing who are also in the pipeline. What is interesting is that there are what look like slides in the packaging which just might be used with Perceptor’s microscope mode, which fits in with earlier reports that there might be something “special” in the set involving the microscope.

Question: since there do seem to be many KO's out there of recent products, anyone familiar with a KO of this one? I ask because I found this on ebay & the price point & quantity make me quite curious: Transformers G1 Autobots Inter Ops BLASTER & PERCEPTOR Gift Kids Christmas Hot | eBay

That isn’t a re-release, thats “I found some in the warehouse we forgot about.”
Back when TRU tanked, they were selling all the things they had in their warehouses to empty them out and make a last little bit of money. They had a lot of old shit that just sat their and was forgotten about, and BBTS picked some of it up.
The 2007 TRU exclusive Allspark Power Inferno and his wavemate Mudflap are perfect examples.

I think, so far, all we know is that it's coming back in stock at BBTS by end of June. I haven't seen anybody else listing it, so it may just be a bunch of remaining stock from the original release that's becoming available again.

Yeah man – Transformers Platinum Edition Autobot Intel Ops – Perceptor & Blaster
I just learned about it myself in the new Walmart G1 Fanvote Poll Thread for 2020: Another Hasbro Reissue Vote

This set is getting a re-release?

With the coming re-release of this set, if anyone has an extra that they picked up on the cheap and wants to sell it, throw me a PM, please?
(If not maybe it will be my turn to luck out with the new restock…) Thanks in advance.

$45 is a steal. Considering I got Commemorative Soundwave for $30 9 years ago, and Blaster is bigger and includes another cassette… yeah.
I'd say $60-80 is fair for the pair. I'm very excited (I also got a damaged packaging one for 45. Well, "opened and checked to make sure nothing is missing").

Thanks for the heads up, got one for $45. Damaged packing, but that doesn't bother me. This should have been the price all along.

So… on Amazon this set is basically $50ish shipped now from several sellers. I honestly don't get it.
Just an FYI if anyone was on the fence.

Excited this is coming to Target! If the conehead set is any indication, they'll be well stocked. Big plus for the 5% off for redcard use too.

So…the source location is calling them "Jetfire" okay then.

Eh, the last reissue of Perceptor looked pretty rough to me so who knows how much further the mold has degraded…
HammerOfThor
I've always wanted Perceptor growing up, this is as good a chance as any to finally get one!

I'm still curious, too. What an interesting new accessory. They could have added nothing, though I'm sure a lot here woulda preferred Rewind.
