    I coulda swore I read a statement on here from someone at hasbro during toy fair that each toy had some type of "chest module" that could make it different. Too me anyways that led me to believe it'd be a bit more than just take small piece off and now its another character deal

    But that's what Reflector is. The animation models for Spectro and Spyglass were identical, and the only reason Viewfinder wasn't was because he had the lens in his chest.

    If you wanted to make them all distinct, just take the two leftover lenses and attach them to Spectro's shoulders. Now each have a distinct element.

    I guess I was hoping for something that made it more "toy accurate" and not screen accurate as they were one of those characters back than where you couldn't have it both ways. I know some people its not a huge deal and to each their own acourse.

    This might replace my perfect effect set for CHUG

    It's always bugged me. Just lately I have just seen more and more people mentioning about these being stolen

    I’d be willing to bet that at the very least there will be a Reprolabels set that will differentiate them.

    What do their backs look like? It would be really cool if they got the Universe Sideswipe/Sunstreaker treatment so they could have reversible torsos for a different look, which could be utilized for a future toy-accurate repaint. Isn't that kind of how the G1 toys of Spectro and Spyglass worked? That's how it looks in pictures anyway.

    I'm more nostalgic for the toy versions, but still very impressive. A part of me still find the overall silhouette lacking without a shutter button and overlarge flash, but I can get over it (though 3rd party additions would be welcomed).

    This figure is too small than Prowl and SS Jazz.

    Overall i'm happy with it, and the way they've approached it. Yeah, they're smaller than a regular deluxe, yeah the "vehicle" mode is on par with POTP OpOp with how awful it is, but at the end of the day we're getting a customizable and almost-accurate Reflector.

    His height isnt bad at all.  Reflector in bot(s) mode was short like that in the show.

    If you wanted it 'toy accurate' you would need to make three different figures and that's kind of cheating. The beauty of THIS figure is they're all the same figure and they can do this.

    Reflector was always a partsformer so having to do that to achieve every mode on this guy is fair.
