I skipped SS Perceptor for several reasons, but Magnificus has my interest.

 

Same, now if they do a IDW Perceptor then I'm interesting in getting the mold as Perceptor.

 

*cough* *cough*

or just straight up trade perceptor heads by disconnecting the hinge
*cough*

I mean, I'll get him. Just still slightly bitter it's not the TR version that would come with Ganymede.

 

Man, he looks so good in this deco. Trying to convince myself I don't need it

 

Preordering this guy the instant he shows up on Amazon!

 

Don't Gen Selects figures not typically go up on Amazon? At least not sold directly through Amazon.

 

After that I decided to get Perceptor after all, I ended up impressed with him, more than I expected, this is one that I'm kinda happy to see and will be getting.

 

They are, that's how I got my Siege Deep Cover and Combat Hero Megatron. I didn't pay shipping on them so I assume they were sold directly from Amazon.

EDIT: Amazon also sells some of the Buzzworthy stuff too.

 

So SS86 molds are eligible for selects now! Nice.

…so can we get Stepper next?

 

Faceplate head is definitely an improvement IMO; the treads also look way better in black.

Oh man, that didn't even occur to me, yes to Stepper please!

(Although since we are supposed to be getting Brawn in SS86, I guess it was inevitable that it would happen, since we will more than likely get Outback as well.)

 

Outback’s a good one. Maybe a Targetmaster Kup too?

 

3rd Party sellers on Amazon. Sometimes you can get them for a good price.

 

I'm glad this release is just the perceptor repaint. I have no interest in G.I.Joe figures for the "gameade" or whoever microman character

 

Preordered on HP

 

Wish this was releasing at the same time as holiday prime

 

It's why I'm disappointed this wasn't done with the TR figure instead. Ganymede would have been the head and all would have been well with the world. I mean, this is fine...but not the ideal. Oh well. I can pick one of my Dianauts to be a stand-in, I guess.

 

I have a original eHobby Magnificus and have been wanting a Generations version for a while.
I didn't care for the old CHUG Perceptor so I skipped that.
I hoped a Titans Return Magnificus would have happened, but alas.
I have a hard time with SS86 Perceptor; he's bland and simple with that toon deco; in the same way, Magnificus is not impressing me.
I think it boils down to the lack of chrome, paint apps, and the missing weapon.
This toy is going to require additional purchases to be the Magnificus I want him to be. Some don't mind, but to me that is the singular worst aspect of Transformer collecting in the modern era - upgrades to do what should have been done.

I agree about the chrome. But the decals are pretty minimal, even on the original. There's really no good place to put his thigh stickers, either, since it hinges and has a twist joint in them. A more robust rifle would have also been nice. They molded an extra head so it would have been nice to mold an extra toy gun into the sprue.
