    I would imagine this figure will eventually make its way to the West as part of the Collaborative line just like the Street Fighter figures

    not the greatest robot mode but its been a long time since everyday items and objects were part of the brand...other than Blaster and Soundwave related...guess its tough to make current tech into pleasing toys since its mostly tablet or phone or tiny watches...

    damn he is really cool! I wish his head was bigger, but that's just a nitpick. I wonder if he'll go on clearance?

    It might, but I suspect that it will not because it's way too expensive compared to other collaborations.

    Not sure if it's anymore coherent, but here's DeepL's efforts


    Story of Reflactor R5
    Decepticon Reflactor R5: The False Pretender
    On that day, a camera was brought into a government facility in a European country. Wrapped in an alloy housing and tempered glass, and protected by a heavy security system, it appeared to be a Japanese-made "EOS R5". Currently, the existence of the EOS R5, code-named "Focus One," which has a unique energy after a certain incident, has become the focus of secret attention among defense agencies and spy organizations around the world. Could this be that special camera? Too bad, you got me! The fixed camera emitted a mechanical voice, broke through its protective shield, and transformed from an EOS R5 to a 4-meter-long ropod! It is the Decepticon Reflector R5. After stopping the movement of the people around it with a stun ray, the Reflector hacked into the brain of the aliens and stole the research records of "Focus One. This was a strategy to find out how many organizations were tracking the camera. There were more rivals than expected. But at least one of them was destroyed. He took out a dial-shaped machine from the lens on his chest, opened a dimensional door, and disappeared from the scene. He left behind a special electromagnetic pulse bomb. -The sequence of events began a few weeks ago when Reflector 1 came into possession of this machine--the Quantum Dial. Originally a dimensional movement device belonging to an OTOBOT, he stole it from the facility when it was on loan to the Earth Defense Force's research division. After testing the device, he came across an "Ospak," a sacred weapon that was being reverently dedicated in another dimension on the planet Cybertron, and took it away as an offering to his master, Megatron. The existence of the Ospaq was immediately discovered by the other topots, and they fought over it. We fought over it, and then someone's stray bullet hit the prize, and everything went to hell," Reflector recalls ruefully. Something happened with that explosion. The camera that was in the room had the power of an allspark, and for some reason, I began to transform into the same shape as that person's camera, an EOS R5. I don't know what's going on, but Megatron-sama has decreed that I must obtain the power of the sacred object at any cost. His current location is near a military airfield in South America. His current location is near a military airfield in South America, where a handover of valuables is scheduled to take place between the two chiefs. It is very likely that this is a trade for "Fojicas-Wangon. The reflector, which was seen through a telephoto lens, had its comrades throw a projectile at the target and rapidly approach it, transforming into a robot moat in mid-air and dropping onto the scene. "I finally got it!" But no, the EOS RS transforms in his hands and takes the form of Optimus Prime R5! "This time you're on the receiving end, Decepticon!" "Flym? You're on the same camera now? Optimus grabbed Reflectaichi by the arm, catching him off guard. First of all," Optimus said, grabbing Reflector I by the arm, "I'm going to need that Quantum Trial back. It seems you are only using it to create an escape route, but the device can do much more! "Ha! If you go too deep into dimensionality and multi-passing, you'll just end up spinning your wheels. My way is the right way! The Quantum Dial is said to be a unique device created by Melonicus, the unknown genius of ancient OTOBOT. It is a unique, supernatural black box that cannot be analyzed or duplicated. I won't let you have it! As the two men spoke the same words, backup reinforcements from both sides appeared one after the other. Let's not get rowdy, Prime. The quantum dial in the lens jingled and the dial rotated. The quantum dial in the lens jingled and the dial began to rotate. The dial began to rotate. This was the activation of the auto-dial function of the device. The reflector transformed into an EOS R5, shook Optimus off, and jumped into a small dimensional hole and disappeared. What a run! Optimus raised his fist and ordered all the men to withdraw. He's going to be a handful from now on...!

    Why is the only photo of Thundercracker holding a camera not even holding the camera that comes with Refraktor? That’s the money shot we’re all waiting for and we don’t even get that

    6589F605-3036-46B6-92BD-DC93735386DF.jpeg



    And just to expand these smaller photos posted but left as thumbnails, I’m quite happy with the size of Starscream holding Reflector here:

    A little on the large side, but way better than all the previous 3P attempts, and much more toon accurate than the MP-5G accessory.

    Just got mine! (^o^) Absolutely love it! The fact that you can remove the lens despite it containing the head and arms for robot mode just makes the figure for me. Definitley one step above the other random collaboration attempts. Truly a robot in disguise.
