    In the IDW comic series, he reformats himself into a sniper after getting seriously damaged during a rescue mission.

    Not that I've been able to find.

    Again, not that I've found. Yet.

    See above. A lot of the stuff we all speculated/hoped might be possible just isn't, sadly. Doesn't make him any less of a great figure, but is a bit disappointing.

    He became a sniper in IDW's books, and a lot of people were wondering if he could hold the sniper rifle that came with Blurr to represent that.

    Peaugh, are you really sure the Animated inspired 'research mode' isn't possible? Because looking at the transformation in your video, it seems actually really easy to me - although I don't have the figure of course.

    1. Split the back of the truck (legs) in two parts..maybe it's even possible to position the upper legs/lower leg parts in a 90 degrees position (kind of like Animated Longarm in vehicle mode's legs)..hope that makes sense.

    2. Flip down his robot mode's chest to form a petri dish / table

    3. Rotate the light that becomes his gun and angle it above the petri dish to become a microscope.

    Maybe that's worth a shot? It's possible that this is somewhat similar to Tracks' flight mode in that it's only a halfway solution and is not a really accurate look, it just 'gets the job done'...

    Awesome review, peaugh. Now I'm just waiting for Perceptor to be released to the masses.

    KAGE- You got something there it looks like it could work.

    If you're super determined to get a microscope/mobile lab mode out of Perceptor, this is as close as you're gonna get to either:

    Can you clip weapons onto his knob/arm disk handles? Or maybe some point on the chromed part of his shoulder cannon? Looks like it's possible.

    I kind of think he doesn't need a microscope because he has scanning tunneling electron eyes anyway, Right??

    We haven't been able to figure that one out in full.

    "MR" probably refers to "Microscope Robo", Perceptor's original Microchange name.

    But the numbers don't seem to mean anything. Apparently, Animated Perceptor first showed up (I think in the US airing, because the Canadian and overseas airdates were much different) on June (6) 14, 2009, not May (5).

    So how long until the repro folks start pumping out Blurr's sniper rifle with a 5mm peg?:lol 

    Regardless he's an awesome looking fig.

    Peaugh, Can you pose Perceptor to be aiming the sniper rifle with both hands? And can he hold the two smaller pistols from Blurr or no?

    Paul Eiding commented on Facebook that he really enjoyed this review. Wow. A compliment from Perceptor himself!
