This sure has been the day for new posts. Earlier I posted on the recently released re-issue of the Decepticon agents, the Insecticons. I wanted to take a moment to post on another figure that is also being re-issued. The Autobot scientist Perceptor is also hitting the toy shelves as a Toys R Us exclusive.If you remember the old figure from back in 1985, then you know what to expect here. Perceptor transforms from robot to a real working microscope and back. He also has a third Cybertronian tank configuration. This form was never seen in the original television series. This was probably due to the fact that Perceptor was heavily portrayed as a scientist, and only in approximately five episodes did he see some heavy action as a warrior. As I never owned Perceptor, I have no idea how he transforms. However, being that he was in the first three years of the original toy line, I wouldn't think of it as overly difficult but it should definitely have the challenging yet simplistic charm of the old toys.
The figure should retail for between $30.00 and $50.00 (the same as the three Insecticons). If you are a fan of the old cartoon or toy line, he would be worth picking up. Even if you are not, it really is a great toy all around.
