I'm sure you've figured this out by now but, the legs do lock in both in the tank mode and microscope mode. It takes some force(less if you have everything aligned just right) but they do lock in nicely.
FansToys........" What is Best in Life? " .......To crush Xtransbots. See them driven before you. And to hear the lamentations of third party transformers!!
@16:41 The legs do clip how you have them, but they are super tight. One side clipped in just fine but the other I thought I was going to snap the leg in half if I tried any harder.
You said there was a lot of improvements from v1 to v2 "Tesla", but you didn't seem to go into detail, unless I've already forgotten. It would've been nice to get a side-by-side comparison of all the improvements from the previous model.
Good review. A quick question though, the promotional pics show a red connector piece / hinge between the square chrome part on the ab section and the top of the groin (where it looks like a capital 'U') which isn't present in the review - possible factory mode mistransformation?
No, its actually part of the transformation, not a neccesarily step though. But if you do it youll be robbing yourself of a waist swivel just to get a red square on his crotch. Its down to the priorities
I just watched the unboxing video on the official Fans Toys channel, it's part of the transformation (shown just after the 1 minute mark): ua-cam.com/video/0FzFd0vYgYQ/v-deo.html
Oh man I thought I had paint chipping on the legs. How many times have you transformed him prior to this video? I have only gone to microscope once and cried a little.
@@antonb348 I have more chipping on the legs and arms. How ever they applied the blue was not good. Fanstoys sent me out replacement parts for what was scratched. But they are not different than what shipped with him. So when I know I will not want to transform him again I can swap out and he will look new again. Not sure when that will be I like to transform my figures a lot.
@@TheWickedOne5150 thanks for letting me know, I’ve nearly gone for the plunge a few times and he’s still available. But I also like to mess with my figures.
Trademark rights since its not an official Hasbro/Takara product, so 3rd party figures has to be called something else when they are getting sold. They get away with it becasue most 3rd party stuff is aimed for collectors, and its not that much money to gain in it and gives Has/Tak time to focus on other things
Thank u Emgo! Your compliments to my artworks are always something I love!!!! Thanks from the heart!
You are so welcome! :)
If the heads were swappable between the two figures, I think 1.0 could rock the IDW head pretty nicely.
8:17 THAT is a FACE right there! 🤣
8:28 All of a sudden I'm thinking of Al Snow back in the day. "WHAT DOES EVERYBODY WANT?"
I'm sure you've figured this out by now but, the legs do lock in both in the tank mode and microscope mode. It takes some force(less if you have everything aligned just right) but they do lock in nicely.
I don’t know how but seeing this is leaving me excited for the 86 Preceptor!
I keep thinking that instead of Squirrel! Percy would probably say something like “small earthen rodent with a bushy tail!”
Hey man, is your Generation Toys Foo Fighter on it's way? I'm looking forward to your review of that as well. FINALLY.
I love the fact that Perceptor comes with so many different heads, because he is always "Getting a head of himself."
Great video Emgo, love the editing with the extra heads sequence!

Your transformation descriptions are easy to follow and second to none. Thank you.

Something that struck me during most of this review is how really bright blue his eyes are. Those are Electric Blue!
"that's a lot of head" -Emgo out of context 2022...
the XTransbots version is more color accurate to the original toy, but man Tesla 2.0's red is gorgeous
Very nice vid as usual Emgo. This toy looks awesome
You said there was a lot of improvements from v1 to v2 "Tesla", but you didn't seem to go into detail, unless I've already forgotten. It would've been nice to get a side-by-side comparison of all the improvements from the previous model.
Just seeing them side by side you can see the improvements. I did side by side comparisons in each mode.
11:48 got this figure today. It does clip in, but may require quite a bit of force.

It's an optional piece that makes him more cartoon-accurate

11:49 Bend the thigh a bit to tab in to square off
Thanks to your review I just bought one for $150 aud. Looking forward to getting my hands on it.
5:26 That gun looks like a Beam Rifle from the Gundam franchise.
It's specifically reminding me of the one used by the Guncannon.
8:25 That's what she said.
19:34 EmgoSpudgers (TM) - for all your spudging needs!
emgo there are tabs in to secure it in alt mode and a wheel tap in the back to stabilize him
With that many head options, I wonder if Tesla is an Al Snow fan?
But we do not turn it to toaster ovens. That would totally be something Sheldon Cooper would say if he was a Transformer
There is a way to lock the legs. I figured it out on my copy. It’s a very tight space between his knee pits.
the head swapping gag is amazing 😂
The ball joint is on a thumb.
Oh man I thought I had paint chipping on the legs. How many times have you transformed him prior to this video? I have only gone to microscope once and cried a little.
It has been sometime, how is the paint on this figure now?

Emgo did you ever order the Golden disk warriors Terrorsaur? The Amazon exclusive figure.
Hey emgo Have you ever heard anything about fortress Maximus and metroplex being combiners
The skit @ the end…
Ah-HaHa ✨🤖✨‼️
So he transforms from being in scale with his own kind to a microscope in our scale.. mind-blowing meta!
Gotta love that mass shifting lol
1.0 is idw, and 2.0 is g1
The legs will lock. Just have to push a little more. I was scared when I got mine to tab in
Emgo I don't know if you found out but the scope can come off it's extremely tight but it slides on and off
Man, I love the paint finish on these premium figs. It’s so…premium 🤓
So glad this figure rereleased just recently nabed it for my self
Buttwheel? He’s got truck nuts!
Without the dials on the arms and the microscope on his shoulder I think he looks like Orion Pax.
Another Cybertronian tank mode but it is what you can do
Can you use idw heads on original preceptor? The stylized body shape would work well with that look
it does lock at the bottom
"That's a lot of head" -Emgo 2022
I've seen another UA-camr use the knee joints to get the clearance to tab legs together then bend the knee back. You should get better results.
He was Sheldon Cooper before Sheldon Cooper was Sheldon Cooper
Nice as it is , his asking price is killer .
God I wish I could afford these. I just want my buddy Grimlock to start. My favorite.
At least Perceptor is tolerable unlike Sheldon.
You did something wrong. It’s way more solid in microscope mode.
It's a metaphor perceptor
When are you going to review generation toys foo fighter
whenever I have it in hand. don't know when that will be.
my favorite secret triple changer got 2.0 😄
Does the belly plate work as a reflective mirror like a real microscope
No it doesn’t
You made me get this.
Nice
Now we need the mini actions figures 😅
But Prime! What's a Meta for?
This this is soooo shiny 🤩
I had to Google Sheldon Cooper, 😂 now I know why.
Still better than a cyber truck
I like g1 cartoon design
Ha! The Sheldon Copper of Transformers…
The tank mode is a bit pointless especially since his canon is backwards ha ha.
Looks more like a "space rover" to me
A bunch of transformers are arguing about who has the best transformation and Perceptor has to sit down because that is his alt mode.
Thought tank was est other mode..combat rules
More Lenard of transformers
I personally think XTB wins in toon accurate proportions
Its an ok only...... just that vehicle mode so.... hmm.
Blaster has a brother who turns into a toaster.
@@TAURON85 Cos the end skit mentions how nobody turns into a toaster.
Awesome
Epic
elon musk's favourite transformer
cool
Atleest he can drift
08:27 🤣😂😅
Xtransbots looks way better to me
FT can't do face sculpts to save their lives lmao
does this figure have die-cast parts?
Why is this called Tesla again?

You should keep spinning the figures when you transform them
I doubt his logic
How many tries do you need to make a perfect version of a figure from 38 years ago?
Looks pretty meh...
I actually like the 1.0 version better
This toy looks good , but literally sucks .... you need to unscrew to replace head .... stup*d design !
