I haven't had a Perceptor figure since the G1 days, so I'm definitely excited to pick this up. But he was always happy a lot in the show so I'm kinda sad he looks sad. Still not even remotely a dealbreaker, though.
I can already see the third-party gap filler upgrade kit. Hasbro even provided them a convenient screw hole beneath the head gap for them to use as a port.
Emgo has been doing this for who knows how long and yet he still comes out on top for me. Love your videos, don't care what anyone else says. You're still my favourite Transformers reviewer.
I got the Titans Return Perceptor as a holder for my 86 collection until this one came out. I liked it, but wasn't a fan of the Headmaster gimmick due to the fact that it's head was Perceptor's ball joint and that you had to remove his head in order to transform him so I was always afraid I might have broken him during his transformation. But this Perceptor I absolutely love and feel a bit safer transforming him.
I believe the reason why perceptor has such a sad look on his face is because of his biggest scene in the movie where he's delivering the sad news that Optimus prime is dying.
I see two notches on Perceptor's back, and two square recesses around the screws directly above them. There'll be an upgrade kit for his back soon enough.
Now, I’m not a masterpiece guy, yet… And that being said, this guy looks like he just stepped out of the cartoon to me. Gonna have to have him if I see him at the store. Ps: love your whole channel, emgo.
It may have been said before, but in that alt mode he looks like more like artillery than a fast offensive tank. That kinda fits more with his personality too cuz hes not a front line bot, but, attacking from a safe distance? Sounds very scientific and logical to me.
Perceptor was one of the my most favourite Autobot scientists 😃. I cannot believe that, Perceptor did have a fun gimmick, it was we can see our own finger through Perceptor's microscope body tube (even though not really visible 😅) 😃. I prefer Perceptor transform to microscope mode rather than 'tank mode' because Perceptor's tank mode was a weird looking tank 😬, so, if i have this figure, i will just transformed him to microscope mode 😀. Thank you for reviewing this figure, EmGo's 😊.
Hold on, Deluxe class? Shouldn’t he be Voyager? Anyway, I love you, my wife loves you (Is that the “Precious” guy?), and my daughters love you! I have two girls and they love Transformers. Makes me happy. And I’m pretty sure I got my own Mascot around somewhere too. Transformers, Joes, Lego..and EmGo! Life is good up here in the frozen northern midwest. 🤓😎🥶
Gotta have this one,got for my seventh birthday on the way to see the movie in the summer of 86.Since it's a deluxe I'll probably see it,I've seen all the deluxe 86's multiple times and voyagers at least once but never a grimlock/slag seems like Walmart don't stock many 86 leader dinobots.
This line FINALLY hit the shelves in my country and of course the one i want the most is the one who got sold out imedietally... i really hope i can find one online for a good price couse i love this design
Ordered mine through Gamestop a couple months ago and should be getting it by Tuesday. Been excited to get this one as I've been digging all the SS86 figs, and it's better than spending more money and time I don't have trying to hunt down the TR one. Perceptor is the last Autobot I need to have representations of my top 10 Autobots. In case anyone is wondering, they are from 10-1: Ironhide, Jetfire, Punch, Pereceptor, Blaster, Windblade, Sky Lynx, Optimus Prime, Star Saber, and Ultra Magnus.
i've learned to accept it lol actually I have a few add on kits that came with fillers. They do actually look way better with those, I just don't want to have to buy them for every other figure
I think the TR version is better overall - robot and microscope modes are about equivalent, but the artillery/tank/base?/maybe a telescope observatory? mode is more distinct, and has better support from the paint apps than the all-plain-red legs of the S86 version. Being able to swap shoulder weapons with Hardhead (and even put Hardhead into a nearly equivalent microscope fanmode, like twins separated at forging) is fun and funny too. The decepticon recolor I can't remember the name of even echoes the colors decently, if darker and desatured.
He’s probably sad because of all of his friends who were OBLITERATED in the first couple of minutes of the movie! I know I was. And of course, Prime’s prognosis. As far as having a tank mode..well, beats walking.
We've been through a few Perceptor reviews lately and I don't really dig the alt mode for any of them. I wish some company would start the design process with the alt mode and make it a believable (possibly working to some degree) microscope.
Does his upper legs lock in place when in robot mode because I can easily see the transformation part on them being really floppy and could cause the figure to be unable to stand
A breakdancing microscope. Twenty bucks says that dance move will be called... The Microscope Slide. (This hypothetical wager is non-binding, because I'm too cheap to pay up if I lose.)
A truly phenomenal figure deserving of being part of any G1 fan's collection? Too bad the chances of finding one is equal to the percentage of people who want it in your area subtracted from 100. 100-demand=chance Another remarkable video Mr. Gomez, you never fail to entertain.
I don't like that powdered blue color or the hole in his back, so I'm sticking with the TR version. The new one's height and head are better but still not worth $25.
I can hear Perceptor's line in the 86 movie when he gives Optimus' grim prognosis in my head when I see this figure.
"I fear the wounds are....fatal."
Perceptive as always with your reviews, Emgo.
I will not apologize for anything
Ahh I get it that’s funny
I haven't had a Perceptor figure since the G1 days, so I'm definitely excited to pick this up. But he was always happy a lot in the show so I'm kinda sad he looks sad. Still not even remotely a dealbreaker, though.
This was his depressed looking face he had the movie for like 2 seconds XD
He wasn't in the movie too long.
I can already see the third-party gap filler upgrade kit. Hasbro even provided them a convenient screw hole beneath the head gap for them to use as a port.

Hi Emgo316! Great review. He is a basic functional type of character whom we appreciate! Love that Perceptor Bloosh! @5:09
still no sad pacman which is saddening but the "BLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSH!" is still there gotta love the blooshing
Sad pacman only makes appearances on weekends
@@DewlayLomo oh okay
I've always genuinely loved preceptor's tank mode

After that moment, Perceptor pulled the plug on Prime and made everyone think he died.
The back is the only part of this figure I thank is a issue 90% perfect

Yes for combat he is a sniper
Me after watching the end skit: No, Perceptor keep going, we were about to figure out what rising was!
The “tank” mode is more like a telescope with treads.
That’s how they used it in Rescuebots Academy
Eh, I see it at a anti-aircraft gun.
That's exactly what it was back in 1985 too.
I see it as a mode to never display it in. 🤣🤣
It's a mode meant to interact with Microman figures originally.
He blinded me with Science Bloosh.
So close to learning what rising is to prime means lol

If you look on the TFW2005 mod boards you'll find a mod to cover up said back gap with just a few lego parts
Honestly he reminds me of longarm from TFA (like a autobot Shockwave and more emotional)
I wish that Perceptor came with a little mini version of his microscope mode to make it more screen-accurate.
G1 perceptor is so precious. I love all of the Chrome.
I love how you started with Out-of-Box instead of starting in the alt. mode. Thank you, so much.
I do in the transformation video linked in the description as well
Preceptor blasted me with Science... I feel a parody coming up? LOL

I’m pretty sure preceptor’s vehicle mode was used like once in the show.
The RISE never Ends
Great review!
I fully expect 3rd party vendors to give us a better head and a back panel that fits via the screw hole.
This line FINALLY hit the shelves in my country and of course the one i want the most is the one who got sold out imedietally... i really hope i can find one online for a good price couse i love this design

I like the G1 microscope mode the best.
Looks like Emgo has scientifically concluded that the universe didn't start with a big bang, but with a big ol' BLOOOOOOSH!
Found this very unexpectedly Yesterday at a larger Walmart 30 minutes away in a Black Friday 2-pack with Studio Bumblebee Wheeljack.
Artillery mode...closer to the truth I think! Lol!👍🤪
Finally another Perceptor
I really dig the figure overall, but those forearm gaps are a bit of an eyesore. Seems to be a trend with recent designs.
i've learned to accept it lol actually I have a few add on kits that came with fillers. They do actually look way better with those, I just don't want to have to buy them for every other figure

Can we get all the insecticons, Devastator a good Blaster with good cassettes and a Hound with Spike!!
Agreed :)
My perfect list for remaining G1 is:
Earth modes of Autobot Cars: Hound / Autobot Mini Vehicles: Brawn, Windcharger, Gears, Powerglide, Seaspray, Beachcomber, Cosmos / Dinobots: Swoop, Snarl / Autobot Mini Cassettes: Rewind, Steeljaw, Ramhorn / Autobot Gestalts/Combiners (same size as Combiner Wars Constructicons Devastator): Aerialbots, Protectobots ///
Deception Military Operations Commander Shockwave (G1 Lasergun) / Insecticons: Bombshell, Shrapnel / Deception Gestalts/Combiners (same size as Combiner Wars Constructicons Devastator): Stunticons, Combaticons
Got this guy for my birthday, on the 4th of March. When this video was posted 🥳
Didn't notice Perceptor looking sad until Emgo said it, now I can't unsee sad Perceptor.
I audibly laughed when you broke his legs lol
As of writing I have already picked up my Studio Series Perceptor. Cursory evaluation shows him to be a good figure
The bloosh of discovery
He looks sad.
Perceptor - "I fear the wounds are...fatal..."
great review EmGo!
The charlatan who declare Optimus' death XD
OH NO! I'VE BEEN BLOOSHED BY SCIENCE! LOL
Nice review! “Science boy” ! LOL
7:04 behold, siren head's brother, microscope head
I can’t wait to get mine!
He’s probably sad because of all of his friends who were OBLITERATED in the first couple of minutes of the movie! I know I was. And of course, Prime’s prognosis.

In the name of science....
BLOOOOOOOOOOSH!!!
My kid loves Science in all of his school subjects! I'll get him one of these as a gift! 🤗
{gets to the end skit} Oh, so we're bringing THAT back now, are we?
Bring it back? I never said it was done 😉
@@emgo316 are you doing a live stream today?
He's so smiley on the box art but so unhappy as a figure
Does his upper legs lock in place when in robot mode because I can easily see the transformation part on them being really floppy and could cause the figure to be unable to stand
A breakdancing microscope. Twenty bucks says that dance move will be called... The Microscope Slide.
(This hypothetical wager is non-binding, because I'm too cheap to pay up if I lose.)
HEY!! A transformer that can finally river dance!
I kinda hope he does TFA Blitzwing
He BLOOOOSHED me with Science!
The titans return version was pretty good
The tank mode looks better.
The Rise is back!

Another remarkable video Mr. Gomez, you never fail to entertain.
What state are you in cuz you are getting everything man my stores still have kingdom wave three figures even wave ONE
Prime finally finds a bot who can rise but he leaves because he is bored. I'm not sure even Prime can rise now 😨
The “tank” mode could be a mortar
"hurray for displayage!" he he he
F in the chat for that one guy who's mid-thigh joint is loose.
Gonna be so annoying to pose, let alone make him stand.
You can see mascot at 0:00
13:22 oh primus this again?
the rise never ends
@@emgo316omg it's you
I have a feeling preceptor was ment for the kingdom or legacy lines since he has too many peg holes
I think mode 3 is supposed to be a telescope
LOL! Managed to bore both leaders!
Is the microscope lens piece bloosh compatible
no it isn't
Just got this guy. 👍🏼
Dont think of it as a tank mode but a mobile telescope mode lol
Hello there.
I agree, great figure. Buuuut I wish the microscope cheaply worked liked the original and titans return figure. haha
I prefer the G1 Perceptor, less articulated but he is "working" microscope.
He is chucked full of G one ie goodness
The Bloosh returns 👍👍👍
Feels like Perceptor was meant for the Kingdom Line more than Studio Series.
Emgo,can you review if wei jiang optimus evasion mode is compatible with any mp trailer
But is the microscope bloosh compatible????
no it isn't
@@emgo316 dang. oh well
I am worried about the blue ball joints snapping in the arm :(. I just got the figure today
I hoping they make a SS G1 Blitzwing
Looks good but I wish, since it's from the 86 movie, it would be closer to how the original was.
Why is this figure not on Amazon?
Oh man, no tank mode comparison.
More like artillery mode than a tank.
I don't like that powdered blue color or the hole in his back, so I'm sticking with the TR version. The new one's height and head are better but still not worth $25.
why is there still a mode that never was for Prerceptor he never once transformed into a tank " in fact I saw him roll out in microscope mode
Likely a callback to the G1 toy.
This is so pretty
So is he considered a Triple Changer?
He's sad because his friends got killed
