Funny enough in regards to Perceptor being a tank in DW and FOC his original G1 toy actually have another mode where you can position him to be in a sort of tank mode which is proven by the threads his legs had which is I think was a carry over from the original Diaclone toy he had. So in a way him being a tank in some series makes some sense because they reference that secret mode.
I miss that vibe of new updated versions of classic characters that look like more realistic versions of themselves, with updated alt modes that makes more physical sense but still fit the character. nowadays it's just g1 with knees and... the figures are good but... boring x)))
I'm 18, but school started for me too... =_= Also, I can see why Perceptor's a halftrack truck... He wants to go to places with his fellow Autobots while avoiding mass-shifting and being a stationary object in alt mode.
@@TheLazyEyebrow it is not about speed it is about mobility, also these trucks are designed to be all-terrain vehicles so that although it is not exactly fast you can enter areas where other land vehicles can not. also to be fair I think speed would not be a problem because through the generations we have seen stranger things in regard to alternative modes. Like Astrotrain who transform in a Train ... CAPABLE OF MOVING IN THE GROUND WITHOUT ANY RAILROAD. Or all capable of flying TransformersTransf both Autobot and Decepticons that can transform into all kinds of jets and planes that are capable of flying in space ... WHERE THERE IS NO ATMOSPHERE AND THEREFORE ANY CONVENTIONAL PLANE ENGINE, SUCH AS A TURBINE, FOR EXAMPLE. WOULD BE COMPLETELY UNUSABLE. I have always believed that the Transformers, when they scan some piece of alien technology like earth vehicles to create an alternate form that serves as a disguise, At the moment of transformation they only reconfigure their body to alter their physical appearance emulating the appearance and some internal components of the vehicle that they have scanned but in what refers to their internal functioning they are still purely cybertronians that is the reason why the Seekers for example can transform into F-22 jets (I think they were F-22 but I can not remember well that at this time later I looked for it on the internet) and still fly in space. So taking in acount that, Perceptor could juts ... acelerate, since his internal systems are still pure cybertronian.
i think the truck mode having tracks is a reference tothe g1 perceptor who could turn into a tank and thus had tracks wich did appear on his legs in robot mode also how on earth would the sight on his shoulder cannon work?
Insanely funny & great homage to ST4!!! Oh, and one of the best reviews I've seen by you, which is sayin' sumthin!! Even with the complaints, I still want that version of Perceptor... There's something about the novelty of it... Curious: How long did it take to film this?
Haha not many people se to get the reference = P Filming took two hours to set up the class room, an hour to film the "students", 15 mins to film the "teacher", 2 hours of editing, an hour of voice work, and an hour to make the door The rest of the review
Also war for/fall of cybertron perceptor wasn’t a tank and he also never transformed. And even if he was a tank it would make sense cause the vehicle modes they have are built into them so they don’t have a choice what they transform into
Pro Winder well, this guy is kinda just sitting here in a box and I don't have much use for him currently. if you're interested, feel free to PM me through on of my social media things
Oddly enough, This is a pretty cool alt'-mode for "Perceptor" & NO, That is NOT "Frenzy...!!" The (red) one is "Rumble, & the (blue) one is "Frenzy"...!! Well, According to a Transformers comic book which I bought back in the late 1980's, which showed (only) each Transformer's image & profile...!!!! It CLEARLY listed "Frenzy" as the psychopathic one, whereas, "Rumble", True to his namesake, was the loudmouthed bully & instigator of "Soundwave's twin-warrior cassettes...!!!! (This was a Marvel issued comic book by the way, & I'm certain that it was edited by none other than "BOB BUDIENSKY" himself...!!!!)
Where have you been the past 4 decades Fibrir vs firrib has been an ongoing debate since more than meets the eye used rumble for the blue one Also yes the original toys and comic did call the red on rumble but the cartoon was very popular itself and due to a misinterpretation of a note regarding rumble and frenzy the names ended up getting switched as since then it’s a coin toss about which name gets assigned to which bot
Awesome review. Never give up. Plus, I have an uncanny feeling that your name is Michael or David...hmm. Maybe its just this sinus infection that's getting to my head XD!
Haha not even close, I'm part Russian, Canadian First Nations, British, Irish and so forth and born in Ontario, Canada. However of all things I have a Spanish version of an English name = P
hahaha, I love the school skit. Also, I'm still in school you jerk. Nah, just kidding, well I am still in school but I'm just kidding about the calling you a jerk thing.
To be honest I pretty much enjoyable perceptor transforms into into an Arctic research truck I mean don't get me wrong I was microscope but his Arctic vehicle mode works better for the modern-day because people like the idea of transforming cars planes and trucks and all those other type of stuff instead of devices like cassette players guns and before any of you guys go crazy and say but those were the original almost yeah but there were mostly controversial
I think it works well as a triple changing mode but if mass shifting is in play then a piece of equipment works quite well for the character Also I don’t think they were that controversial sure megatron had issues in being a “realistic” gun but shockwave was pretty sci fi and soundwave usually ranks pretty highly in terms of popularity and even got an update as soundblaster and constant toy support up until that The main issue with the item alt modes is relevance due to the passage of time again soundwave has had near constant changes because cassette players just aren’t relevant to the modern day unless it’s explicitly a call back to his G1 counterpart Though either way I like the diversity in alt modes compared to everyone just being a car or jet and generally making them more distinct and have interesting applications of there alt modes
I saw that someone had Frankenstiened a WFC Soundwave and this to make a pretty awesome Earth Mode Soundwave here's a link transformerscharacters.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Soundwave6.jpg
Would people be upset if I said I actually LIKE RTS Perceptor's Official Alt. Mode?
I like the ATL mode
Fun fact: This figure was inspired by Animated Perceptor!
I honestly prefer modernized alt forms for the "role-play" bots and cons
They both look good
Nah it’s cool and the fan microscope mode makes him a triple changer
Damn-it Jim, I'm a microscope not a truck!!!
I'm glad someone picked up on the Trek reference = P
3:52 Awesome Star Trek reference there!

STRAIGHT FACTS!!!!
I feel the same exact way. I like the modernized and stylized versions of G1 designs. Modern toys now are just straight up replications.
I'm 18, but school started for me too... =_=
Also, I can see why Perceptor's a halftrack truck... He wants to go to places with his fellow Autobots while avoiding mass-shifting and being a stationary object in alt mode.
True but wouldn't he have to ride in OP's trailer anyway? Those kind of trucks aren't all that speedy = P

Oh gosh I've seen Star Trek IV too many times. I knew every word of that...
Same my Trekky friend
Great review and thanks for showing off the fan mode.
You're welcome! = D
How did the space orb turn into Frenzy?
i think the truck mode having tracks is a reference tothe g1 perceptor who could turn into a tank and thus had tracks wich did appear on his legs in robot mode
also how on earth would the sight on his shoulder cannon work?

The rest of the review
The rest f the review took an hour to film and half an hour to edit
But I like the official alt mode...
It's not bad, it just doesn't feel like perceptor, not to mention it's a pain to get it there
I Heard That Perceptor Is Getting A Titans Return Release
its great
He is an ACTUAL microscope!
There's a not perceptor made by fanstoys up for preorder that turns into a microscope
I admit the Star Trek homage twist caught me off guard!
(G1) Perceptor wasn't a pacifist, he shot plenty of times. Although, I doubt he killed anyone.
Yeah I guess you're right. He just never seemed to be the type that shot things.
But pacifist may have been spoken out of turn
It is weird that I like the alr mode better than the bot mode.
To be fair the G1 toy had a tank mode
I recently uploaded a TF review of a KO mp figure I got, I would like some advice
This reviews are cool! Why did you stop making them? :(
What!? I didn't stop? What makes you think that? I upload every Tuesday!
Sorry, my mistake, I was watching the Transformers video reviews and the one with the lastest date was from 2012, at least from what I found.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ok fair enough = P
The class sketch was awsome!
Thanks!
Awesome cutaway
(Pls answer) should I get him from a friend for 20$
Ehh it's not a bad price. Though a TR one would be better if it's a microscope you're really after
@@TheLazyEyebrow I have the g1 so I'm really after a update
@@BetterBrickStudios idk i still prefer TR. This particular one is probably say 15 for but that's just me
@@TheLazyEyebrow I'm getting him tomorrow!
Preceptor's a triple changer
no shit sherlock
Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home reference!! Niiice!!
I kinda liked the tank preceptor
Oh boy! Technically this makes Perceptor a quadruple changer!
Power Houz *triple changer
Lol best video ever!
Why thank you senator!
Would people be upset if I said that G1 Perceptor’s G1 alt mode is dumb and this is a major improvement cause it actually makes sense?
Also war for/fall of cybertron perceptor wasn’t a tank and he also never transformed. And even if he was a tank it would make sense cause the vehicle modes they have are built into them so they don’t have a choice what they transform into
That face reminds me of siege impactor (not the 3 pack)
Dang I missed out this looks really cool
Pro Winder interested in buying one? = P
Pro Winder well, this guy is kinda just sitting here in a box and I don't have much use for him currently. if you're interested, feel free to PM me through on of my social media things
Best sketch ever.
Hahaha glad you enjoyed = P
NOOOOOPE! No school for me! The strike is STILL going on! regardless! Good review! That school bit was a lot of fun! good job my friend!
Ah! Steel! Where and how've you been?! Tis been ages! And we should record soon! But that's besides the point!
The Lazy Eyebrow Reviewer INDEED! actually I am probably free tomorrow...
Will you be free after 4? I got a job now doing woodwork
The Lazy Eyebrow Reviewer Not sure! text me and I'll get back to you!
Loving it! Too bad the shoulders doesn't lock anywhere, that makes the toy feel like a poor knockoff
Now that you mention it, sorta
Good stuff
Still not going to school
Great review, except you showed Rumble...not Frenzy... #RIRFIB. XD I'll have to try that fan mode for the microscope. Keep up your reviews! :D
#RIBFIR forever!!!!!
I agree.I grew up with the G1 cartoon, the movie trilogy, and Transformers Prime.
Love the Ratchet part!
Lazy: I wish he turned into a microscope
Me: Yeah because nothing says Rodots in Discize like a giant microscope
It’s not like mass shifting has been a thing since the marvel comics
Oddly enough, This is a pretty cool alt'-mode for "Perceptor" & NO, That is NOT "Frenzy...!!" The (red) one is "Rumble, & the (blue) one is "Frenzy"...!!

Great review! I never found this guy or if I did I probably didn't buy him because of him being a truck lol
Percipter is in need of medical school
he's an electrical engineer not a doctor
Still he sucks as a doctor
Awesome review. Never give up. Plus, I have an uncanny feeling that your name is Michael or David...hmm. Maybe its just this sinus infection that's getting to my head XD!

here's a link to my other channel btw, i go by my real name there = P

I'll be sure to check that out
5:06 That's not how you pronounce Rumble.
hahaha, I love the school skit. Also, I'm still in school you jerk. Nah, just kidding, well I am still in school but I'm just kidding about the calling you a jerk thing.
I remember him being a scientist but the only pacifists I remember were beach comber and cerebros.
huh. forgot i said that. this was roughly 12 years ago where I was just getting into TF. I said a lot of inaccurate things around this time haha
@TheLazyEyebrow I'm just busting your chops, lol
Nice
Thanks = D
Bee- is an AAAA++++ student
It reminds me transformers animated proseptor

Also I don’t think they were that controversial sure megatron had issues in being a “realistic” gun but shockwave was pretty sci fi and soundwave usually ranks pretty highly in terms of popularity and even got an update as soundblaster and constant toy support up until that
The main issue with the item alt modes is relevance due to the passage of time again soundwave has had near constant changes because cassette players just aren’t relevant to the modern day unless it’s explicitly a call back to his G1 counterpart
Though either way I like the diversity in alt modes compared to everyone just being a car or jet and generally making them more distinct and have interesting applications of there alt modes
HA! Star Trek reference!
Yahoo!!!
hahaha, no offense to people who got to school but that sucks!
I saw that someone had Frankenstiened a WFC Soundwave and this to make a pretty awesome Earth Mode Soundwave here's a link transformerscharacters.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Soundwave6.jpg
That is one AWESOME custom!
The Lazy Eyebrow Reviewer I know, right! Now hold on I need to buy some supplies......
Let me comment on this video before it's too la- oh, nevermind.
lol
