TFA Perceptor's alt mode revealed

Nice. An Autobot triplechanger.

MOOOOOJO JOJO!!

He is a robot, not a monkey. If he was a monkey that maybe he could be MOOOOOJO JOJO. But MOOOOOJO JOJO is not a robot, he is a monkey. For only a monkey could be MOOOOOJO JOJO. Not a robot.

I like it. Especially how he's a triple-changer. I wonder what size class his figure will be with him having three modes, but he doesn't seem like he would be taller than Prime.

It would make for a cool toy.

Really cool alt-modes, but I really don't like the Mojo-bot.

That just looks bad.

i wonder how the toy is gonna be like. how do they hide those giant wheels? he's pretty slim to have a bulky pickup truck as an altmode. anyway the design looks cool. he still looks like mojo jojo though.

If Hasbro pulls off this alt-mode with that bot mode, I will take back every bad thing I have ever said about them.

I don't think it's a pickup so much as it's a subcompact convertable type of thing...along the lines of an El Camino but smaller.

Good, but I don't think your response was long enough to really successfully copy the pattern of MOOOOOOOJO JOJO.

I am not a big fan of the look of his head, but I like the take on his alt mode. Very creative while a reference to G1. I will buy this when it comes out in toy form.

He'll need to be voyager sized to pull these forms off with any degree of success I think

I like how his midsection in robot mode echos the Autobot symbol. Very nice subtle design touch.

If they manage to translate this design into a toy I will be immensely impressed.

Liking that.

Cool, I like it! IF they make a toy I'd definitely buy it.

What the hell is that

I'm with all the others who don't see how they're gonna pull off that skinny robot with such a bulky alt mode. Maybe, as suggested it could be done with a Voyager class fig. I guess we'll have to wait and see.

If you have a look at the sheets, it states that what people say is the pick up mode is in fact his Microscope mode.

Wow awesome, so he will be a voyager then?

Only thing i don't like are his glasses, what's up with that?

oh man thats awsome. i cant wait for the toy...it will so be mine!

ROOOOOBO JOJO

I'm skeptical about how they are going to implement him, but they have done some nice work on keeping the TFA line really close in both modes.

Sorry looks goofy to me.

What a cool alt mode...
It's a pity his robot mode(especialy the head) looks like a super-idiot instead of a super-scientist that Perceptor is supposed to be...

Question:are there any rumors or something about TFA Constructicons toys?

It looks rather interesting. If the toy pulls if off well, then it'll be a marvel. Having the microscope as a cannon's very sneaky too. It looks quite possible that Series 3 will explore Cybertron, seeing as that doesn't look very much like a car a human would construct.

did any one else notice that wheeljack (as seen a while back in a post about the comic that comes with jetfire, & jet storm)& perceptor look like the guys from Myth Busters?

Well, according to the sheets, Perceptor's alt modes will be featured in the season 3 opener [episode 30], but we will not see him in bot mode until episode 2 [episode 31].

I could have misinterpreted the meaning of said numbers, and part of me hopes I did, because it would be weird to see a new TF without seeing its bot mode.

Though, I could be right, because they didn't show Blurr's bot mode until later in the series.

Any takers?

Any air dates?

i cant remember the technical mumbo jumbo but hasbro said that as of right now there are no plans for constructicons. they would love to do them but only when the time is right and the figures can be done well... makes me belive we might see more constructicons in the series.

I agree. Have they announced a toy for him?

As a fan of both G1 and TFA, I approve of this reimaging. Science truck/mobile lab is an excellent update to microscope/'tank'.

That was noticed and posted about the day the first images were leaked. Welcome to the party Pal.

I agree the glasses look stupid... I get what they're going for, but it looks stupid (not to mention redundant... a robot needing glasses? can't he buy new optics? ) I don't remember them in the first image we saw... oh well I'll just get used to them

otherwise, awesome design... wish they'd do that for the universe line (plus, wasn't the original toy technically a triplechanger?)

That looks all kinds of awesome. Colour me surprised.

I think there may be some differences in the toy form though, as I cant see the tyres around the wheels disappearing as they seem to do in the robot mode... unless the wheels on his elbows are fakes and the actual alt mode wheels become part of the backpack.

I'm with Mkall, hope this is a voyager. I so want to buy this in toy form!
