TFWiki thinks the Insecticons will be a three pack. Joy!!!The Doctor wrote:Do you have a date for the release of this figure? I wish they would have given him a new face also, he looks a bit too much like Prime. I hope the insecticon reissue is a 3 pack.
Ah, yes... Perceptor's face. Doesn't bother me too much, really. I kind of like faceplates.

I like faceplates too, but a big part of why I like Perceptor is his cartoon portrayal as a loveable geek. The head combined with the astonishing level of weaponry means the toy version always looks like it's about to scream "I'LL TAKE YOU ALL ON!" and start dismembering people doesn't really gel with that...
Still, customised fan-made accessories seem to be coming more and more common and viable, so maybe someone will do a replacement head [/hopeful]

Nobody ever reads my checklists, do you?
Insecticons will be a three-pack (packaging shown at BotCon, no individual names of the Insecticons known yet, Bombshell will probably be "Hardshell" again, not sure about Shrapnel), projected release date for them and Perceptor is September.

Good thing for everybody that Shane McCarthy came along with a superb revisionist take on the character then isn't I'm sorry I can't even finish writing that.Cliffjumper wrote:I like faceplates too, but a big part of why I like Perceptor is his cartoon portrayal as a loveable geek.

So that's what he's been doing, writing the characters based on how their toys look rather than bothering to research any past media. A method that's even extended to his own creation with Drift being a complete non entity.

Or where he'll be available
I feel utterly ignored.
