Mayhem Transformers Discussion: Reheated Leftover POTPie

There are two versions of Studio Series Perceptor. You got the second version, which has a retooled chest and arms because someone at Hasbro wasn't satisfied with the accuracy of the first version. It was already fine, but they made it better, I guess.

I suspect they just wanted to make Ramhorn but they ran out of slots for new characters, but they had a remold slot, so they included him with Perceptor.

 

[Dekafox]

yeah, lost the core slot so they had to make it a pack in. I wonder which was actually the first reason they did this, to make Perceptor more accurate, or to make Ramhorn and justify it with Perceptor

And leaving Magnificat as the toy head oddity. Magnificus was a new head retool of the first version Perceptor right?

Whats the betting that Hasbro will, at some point, re-re-re-release this Perceptor, but with the toy head now. I mean, I’m kinda surprised that hasn’t happened yet anyway.

They’re saving that for a “retro-packaged” version of Perceptor.

Retro is seemingly only for Minibots. For some reason.

why did they change the retro line from toon deco reissues of g1 toys to toy deco releases of modern toys lol

 

[CoffeeHorse]

Hasbro has a sense of humor that way.

FOR NOW….

It’s easier…and maybe cheaper than trying to dig up the old toys.

If I were guessing.
