Hasbro’s Studio Series Transformers: The Movie series continues to grow with the inclusion of Perceptor, Coronation Starscream, and Galvatron’s minion Sweep. Perceptor and Starscream will be available in February 2022 for $23 and $53 while Sweep will be coming out this November for $32.
Pre-orders are open now for these figures and others in the movie line over at Entertainment Earth.
Each of these figures sports the color scheme and mostly screen-accurate appearance to their 1986 film counterparts. Starscream maybe the odd one out here though as he looks rather chunky. That boy is thicc. He may be a reissue of a previous Starscream from a few years ago and isn’t brand new tooling like these others.
It feels weird being more excited for Perceptor than Starscream. When I was a kid in the ’80s, we’d only use Perceptor in his cannon configuration because he was just kind of a boring toy. Why he was kept alive while Prowl, Ironhide, and Wheeljack all got the offed was a mystery to me. It couldn’t have been the character’s gimmick of being a microscope, could it?
Just like you remember from The Transformers and Transformers: The Movie, it’s the super-smart Perceptor! This Studio Series 86-11 Deluxe Class Transformers: The Movie-inspired Perceptor figure converts from robot to microscope mode in 20 steps. Remove backdrop to showcase Perceptor in the Battle of Autobot City scene. In the Battle of Autobot City scene from The Transformers: The Movie, Perceptor observes a fleet of incoming enemies. His cursory evaluation of Decepticon capability indicates a distinct tactical deficiency—or in other words: the Autobots are outnumbered! Pose the figure out with the included blaster accessory and imagine recreating this classic movie moment!
