Over the course of the last week, 3rd party group Keith’s Fantasy Club has been dropping teasers for a new upcoming project. First, a teaser was shown homaging IDW’s All Hail Megatron Coda. A few days later, a render of their 3rd party Perceptor was shown and this evening, we have five images of the actual prototype of this new figure. This figure is a homage to IDW’s Perceptor, complete with “targeting monocle” and sniper rifle. Although no pictures of the alternate modes just yet, this figure will have three modes including robot, tank and microscope. The first teaser also hints that this will be just the first release and use of the mold, an “Akuma” and “The Surgeon” reuses are planned. The prototype in this picture is also shown in comparison with Generations Sergeant Kup. The figure is scheduled for an August 2013 release.

I love the frenzy_rumble release I have and he has a home on my Wreckers shelfView attachment 29685798

Ehhhh…small, and his scope is very prone to just popping off, as is his head. I have two versions of the mold and was more than happy to replace them with SS86 Percy tbh

Sorry for the necro, but how is this guy?

The price point seems to be what Planet X charge for Voyagers.
DogFriedRice
I'm waiting for the Planet X one.
Hopefully he should be large deluxe to small voyager in size.
Scaleface
QC depends on which release you have. It got better with each recolor and re-release.
I still have the theory that the designer of this toy originally intended it to be larger than it was (perhaps a medium size Voyager), and when they shrunk it down to a small Deluxe, it suffered. It ended up with several weak points in the neck and cannon mount, and the later revisions spent time fixing the problems they caused with the shrinking.

I don't mind the size, he is just really cheaply made

I just picked this guy up today. I already have Fanstoys Tesla, but for my Wreckers display, that figure was just too enormous compared to the likes of Generations Springer, CW Ultra Magnus and Fansproject Assaulter, so I was hoping that Mugan Scope would come in about head height with MMC Spartan. I’ll admit I was a little disappointed to find he’s not much bigger than the Mech Ideas Jumpstarters, but he’s all there is for now… unless anyone knows of any other Perceptor figures that would come in at the height I’m after?

Is it this one? Transformers KFC Eavi Metal Mugen Scope Perceptor Comes 1 Extra Head | eBay
I bought the same one. It comes with all four heads and it's Ace's Toys Store/Daelite's new eBay sales account. Getting rid of their leftover stock. Mine was packed well and shipped fast, so you're good to go. Feedback's excellent, too.

I just got one of the teel ones on ebay for 40 bucks, he's selling them without the box with only 1 extra head though.. I figured id take a shot as ive wanted this figure for almost 2 years now..
TFXProtector
Yes. Absolutely. I paid the same price for one that was loose! (Although, mine was the teal version with the extra heads. I think this is the original version with the blue on it.)
A good deal at that price, yes.

Is this a good price for Him?

I have the Amputare version for my shockwave collection but rather want this one for my IDW collection.

I have the teal one, which I got in the two pack with the blaster remold. The blaster seems adequate, although it feels cheap. On the scope figure, the platform the head sits on tears up the plastic on the inside when I try to transform it, so it's an action master now.
Shame such a fantastic looking mold is dogged by such shoddy plastics and QC.
motorthing
I like Amputare a lot, seems to bbe the most solid use of the mould that I have.
TFXProtector
I have Scope and Amputare, I love 'em.

I got the Surgeon version cheap at AA the other year. I honestly was not all that impressed with it. Nice looking toy, but quality was not amazing.
Scaleface
I got the distinct impression that this toy was downsized from what it was designed to be. If it had been a bit bigger, it would be sturdier.
DocSeth81
I'd stay away from this mold. it just isn't great. only 3rd party I wish I passed on
TheUltraMagnus
Is the quality better for the new teel Mugen scope? Im interested in him but only if he isn't falling to pieces. Thanks.
