PERFECT EFFECT PE-03 Laser & PE-04 Buzzer NEW PICS

I've been waiting for these as well, and now that we see images of them coloured they don't disappoint.

But woah, the Autobots are looking a little outnumbered. 2-to-1! And that's if you're not a hater of Kiss Player. Does anyone know if Perfect Effect has expressed an interest in doing incarnations of the more individual characters; Steeljaw, Ramhorn, Ravage, Slugfest, Overkill? Dare I hope for Squawkbox and Slamdance?

I heard something awhile back that PE was considering Steeljaw, Ramhorn and Overkill, but heard nothing on the others.

Awesomesauce! I considered ordering a second set of Sun/Night to repaint myself but thought it prudent to hang on a little longer to see if these happened (it seemed likely).

Agreed that it would be fantastic to see some of the less famous 'cassettes' reformatted by PE. As the new versions of these characters don't have cassette alt modes, and all we've seen so far transform into weapons, perhaps PE could find a way of releasing a Ravage/Steeljaw/Ramhorn that has an armor style add-on alt mode for WFC SW/Sonicron/Universe Blaster/SW... maybe something that clips over the shoulders and is adjustable so it can be used with different figs? It'd be great to be able to mount -all- relevant cassettes onto one player at once, even if additional mounting parts are required (like the wrist mounts for attaching Sun/Night to City Commander Magnus).

I guess the only problem with this is that we're yet to receive a definitive, G1 inspired version of SW/Blaster in the Classics/Universe/Henkei/etc range, so it'd be a bit of a toss-up as to which fig they'd design these for.

Solid.

I hope the connectors are altered to allow them to connect to G1 Soundwave.

It's about time these were officially announced. I've been waiting for them for a while now. I think the blade for Buzz(saw) should be yellow along w/ his color scheme.
I agree w/ you that PE needs to finish out the whole cassette line. Would be really awesome if Beastbox/Squawktalk and Grandslam/Raindance were designed to combine like in G1. Steeljaw has always been my favorite cassette so I'm looking forward to an update for him.

Now that I think about it, I should order a Shattered Glass Ravage to pose as the Kiss Player panther.

Pre-orders when???

Nice, we definitely need Hasbro to give us a blue Ravage (Howlback). I really want to see the rest of the cassettes redone.

FINALLLLLLY!!! I was beginning to worry they just decided to stop. Anyways, people already know how I feel about the Perfect Effect cassettes.

Why would they do that when they are (allegedly) working on their own Soundwave?

Good, I was wondering when they would be coming out. I wonder what's next for PerfectEffect, they seem to be onto a good thing here.

Will think about. My Sun coming assembled with its head and neck on upside down has kind of made me back off of wanting to buy more PE stuff.

Maybe however my Reflector comes will help determine whether I am ready to jump in and buy more from them, or not.

Looks good and ill be getting them. Although I could give a crap less about the weapon mode. I have yet to transform my Frenzy and Rumble.

Brilliant, I've been hoping for these ever since I brought my sun and night versions. Can't wait for these to go up for pre-order.

I think I'll agree with you now. Perfect Effect could do with diversifying what any future ex-cassette Transformers transform into; even a Decepticon can only hold so many weapons. That's why I like Laser's and Buzzer's rocket pack mode so much, and why I hated Kingbat's sword/trident/jet modes. If any of the Decepticon cassettes were going to be passive it should've been him. I wanted him to transform into a back or shoulder mounted radar array. Something that incorporates his individual function or abilities.

But I'll have to disagree with you about wanting to be able to mount them all on one character at once. That would be way too much for Soundwave with his (counting on fingers).... what, 10 minions?? Don't forget in the original cartoon we never saw Soundwave with more four of them at a time. I've fully adopted the idea of the cassettes as Mini-Cons, so they could provide Soundwave with different capabilities and tactical options.

Say he wanted to go in fast and loud; Laser and Buzzer on his back to provide rocket powered flight, PE-01F/R on his forearms, Slugfest as some kind of missile pod mounted on one shoulder and Ratbat's radar mode on the other for targeting. Alternatively, a stealth package could see Squawktalk's huge wings offer a silent glide ability, Beastbox an overpowered crushing gauntlet for silent close-quarters kills, Ravage some sort of infra-red goggles/binoculars, and Overkill a silenced sniper rifle.

I dunno.... maybe I've thought about this way too much.

Don't forget that there was strong evidence a while ago that Perfect Effect would be making their own Soundwave, so that would solve any compatibility issues.

They work with Shadow Commander. If that counts for anything.
They look slick, but they are not for me.

Maaaaan...that 'whole cast' pic makes me want them all...

Blackstreak wrote:I think the blade for Buzz(saw) should be yellow along w/ his color scheme.

Nooooooo!!!

I personally hope the red for both Lazer/Buzz remains as shown; provides more unity. Not like they have different thrusters, etc. and, as weapons, two flaming swords that are the same colour kicks ass.

I never cared for the bot mode on the originals, so I skipped them, but I'll probably throw in for these.

I've been using Classics Dreadwing (the falcon mini-con) as a stand in for a while now.

Was wondering when we would see these guys. Nice. Someone mentioned Steeljaw, Ramhorn and Overkill. I would love to see them and the Ravage we would most likely get as well.

Solid looking figures. This mold definitely looks better in black.

Slugfest needs to be a railgun...get it?

I'm just sayin'

The Colours look good on them so I think I may buy them but Scouting force comes first

This.

ooh, yes! With these, I will own a version of all the Decepticons from the 1984 catalog!

Does this mean I need the Shadow Pack to use the jet pack feature?

It wouldn't be a bad idea.

Soundwave and Blaster need battle platform alt modes to house all these cassettes-turned-weapons. That would be awesome.

Yes you do.

For a jet pack, yes. You'll also be able to attach them to Shadow Commanders arms as arm mounted flame throwers. Is how my Sun and Moon are displayed on City Commander.

These look really nice.

I'm seriously considering getting these knock-offs.

These aren't actually knock offs. They're entirely new molds from Perfect Effect (used previously as The Sun and The Night) which vaguely represent the idea of Laserbeak and Buzzsaw without stepping too close on copyright, trademark, or intellectual property laws. The Sun vaguely represents Sundor (thought there's too much red and not enough gold) and The Night vaguely represents E-Hobby Garboil (though the blue isn't dark enough).

Not crazy about the jet mode and the size of these, but the paint jobs are very, very nice. I hope these creatively connect onto PE's upcoming "Soundwave" figure.

Look like a buy contender for me.

New pics! Featuring connections to WFC Optimus & Shadow Commander.

The Megatron link up is ¡muy bueno!

Late last week, we revealed that Third Party Toy Manufacturer Perfect Effect updated their blog to reveal PE-03 Laser and PE-04, "classic" style updates to G1 Laserbeak and Buzzsaw, using the "jetbird" mold created for The Sun and The Night. They've updated their blog again; this time they are featuring new shots of the duo attached to Generations War for Cybertron Optimus Prime, FansProject Shadow Commander, and, in a surprise, safely docked to the arm of Henkei Megatron, using what looks to be a remold to the landing struts. We've mirrored a few images here, but there are more availableat Perfect Effect's blog.

*Throws up hands* Well, that's it. I'm giving them my checkbook at this point. What did I want? Being able to be perched on Classics Megs. What did they give me? Being able to be perched on Classics Megs.

I'd like a Classics Laserbeak and if this is the only option, well OK. The alt modes leave me cold though. Like completely. The rest of these, I have absolutely no use for.

Nice touch. Bravo Perfect Effect

That's what ive been saying, a soundwave base, for those weapons, jets, and tanks. it would be great

I am such a non-observant person that I never noticed I could put these jets on W4C Optimus Prime. Seeing these pics I grabbed my Prime, Sun, and Night figures and tried it out. Looks pretty awesome. They seem to sit a little higher than Buzzer and Laser do in the pics but thats okay.

I have to agree though, the alt modes do leave a little bit to be desired (or undesired if you will). The jet pack modes are cooler than the blade modes in my opinion. I would still like to see a Blaster and Soundwave battle platform figures. These could go really well as weapon turrets or flight thrusters for a triple changer version.

I thought these were too large compared with Rumble/Frenzy... but seeing it on Meg's arm, it actually looks pretty darn good... and the jet pack mode looks good on W4C Prime. Trying hard not to buy these things now... Darn you Perfect Effect. Darn you to heck.

Wow, third party add ons that fit another third party's kit.

What are they gonna do, sue each other for IP infringement?

The solution is clear. Fansproject and Perfect Effect must team up.

Nifty. (not)Reflector has really turned me on to PE so I'll probably be snagging these guys when they come our way.

By the way, anyone else notice that Laserbeak's jet mode is kinda reminiscent of his cybertronian mode in the first G1 episode?

That was damn quick; they're up for pre-order as a pair on RobotKingdom.

Hoitytoity wrote:By the way, anyone else notice that Laserbeak's jet mode is kinda reminiscent of his cybertronian mode in the first G1 episode?

Not really. In the first episode he was a sort of flying saucer with a beak. This is more of a block with a cockpit.

All my third party dreams would come true.

Up for preorder (via Facebook):
