That's not a duck. That's a manrod.

It's pretty dumb to call me a pervert for saying that too if anyone was thinking of that. Most people who know anything about the human body know what that looks like. No Dr. Freud needed.

Well if that's a duck....then you must have a pretty small one then

No one called you a pervert though. Don't twist words around. That's how manrods get hurt.

It's quite something to see how similar titan returns blaster is to his g1 counterpart and it's always good to see more of that wonderful wheelie mold, that's one ill be tracking down for sure.

I'm very satisfied with the looks of Wheelie and Rewind.

Actually, why would I think that anyone would call me perverted? Burn is always the one making fapping jokes.
Anyhow...

That actually looks pretty dang awesome not gonna lie. Can anyone think of a character this could be retooled into for the TR line with a similar mode to this? (Perceptor)

Strictly speaking, nobody thanks to the combiner gimmick. Or they'd have to abandon the Titan Master idea and come up with 4 more new members for his team... Nah, too much of a headache
Starting from scratch with a similar transformation is the way to go.

Think again. They could use the same engineering as Rook for Perceptor, just like they did with Dead-end/Chromedome, and he can have both his Microscope mode, and a weird tank mode!

They could also use the same chest piece transformation as the original toy if they used the Rook mold, since the chest is positioned in the same way.

Is Perceptor officially confirmed?

Just so you know, its not a tank mode, its a laboratory mode according to the instructions:
Its also completely bogus since this toy actually has a real tank mode for the microman line and if you transform it like below you will notice that all the wheels touch the floor and he can roll beautifully. He is probably one of the best tank transformers from G1 dut to his ability to interact with other figures to drive him:
No clue why they thought of switching it, its not like the diaclone perceptor actually came with a microman figure anyway.

No, just a rumour that comes from the place all the rumours that eventually came true came from.
Posted by DedicatedGhostArt on May 25th, 2016 @ 5:55pm CDT
Btw, even if they didn't make the (Tank) mode look exactly like the g1 toy, they also have the original Generations Perceptor's alt mode to homage. Maybe they can do a mix homage?

that's ok (see: Chromedome) But I would prefer a new mold not really based on another. I'd be a bit disappointed if Perceptor were to use the Rook mold as a base design just completely reworked, the same way I'm a bit disappointed Nautica is rumored to be a reworking of Blurr/Brainstorm.

I'm thinking it would be more of a battle base mode.

That might make for sense for the line though I guess if they were to give him a microscope and tank mode if he were a voyager, since all the voyagers in Titans Return are triple changers.
Oh yeah, and I would hate a Nautica out of the Blurr mold.

I was saying that several pages ago. 3 uses of a mold is pushing a bit here. I'd just like a new one instead of a 3rd retool

Well, it seems like a great, open-ended mold that has a lot of different design potentials, and I wouldn't mind so much if they actually painted them worth a damn

Well, considering how the re-uses are already piling up (assuming current rumors stand along with known re-uses), I'd say it's a legitimate issue to keep in mind

My thoughts exactly. Besides one remold and a rumored remold is hardly something to bitch about when there's this many new molds.

Still, already designating one mold a redeco/retool cow... it's a bit too soon to really tell. Besides, I thought Chromedome only had one redeco in the form of Getaway.

Galvatron don't have any reuses everyone else has only one reuse with the exception of Nautica that's still unconfirmed and rewind but those were inevitable and I don't really think count.

A lot of those are for next year though, so they have 3 waves left to re-use them, so I wouldn't necessarily count them, but you are right; however some of them have some pretty obvious re-use potential seemingly built into them (megs = blitzwing/doucon guy), I'm sure others do as well, but I don't know this era of g1 well enough to speak on that.

I've been following the rumors for this line really closely and from everything that's been leaked/officially revealed there's enough figures for nearly 6 waves and two sets that I think are box sets. There's some reuse and some suspected reuse but there's a lot of new molds.
