'''Shia LaBeouf''' ("shy-yuh leh-buff", ''lit,'' "Thank God for beef") (June 11, 1986- ) is an American actor. He has appeared in several motion pictures including ''[[Holes]][[Image:[[Image:Example.jpg]]''<nowiki>Italic text</nowiki>'']]'', ''I, Robot'', and ''Constantine'' as well as the lead role in ''Disturbia'' (the commercials for the DVD release of the film even referring to him as "''Transformers' '' Shia LeBeouf"). As of writing he is currently filming the fourth ''Indiana Jones'' movie.

Shia is not actually a [[Wikipedia:Shia Islam|Shī‘a]]. He swears a lot... A whole lot. He drops the F-bomb almost 400 times daily. You would too if your dad were a mime.

Perceptor (G1)

{{Template:Disambig3|Perceptor}}

:''Perceptor is an [[Autobot]] in the [[Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:Transformers2-Perceptor.jpg|right|thumb|300px|Surprisingly well armed for [[Mirage (G1)|someone who doesn't like to fight]].]]

'''Perceptor''' is a scientist, one of the most astute minds the whole of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] can offer. He is perpetually seeking the continued quest for knowledge, and his discoveries have repeatedly proven invaluable. Though his specialties lie in metallurgy, electrical engineering, and additional sciences closely concomitant to Transformer physiology, his thirst for knowledge has made him kind of a scientific jack-of-all-trades.

One of Perceptor's most infamous mannerisms is the tendency in which he verbally communicates using scientific terminology. This has the unforseen result of obstreperating and occasionally frustrating his comrades. One might hypothesize that the jovial mechanoid is unaware that not everyone with whom he seeks to communicate shares his extensive vocabulary.

Engaging in physical melee is not his prefered activity. He is content to make his contributions to the Autobot cause in the manner in which he deems sufficient, but will engage in combat if the situation requires. [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] often relies on Perceptor's perspicacity, and considers him as inestimable as any of his officers.

==Fiction==
===Marvel Comics continuity===
On Cybertron, Perceptor was often considered an officer or otherwise highly ranked personage by other Cybertronic life forms in the vicinity, inspiring in the aforementioned others a tendency to view him as a "commander" of a faction of Autobots who engaged in armed conflict against localized enemy forces until such a point as the aforementioned combat unit, or the surviving portions thereof, crossed the multidimensional warp system for transport, otherwise known as the Space Bridge, to join the forces based on the planetary body known to the overwhelming majority of those of his species who had shifted their operations to its locality as Earth. He was later deactivated for a somewhat extended period of time, by human standards if not by those of his species, by the opposing faction (as judged by an outside observer who insists on a binary classification system) in the Underbase conflict, so named for the goal of the conflict, a legendary storehouse of Cybertronic knowledge.

===Animated continuity===
:''Voice actor:'' [[Paul Eiding]] (US), [[Ken Shiroyama|Chikao Shiroyama]] (Japan)

Perceptor arrived on Earth during a period of time occurring after the initial impact of the ''[[Ark (G1)|Ark]]'' into the planet.{{storylink|Dinobot Island, Part 2}} It is unknown exactly when he arrived, but the malfunctions he suffered during the [[Cybertonium]] depletion crisis would lead one to conclude that he had been present when the ''Ark'' crashed onto prehistoric Earth during the encounter wih the ''[[Nemesis (G1)|Nemesis]]''.{{storylink|Desertion of the Dinobots, Part 1}}

During his period of habitation on that planetary body, he experienced a myriad of adventures. Included in that scope were incidents such as: reconfiguring his mass ratio to a microscopic scale in order to sever the connection of the [[Heart of Cybertron]] to [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]]'s body{{storylink|Microbots}}; being abducted by the [[Decepticon]]s, along with [[Seaspray (G1)|Seaspray]] {{storylink|The Golden Lagoon}}; traveling through the interstellar void with [[Jazz (G1)|Jazz]] to reacquire [[Cosmos (G1)|Cosmos]] from Saturn's moon Titan {{storylink|The God Gambit}}; and landing on an unexplored world in which Cybertronian lifeforms were minuscule in relation to the immense indigenous population. {{storylink|Child's Play}} He also synthesized a panacea to remedy the deadly [[Cosmic Rust]] epidemic. {{storylink|Cosmic Rust}}

[[Image:PerceptorNijika01.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Memoirs of a tiny alien robot geisha with a male alien robot's transplanted brain]]

Perceptor's actions continued to be of intrinsic strategic import, particularly following the distinct tactical deficiencies during the battle of Autobot City that resulted in the expiration of [[Wheeljack (G1)|Wheeljack]]. {{storylink|The Transformers: The Movie}} He also accompanied [[Hot Rod|Rodimus Prime]] on a multitude of his manifold peregrinations. During one of his final known excursions with Rodimus, Perceptor found his [[universal emulator]] taken from his body and transplanted into the [[Zamojin (species)|Zamojin]] construct called [[Nijika]], which resulted in Perceptor's consciousness taking up residence within that form. All things considered, he took it quite well, and helped free the planet from the tentacled grasp of the [[Quintesson]]s. {{storylink|The Face of the Nijika}}

===Victory===
:''Voice actor:'' [[Masaharu Satō]] (Japanese)

Perceptor, [[Wheeljack (G1)|Wheeljack]] and [[Minerva]] were summoned, called forth, or otherwise sought out by [[Star Saber (G1)|Star Saber]] to save, preserve, and defend the life of the critically damaged and weakened [[Ginrai]]. They succeeded, converting the former [[Transtector]] into the mighty [[Victory Leo]].

===Japanese G2===
[[Image:G2StoryPageWheeljackPerceptor1.jpg|right|250px|thumb|Look at him, all tiny back there.]]

Perceptor, along with Wheeljack and [[Jetfire (G1)|Jetfire]], discovered [[Reconfiguration Matrix|new properties]] of the [[Matrix of Leadership|Matrix]] which allowed Optimus Prime to revive himself as Laser-Rod Optimus Prime subsequent to a crushing defeat by Megatron.

===Universe: The Wreckers===

Perceptor counseled [[Hot Rod|Rodimus Prime]] against making a leadership decision that, when one considers both the opinions of observers that are generally regarded as wise, to such an extent as observers with finite capacity for knowledge can comprehend the infinite, and the final results of the decision in question, could be regarded as less than optimal.

Knowing the commander in question many of those reading this documentation may surmise the result...

===Dreamwave comics continuity===
Perceptor was again held to be an officer or leader, a position he occupied with Blaster, among a group of underground Autobots on Cybertron after the unexpected return of [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]], who had disappeared along with Optimus Prime many years ago in an early [[space bridge]] test, commanding the [[Aerospace Extermination Squadron]], an army of [[Seeker]]-form drones. The combat efficiency of these Air Warriors, as they were also known, led to a Decepticon conquest of Cybertron, as well as the enslavement of many Autobots. During this period, Perceptor theorized that if Megatron had survived the space bridge explosion, one could logically conclude that Optimus Prime also survived. At a base appropriately designated the [[Think Tank]], Perceptor designed and built a device intended to locate Optimus Prime. Before a proper test of the device could be conducted, Perceptor's group managed to capture an Air Warrior, with the intentions of examining its systems with the hope of finding an effective counter measure against the drones. {{storylink|The War Within: The Age of Wrath}} Unfortunately, financial irregularities on the part of [[Dreamwave]]'s [[Pat Lee|President]] resulted in the company filing for Chapter 11, where it currently remains in Bankruptcy court to this day, precluding any possible end to the story at this time.

Millions of years after the aforementioned events, Perceptor again allied with a group of Autobots who opposed the oppressive regime of the Decepticon [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]], but these activities were covert in nature and he publicly remained a respected Autobot scientist. He presented evidence of Shockwave's unorthodox experiments on various Transformers, as well as the fact that Cybertron's spatiatl coordinates seemed to have changed, to the [[Autobot High Council|High Council]]. The High Council was unwilling to take any constitutional action against Shockwave, over feelings of gratitude for his assistance in restoring the peace, even after they were verbally accosted by Ultra Magnus. Ultimately, any censure or movement against Shockwave was discontinued due to a rampage on the part of the [[Stunticon]]s. After Optimus Prime escaped custody and united the various resistance movements, Perceptor participated in the [[Prime (rank)|Autobot leader]]'s offensive against [[Shockwave's tower|Shockwave's fortifications]] within Hub Capital Iacon. He also helped to repair Grimlock, commander of the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobot]]s, despite the latter's well known bias against intellectuals. {{storylink|War and Peace}}

===Devil's Due G.I. Joe versus Transformers continuity===

===IDW comics continuity===
Perceptor embarked upon a mission in which the [[Ark-17]] was the principle mode of transport as likewise did [[Springer]], attempting to disentangle [[Kup]] from a scenario that would all but undoubtedly lead to his expiration. Perceptor, as was the general consensus of those who had embarked upon the voyage, attempted to dissuade Springer of the less than optimal, considering resource allotment, military operation he had accepted. {{storylink|Spotlight: Kup}}

He later served on [[Autobot Orbital Command Hub]], acting as a peer to acting-command [[Silverbolt (G1)|Silverbolt]]. He appeared to know [[Blaster (G1)|Blaster]] of old, and helped him with his investigation. {{storylink|Spotlight: Blaster}}

===Teletraan Go! Go! comics===
[[Image:TGGPerceptor1.jpg|left|150px|thumb|The doctor is in...sane.]]
Sent to gather data on Perceptor, [[Teletraan 15]] found him giggling creepily over a microchip and telling it that it was time for its check-up.

[[Image:TGGPerceptor2.jpg|right|150px|thumb|Wheeee!]]As she recoiled in horror, Perceptor's tone became clinical and, retracting his faceplate, he demanded that she identify herself.

After Teletraan 15 recorded her notes on the Autobot scientist, he transformed into his seldom-seen mobile battle mode and took her for a ride...whether she wanted it or not.

==Toys==
===Generation 1===
*'''Perceptor''' (Autobot, 1985)
: ''Japanese ID number:'' '''C-39'''

[[Image:G1Perceptor_toy.jpg|left|thumb|Because its easier to see small things when you have a giant laser cannon aiming at them.]]

: Formerly a [[Microchange]] MC-20 Micro Scope, Perceptor transforms into a predominantly red, functional microscope. His magnification is limited to 1X due to the relatively crude nature of his lens. In robot mode, Perceptor is armed with a red laser rifle and a spring-loaded rocket launcher that can fire one of three red missile-shaped projectiles.

: A holdover from his Microchange origins, Perceptor can also transform into a 'tank' mode.

: The Japanese version does ''not'' launch missiles from the scope, despite what some sources say.

: There is an old variant of this toy: some have a more golden-hued chrome than the normal silver. This is not a very common variant.

*'''Perceptor''' (Autobot, 2005)

===Classics===
*'''Perceptor''' (Legends, 2006)
[[Image:ClassicsLOCPerceptor_toy.jpg|left|thumb|Perceptor will blow up your whole city. ''For science.'']]

: Available as part of the first assortment of ''[[Classics (2006)|Classics]]'' ''[[Legends of Cybertron]]'', Perceptor is a [[redeco]] of the ''Legends of Cybertron'' [[Red Alert (Armada)|Red Alert]]. He transforms into a BTR-90 armored personnel carrier with a large missile/laser cannon/microscope/telescope.

==Trivia==

*In the animated portion of Perceptor's original toy commercial he is presented as being quite small, the size a microscope would be in relation to Prime's robot form, and not growing at all, but remaining just as tiny in robot form.

* A Perceptor [[Action Master]] was planned at one point, but apparently went no further than a concept sketch. Unlike some other Action Masters, the art is based solely on the toy, including its faceplate. It has the distinction of carrying on Perceptor's well-armed legacy, with not just one but TWO shoulder mounted microscope cannons, arm shields, and a large handgun <ref>[[Transformers Generations Deluxe]], p110</ref>. The figure may have been intended as a pilot or driver for an Action Master vehicle, as the handgun has handlebars jutting off either side. Or, perhaps, the aforementioned munition was engineered to be wielded in an akimbo manner.

*The initial inspiration for Perceptor came from the anime series [[w:Armored Trooper Votoms|Armored Trooper Votoms]]. [[Shinji Aramaki]], designing toys for Takara at the time, liked the microscope look of the heads of the mecha from that series, and applied it in a more literal sense with the Microchange toy, but his involvement ended at the conceptual stage.
