Synopsis

Teletraan 15's first study subject is Perceptor, who she catches in the act of being super-creepy to a microchip he's examining, giggling about how it's time for the chip's "checkup". Interrupted in his work, he retracts his faceplate, his tone changing from creepazoid to clinical, demanding to know who this young girl is.

Once 15 is done recording her memo on Perceptor (and 10 provides some snark), the Autobot scientist takes 15 on a jaunt in his seldom-seen tank mode... though 15 is less than thrilled with the bumpiness of the ride.

(Numbers indicate order of appearance.)

Notes

  • This volume's featured toy is the Transformers Collection reissue of Perceptor.
  • This is the first—and so far only—appearance of Perceptor's "tank" mode in fiction.
  • Brawn shows up in Teletraan 10's side-comments, but what it's all about is pending a more thorough translation. It's possible that since he's drawn with his cartoon face and not the toy's facemask, it's a comment on Transformers having sliding facemasks that hide their "cartoon" faces, a feature neither Brawn nor Perceptor's toys have.
