"Perceptor" is an evil Autobot from the Shattered Glass continuity family.

So once the All Hail Optimus Prime storyline starts he'll get all soft and science-y?

"Perceptor" is totally cool with violence. Which is good, because Alpha Trion is cooking up a lot of it.

Shattered Glass Perceptor was repurposed from Collector's Edition Magnificus.

An e-HOBBY exclusive redeco of the Perceptor toy, Magnificus transforms into a working microscope (though not with a very high magnification rate), as well as a tank that Microman figures can ride (albeit not very securely). His hand-held spring-loaded missile launcher weapon is fully functional, thanks to different safety standards for projectile launchers in Japan as compared to the US.

He came with his partner Ga'mede.
