"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 sciency?

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

Toys

Generation 1

• Magnificus & Ga'Mede (Decepticon, 2005)
  • Japanese ID number: 68
  • Accessories: "Ion Rifle", "Spear Gun" missile launcher, 3 missiles

Perceptor was repurposed from 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. As with all Japanese releases, he has a fully-functional spring-loaded missile launcher weapon, where the US versions had to have them weakened for safety reasons.

He came with his partner Ga'mede.
