Toys
Armada
- Street Action Team (Basic, 2002/2003)
- Japanese ID number: MM-01
- Street Action Micron Anime Color (CD pack-in, 2003)
- Magna Convoy DX Set (Multi-pack, 2003)
Energon
- Perceptor (Basic, 2004)
- This mold-set was also used to make Heavy Metal and Super Link Windcharger.
Universe
- Sunstorm w/ Inferno & Street Action Mini-Con Team (Multi-pack, 2004)
- Perceptor (Basic, 2005)
- Energon Perceptor was repackaged on a Universe-themed card and sold through discount chains in the US like Big Lots!.
Cybertron
- Backblast vs Sureshock
- Blastcharge vs High Wire
- Scrap Iron vs Grindor
- Perceptor's Cybertron version was not made available as a complete set; he could only be assembled by buying all three of the Street Action Team vs Deep Space Mini-Con Team two-packs. Since this assortment was the final wave of two-packs, they are somewhat harder to find than the other sets.
Merchandise
- A PVC figurine of Perceptor was made as part of the ninth "Act" of Takara's Super Collection Figure series. He was available in both full-color and pewter-finish versions.
Trivia
- According to Aaron Archer at OTFCC 04, he choose to name the Armada Mini-Con combiner robot "Perceptor" to honor the Takara employee who engineered the Street Action Team - because that employee was also responsible for engineering the original Generation 1 Perceptor toy. It's likely this was Hideaki Yoke, but Archer did not specify at the time. It may be interesting to note that noted mecha designer Shinji Aramaki also worked on the original Perceptor, at the very least coming up with the initial concept, but given that he was long-gone from Takara and directing the animated movie Appleseed in 2004, Archer probably didn't mean him.
