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.
