    Show Notes:
    I sort of feel like I have to start off with an apology. Its been roughly a month since the last review and this extended length of time wasn't intentional. I've been experiencing a lot of issues as of late, some of which I outlined in community posts.
    Like getting super sick a few weeks ago. My work hours changed, so I have less time at home. And generally I haven't been able to get good sleep, so my daylight hours are even more limited. These things were taking a toll on me and causing my video production to suffer.
    I'm really sorry about that, cause I have an obligation to my audience and supporters and I don't wanna let anyone down. Unfortunately coming to that conclusion was also somewhat demoralizing, because when I feel behind I feel like I can never catch up again.
    And I think my channel is in a critical place right now, so it doesn't behoove me to take time off, lest I lose opportunity to grow. That's the pragmatic side of it.
    So I wanna pledge to be the best creator I can be for everyone who enjoys my videos, because although this channel hasn't reached the heights of more established reviewers, the amount of support I have gotten is well beyond my expectations and I feel incredibly blessed to have as many eyes of my videos as I have gotten.
    And hopefully it stays that way for some time, because I enjoy creating content that people enjoy. It feels like I can make a difference for people by trying to be something reliably funny and entertaining, because I know the world isn't like that often.
    So again, I am sorry for my tardiness, I want to improve my video output for everyone who watches the channel because I wouldn't even be motivated to do this stuff if it wasn't for everyone's support. And you all have my unending gratitude for that support, because that's what really keeps this channel alive.

    I'm glad you at least mentioned the ball-jointed shoulders. Almost every other review I've seen of this guy just didn't acknowledge them as if we haven't primarily been getting hinge-and-swivel since Siege.

    You are quickly becoming one of my favourite reviewers, up there with TRDQ. Funny, short, informative, idk what else people could possibly want out of a Transformers channel. I don't even *like* Perceptor that much, but this review alone is making me consider replacing my Titans Return Percy

    Come to think of it, Perceptor really would make for an amazing wrestler. His trash talk would all be based on facts and logic and after ruining his foe he'd transform into a microscope just so he can better inspect the damage he's done. Hell, even his iconing line "I fear the wounds are... fatal" would make for a pretty badass win quote in a fighting game.

      I'm very late, I realize. But the answer to this is "sort of." Perceptor turns into his regular microscope mode, but fires a beam out of his scope. It's odd.

      @@Gei4Mei thanks for asking! it’s actually very similar but really good. It’s shorter, and has more hollowness but the sculpted detail and overall aesthetic is a bit more involved, the headmaster can drive the tank mode which is great, and the microscope actually moves in and out when you turn the dial! Also he comes with a sniper rifle! Overall similar, still good but aesthetically different and has more features yet isnt as structurally sound as SS86
