Perceptor (TFA)

Coming soon


 * Perceptor is an Autobot from the Transformers Animated continuity family.



The Cybertron Scientist. He has two alternate modes. One is a pick-up truck alternate mode and the other is a mobile laboratory complete with a huge microscope! His nerdy friends include Wheeljack and Red Alert. To make matters worse, he sounds like Stephen Hawking. That is not right.

Animated comic
Perceptor, along with Red Alert and Wheeljack, helped to create the first flying Autobots, Jetfire and Jetstorm. He seems to be in charge of the team.

Animated cartoon

 * Voice actor: PlainTalk (English)

Perceptor was one of the Autobots, along with Wheeljack, who created Omega Supreme during the Great War. He explained to Ratchet what it is he had to do for Omega to actually become a living, thinking Autobot instead of just a giant paper weight.

He warned Sentinel Prime that he must come to Cybertron immediatly to liberate why he should be the next Magnus and that he isn't "destined" to become it. He also rode on Grandus in front of a wonderful crowd of past G1 characters.

He must like liberating, because he did just that on whether or not to destroy the most powerful weapon created by Autobot kind which was full of evil bad guys.

Trivia

 * His head resembles Mojo Jojo's, a villain from Powerpuff Girls.


 * His abdomen distinctly resembles the Autobot insignia.


 * Instead of an actor, PlainTalk is used for his voice, which results in Perceptor having a robotic monotone. Looks like Soundwave has some competition.


 * According to the series' writers, Perceptor's monotone voice/speech pattern is a result of deleting his own personality and capacity for emotion to create room in his processor to store more information.
 * Which is odd, considering that he displays at least two emotions (excitement when he uploads the Decepticon code into the simulator, and surprise when he loses control of it) during the comic Rise of Safeguard.
