Mods - KO Perceptor (G1)

Exactly 1 year ago I bought this KO Perceptor ( Side-Tracked: Recent Haul of KOs and non-KOs ), and its only 2 days ago I started to touch up him. This piece has some parts remoulded to be rounded, more organic-style. The major one will have to be the head, which looks like the cartoon version! However, like all KOs, it has a bad face paint-job (see http://www.actionfigurechecklist.com/Images/Album/index.php?v=view&i=7&p=Transformers_KnockOff_KO/G1/Perceptor/DSC01497_Perceptor.jpg )

So painted the head, and now it looks so much closer to the cartoon version!!! Also covered the red parts on the arms and black knees with yellow paint, to make the colours less conflicting... and some touching-up here and there...


Translucent blue rifle, cool... did not use the missile launcher, as it looks weird here... Btw, the head is also moved up by gears too, like the real one...


The scope can also be extended like the real one also (though it has no lens.. but I believe the real one has only 1.5x magnification... not much useful... ) !!! Amazing...


Artillery mode!!!!! Sweet, getting to like this mode more and more...


... very glad to have gotten this piece... and I don't have to spend $$$ to get the reissue... and this is a different colour one!!! hahaha...

Edit: Overall very good piece, and plastic is good, the whole piece is HEAVY...
