ABOUT AREA NIFTY-ONE   -  For those of you who have seen our listings before, this is normally where we had our backstory and Bio information. In an effort to streamline our listings, all of that has been put into a group of v-log interviews on the AREA NIFTY-ONE facebook fanpage:

Now, regarding C.T.C. PERCEPTOR,

DESIGN DECISIONS – This figure began as a Supreme Class Cybertron Metroplex. We originally bought him off of Ebay without his accessories, and intended to simply use him for play and for parts. It wasn’t until the re-release of the 25^th anniversary Perceptor, that we got the idea to create a much large tribute to the figure. We thought it would be neat to then take really large molds of existing transformers and from them create colossal-scale tributes to the original G-1 figures. We needed a name to describe both (1) the hugeness we planned to take these figures to, and (2) the idea that these were a sort of tribute to the hay day of the transformers- a celebration of the era.

After trying a bunch of different name ideas, we got it. COMMEMORATIVE TITAN CLASS.

Cybertron Metroplex was the perfect mold to capture the heroic Autobot Scientist. We wanted of course to pay close enough attention to Perceptor’s original colors, preserving his aqua and red color scheme. We also while creating a new figure, wanted to apply those colors to the same areas on the body as his G-1 ancestor. ( aqua mid section, thighs, and forearms.)

Then, to play off the crusted, space-debris Cybertron battle theme, we coupled the G-1 color scheme with plenty of metal scrapes and scarring. There are places where we were tempted to add more chrome and silver, but it would have gotten too chrom-ey and too busy. We think we have the perfect balance of distributed color contrast.

IMPORTANT FEATURES – Once again, at the time of purchase, Cyberton Metroplex did not come with any of his accessories. Should the winning bidder happen to have them and wish to send them in for matched paint, fantastic. However we do not have them.

What we DID add as far as modifications are his newly replaced head and chestplate. The head is a transplant from a Supreme Class Cybertron Starscream, and the chestplate has been cannibalized from a Construction Devastator Scavenger. He does come with a custom gun created from a Mega Bloks Megatron cannon attatchment.

TITAN CLASS PERCEPTOR stands 13.5 inches tall.

PRODUCTION -  This custom originally was designed to replicate a “dryer” flat look for all the paint. To do this, Cybertron Metroplex was taken completely apart screw by screw. Each piece was individually sprayed first with flat gray primer, followed by even sprays of Montana Gold Acrylic pro spray cans. Then throughout the rebuild, he was detailed with Testor’s pro enamel paints.
