He’s got an amazing head sculpt and excellent chest detail, which is good because he loses points for having knees that only bend backwards. Spyglass rocks a very Decepticon colour scheme, which may explain why they modelled Reflector more on him than Spectro. There’s something about the combo of those big shoulders, the lens chest, and that moody looking face that makes this guy a winner. It’s such a shame that they decided it’d be better if they just did a mash up of Viewfinder and Spyglass. Reflector is an awesome little trio of robots and the fact they were so underrepresented was a crying shame, not to mention the fact they homogenised three excellent, unique and characterful designs. That and I like getting toys in the post.Īnd when Reflector arrives in the post my first thought is ‘what a pity’. And, like the aforementioned, when I find out there’s a new Generations version coming out I suddenly need to buy one. File alongside Punch/Counterpunch, and the clones. Alas, I also can’t remember what my critical assessment of the toy was, though I imagine it went along the lines of ‘a transforming camera is pointless’.īecause of his near complete absence form the comics I didn’t feel compelled to get a Reflector when I started collecting again. ![]() I probably stopped paying too much attention as I examined this obscure toy that I’m not sure I even knew existed prior to this. I can’t exactly recall how, but it was something to do with his Dad’s work. A school friend that lived on a street near mine managed to get one. I did actually get to play with a Reflector as a kid. The three into one and multi tracked voice gimmicks were kinda cool, I guess, but there was nothing really all that interesting about the dude. My only real memory of the guy is the scene where he and Thundercracker take some photos in ‘Arrival from Cybertron’. Unlike all those other toys we didn’t get in the UK, I didn’t really have that great a curiosity about old Reflector. He didn’t fare all that much better in the cartoon, getting written out after the first season. we’ll get to that) spends it lying on the floor. His one good scene in the comics and he (or part of him. Never was an early TF so brutally side lined.
