Perceptor and Chris Chan

 

I left a comment on a Chris Chan commentary video.  In the video, Gibi mentioned a character named Perceptor Sonichu.  Given Chris references Transformers a lot in his comics and he really likes the TF movie from the 80s, I believe this super-smart character is a reference to Perceptor from the Transformers series.  He was a scientist that transformed into a microscope.  It was actually a real microscope for the toy too. 

Did you know that had a sex change in one episode?  

Perceptor becomes a “human-sized robotic geisha girl” in the episode The Face of the Nijika.  Perceptor doesn’t really seem to care too much that he’s been forced into a geisha girl and takes to it pretty well too.  I guess Perceptor really wanted to be a human-sized geisha.  WTF, Transformers?  As a kid, I found this episode very strange and a bit of Star Trek feel to it.  Sometimes TF and GI Joe would have some strange things in them.  

This really happened on the show.  It makes no sense, but it did happen.
