Super7 Transformer 'Reflector' figure
£14.99
There are some figures that stand out not because they were the biggest or the most powerful, but because they felt different. Reflector is one of those pieces. Not a lone warrior, not a single transformation, but a trio working as one — a concept that made him instantly unique in the original Transformers line.
Originally released as part of the Generation 1 range, Reflector broke the mould by combining three robots into a single camera mode. It was a clever idea that leaned into the more experimental side of early toy design, where playability and imagination came first. Instead of straightforward transformation, you had interaction, assembly, and a completely different way of thinking about what a Transformer could be.
On screen, Reflector was just as distinctive. Often seen documenting events for the Decepticons, he wasn't front and centre in battle, but always present, always watching. That gave him a different kind of presence — quieter, but no less important. A background figure that somehow became memorable precisely because he wasn't trying to steal the spotlight.
This piece carries that same energy. It represents a time when toys were allowed to be a bit strange, a bit creative, and completely unapologetic about it. It is not about complexity for the sake of it, it is about originality and the kind of design thinking that made the 80s such a strong era for collectibles.
Whether you remember him from the cartoon or recognise the concept instantly, Reflector is one of those figures that feels like a proper find. Something a little different, a little rarer, and very much rooted in the golden age of Transformers.
