The only goog thing about that awful 12-issue series was that cover; great homage, loved the decepticon symbol on the camera.

"Camera?" That's Reflector: the Polymechanical Paparazzi!

...I always wanted a Reflector toy. They had adverts in the Marvel comics at the time for mail-order toy stores that either sold bootlegs or never bothered transcribing the character names. Either way, their nebulous (HA HA SEE WHAT ME DO THERE?) descriptions (typewritten!) and sketchily-drawn depictions made them all the more enticing.

OK, that's pretty awesome. But Meg's camera must be huge!
