Those Decepticon attack robots standing over there have given me an idea.

Inside...a Transformer Not Sold in Any Store! was one of a series of miniature pack-in flyers from which various Transformers could be ordered. This particular brochure featured Reflector.

  • Release date: 1986
REFLECTOR, the Decepticon reconnaissance robot, turns the fine art of observation into the cruel craft of destruction. Made of three Decepticon attack robots — Spectro, Viewfinder, and Spyglass — REFLECTOR wields power with the cold click of a shutter.promotional blurb, "Inside...A Transformer Not Sold in Any Store!"

Synopsis

Hey, Lloyd, I'm ready to be incinerated.

Like Look Inside for a Special Offer!, this brochure was extremely tiny, folding down to just over 1" x 2". This small size allowed it to be packed in with smaller toys such as the Mini Vehicles and combiner limbs, alongside small sticker sheets and combiner instruction sheets. It featured a stylized image of Spectro on the front cover, with new painted box-art style art for all three of Reflector's components inside.

The text within is not a story; it simply assures readers that "REFLECTOR is an evil marauder—not a working camera" (since the two are often confused), and lists his accessories.

The offer expired September 30, 1987. Reflector would set you back a mere $10.00 and 2 Robot Points each, plus $1.25 shipping and handling.

Good luck finding him for that much now.
