Reflector is / are (a) Decepticon(s) from the Animated continuity family

You may not have seen Reflector yet, but he (they?) has seen you. This espionage expert is actually composed of three semi-autonomous component robots: Spectro, Spyglass, and their leader Viewfinder. The three have the ability to generate hard-light holograms of themselves to fill out the Decepticon ranks.

Fiction

Animated cartoon continuity

Reflector and many of his clones were present at the Battle for Iacon. They mainly served as cannon-fodder. The original Reflector(s) survived the battle. Blackarachnia finds them creepy. The AllSpark Almanac II

Near the end of the war, after the Battle for Iacon, Ratchet walked past a Reflector unit's unconscious body while looking to help the heavily damaged Omega. TransWarped

Notes

• This character was revealed in a Tech Spec and bio published in the Transformers Collectors' Club Magazine. All other characters getting such treatment had gone on to appear in the Animated cartoon, and the same was planned for Reflector, who would have shown up in a flashback sequence in "TransWarped" depicting the Battle for Iacon at the conclusion of the Great War. Derrick J. Wyatt explained that his appearance (and indeed, the whole scene) had to be edited out for timing reasons.^[1]
• Yes, they had time for Searchlight, but not Reflector. Ouch.
• According to The Allspark Almanac II, Viewfinder, Spectro, and Spyglass have a shared altmode: they combine to form a Cybertronian tank armed with a Photon T-34 cannon. This altmode was apparently going to cameo in "Human Error, Part II", but was cut out for unknown reasons.

Foreign names

• Japanese: Reflector (リフレクター Rifurekutā)
