Okay, so I've posted this in the Random Image thread, but in short: The new Trigger Gridman show is out, and apparently someone has a big Shattered Glass fancrush.. (part 1 of many)

 

The main character is based on Classics Cliffjumper, who was of course the main protagonist of BotCon's 2008 original Shattered Glass story. His shoes mirror Cliff's alt-mode, and his back-pack is based on the jetski he comes with.

 

 

 

His best friend, meanwhile, is SG Sideswipe. who was also Cliff's friend. Notice the cut on the purple eight, like Sideswipe's Autobot symbol, the word "TURBO" on a yellow part of his backpack strap, and the dark gray lines on his green shirt.

 

 

Other classmates are also based on SG characters, like Starscream here. Notice the pattern on her tie, and when the animation goes closely on her hair clip, you can see it's based on the Red Earth Planet Key his toy came with.

 

 

Next up is Soundwave. Her white facemask, the green scrunchie matching his bandana, and of course, the white cat labeled Ravage on her little blanket thing.

 

 

 

 

To be continued.

I think the AOE Dinobots and friggin Longview(!) show up as well.

[Tyranno]

It's not just SG. There's a group of four who are based on movie Grimlock, Slug, Scorn, and Strafe.

 

 

The pins in particular match up to details on the movie Dinobots, with the buttons on the guy on the far right making the flaps of his collar look like Strafe's two heads.

Next up, more Shattered Glassmates:

 

First. we have Optimus. She's fairly self explanatory

 

 

 

Next up is Meagtron, aside from her color scheme, her backpack is based on Megs' Rumbler tank.

 

 

Now is Thundercracker (to the right of Prime in the first image)

 

 

 

And Rodimus

 

And as Tyranno pointed out, the AOE Dinobots show up as well

 

Next up, micellaneous

[Jenny]

Next up, one guy is using a pair of binoculars, based on Real Gear Robot Longview

 

 

 

Additionally, SG PRime shows up again, and her headphones pretty directly ref Classics Prime's headsculpt. And her cracked yellow glasses ref her windshield

 

 

 

 

 

One character has a logo on her apron, which is a pattern from G1 Megatron's torso (she's on the lefT)

 

 

Additionally, I've had it pointed out that Sideswipe's back pack might be Whisper, but I'm not sure.

1 more thing, one Japanese fan on Twitter seems to think that even the monsters might be based on guys:

 

This guy, for eaxmple, has the black deco with teal accents of Scourge/Nemesis Prime

 

 

This guy looks like Beast Wars II Powerhug

 

 

 

And this guy looks like Go! Sensuimaru

 

[Marduk]

 And now my Twitter feed this morning makes a whole lot more sense...

 

... Is a sentence I never thought I'd have to make.

 

~Marduk (Seriously.  Thanks for this.  I had no idea what these were.)

[Locoman]

This isn't your average, everyday fanwank.

This is.... ADANCED fanwank.

[Tyranno]

That first one looks like Nemesis Prime crossed with Baron Karza

[Jenny]

UPDATE ABOUT MEGATRON G1:

 

Specifcally, her logo's based on Megatron's JAPANESE release

 

Along with gold eyes and blue pants

As Zama Kei-sensei personally attests, the director of SSSS.Gridman, Amemiya Akira-sensei, is a Transformers (Shattered Glass) fan. Amemiya-sensei designed the SG Rodimus T-shirt sold by Verse Comics at Tokyo Comic-Con 2017.

What are all these Transformers doing in my Superhuman Samurai Syber Squad

[General Tekno]

Also, the main character designer for the show is Masaru Sakamoto, who has artwork in the Japanese fan-artbooks that I have.

 

His TFA artbook entry was a pinup of SG Optimus Prime.

...there's a cute anime girl based on that eye-searing Thundercracker deco. What.

[Jalaguy]

Both screenshots I've seen of Thundercracker have her hanging around with this person, is she based on someone...?

Edited by Jalaguy, 13 October 2018 - 02:33 PM.

[Jenny]

She just seems to be generic anime girl, as far as I can tell.

[Paladin]

Still not enough Tim Curry. 

[Tyranno]

Dark gray and purple with lines make me think SG Blurr for some reason.

[Jenny]

 

There's also this girl, who's not ringing any bells...
