Shattered Glass Thread

[Soundwave2.0]

No, I'm pretty sure Flamewar was released in SG because there was no other way to budget that extensive a deco in any other line. She's a deluxe with a Battlemaster accessory, but only $7 USD cheaper than SG Slicer, who comes with a whole extra deluxe figure!

Whatever SG figures Hasbro releases, it's going to boil down to the decos someone there wants to see produced but can't work in to other lines.

What deco would likely be used and wanted for Galvatron if there is one?

What deco would likely be used and wanted for Galvatron if there is one?

Likely this but on a non Galvatron mold:

 

[Haywire]

This. SG Galvatron is a typical Galvatron deco on an atypical Galvatron figure. If Hasbro chooses to revisit SG Galvatron, the only likely surprise will be the mold they use.
On other figures, they've stayed pretty faithful to established SG decos, but there's no rule that says they always will. And, again, if there is a deco someone at Hasbro wants to release on a particular mold, but can't quite fit it into another line, it might just turn up in SG.

Why was the SG Galavtron a redco of Evac and just recolor a previous Galavtron figure?

 

[Haywire]

At the time SG Galvatron came out, the only Galvatron figures were the original G1 toy and the Universe Galvatron; nobody would have wanted another redeco of the Universe figure. The next best figure would have been Energon Megatron, and they had already used that for SG Megatron.

Why did they decided to do a SG Galvatron at the time?

I believe the story called for it, thou I could be wrong as I not read those comics as they were exclusive to club and I wasn't nor have been a member

 

[Shadewing]

A fan actually made it, it was a custom the liked so much they decided to make it offical and release an actual SG Galvatron based on it.

 

[The Phazer]

I wonder if they might save SG Galvatron if they make an animated inspired Legacy Megatron at some point - a repaint of a helicopter Megatron with a new head feels like it would work?

Maybe depending how the Megatron actually looks, other wise, I think they might opt to use one of two molds:
First off, about the most obvious to me, that be Siege Springer
Secondly, Selects Super Megatron, I know its a heavy retool of TR Galvatron, but what to stop them from retooling it again, this is just my wild card thought, I don't see the Legacy/Kingdom mold getting used because the changes in colour would be very little, thou I could be wrong

While I agree, you never know they could do what they did with Megatron and add new parts to try and get a new alt mode out of him. Still not likely, but also not implausible at the same time.

It's like I said here:

Looking at the toy mold in my hands right now...

With a little imagination, I could see them finagling a helicopter out of the cannon mode with a little retooling and some new add-on accessories. Namely, by turning the cannon mode around and making the helicopter from the backwards cannon. Add a new cockpit piece to connect where the robot feet are, a big new rotor where the little cannon piece attaches to the top of the cannon (it'll have to go somewhere else, now), fold down the fin at the top of the cannon to give more clearance to the new rotor, maybe retool the tank treads to instead be landing skids, etc. etc.

Leaving the fusion cannon attached to the back would then make it look like a sci-fi rocket-powered helicopter.

In other actual Shattered Glass news:

I don't collect Shattered Glass other than the sneaky "only way to get the character" figures like Slicer, but dang if that isn't a beautiful deco.

 

[Sabrblade]

Put him next to the Titan class toy and he's basically "Trypticon Jr."

 

[MrBlud]

That is a really great deco!

 

[Confuzor]

I think Imma need to buy that. When are we expecting to see it go for preorder?

 

[Soundwave2.0]

In other actual Shattered Glass news:

What does it mean if it is not going to be pulse exclusive anymore and what do you think about the likely hood on they keep doing comics with or not?
Hasbro may have the current publisher do it and may not reveal it yet because they have to yet say who has the comic rights.

 

[Andrusi]

Nobody knows.

Nobody knows.

I could have slso asked what Starblade thought.
