Motto: "I once pooped an Energon Cube!"
Weapon: Dino-Missiles
:D
This is rather nice looking, possibly more so than the Green version!

Im not really on board with all this Shattered Glass Universe :???:
Just when did the whole SG thing kick off?

Was the SG thing just a way to roll out (pun intended) redecos of any previous mold but tie them to their own universe so it seems like 'not another repaint'? :lol:

By the way, well done Daimchoc for coming up trumps again with the latest breaking news and photos!
Someone give this man a job on the News Crew!! ;)

Interesting, looks pretty good.

I'm just wondering how many takers these 3Ps are going to find for 500-600 dollar gestalt repaints. $1200 for two of the same sets is a ton when so much other official and 3P stuff is in the pipeline.
FOR SALE:
Takara Tomy Optimus Prime Dual Model Kit
UPDATED PRICE: new, unopened (minor box damage): $90 + S/H

PM me if you're interested.

I'm surprised they think there's enough interest in this (especially considering the expense) to warrant a run of them. I'm sure they know what they're doing, I'm just a little surprised...

Well, why not? They have the molds, they may as well make use of them. I don't know how much interest there is in this, but I guess we'll see.

I like the SG concept, but never got into it. Still a few figures have wormed their way into my collection. AM Thundercracker, Galvatron, and SG Ravage, notably. All for different reasons.

Motto: ""Assumption is the mother of all screw ups.""
Weapon: Saw-Edged Pincer
I would rather have a G2 yellow Hercules. Holding back on yellow Giant hoping it gets a KO. And yes the SG concept is a scheme to make people buy repaints. But at least Funpub has been playing it off smoothly by making most the newer SG repaints match Diaclone, KISS players, Obscure G1 characters, etc. Kind of like dual purpose figures. Patriot Devy doesnt resemble anything to my knowledge other than shattered glass.

BotCon 2008 is when it all started.

Now shut up and take my money!

Very cool. All the SG stuff that keeps popping up makes me regret not getting into that universe. I can't imagine they'll have -that- hard a time selling these repaints. In my eyes Shattered Glass is just as obscure as G2.

I like Hercules but Giant is closer to the depicted images in the SG comic. I would choose a white Giant I would snap it up. some of us like the SG universe, just look at my sig :)

Did anyone else notice they combined them with the limbs swapped left to right? Exgraver is now the left arm, etc.

I'm more interested in buying these than the green version, because SG Constructicons have never gotten any toy before!
