BotCon 2012 Custom Class Figure Revealed! Shattered Glass Longarm

I want one really bad. I just refuse to pay after market prices.

since he's Shattered Glass, it might be that this Evil Autobot is infiltrating the Heroic Decepticon ranks by impersonating one of their high-ranking officers.

isnt that just that awful painted figure cheetimus primal did?

looks pretty much like its his custom

Pretty plain... Like someone mentioned, its probably the Evil Longarm posing as Shockwave to enter the ranks of the Decepticons...

Psssst, Animated Shockwave + Alternator Shockblast + Shattered Glass = this guy

sigh. yes, I already figured that out, just hadn't felt the need to spell it out quite so obliquely for the slow kids at the back trying to chew their GoBots heads off.

Except we already have a Shattered Glass Shockwave in fiction. He's modeled after Energon Shockblast with colors opposite on the color wheel.

Of course, I'd forgotten about that, it kinda makes Longarm's disguise pointless. Unless this is what he looks like pre-disguise? In which case, Shattered Glass is making less and less sense as time goes on. Still, nice colours on a great toy, I wouldn't turn one down. Not gonna be scouring the aftermarket for one mind you, I might be Scottish, but I'm no Scrooge McDuck.

Makes you wonder why they just didn't offer a repaint of Shockblast as SG Shockwave.

Why not use Energon Six Shot instead?

looks cool..havent been posting in a while dealing with bad medical issuse

It's the same basic deal as Animated Cheetor: "How many homages can we fit into one figure?" Ani Cheetor was Beast Wars and TransTech in an Animated figure. This one is just on the surface Animated and Alternators in a Classics figure and that's without even knowing the back story they gave him!

Stuff like this is why I love being a Club member, they come up with the coolest new ideas from the history of Transformers!

Did anyone else notice the car is missing it's driver's side front wheel and seems to be floating?

According to TFWiki, SG Longarm is captain of the SG Autobot Autotroopers, and is going undercover posing as G1 Shockwave to investigate the conflict between the Classicverse and the Shatteredverse.
