Nah, it will likely be a Snowpiercer cross over edition at twice the price, heck, two and a half times the price.

Greetings Seibertronians! Fellow Seibertron user, Dominus Prime, has let us know that YouTube toy reviewer, Kremzeek Reviews, has done a review for the forthcoming Transformers Generations Selects Shattered Glass Set! The set includes Shattered Glass versions of Ratchet (redeco'ed from Earthrise Deluxe Class Ratchet, which is being released under the Galactic Odyssey Collection) and Optimus Prime (redeco'ed from Earthrise Leader Class Optimus Prime, just without the trailer).

The Shattered Glass universe was created by Fun Pub for their BotCon 2008 set (and featured regularly thereafter). The concept, was inspired and homaging the Mirror Universe from the Star Trek franchise, whose episodes featuring the concept were titled similarly (e.g. "Mirror, Mirror", "Through the looking glass" and "Shattered Mirror").

We have embedded the review below for your convenience:

What do you think of this review? Are you excited to add these to your shelf? Let us know in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews!

Now that they're next to each other, I notice more of the differences than I did before. I might have to pick up the new one if it's as structurally sound or better than the PoTP version. The colors look good on both, but I like the toon/comic-accurate chest and head even better.

Yeah, and the Twitter comments mention that Takara also kept some of the toy sticker-based paint apps of the Hasbro version so as to keep the Takara version from looking too plain.

I can all but guarantee that this will not be structurally better than the Hasbro release. They would have to remove the ball joints in the limb bots and replace them with ratchets, to start.

For one, Sinnertwin and Cutthroat are mistransformed in leg mode: Sinnertwin's shoulders are supposed to be swung back like in monster mode, then have the feet peg into the back where the robot mode legs are (same for Snarl btw), while Cutthroat's arms are supposed to be straight down along the body like in monster mode. Not that would make the latter any sturdier...

They did the same for the Dinobots, so not surprising. I know some fans complain about the stickers on the PotP versions, however I don't understand the reason to remove the ones that aren't obscuring any new molded details.

Cartoon-accuracy. It's Takara's thing.

Yeah, I know all about that, and I'm all for it. I just don't see how the stickers take away from that.

It's detail that wasn't in the cartoon models, so from Takara's view, it doesn't belong.

SPACE ARTILLERY MODE is possible

I keep forgetting about that mode. So I guess that makes him a 7-changer.

I count 6
1.Super megatron
2.Ultra Megatron
3.Megatron Omega Perfect mode
4.Super Jet
5.Ultra Tank
6.Space Artillery

Im counting Megatron Omega under Ultra Megatron do to being the exact same just with the alternate face instead of the normal face

The manga considers Megatron Omega to be a separate mode since its power is increased from Ultra Megatron.

I like both PotP Volcanicus and Abominus better than their Selects counterparts. That's good, because it means I won't want to buy them again. They're perfectly acceptable options for those who didn't get them the last time around, though.

For whatever reason, screen accuracy is less important to me for the characters from 1986 on.

Same, I'm perfectly happy with the potp versions.

For those who might have preordered WFC-GS22 Black Roritchi, have you received anything in regards to a delay? I ended up preordering mine from Entertainment Earth, and just saw the expected ship date change from December 2020, to March 2021. Things happen, I am not upset about it but just wondered if Hasbro Pulse or any other sites has shown a shift in a expected ship date.

SGM

Edit:

Strangely enough just received noticed yesterday that this order was processed and shipped. Not complaining and things do change, so I am definitely not complaining.
