I certainly would not have minded that either

Get a load of that bio!

Ultra Magnus has become bored with warfare, having ended more sparks than he can count. He sets his sights on something greater, the destruction of the universe.

Taking a page out of his original incarnation's book it seems.

I wonder how accurate the Bios are to the IDW series, considering the tease we've had of Magnus so far in those.

Owning Siege Magnus, I saw no point in owning the Kingdom version.
But this SG one? OOOOoooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhh nice.

If it ever pop in at my local GameStop, I'm buying.

Maybe it's the Origin Matrix? Wasn't FunPub SG Magnus going after that to use with his sword right before his timely demise?

I mean literally how did it get there, it doesn't come with him. He's never been previously mentioned or shown coming with a Matrix and it isn't on his accessory list. I think somebody goofed.

That Matrix was seen in his very first reveal.

I rewatched it, I guess I misremembered it being there. Doesn't help that the Pulse listing doesn't mention it being included, but I do see it in one of the pictures.

I have Kingdom Magnus, I have the Optimus repaint of that cab on preorder, I should really grab this one as well, just to have the cab mold in red, white and blue. 8-)

Pulse just put up Blaster as a TF Tuesday offering.

News Credits: 4888 · Tue May 31, 2022 12:12 pm

Another week and another Transformers Tuesday. This time, Hasbro Pulse has put up Shattered Glass Blaster. Of course, we knew he was coming, but this is a Hasbro Pulse exclusive so this is the first chance of getting him. The price is $41.99 which includes an exclusive comic not available in any other way.

He is only open to premium members now but will soon be open for non premium members if there is enough stock left. Here is the link: https://hasbropulse.com/products/tra-gen-sg-voy-blaster

Ha! I was in the middle of doing the article. Would have rather the velocitron line be the big reveal of the day instead since we are bound to see the rest very very soon.

At that price he needs to come with two more cassettes. Passing due to price yet I'd be willing to pay stupid money on the original versions.

I specifically had logged into Pulse just to see if Velocitron was going up today when I saw Blaster, honestly.

Not that there's anything wrong with Shattered Glass, but Blaster is the one of the leaked 4 we knew of that I planned to pass on, and I actually forgot he hadn't already gone up when all those stock photos of him showed up.

I'll be buying that SG Blaster but only if I come across it live at GameStop.

All of the SG toys sell for $10 over retail because they include an exclusive comic. I'm willing to bet you could find someone willing to buy the comic and make up the difference.

Sadly not, IDW comics cant be worth more than 99p on a good day (The IDW Combiner Wars comics were pretty much worthless) and price difference here is £27 Kingdom Voyager (or £30 if paying for a legaccy version, because reasons -which is way better than if it had been studio series voyagers at £35 because more reasons) to Shattered Glass at £40.

It's so weird that we got G1 Eject with Kingdom Blaster, but it's next use was repainted as SG Rewind, when we've only seen SG Eject (He's Purple!) with Blaster in the comics so far.

Assuming the rumor that G1 Rewind comes with Twincast holds true, what will become of SG Eject?

They would have the release date be the same day as the Wreckers sets from Amazon

I really liked the shattered glass variants so far, so I've been picking them all up. Haven't read any of the comics though. I am still miffed that my SG optimus was missing part of his arm and couldn't get a replacement from Hasbro.

Wed Jun 01, 2022 12:21 pm

Neat deco but I'm not into buying over priced products that are simple repaints with junk thrown it to make it seem worth the price hike. Basically it's $55 due to shipping because it being a Pulse item and you can no longer get free shipping over $50 purchase. I'll just wait for Eject as single release as that's all I'm really after because I have G1 Blaster and this version would simply one of those cool factors.

I totally had to double check my Pulse orders because I forgot this hadn't been released yet.

I preordered him. He looks good, though I would have preferred a toy head or maybe a meaner looking head? Either way, looks good.

Now please, we need cons

Oh man, when looking at what the Prime/Ratchet set goes for now (see below), I can't believe I got mine for just $25 last year
