I agree. Plus it would be way more appropriate.
As for the colors, it's just Metrotitan colors.
Well the original SG figures mostly used Unicron Trilogy molds, so using Cybertron Metroplex would be a nice nod to that.

I do want a SG Titan yes. It would be a subline one, much like Black Zarak this year, so we could have 2 next year.
That's my guess.Emerje wrote:Rodimus Prime wrote:Well, according to Hasbro Pulse, the subtitle of the Shattered Glass II comic story is "War on Titan" so you might actually get your wish.D-Maximal_Primal wrote:Rodimus Prime wrote:You would like it to be the titan for next year?

Is that an Attack on Titan reference?![]()

The original SG Jazz and Galvatron were in G1 colors, among others.MaximalNui wrote:So, I guess SG Wheeljack calls himself Slicer when infiltrating the Decepticons? Because otherwise it's really weird that Slicer's the only character that shares the same color scheme between positive and negative universes.

That bit of weirdness aside, I really like how, between SG Ultra Magnus, this toy and the extra heads from the Creatures Collide 4-pack, Hasbro's really pushing this "multiple characters in one figure" approach. The only way it could be better is if they also had replacement insignias for the SG characters, but that's mostly just perfectionist nitpicking.

So far, in the comics, "Slicer" is clearly Wheeljack, and is working for Ultra Magnus, having infiltrated Goldbug's troops as a scientist. So it would seem that Shattered Glass Wheeljack is really into espionage. I'd wager they went with Shattered Glass Wheeljack as a happy little coincidence to homage a Shattered Glass character AND a very rarely depicted obscure Generation 1 character. Which is good, because the more people that are interested in getting these figures, the more likely Hasbro is to continue the line!
They could easily do this again with a Shattered Glass Metroplex that doubles as a Generation 1 Metrotitan. People have been foaming at the mouth for a proper Metrotitan toy for a while now, especially considering his presence in the old IDW run and Takara Legends comics. They just need to put a little effort in to replace Legacy Metroplex's head, and maybe replace the buzzsaw axe with something that becomes City-mode kibble creatively.
Btw, recent in-hand photos from the designer shows that Shattered Glass Slicer has a Purple Decepticon Insignia, and not a Red one.

I know nothing of the character. But just looking at TF wiki really quick....looks like she originally had the more traditional purple/black Decepticon colors, then Wings Universe changed her look.
So maybe SG Flamewar is basically looking like Wings Universe -current Flamewar, as opposed to her original appearance?

Gauntlet101010 wrote:Seems like a waste. Too similar to regular Flamewar. Did they just not have a slot for her so they figured SG could do double duty and be both regular and SG FW?
Well. I wouldn't have gotten it either way.
Only if we get a Wave 3. This makes the fifth out of the five Wave 2 figures known: Blaster, Ultra Magnus, Slicer, Soundwave, and now Flamewar.-Kanrabat- wrote:A SG Metroplex based on the upcoming Legacy is still highly possible.
