Right, the "Shattered Glass" collection is five figures, but they released seven including the Amazon two pack. I don't think there is any reason to conclude they won't make more, but this is the end of the line. I do assume they'll be less common.

These were never going to be big sellers, they're just ways to make use of existing molds. To a later point, they would have sold more if they weren't exclusives, but more significantly, there would be more unsold merchandise. That's the bigger issue.

That Jetfire look pretty nice in these colors. I don't care at all that he's "Shattered Glass". For me, he's only NEMESIS JETFIRE and he can stand on his own.

Unless I randomly happen upon him in store and on sale, I won't be getting him though. Having the regular Siege is enough for me.

I'm surprised they didn't paint him in Starscream's colors.

Dang it, Hasbro. You know I have to get this.

Anybody else notice that With the green/yellow paint added he looks more like Universe Storm Cloud?

These colors make the mold look fantastic. Although I already have the ehobby version, so I probably won't get this. There's just too many cool things coming out; can't get them all.

looks sweet!

"Behold the eternal glory of Jetfire!"

Those colors look really good on him!

Day 560 of waiting for Transformers Armada Masterpiece news.

Indeed, it will be Dark Skyfire in my collective.

I think this repaint was long overdue and should have hit Generations Jetfire...'nuff said!

Jetfire is Available on Pulse now $92. If it ever goes on sale I may get one. I doubt it will though, so that is fine. SG is cool, but just not my thing, unless of course they did a SG combiner or something like that

If Titan-class is being retired, at least for a bit, and the rumors about Commander-class Motormaster are true, this figure might be my last large-scale figure for a while.

Yes, I think so too.

Btw, for those unfamiliar with the "original" version:

What rumors? That they're making him? I have heard any details.

I've seen several tweets with screencaps from TFW, I think, about Motormaster being a Commander-class figure with combiners being done again. I haven't seen anything about it in a couple of months, but back in May, there were many tweets about it.

From a May 22nd Tweet

I know a LOT of people didn't like the CW Stunticons, well specifically Motormaster. However...I'd still rather get Combiners that haven't had a modern release than redo ones from just a few years ago. If this team is a one-off then fine, but there are still so many characters (both combiners and non-combiners) that need new toys before redoing what was already done, even if it wasn't ideal. I mean we've had 3 Astrotrains since 2013. I thought Siege/ER was pretty good, but I still see people wanting yet another Astrotrain

I believe the Motormaster rumor is that because of how poorly recieved the CW Stunticons as a whole were, they're redoing Menasor, but they're not diving into redoing them, and Menasor is serving as a test for whether or not there's a demand for redone combiners

If they do end up being redone, I HOPE they retain the CW system. I already have a CW Motormaster (with the fixed hip ratchets).

Although... I'm gonna be a troll and predict CW re-releases... with Motormaster as the original CW Voyager with trailer!

Back to SG Jetfire!

Either way...if it is new or CW, if it still uses the established Generations Combiner System (and the Trailer also integrates with Menasor), I'd be ok with all of that.

I hope this means they'll eventually redo Bruticus and Predaking, since I never get PotP or MMC version. And I've yet to see a set of combaticons that's worth it imo

A new devastator would be cool too but if not I'll just get GT Rebuilder

One thing that makes SG Jetfire a little easier to buy is the flipping insignia. Nothing stopping me from making him an Autobot who turned Decepticon to mirror the path the original took.

I really wish they get redone. While the system and figures were and to some degrees are a TON of fun, the joints are garbage. The ratchets didn't work as well as they should've and the individual limb joints couldn't hold up anything heavier than a piece of paper. I have a Piranacon that's missing an arm because I just don't feel like opening up the final two members of the Seacons since I know exactly what to expect.

Jetfire looks great in those colors. I preordered him to complete the set.

i hope the con badge is still there, I want to make this one a con.

It also makes me regret getting the original release, I don't really need the exact same commander twice

I gave up. Transformers fans are still *CONSTANTLY* asking for Devastator, Predaking & Blaster. No matter how many we already have I still see those 3 names popping up constantly.

Once in a while Hasbro throws me a little scrap or crumb like Fangry. And I jump on it like a starving dog. And that's the best it's gonna get.

I wonder how many years will go by & how many more Devastators & Predakings we'll get before they give us Squeezeplay or Horri-Bull. It's been 5 or 6 years since they released Chop Shop & still no sign of Ransack, Barrage or Venom.

It's really hard to stay interested. I'm hanging on by a thread. They're releasing just enough cool new stuff to keep me in.

Rumours persist that we may be seeing the Autobot Headmaster Juniors next year (Siren, Nightbeat and Hosehead) in a mix of the Generations retail line and Selects line, and I'd wager the Decepticons won't be far behind. Though they still have the advantage over the deluxe Insecticons in that they appeared in a Transformers TV show.

Basically, just take what you can get as some fans are still waiting for updates to their favourite figures.
