Surprisingly, my Blurr just shipped today, a full month and a half early. Interesting.

My Blurr doesn't appear to have shipped yet, but I have been charged for him. Good to know.

I got charged, too.

Looks like Ultra Magnus is gonna be wearing armor going by the preview...

I got Blurr in hand today. I haven't had a chance to handle the figure but I was floored when I saw that Pulse is shipping the comic loose with no protection whatsoever. They couldn't even spring for a bag?

I won't get mine until Monday, but I'm curious: Which cover did you get?

Correct me if I am mistaken, but wasn't one of the incentives of ordering the toys, was that the covers would be exclusive to Pulse? (not available at retail?) So everyone who ordered Blurr should be getting this same one?



Honestly, this first one would be a letdown if I had ordered it, considering of all 4 issue #1 covers, THIS is probably the least appealing. Hopefully, for the sake of those that ordered other SG toys, they have more appealing covers.

Yeah, that's correct, but I don't recall ever seeing the cover - and it wasn't shown in the retail copy I picked up yesterday.

ok understood. If it was a *spoiler*, then I apologize. I just looked up on TF Wiki and found them all

Nah, no spoiler - I was just curious is all. It's not a big deal.

Mine should be here tomorrow, a little later than usual, Pulse stuff usually comes in two days not three. But yeah, very early, was not expecting that at all. They've delayed so many things, when was the last time Pulse got something early?

Have some pictures guys. Overall, this isn't bad. I did not get the SS86 one because it honestly looked bad to me, and the headsculpt was the worst part. But this figure fixed that with an awesome sculpt, I love the eye patch. The color scheme is also really nice looking, i prefer it over the standard Blurr colors. Mine is a bit weak in the knees, hips, and elbows, but not enough to truly be problematic. Overall, he's neat, and a good start to the line.

Known leaker JTPrime just dropped the bomb on what Wave 2 of Shattered Glass will be.

Character-wise, that is. Molds are still unconfirmed.

They are Soundwave, Blaster, Ultra Magnus, and Wheeljack.

Well anybody that’s not interested in SG but wanted a G2 Slicer or Micron Legend Rampage and a Powered Convoy should be happy about that.

I said nothing of that.

Where/when did he say that?

On the Discord server for Allspark.com.

Surprising for a few reasons. Firstly, he usually frequents other parts and secondly, unlike actual leakers, JTPrime just lists product codes from order sheets he gets either from dealers or as a dealer (which Catz does as well). So seeing him just list off characters is different than usual, and sadly not something I can news at the moment even if he's been reliable in the past.

Maybe, but not for certain. We've had a leak say that Laser Optimus Prime is coming and that would make for a better fit for SG UM's more familiar second alt mode. Hard to predict exactly what they would do, if series 2 is announced and released anything like series 1 then we're probably a whole year away from series 2 beginning to be released so they could easily release a Laser Prime in the Spring or early Summer and SG UM not being released until early 2023.

I'd be excited for Slicer if it wasn't for the obvious evil Autobot symbols on the sides (doubt they'd give us decal options but you never know). It almost makes getting actual Slicer quite a bit harder since doing the same figure with different symbols doesn't seem to be something Hasbro wants to do themselves if WFC Soundblaster is anything to go by.

...this isn't the first time this set of characters has come up as an SG leak (as I posted it here last time it came up and then we spent a page and a half arguing about Magnus), but hearing that JTPrime reconfirmed it is good news in terms of it being legit.

And for those saying this is out of character for JTPrime.....yeah, but JTPrime and Catz and I think one other leaker also cryptically dropped stuff together that led to potentially revealing an entire wave of what's gonna replace the Walmart Netflix figures (that I haven't posted anywhere here yet because I'm not sure where to do so), so they seem simultaneously more and less free with their leaks these days.

If it's that different from what we know is happening next year then start a new topic. The Netflix line had its own topic after all, as did the Retro Headmasters.

I will gladly get right on that...sometime tomorrow, when I've slept and it's no longer almost 2 in the morning and I can more coherently recap the weirdness of that whole thing to y'all.

In the Blurr issue of Shattered Glass, Magnus' silhoette was that of Siege/Kingdom/WFC.

Speaking of figures in the comic. They also had the Headmasters with their TR/Retro look. That would be a surprise, SG versions of those characters.
