You will buy this for 180$?

Cheaper than MP-10

http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=TAK11952&mode=retail

Also, bbts has mpsgop slated for a November arrival

i got myne for $80.
but who would pay $180 for a repaint when you can get the original cheaper ^^

Because it's a different character?

its not really a different character just a repaint

Shattered glass prime is a vastly different character from g1 prime - that's like saying g1 prime and g1 megs have the same character - they don't, not even remotely >:oP

It is, by definition, a completely different character. It's like saying Thundercracker's the same character as Starscream because he's just a repaint.

All the seekers being the same character, now there's a thought...

They're all meeker-seekers :-P

This. I got the Hasbro Prime because his colours were closer to what I wanted and his eyes aren't dead.

I get that, but then what is the use of discussing that in a thread about the release of a Hasbro Masterpiece figure?

Because I said it was cheaper than buying an MP-10 not the Hasbro Masterpiece optimus and both you and hellscream attempted to prove me wrong by saying they're the same thing.

you're gonna be run out of money if this sells well enough for hasbro to release the whole line in shattered glass deco's :HEADHURTS:

News Credits: 191 · by **Kurona** » Mon Sep 19, 2016 11:33 am

To be fair the others wouldn't cost much - this IS MP-10 after all. A Shattered Glass Wheeljack or Sideswipe wouldn't be as hard on the wallet.

I'm honestly surprised this is legitimate. He looks nice enough, but it bums me out. Before the MP10 mold is retired I would like to see these (and would rather have before SG):
-G2
-White Magnus
-Diaclone Blue
-Dead Grey (sleep mode)

Would your shelf be able to survive for more than two secodns?

I'm so happy this is coming out. I adore Shattered Glass. Hopefully it is the first of many. MP Delta Magnus is perfect as a SG Ultra Magnus too. There are also a couple of third party products out there that can add to the SG army.

I never said that dude. And I didnt try to prove you wrong either. I was just asking what the point was of comparing this price to a takara toy when its a hasbro release.

I want it, I do. But this just opens the floodgates for W-A-Y T-O-O M-A-N-Y repaints of other figures. It's bad enough, already, that G2 exists...

But shattered glass is awesome and utterly unique and utterly utterly not G2.

So I am ok with that.

I want shattered glass, so much shattered glass. Animated would have had a shattered glass if it has gone to the fourth season, and I wish IDW could have something like that. I really really do love it

It's a matter of preference, and what you collect. No right or wrong her. I just pre-ordered mine. Can't wait.
Personally, I'm an Optimus worshipper (G1, mind you). :shhhh!!!

Oh, crap. I just said G1. Shatter glass is not g1, is it?!

It's basically the evil counterpart to a version of G1. Pretty sure Optimus can let you off with that one

Except there aren't that many G2 option for Masterpiece. Inferno isn't that much different between G1 and G2, they've already done Sideswipe, Jazz hasn't had a G1 figure yet (nor have the other Dinobots). That leaves Grimlock (could happen), Optimus Prime (YOTG is close enough), Starscream (feels like they would have done him by now if they were interested), and Ramjet (already an exclusive so unlikely). Hasbro and Takara Tomy aren't quite as repaint crazy as people think they are.
