Seibertronians, today seems to be a day of random, unexpected Masterpiece rumors, and this seems to be no exception. Seibertronian Mindmaster has sent us what could possibly be an upcoming redeco of MP-10 Optimus Prime in his color scheme from the Shattered Glass continuity. The following image, revealed in a Facebook post from Planet Iacon (or Singapore Transformers Fans Unite!!), shows a scan from what appears to be an undisclosed Hasbro booklet detailing future releases, featuring the Alternate Universe Autobot.

Adding fuel to this rumor fire is another Facebook post, this time from Transformers Asia, saying that something is
"Coming this December
More information will follow soon"
This message is accompanied with a picture of the word "Shattered" over broken glass. Hmmmm...

Check out the image below!




So what do you think? Is it legit? Is it a very convincing digibash? Are you excited to see Shattered Glass make an entrance into the Masterpiece line? Both of these rumors are coming from Asian sources, but it's rumored to be a Hasbro product. Do you think it will ever see a U.S. release? Leave your thoughts in the comments below!

And, as always, keep your optics and audio sensors tuned to Seibertron.com for all the latest and greatest Transformers news on the net!

Cool as it looks, I reeeeeaaaaaalllllly hope not. That would just open the floodgates of possibility for any character to get the Shattered Glass treatment. Ain't nobody got the coin for that.

If it is a digibash then I fell the need to pay the person who made it. That is very convincing. If it's real, then I at least hope we'll get a Megatron. You cannot have one without the other.

He's nice - But I wonder if they have ever considered making the blue Cab Diaclone deco - complete with a Diaclone box and optional trailer stickers !

I do rather appreciate the KO for having till all are gone written on him. I do plan to eventually pick up the iGear one and the MP-10V SG if such a thing is produced too.

I would have bought the recent one but The QC is very poor on in so I need to see some more reviews and I believe there is another Factory doing one anyway.

The Bape's in Voyager form would be a delight too - I'll have to see if I can swing a source to get this - it really is a bit of a social embarrassment that I don't have a proper MP-01 or MP-10 at all of any colour... The joke being that I'd still likely buy the KO's over the real ones anyway as I think they are better decorated and I appreciate the larger and smaller size options.

I don't know if that Customiser who some how or other made Mini-MP-10 (like deluxe size or smaller) is ever going to get them manufactured or not.

Besides I still have a lot of AOE Optimus KO's to chase too (especially the little Deluxe/Voyager one & the Overscale of the Face swapping one).

I am so all for this. Not that I'd be able to afford this or any others any time soon, but it's still really cool.

Plus it means that characters that don't have an obvious redeco - like say, Jazz - to offset the production price mean they do have an obvious redeco now so they're more likely to be made. Bring it on tbh.

I know somebody that needs this

Looks like the back of a platinum box.

Interesting...but the only detail that suggests SG Prime is the broken window. Otherwise, it's just Prime with SG Prime's colors.

Yeah, he's unfortunately missing the scratched/dirty paint and the slapdash Autobot symbol.

Which makes me think it's just a very impressive custom or digibash...

I'm not so sure; they sometimes skimp out on details like this. They even missed "til all are gone" which makes me sad...

Still, if this is true, there's always Reprolabels.

I feel like including the trailer with this release would be overkill.

Edit: Though if they were going to include the trailer, that would have been a good place to apply the graffiti.

Jazz has Stepper and a G2 deco, plus Zoom Zoom if you want to get obscure.

Which makes me wonder why they're taking so long on Jazz. Is it a licensing issue?

What's the deal with Jackpot? I know that he shared an animated mold with Jazz.

Can't wait for a Megatron to go with this that uses the Energon Megatron design, opening the door to our new UT Masterpiece toy overlords.

I'll always dare to keep all my dreams alive.

If worse comes to worst, they could just reissue the original super-sized version of the Energon Megatron mold with a retooled head. I think that mold might scale well with the MP-10 mold.

Porsche is pretty weird about licensing; their exclusive video game licensing deal with EA is proof enough of that.

Well. This is an easy pass.

They could probably retool a Jackpot or Rad out of a Jazz mold.

Though they skipped a golden opportunity by not repainting Masterpiece Wheeljack into Slicer so I don't know what their feelings on Action Masters are?

I'm pretty sure super-sized Energon Megatron is way too short. The MP-10 mold is a bit taller than CW Megatron, a modern leader class figure. By weight, Energon Megatron rivals a modern leader class figure, but he's denser, and has a lot more backpack.

I would say they didn't and don't do Action Masters because American fiction and toys that never existed over there... but then I remembered the very topic of this thread

Look, I love love love Shattered Glass and its concepts, so this is very exciting for me. I really want to have some shattered glass in generations and MP and other lines

I'm gonna go out on a limb since I'm not at home to verify this, but I think they're both right around 9 in/23cm height.

Yeah I'd be down with Super Class Energon Megatron in SG colors as a stop gap until the utopian days where an MP of it exists

The origin of the Character does not preclude that character being "adopted" by the other market if they wish too.

I don't think just because something originated in a certain place it has to stay there there are more than one example of character leaking out of their set spots either a little bit or completely.

Sunstorm for example. White Astrotrain, Skyquake, King Atlas, Megaplex, Soundblaster, Twin Cast or Road Rage, also Crosscut, Black Shadow, Thunderwing, Straxus etc.. I don't have a problem with that something like an Auto-trooper would be a welcome addition in other places besides Animated and Kiss Players.

I'm waiting for Hasbro to "adopt" Artfire like they did Stepper (as Ricochet) and Crosscut already, Not to mention Detritus, Magnificus, Tigertrack Deepcover & Clamp Down really deserve to be woven in more to the US market too.

Conversely I'd like Takara to adopt some more Actionmaster Characters besides Banzai-Tron (Alternity) into their brands.

And both markets would be doing us a favour to do some character farming from the Euro-Japanese era too... though to be fair we do get the odd Thunderclash toy.

-------

I'm actually most surprised by the shiny paint than I am anything else about - Shattered-Optimus (I hope its not fake) not that it matters to much what with potential and existing KO already).

Bit odd that the G1 KO makers have not made a Shattered G1 Optimus yet - that seems an obvious idea to me to see done using those appropriated GiG Moulds.

Lucky for you guys I'm at home.

I can confirm that it works; they're both sorta at the same height.
