Oh, it's been mentioned, just not in here.

I will be interested to see those SG colors on the SS86 one, just hope it has a new fiercer looking head and maybe actually a sword too

It's the possibility of a sword that interests me the most.

Not adding a sword accessory would disappoint me, especially after they did it with Magnus. Extra accessories seem to be on the table for any SG release.

I'd be surprised if they didn't add one, though are they going to throw an sg wheelie into the mix, or was that a completely separate mold :-?

They had better get rid of that Wheelie mold forever, that was miserable

While agreed, I do wonder if one Sword will be enough to offset the unused wheelie plastic (imagine if they included 6 Swords here just to get the people wanting them for the other Dinobots :lol:

)

Having the stellar Siege Ultra Magnus, I thought getting the Kingdom version would have been redundant. But then came along SG Magnus. Man, what a beauty! And by buying it from AliExpress instead of Pulse, I saved over 30$can, factoring taxes and shipping.

I didn't needed the Delta Magnus head and I don't get the Matrix. Both remain boxed. I also bought the Reprolabels and the filler parts. I had to sand down the pegs of the missile pods who were painted along the rest. Now they can fit.

My SG Magnus looks really EVIL! :twisted:

The total cost was still expensive as balls, but we'll worth it. ;)^

Thanks to an interview with Hasbro designer Evan Brooks on Comicbook.com, we have another reveal for Transformers Tuesday, Shattered Glass Grimlock! A recolor of SS86 Leader Class Grimlock, we can see SG Grimlock in all his glory. His coloring takes inspiration from Trypticon; many Shattered Glass figures take their color schemes from their regular universe counterparts.

Transformers Generations Shattered Glass Grimlock

(Ages 8 and Up | Approx. Retail Price: $54.99 | Available: Summer 2023)

The Transformers Generations Shattered Glass Collection shatters everything fans know about the Transformers robots in an alternate universe where the heroic Decepticons battle the evil Autobots. The Transformers Generations Shattered Glass Grimlock is a leader class action figure that stands at 8.5″ tall and can convert from robot to T.rex mode in 23 steps. The toy’s Shattered Glass universe-inspired design includes the iconic purple Autobot logo that make it great for both an adult collectible or toy for boys and girls. The action figure also includes a dual-barreled blaster that attaches in both modes. The new Transformers Generations Shattered Glass Grimlock will be available for pre-order in April at Hasbro Pulse and other major retailers.”

So when this figure goes up for pre-order in April, will he be added to your collection? Let us know what you think in the comments below!

Oooo, that deco looks really snazzy on him.

That looks sharp. They don't mention a comic, so I guess we're not getting Shattered Glass III.

Makes sense to not have a Comic. IDW isn't writing the series anymore, and the final issue of Shattered Glass II was left simultaneously open ended and final note.

The big news here is it isn't a Pulse exclusive, looks like it'll be sold in the same place as Selects figures.

He looks great, but the bright white stands out too much. It's probably pearlescent white, but they really should have gone with silver.

Well that looks great as expected, eagerly anticipating it going up in April.

In addition to both those points: presumably by virtue of not including the comic, this is the first SG Collection figure with no markup, he's the same price as Skyquake and Snarl according to this description.

Definitely ready to add Trypticon JR to the Shattered Glass collection.

Check that. He is the same price, but they cut an accessory. Admittedly a very lousy accessory, but one nonetheless

Grimlock was always 70s Mecha Godzilla to me and the silver deco worked. Tripticon was more like 80's Mecha Godzilla and the colors on that figure worked well. Crossing the designs/decos just doesn't work for me, something just seems off.

Whoa this is even better than G2 Grimlock IMO....it's a total buy....'nuff said! :VEHI:

I actually like the darker gray better. If that thing was commander-sized and had a Con symbol on it, I might get it and pretend it's G1 comic Trypticon, who was smaller than his cartoon version. :lol:

Now I would love the rest of the Dinos in SG colors, whatever the decos are.

Those colors look really nice. I wish he had a new head or at least a sword, but oh well.

Honestly, the existing Titan class version is pretty close to how big Trypticon was in the Marvel comics, as no City-forming Titan is actually in scale with any of the Deluxe-and-up figures.

If they aren't beholden to a Specific Comic series anymore, I would love to see some other Heavy Hitters in their SG decos.

Like Shockwave, Rodimus, Thundercracker (maybe with Skywarp as a dual pack?), Sideswipe, Prowl, Ironhide, etc.

Yeah, I know. But I have restricted space and I can't accommodate Titan Trypticon.

Is the original G1 figure about Commander-sized?
