This looks more like the Classics characters in the Shattered Glass universe, making this have nothing to do with the Beast Wars cartoon world and instead be a new, alternate Beast wars setting.xyl360 wrote:Hmm, perhaps this comic's intent is to explain exactly how the Autobots and Decepticons (and later the Maximals and Predacons) first developed the capability to replicate organic life forms with their scanners, something that was never really explained in the Beast Wars series. It makes sense that it would involve 'Pretender' technology, though I've no idea how 'Powermaster' tech would fit into it (but why not right ?).

Still, hopefully we'll see some Beast Wars repaints out of this. If we get those, I don't care what the fiction is. So far the only ones that Funpub has done that I'm aware of are Ultra Mammoth (Big Convoy) and Virulent Clone/Buzzsaw/Dirge (all from the Beast Wars Buzzclaw mold). All the rest I believe were 3H and Botcon Japan in the late 90's.

I like that idea! My reaction to the Powermaster tech being involved was similar, haha. Perhaps it's involved in making the new bodies tougher? (see: Waspinator)

Lets clear up some things about the 2013 story BEAST WARS Shattered Glass... The SG Universe is now home to Classics Earth.
Along with Classics earth, a few dozen Heroic Autobots and Evil Decepticons now reside in the Shattered Glass Universe.
BEAST WARS Shattered Glass takes place in the distant past on Shattered Glass Earth and features the Heroic Maximals led by Ultra Mammoth
Fighting against the Evil Predacons. WHO these Preds are will be revealed in Issue 49. The story focuses on the Classics characters.
However, with this story taking place ON Shattered Glass Earth, there may be some cool twists...

These are Classicverse Autobots becoming Maximals taking part in their own Beast Wars in the ancient past of the Shatteredverse's Earth.

There is an answer, but it's very spoilerific for those who haven't been keeping up with the Fun Pub fiction.Mindmaster wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Guys, this is "Shattered Glass the World", not "Shattered Glass the Concept".
These are Classicverse Autobots becoming Maximals taking part in their own Beast Wars in the ancient past of the Shatteredverse's Earth.
But the question is... how did they get to Shattered Glass Earth's distant past?

This is the most straightforward rundown of events leading up to this that I've seen. But, again, spoilers.

But I'm having a REALLY tough time accepting this line of rationalization. There's just too much going on in FunPub's universe as a whole right now that just seems forced to justify a few toys.

I can see them repainting Universe Dinobot into Grimlock. But for the rest of them, I couldn't tell you.

Hmm, Shattered Shattered Glass, where Autobots are good and Decepticons are evil...
