Thanks to pictures posted by @Waspshot23 on Twitter, we have new in-hand pictures of the recently revealed Shattered Glass Collection Rodimus and Sideswipe!

Rodimus is a slight retool of the SS86 figure, now featuring his classic goatee look. Sideswipe is a retool of the Kingdom Sideswipe figure, designed to look closer to the original Armada Wheeljack design, including new head and scarred hood. Sideswipe also comes with our very first new Minicon, Whisper, hopefully a sign that more minicons are on the horizon.

Check out the images below, and let us know what you think in the comments below!

I really like Sideswipe and Whisper's colors, and Hot Rod is my favorite character, but I just can't pull the trigger on this set. I don't like Shattered Glass, and I've only gotten Starscream and Jetfire, so this would be a weird pickup that doesn't fit with anything else in my collection.

Who is the car on the far left with a bird symbol on the hood?

I really like how Sideswipe's hood is a different shape and makes the SG version look even more unique than a straight up repaint. Whisper's deco looks neat as well, but not a fan of the bot mode.

Really not sure how I feel about the new head sculpt. Looks like they were going for Armada cartoon style instead of toy which I would have preferred. But either way those horns are pitiful looking.

Really excited for this set of the two SG characters I wanted the most. Gonna be nice to have the Lambo turncoat and the true lord of Autobot authority for my collection.

Pretty excited for this set, I love how Whisper looks and I hope we keep getting more Minicons.

I can do without the Minicon. It should be pretty easy to find someone on eBay selling just that! :-D

I for one am digging this :SG-BOTS:

SS figure! :VEHI:

Any chance of Grimlock being restocked on pulse? I was hesitantly eyeing it for awhile and right when I was gonna cave in and order I saw "out of stock" boo

I'm in a similar boat with both Grimlock and Magnus. Regarding Grimlock, I'd say there's a chance because he doesn't have a comic book, and they already restocked hin once, but I wouldn't exactly bet on it

Ah damn I didn't know he'd already been restocked
Maybe he'll turn up on another site on some point, I'll just wait it out

I was torn between him and the Walmart g2 Grimlock and told myself if I found the g2 one at my local Walmart I'd get him. Sure enough I did but it only made me realize I still wanted the SG version lol

It was a real quick restock where he got went out if stock, then like a week later they had more and it stuck around for a little before selling out again. I'm hoping if/when they do their next restock I'll be able to grab him so I can slap some Decepticon badges on him and use him as a reimagining of Trypticon for the core class guys :lol:

I also would want to use him as a non-titan version of trypticon. Like a predacon trypticon or something lol

That and I skimmed through stuff about the character and liked the idea of a cold, calculated bot that involuntarily transforms when angry like a jekyll/Hyde type thing. And playing with the "it is I, Grimlock" thing

Canadians have a chance at some SG toys. They are expensive, but ironically cheaper than importing from Pulse.

I would not count on a restock for either figure. Magnus came out last year, and was even eligible for the Pulse sale earlier this year. You will need to get him through a 3rd party seller. Same with Grimlock I would reckon, once they are one from pulse after coming in stock, they are gone.

I finally have SG Soundwave.
It's unfair that Canadians have to pay around 100$can+ to get it AS ITS NORMAL PRICE but oh well.

TlDr review, he's pretty nice, but the "Siege scars" this guy have make me wish for a true update of G1 Soundwave in the SS86 line. Leader class with Buzzsaw would be perfect.

Not pictured, my orange bat from the Siege Select Spy Patrol set will finally have its purpose as "SG Ratbat."

I can't wait to add another Rodimus and sideswipe to this shelf. And I am debating trying to get Nova Prime in here as well

I hope Hasbro does Stepper at some point next year, I like his Halloween colors.
