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.
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!
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.”

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.

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

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.

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.chuckdawg1999 wrote:Grimlock was always 70s Mecha Godzilla to me and the silver deco worked.

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.Rodimus Prime wrote:I actually like the darker gray better.

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.

According to the toy galleries on this very site, the OG figure definitely seems to be a size that you might have an easier time storing/displaying!

Two things the powers should have done IMO to make Grimlock even greater was given him from chompers to the front of his jaw and the other the color of his arms in dino mode. I think any other color that was used would have provided a nice break up.

OG takes up a decent amount of space. Honestly, if you bought the Titan Trypticon and leaned him forward a bit, his foot space would be about the same as the G1 Trypticon and you could put bots underneath him.
Grimlock still looks very neat. The colors are very nice

SG Magnus came with more stuff than a regular Magnus (Legacy Optimus Prime's accessories, a second head and a comic) where Grimlock actually comes with less than SS Grimlock (no Wheelie).

I want this SG Grimlock but I don't really want it if we're not going to get the entire Dinobot team. I don't want to start this set if I can't finish it. I was afraid to start the regular leader Dinobots for fear Hasbro wouldn't complete the set. Luckily we're getting all 5, slow as hell but at least we're getting them. Now that they have all the molds they can easily make the entire SG team. But will they???
Also, I wish they dropped the comic books BEFORE they released SG Soundwave with that ridiculous price. I have no interest in the comic books so I really don't want to pay the inflated price. I think it's really stupid & irritating how SG Soundwave, a voyager, is the same price as SG Magnus a leader class. Hasbro are the RIP-OFF KINGS!

I have this idea as well. The regular Dinobots are hard as it is to complete, no way I could ever double-dip with exclusives that I'll have to import.

I'd say it's more than a bit too high. That Soundwave set is a redeco of the Netflix set which was 40 bucks in store. No reason to add 20-22 bucks to the price just because of a comic. A comic is only going to be like 3 bucks max, maybe a little more these days.
Flamewar would be another example. The Arcee mold with a battle master at 42 bucks? Yikes!
If Pulse has another sale like they did last year where the savings are legit, then I'll pick up more of this line. I certainly want to because the decos are pretty nice. So far I only have Starscream, Goldbug, and Blurr from this line but I questioned myself afterwards for dropping 100 bucks on them.

I doubt they'll do the other Dinobots, but if they do keep in mind that from here on out these are not Pulse exclusives, they'll be sold wherever Selects are sold.
The comics averaged an $8 markup which is about what comic collectors usually pay for exclusive covers, there's nothing unusual about that price, people just aren't used to it. They probably should have made it optional, though, since some of us got duplicates when we bought two or three of the same figure.

Regardless, forcing people to buy an overpriced comic that they'll never read suck. And if you want the whole story, you must buy the entire line.
That's a great nope for me.
That why I was pretty happy to find SG Screamers and Megs at my local GameStop for normal retail. I also avoid buying anything from Pulse appart the HASLAB because of their stupid 30$US shipping policies, PLUS charging full taxes.
I bought my SG Magnus from AliExpress. 115$CAN, but no comic, no taxes, no customs. I saved 15$CAN compared to Pulse. I may get Soundwave this way too.

Oh, I would if I were an American that can benefit from the free shipping from Pulse. But as a Canadian, my Pulse purchases has to be very choosy. Plus only the toys from Pulse come with the comic. Any other editions from other countries don't have the comic.
So far, I have SG Megs, Screamers, and Magnus. All 3 came without comics.
The only ones I got from Pulse was because of a huge sale so even with that 30$US shipping, the toys came at the normal Canadian retain overall. Those are Goldbug and Blurr. Their comics remains untouched.

Ohhh...you don't get every figure. I see.

The comics were also available separately at mass comic retail. Anyone who wanted to read them all without buying the toys could.-Kanrabat- wrote:sol magnus wrote:Why not just read the comic? LOL

Yeah, thanks. I have dual copies of the comics, exclusive and retail.
That's not even the point we were discussing - he was saying he wasn't going to read the ones he got, but that makes sense if he isn't getting all the comics because he's in Canada and not getting the figures from Pulse, which he made clear. The availability of the comics is irrelevant if he's not otherwise reading comic books.

Stiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiill, if there is a big graphic novel available that contain the whole story from start to finish available at my local comic book store (or online at normal retail with free shipping) I'd buy it.
Over 20 years ago I used to buy American comic books. But they phased out for manga and now, I just read them on pirate sites. No way am I going to buy comics chapters by chapters like I used to be. Especially not at 10$ a comic. But a complete physical graphic novel (for the right price) feel nice in hand from times to times.
Is this it?

Understandable.
Especially when navigating such sites are figurative minefields for those without the appropriate anti-virus and adblocks.

I have been using that site for over 8 or 9 yrs with no problems. So shouldnt be anything to worry about. I use Avira and Spybot though. Also sorry didnt think bouts linking that site being a problem. Mostly I use it for reading comics from years ago.

SG Grimlock went up for pre-order on Pulse as a TF Tuesdays drop, releases in August, and according to both the email about it and the Pulse homepage this is "the first Shattered Glass figure of the year", so soft confirmation that there's more coming despite us not having any SG leaks past Grim here.
