Fans got their hands on Shattered Glass Soundwave recently and we have two video reviews to share with you from our very own community.

Don't sell SG Soundwave short though, with a new head and a minimalist but sharp paint scheme there's a lot this figure has to offer those of us who already have the elusive Walmart exclusive Soundwave. While the price is a little high, it's still cheaper than what the other Soundwave goes for on eBay.

When the original Shattered Glass continuity started up by Fun Publications, it began properly with the BotCon 2008 comic story, in which the G1 Cliffjumper of the Classics universe accidentally arrived in the world of Shattered Glass. He first met the SG Autobots and was both confused and outraged by their sheer cruelty. Then he met the SG Decepticons, whom he couldn't believe were as good-natured as they appeared to be. Only after conversing with SG Sideswipe, who had defected to the SG Decepticons, and after witnessing SG Megatron take a bullet for him, was Cliffjumper finally convinced that this truly was a backwards world of heroic Decepticons and evil Autobots.Nemesis Destron wrote:Interesting, anyone else care to comment?
Following that story, Cliffjumper continued to work with the SG Decepticons throughout the proceeding prose stories that eventually led them all to have some adventures on SG Earth, where everything was just as backwards as on SG Cybertron.
Fast forward a few years to the BotCon 2012 comic story "Invasion", wherein SG Ultra Magnus led an invasion on Cliffjumper's home dimension, the Classicsverse. G1 Autobots and SG Decepticons united to oppose the SG Autobots, who were initially backed up by the G1 Decepticons until they too were convinced of the threat SG Ultra Magnus posed and had to turn on him and side with the good guys to stop him. They failed.
SG Ultra Magnus used the power of an ancient relic known as the Terminus Blade to destroy the entire Classicsverse, leaving only Classics Earth intact and shifted into the SG universe. The only survivors of this cataclysmic disaster were those who were still on Classics Earth at the time. Everyone on Classics Cybertron or anywhere else in that universe met a tragic and untimely end. Once in the SG universe, the G1 Autobots worked with the SG Decepticons in order to adjust this new world that was now their new home.
A small number of SG Autobots were also eventually reformatted by SG Unicron into the heroic Knights of Unicron, who also worked with the G1 Autobots and SG Decepticons. The remaining G1 Decepticons and SG Autobots, however, continued to work independently to scheme and plot their own nefarious plans, ones that the united G1 Autobots/SG Decepticons/SG Knights of Unicron would forever continue to work together to stop.
Basically,





There's also some bits of SG Alpha Trion having his own band of loyalists comprising of other SG Autobots and some Beast Wars: Uprising Maximals and Predacons that he recruited in the TransTech universe when he was banished there, as well as some GoBot Guardians and Renegades who crossed over into the Classicsverse, wound up in the SG world during the crisis of "Invasion", and then teamed up with the G1 Autobots and SG Decepticons, but a lot of that is too confusing to go into any further.

Well, in my fanfiction/headcanon, Sunbow G1 season 4(no Rebirth) continuation stories, Galvatron goes into the ice(like in TF: Headmasters). Later Starscream, who has a change of heart seeing the Decepticons in shambles, again, among other things, pulls him out of the ice with the help of Tarn and Flamewar(SG figure as G1 character use #1). Shockwave and Knock-Out then rebuild Galvatron into Selects Ultra Megatron. Then later, Selects Galvatron 2 and TFCC Universe Ramjet are from a dimension where they and Unicron won(like in Marvel Uk), then Jhiaxus, working in secret with Unicron's head, now out of Cybertrons sight/orbit, pulls them to G1 Sunbow dimension. At that point they start to kick everyone's afts, defeat and nearly kill Blaster( w/Eject inside) and Ultra Magnus. They take them back to Unicron and he reformats them to the SG versions in service to Unicron. Knowing that they are a couple of heart and soul of the team kinda types, fighting them will demoralize the Autobots.
EDIT: Also I forgot; SG Blurr is my regular Blurr after being captured and interrogated by Scorponok and the Hive Council. Yeah theys pulled one of his eyes out, killed Haywire and Blurr is a bit slower now. I discount Rebirth and have my own Nebulans(Mandalorian Lego mini-figures. Zarak is all white coloured Lego Marvel Vision[in a Nebulan steel mechanical body])also about Headmasters; Autobots use Japan G1 transtector(made from dead Fortress Maximus) rules and Decepticons Rebirth, ie. Decepticons are all animal bots with titanmaster heads.

Yeah. There's a cloud over things for sure. SG is kind of topsy turvy that way. As long as Flamewar and Slicer last until after Christmas, I'll be fine on a personal level. But, we'll see at some point.

I'd rank Slicer as my favorite, that mold owns those colors, and the exo-suit was a great addition. He is a lot of fun, lots of options, and lots of fun.
Magnus is a closer 2nd. I am surprised at how much i like this mold as him, considering I didn't think it would work. It's ironic too, since i am not a fan of the Laser Prime mold I wanted him to use anyways. I love the sword, that added that extra bit with the color scheme to really push him up.
I'd rank soundwave 3rd, the colors on him are really sharp, and the headband headsculpt is really cool. It's a nice package, even if the price is stupid for him.
Flamewar comes in 4th, she is a good mold, and the paint work is awesome, but that just doesn't push her past the other 3 cause they were so much fun.
Blaster is last, mostly because he just doesn't have much going for him compared to the others. He's good, but the others just outshine him

I'd probably switch Magnus and Slicer, but I'm right there with you on the rest.

Also, I find it really funny that I never got the original Blaster or soundwave releases, but I got the repaints, and greatly enjoyed all 3 of them

My only complaint on that Megs is that the "shield/nosecone" accessory should have been a bit thicker with 5mm holes added. This way, we could have plugged in the wings on it to create some flying drone to accompany the tank mode instead of being just loose parts.

It's all a matter of opinions, but IMO, a straight repaint can't ever be a "best". To earn that title, some remolding and/or extra parts are a necessity. Like for Megatron, Blurr, Ultra Magnus, Starscream, and that's it I think.

Well, Jetfire is a straight repaint, as well as Goldbug... Unless that new head appeared for the first time there. Also, Soundwave and Blaster are straight repaints.

Other than heads, they're all straight repaints. Soundwave has a new head. When talking about an all repaint line (with maybe a new head...like Goldbug and Blurr) in SG 1 I think we're all talking about overall aesthetic. In my case with Jetfire, of SG 1 I subjectively like him a tad better than Megatron. Starscream is also pretty awesome although I still fear he'll yellow.
We're all acknowledging they're repaints and saying the best of those. I'm (we're) not comparing them to non-SG counterparts. Unless we are. LOL

To clarify some things for the newcomers: the "traditional" yellowing occurs on the hard ABS plastic, supposedly mainly after long term exposure to UV light, typically years. The yellowing we're seeing now isn't that, rather it occurs on the softer POM and PA parts found in joints and other moving parts.
I wouldn't think temperature plays that much of a role here, unless we're seeing a significant large amount of cases in the warmer climates like the Mediterranean and the South of the US, but rather I dare say it's similar to Gold Plastic Syndrome in that a change in the composition (like adding metal flake in the case of GPS) has unexpected negative outcomes.

In that recent Q&A Hasbro claimed they haven't made any changes to their plastic. I think it has more to do with the current factory, feels like we started noticing quicker yellowing since the last time they changed locations.

Whether they admit, or even know, something has changed. I'm not sure if its a new factory and their mix or conditions or what. This yellowing has happened on way too many figures recently to be coincidence. Cyclonus, Soundwave, SG Starscream and Motormaster all have had significant yellowing right out of the box in many cases. It is bad enough that

However, if any of you who own Flamewar are wanting to recoup a bit of the cost and part with Fireglide, please PM me. Thank you.
Posted by D-Maximal_Primal on November 28th, 2022 @ 7:23pm CST
1) Slicer - For one thing, his colors totally own his base mold. For another, Exo-suit was a fantastic addition, and there is a ton of good play features with that. He is just very fun and a great package. It also helps that ultimately he was the best character in the SG comics, a great character. I got a 2nd one of him today for the standard con shelf, he's worth getting 2 of.
2) Ultra Magnus - This one surprised me, he is exceptional in the color scheme he uses, and the skeleton head is fantastic. He just rules, and the sword weapon adds a lot for him. His character in the comics was also real good, if in need of more actual fiction dedicated to him. Really good figure, there is a reason I am glad I got 2.
3) Jetfire - This one rules because of the color scheme. That black, purple, and green just shines on him so much. He makes standard Jetfire look so bland. Add how big he is with the colors and color distribution, and you have a real winner there. And he was also great in the comic, maybe the 2nd best after Slicer.
4) Megatron - the new parts added to this figure adds a new silhouette and makes him a lot of fun with all the play features. The colors are also really nice, and rounds out a nice package.
5) Starscream - Again, a great mold, and the colors shine so brightly on this mold. The new sword weapons are also great additions, make him feel like a totally new dude. Well done there.
6) Soundwave - This is another great package, if overpriced. The colors are sharp, the minions are cool, and that headband is a great look for him. They managed to make that work out real well with him. Well done.
7) Flamewar - They did good on her with the paint work, and the addition of Fireglide was nice too. She is a good package. I think she ranks behind the others just because of how much more their colors shine and the new tooling most of them used as well.
8,) Blaster - One where he is a solid mold, as is Rewind, but he's just boring. He doesn't bring a lot to the table. So he's good, but not necessarily cool.
9) Blurr - as much as I love the head sculpt on this guy, his QC really lets him down. The leg joints, the arm sleeves, they just make him not a very fun figure to handle in comparison to the rest. The headsculpt is killer though.
10) Goldbug - This one ranks the lowest simply because he was the most boring release. He really should have used a different mold, like the Runamuck mold if we wanted size, or SS86 Hot Rod to homage his original form more. There was more he should have been compared to what he was.

As for using SS86 Hot Rod, his transformation is so screen- and character-specific, it wouldn't have been worth it to alter the mold and the engineering to make him different enough. Unless you would have been fine with Goldbug having the same transformation.

At this point we're up to 8 total uses of the mold:Rodimus Prime wrote:while the SG GB mold was used 5 times, I think? 2 versions of Cliffy and 3 versions of Bee/Bug.
-ER Cliff
-Selects Hubcap
-Selects Bugbite
-Netflix Bee
-SG Goldbug
-Buzzworthy Worlds Collide Bee
-Buzzworthy SS86 Cliff
-Buzzworthy Creatures Collide Goldbug
Maybe they also didn't use Hot Rod for Goldbug to keep the mold open to use for an SG Rodimus? He should use the Hot Rod mold rather than the Rodimus mold if he does get made, since SG Rod needs the saw and typically hasn't had the Rodimus trailer.Rodimus Prime wrote:As for using SS86 Hot Rod, his transformation is so screen- and character-specific, it wouldn't have been worth it to alter the mold and the engineering to make him different enough.

SG Rodimus is a good point. If I had my choice, I would want LL Rodimus, though. I love that black/teal combo. Also, we're getting that mold in toy colors as well, so maybe Hasbro didn't think most people would buy that mold a 3rd time, especially at voyager price.Maybe they also didn't use Hot Rod for Goldbug to keep the mold open to use for an SG Rodimus?

Considering how many uses of that mold there have been between original mold and retools, I think they got their money's worth.
And Goldbug was originally based on Cybertron Hot Shot, who was based on G1 Hot Rod, and the SS86 toy pretty much uses the same Cybertron transformation scheme down to the fake chest, so i really don't see why they could not have used that mold. I'd prefer the Kingdom leader for SG Rodimus anyways

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.

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

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!

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

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.
