Video Reviews for Transformers Shattered Glass Flamewar and Slicer

SG Slicer encorperating the weapons that homaged his original Botcon character (Energon Downshift) was a great move. Agreed that he was too pricey, but I'm still happy I got him.

I never gave Flamewar her axe, because I find it too ungainly for her. I gave her an old renderform gun and thankfully her hand's not complaining at all.

My Flamewar just arrived yesterday and everything feels great, only a very minor amount of looseness in the right bicep swivel.

Slicer got dropped off right as I'm typing this so I'm pretty eager to open that up!

Love the colors on both of them.

It legitimately weirded me out at first wondering how two deluxes could fit into one box until I saw the big wad of tissue paper underneath!

The included repaint of Fasttrack as Exo Suit is a really nice touch. What isn't a nice touch is the price. There's no deal here and that's disappointing, especially when it's apparent Hasbro is saving quite a bit on the packaging. For as much as I like this set, I can only recommend it for those who are completing the Shattered Glass line or are die-hard Slicer fans.

Thanks for the review, Chuckdawg! As always, it's YouTubers like your good self that are the real heart and soul of the TF fandom. I especially like it when you show us the boxes and mention interesting stories (sometimes) about where you bought the TFs from and any challenges you've had finding them. The hunt is part of the appeal of toy collecting!

You are truly a "coffee bean" TF YouTuber!

And as for Slicer...



I think a certain British chap summed him up rather nicely...

Great pics, cheers!

The lack of cr@pple-damage on Magnus is over of the reasons I like this version, plus the "rare" feeling of the Diaclone characters has it's appeal for me.

Did you order Iron Man too?

It only just occurred to me, but is the reason that Shattered Glass Laserbeak and Ravage use the Siege molds instead of the Earthrise molds because of the whole "Walmart owns the Earthrise Soundwave mold rights" thing and they weren't altered like Shattered Glass Soundwave?

Shattered Glass Soundwave can use the Earthrise mold because he has a different head, but because they weren't retooling any parts for Laserbeak and Ravage, they couldn't use the Earthrise molds?

It's probably more likely that the Siege molds make more sense for the series's Cybertron setting.

But it's been established and seen that they've been to Earth and back in this continuity. A lot of the Autobots, as well as Soundwave and Flamewar, even use Earth modes.

Gearslide wrote:So I got SG Soundwave today, and while I'm very excited to have him, there are implications in the comic that make me hyped up for something else. Especially on the last page.

Haven't read the comic yet but omw!

Opened up Soundwave and crew last night, he is real nice. this is my first experience with the ER mold, and it's pretty nice so far. The headsculpt is also really cool with the bandana

I'll be opening mine, hopefully this eveninng, with a review up in a few days.
