Greetings Seibertronians! Fellow Seibertron user, Dominus Prime, has let us know that YouTube toy reviewer, Kremzeek Reviews, has done a review for the forthcoming Transformers Generations Selects Shattered Glass Set! The set includes Shattered Glass versions of Ratchet (redeco'ed from Earthrise Deluxe Class Ratchet, which is being released under the Galactic Odyssey Collection) and Optimus Prime (redeco'ed from Earthrise Leader Class Optimus Prime, just without the trailer).

The Shattered Glass universe was created by Fun Pub for their BotCon 2008 set (and featured regularly thereafter). The concept, was inspired and homaging the Mirror Universe from the Star Trek franchise, whose episodes featuring the concept were titled similarly (e.g. "Mirror, Mirror", "Through the looking glass" and "Shattered Mirror").

We have embedded the review below for your convenience:

What do you think of this review? Are you excited to add these to your shelf? Let us know in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews!

Now that they're next to each other, I notice more of the differences than I did before. I might have to pick up the new one if it's as structurally sound or better than the PoTP version. The colors look good on both, but I like the toon/comic-accurate chest and head even better.

Yeah, and the Twitter comments mention that Takara also kept some of the toy sticker-based paint apps of the Hasbro version so as to keep the Takara version from looking too plain.

I can all but guarantee that this will not be structurally better than the Hasbro release. They would have to remove the ball joints in the limb bots and replace them with ratchets, to start.

For one, Sinnertwin and Cutthroat are mistransformed in leg mode: Sinnertwin's shoulders are supposed to be swung back like in monster mode, then have the feet peg into the back where the robot mode legs are (same for Snarl btw), while Cutthroat's arms are supposed to be straight down along the body like in monster mode. Not that would make the latter any sturdier...

They did the same for the Dinobots, so not surprising. I know some fans complain about the stickers on the PotP versions, however I don't understand the reason to remove the ones that aren't obscuring any new molded details.

Yeah, I know all about that, and I'm all for it. I just don't see how the stickers take away from that.

It's detail that wasn't in the cartoon models, so from Takara's view, it doesn't belong.

The manga considers Megatron Omega to be a separate mode since its power is increased from Ultra Megatron.

I like both PotP Volcanicus and Abominus better than their Selects counterparts. That's good, because it means I won't want to buy them again. They're perfectly acceptable options for those who didn't get them the last time around, though.

For whatever reason, screen accuracy is less important to me for the characters from 1986 on.

Same, I'm perfectly happy with the potp versions.

For those who might have preordered WFC-GS22 Black Roritchi, have you received anything in regards to a delay? I ended up preordering mine from Entertainment Earth, and just saw the expected ship date change from December 2020, to March 2021. Things happen, I am not upset about it but just wondered if Hasbro Pulse or any other sites has shown a shift in a expected ship date.

Edit:

Strangely enough just received noticed yesterday that this order was processed and shipped. Not complaining and things do change, so I am definitely not complaining.

Re: New Video Review of Transformers Generations Selects Shattered Glass Set (2085326)
Posted by o.supreme on October 27th, 2020 @ 12:27pm CDT

I cancelled my order on Pulse and switched to BBTS to save on shipping (to get Hot House and Roritchi together). I have not received a delay notice as of yet, still shows December.

Except for the extra weapons, like the guns on Grimlock. This is where I fall from grace and go to 3P

Who knows, I didnt receive an official notice of the change per say, only noticed the difference when I compared the emails from Entertainment Earth in regards to all my order updates.

No delay yet, but it would be welcome with how busy December is going to be right now.

No doubt, December is going to be crazy for any on line orders.

Not sure if this should be in this thread or not, but I just saw Walmart.com has Gigawatt on preorder for $29.99.
I'm passing but it seemed like a good number of people had interest in this figure.

Also just saw he's on preorder at Target.com.

Sorry if this is old news!

Re: New Video Review of Transformers Generations Selects Shattered Glass Set (2085407)
Posted by Jelze Bunnycat on October 27th, 2020 @ 9:10pm CDT

Crossovers such as Gigawatt fall under the Transformers: Collaborative line. Unfortunately, there's no thread dedicated to it, just individual ones for the figures.

Transformers X Back to the Future

Still good to hear tho

Finally Mastermind Creations has their version of Star Convoy up for pre-order on BBTS. I was a bit let down on the over all engineering involved on the Selects release so I hope MMC got things right. Way to go :HASBRO:

But wait, there's more!!!
All the Seacon limbs use the Deluxe size box, but Trutler's box is a unique size. it is larger in length and width than Leader Shackwave, but smaller in thickness.

I'm not sure on Star Convoy, who I don't have. Turtlers box would be too skinny, so he either uses the leader size box or a unique size.

Initially I admit I was hoping for a UW styled box, but that was a while ago. I just basically wanted it confirmed to be one gift set, as opposed to selling these five together (but released in 5 individual boxes), which could have just as easily happened. At least now we have a template if someone wants to make a custom UW style packaging for this

As a whole, I like the PotP ones better. They have a better color breakup, while the Selects have areas of one color that are a tad too big for my tastes. Some colors seem a tad random and even clash.

I got charged as well and if they do like they did with my Pit of Judgement last week then we should get the shipping notice today or tomorrow.

Photoshop? So there's a picture? In reply to your comment in the Netflix topic, it would be Machine Wars Sandstorm, not the G1 version of the character.

But like others said over there, we're already getting G2 Sandstorm, I don't see it being Selects. Could still be an exclusive elsewhere, we've been speculating on a MW Soundwave since ER Doubledealer was announced and the two are fan canonized rivals.

I think a repaint of the Siege Spinister mold as Machine Wars Sandstorm is a little lazy. It wouldn't even have the cockpit (not cockpits) on the chest. Oh wait, that's right! They already did that with Spinister to make Rotorstorm, so yes, I wouldn't be overly surprised to get a little Machine Wars love.

Speaking of which, I think a redeco and retool of Earthrise Doubledealer as Machine Wars Soundwave is the best option to reuse that mold. We have the ICBM mode and the robot mode, but the seemingly extra bird beast mode could be Soundwave's "Laserbeak" mode.
