So I just found out today that this toy has an optional red Decepticon mask!
I totally turned it down because if it was a Shattered Glass character it should have a red Decepticon mask not a red Autobot mask!
Why didn't they promote it with the proper mask?

If it helps at all I just got mine and absolutely love him I can't stop picking him up and fiddling with him

Put me in the fan category. I said this before, but this is exactly what an exclusive should be, IMO. The colors really pop, and it's not intended to be a standard character representation, which makes the LE nature of it really cool. Congrats on a job really well done.

Boss and I wanted to do something weird and unique with Kulturs recolor and he had the idea of starting off with a loose reference to tarns origins and sort of building our own colorful orange primary deco around that idea since we couldn't directly translate glitches palette 1-1 to the mold itself (not without it being rather bland and lame anyway). So he's "kinda" glitch but kinda not? he's a sort of mixed bag of ideas really. Not suppose to be thought of as a standard character design at all and I personally really wanted him to be as different to regular kultur as possible knowing full well the garish result would have its fans and its haters as garish palettes always do.
Pitt
Petty much. His body was different too.
Markatron
Oh i see, so its a homage to something from the comics, thouoh h e never had the face mask yet
Pitt
Just a fun repaint with a glitch head. Not from the comics in this form, but uses Glitch's coloring from when he was an autobot.
Markatron
Soo what is the meaning of this character? Is this Tarn? Or is this another character entirely? Is he in the comics? I am so confused

I think he should have dual Ion blasters.

I'm afraid if you want the new mask in purple you'll have to buy a tyran or get that mask from someone who doesn't want it for now. The mask itself is designed for the new kultur cyclops head after all and even though it can still attach to the original head it doesn't sit as well or as firmly on it.
Other stuff for both versions of kultur has been discussed many times but if and when and how it will be available is up to the boss. I presume any such content will come with nickel or pet though now rather than just being a small box of stuff like the carnifex upgrade was.

Thanks. I think I prefer the new sculpt. Any plans to make that mask available in purple with any other release or any other Kultur fixes? The cannon piece is my biggest gripe.
