I can fix that if you have the handle

That’s not the extra sword I meant. Meant add on.

Should have room now.

Your PMs are full, which ones?

I’m about to order the add ons for mine. There will be a few left overs. Any one interested cannons and a sword?

A little late to the party but I finally got my copy. Color deco looks awesome! Robot mode is fantastic! Alt-mode is a huge letdown even seeing what I was getting before hand. Using the original mould instead of the G2/Netflix updated mould was a weird choice. And unfortunately tolerances on my copy are aweful in a few places. Over all I'm happy I got him, but I do believe he could have been so much better.

Now this is how Shattered Glass Megatron should look when he's ready to fight a mofo.

The Galvatron mold has about the same amount in common as the Megatron mold does, honestly.
The Super Megatron retool from the Titans Return mold would have been the most ideal but I think Hasbro is trying to move past those molds for the foreseeable future with regards to new exclusives.

Clears it up for me, thanks.
Which really even strengthens my point. Hasbro literally has no reason to stick with the precedent that Funpub established for Shattered Glass. If Hasbro says that SG Megatron is canonically based off a tank Megatron rather than Galvatron, it's absolutely their right.
Plus Siege Megs is a fantastic mold and I love this figure.

Anything done for the franchise under a license, like Funpub stuff, is ultimately the property of the licensor (Hasbro) and not the licensee (Funpub). It's like how Hasbro always retained ownership of the Marvel comics.
PlanckEpoch
Honestly I wouldn't know. I didn't give a shit about Shattered Glass or Funpub or Botcon fiction and I still don't. My assumption was that it was a Funpub thing and not a Hasbro thing, and that since the end of Funpub, Botcon and stuff that now Hasbro owns it.

The thing is, if I remembered it correctly, the original SG meg is just a retool of the energon megatron/galvatron mold. Which is 1) clearly inspired by G1 galvatron and 2) even called galvatron with the TT mall release. So apart from being cheap. I really don't see why they shouldn't be using galvatron mold, or better, the super megatron mold with a retooled head sculpt.

Now? Hasbro always owned Shattered Glass. Every single piece of media that Funpub produced under license from Hasbro was and is Hasbro property.
PlanckEpoch
I think it's just as simple as that they could do SG Megatron with minimal new tooling. Also since Hasbro owns SG now they don't have to use anything Funpub established if they don't want to.

Found him for a good price along with Shattered Glass Goldbug and Shattered Glass Starscream. Good to go
Gamerlingual
Is he available for under $60?

Tbh, just add the turret blade to the fusion cannon as is transformed in the siege tank mold, and the hole between thighs is covered. It not only provides a way to store that awkward af weapon in the alt mold, but also gives you a big and long cannon.

officially, the USA release is Pulse exclusive, any of them showing up at stores like Target in small quantities are shipping errors and them showing up at other etailers are imports.
