Illustrator and designer Winston Chan updates our September solicitations coverage with more details about his featured Shattered Glass II issue #2 RI cover:
Thanks for all the love and positive response to this cover. I cannot express how much your support spurs me on to keep working at my craft. Here’s a look at it without the logo dressing, as well as the line-art.
Sound off on the 2005 boards!
Finally! An issue dedicated to everyone’s (Blaster’s) favorite Autobot: Blaster! And he’s doing what he does best: being a star…kind of. Slicer recruits Blaster to infiltrate Decepticon Radio, but Blaster will have to stop being the star of his own one-bot show in order to get back in the good graces of the Autobots.

They showed him in blasters "I couldn't be a failure or I wouldn't be here " flash back and even prior to that eject was purple. ALL 4 of his boys got the you know what happens to failures treatment along with blaster
Dinobot Snarl
That cloak I might consider from 3P
Spinodactyl
Based Slicer.
Dinobot Snarl
I think Slicer, is somehow getting the Autobots to kill each other.

Just read the issue. Loving the art. I really liking the characterization of Slicer, he almost seems like a undercover spy for the Decepticons. But I really like his cloaked look.

Note the autobot symbol is on his chest…but….

it looks like at some point we're getting a Mustachioed Hotrod.
2023 guesses…
SG Rodiumus (Hotrod)
SG Shockwave
SG Impactor
SG Metroplex
I've been worried that SG Soundwave's bandanna might not be removable….
but this shot gives me somw hope in that regard:

Eh I think they would give you a sticker option or a flip around insignia like comander jetfire

I feel like they dropped the ball on Slicer’s identity.
My take is that evil Autobot Wheeljack changed his name to Slicer then went on to become the evil Decepticon Slicer in the positive universe.
BB Shockwave
Interesting stuff, so Blaster can influence emotions too?
So Eject died? Guess we will never know what color he was then.
Hot Rod is sure hot-headed. And I guess this means Jetfire joined the Decepticons? I forgot how his involvement with them ended in the last series.
Curious why they made the Slicer toy a Decepticon if he is an Autobot here. Maybe he will dimensionjump to the regular universe?
Y'mean, they would finally make that Metrotitan people wanted, then give him an SG insignia? Hasbro is not that dumb, they know the fans.
The HasbroPulse description says the character to be revealed would be a "pretty rad dude". To me, that is definitely going to be Soundwave. Probably a repaint of the Earthrise toy.
Why not? SG is bound to run for some more issues. And Hasbro can continue the line even after IDW's end.

Dang. That escalated quickly.
Kinda sad it wasn't Soundwave who ended it. Is there a fight where they both deployed their cassettes against each other like in the 86 movie?
RodimusRex
I feel like that would work better as Nemesis Victory Saber. Not every repaint has to be SG.
Purple Heart
id buy it
T-Hybrid
Whatever its name I want one.

Plot twist: The final shattered glass figure is a black repaint of Haslab Star Saber and Victory Leo in dark colors similar to the e-hobby robots masters Victory Saber. It will also be pre-payed and shipped for free to Taiwan.
Smitty.1981
It's Walky.
T-Hybrid
If this ends without an SG Titan I'll be shocked. Because I think that's what this is building towards.
Tetratron
It's possible. They may have held off on Rodimus so they have could have an A-lister to put in a wave 3.
T-Hybrid
I get the feeling this line lasts beyond the comic. Especially since they're sneaking Slicer and Flamewar in.
Tetratron
I would be surprised if he's not in a hypothetical wave 3.
License expires at the end of the year and the last issues of these come out in December.
