Hey Soundwave, you want a compassionate Megatron? Watch Earthspark. Normally, Megs absolutely despises humans. In ES, he is inspired to switch sides after meeting a soldier named Dorothy Malto. They're essentially besties, lol.
Incredibly comprehensive and insightful Shattered Glass breakdown. Impressed by how much detail you covered so concisely. Thanks for creating this great Transformers content - really appreciate it. Keep up the awesome work!
Imagine G1 but the roles are reversed. No litterally like megatron being the one to explain to spike what their faction means and Thundercracker being the earth finatic lol. Imagine Having Rumble (FIRRIB) as the kid apeal
I also recommend to you, and your audience to check out the Original Shattered Glass that was released back when Fun Publications had the rights to host BotCon, aka the storyline that started back in 2008 where Classics (or G1 Marvel Comics US) Cliffjumper was accidentally transported over to an alternate universe where Autobots are evil and Decepticons are good
Its always amazing to see AUs like shattered glass. Supposedly the Shattered glass universe was gonna be in transformers animated but the next season of animated was cancelled
I've seen some comments here asking to cover the Original Run of Shattered Glass by Fun Pub and I think that would be great. Fun Pub really liked multiverse stories so almost none of it is entirely contained in the shattered glass universe. Also there were several tie in toys receiving a scattered and limited release between 2008 and 2016 that have various little nods to the history of the franchise. Like the Optimus toy having "I Shall Stand. The Rest Shall Fall" painted on the side of his truck mode.
@@DerekUpNorth TFWiki is probably your best bet for that. It's one of the most comprehensive fan wiki's on the internet and a lot of the admins for it were the guys that helped Fun Pub with the majority of their stories.
I think one of the things that SG does well is the fact it keeps the characters personalities, while under different circumstances with different issues, they’re all fundamentally still themselves, A lot of ‘switch’ stories just change the characters to fit with their opposites molds, Character X just acts like character Z while vice versa Meanwhile SG, character X still acts like character X just in character Z’s situation
While the role reversal stuff is fun and all, im pretty sure the point of the mirrorverse which is what shattered glass is based on, wasn't just making good characters bad and bad characters good. It was to show how different humanity would be had they chose a different path in startreck and became a facist empire, the aliens like vulcans were still, good people after all. It was just humanity that had gone wrong... And I tend to find those stories more interesting...
Nice to have seen Shattered Glass get some much-deserved attention from Hasbro (even if the new toys & the short IDW run weren't quite what we expected or hoped for); hope to see more people talk about the original Shattered Glass fiction & toys from the FunPub days get more discussion outside of Transformers circles as well (:
You’re not wrong. As mentioned in the description; this video highlights the events that take place prior to Shattered Glass II. Which I’ll break down as well.
Great video. I loved the story but Im not a fan of a lot of the color palettes they used. I also dont like how extremely ruthless they make the bad Autobots. They are far more sadistic then the normal Decepticons.
It's probably because they represent a lot of good things like justice and kindness in their regular versions. Which makes them very bad and cruel when inverting their roles
Obviously your opinion on the color pallets is subjective and I have no issue with you not being a fan. I will say back in 2008 when this concept was created it was done by hardcore fans of transformers and a good number of the color swaps are based on something within the franchise for the most part. Optimus= Galvatron, Grimlock= Tripticon, Ultra Magnus= His original color scheme from the early drafts of the 1986 film.
I feel ya 😅 my wallet isn’t big enough for the amount of comics I want to read. Which is exactly why I decided to do this, I’m glad you enjoyed the vid.
It was shard to follow at first I didn't think they would be still autobots but once I started to understand I couldn't stop. I have been following the comics of transformers for a while but I never heard of this story. Ive always felt the decepatacons were not really evil (after watching the Netflix animation mini series)
There is the fan made shattered glass prime comic series by sound bluster on deviant. Unfortunately it was recently put on indefinite hiatus for various reasons (including toxic fans and harassment unfortunately), but it’s a good read which keeps the vibe of SG and prime. While unfinished, it’s still brilliant.
See if your local comic book shop has one on hand or if they can order one in for you. You could also try Amazon or eBay but you’d be paying resale value, unfortunately.

Hearing compassionate and megatron in the same sentence hurt my brain for a moment. 😆
valid 💯 😂

imagine good Optimus and and compassionate Megatron meeting
if you think about it, thats something he dreams of. he wants his friend back.
True
It’s too bad IDW lost the license before they could compete the story
Or maybe they can still do it if Hasbro lets them even tho they lost the license
“Twisted Mirror” is a great Star Trek episode name

Imagine G1 but the roles are reversed. No litterally like megatron being the one to explain to spike what their faction means and Thundercracker being the earth finatic lol. Imagine Having Rumble (FIRRIB) as the kid apeal
Imagine a fight with the vicious desperate bumblebee (SG Gold Bug) and our heroic bumblebee (G1)

I just have to figure out the reading order for the original Shattered Glass run and I'll happily cover it. I've never had the chance to read it.

This is the best Alternate universe ever.
wait, that's no where near the end of shattered glass, magnus hasn't got disfigured yet
That’s Shattered Glass II 😅
@@DerekUpNorth but the universe idea Is just called Shattered Glass
You’re not wrong. As mentioned in the description; this video highlights the events that take place prior to Shattered Glass II. Which I’ll break down as well.
@@DerekUpNorth OOooooh, that explains. I was about to comment something similar lol
Thundercracker fan here
😁👍
I loved this whole video which happens to be the first one I see of your channel. Def subscribing and looking forward to the next part of this story
Appreciate that. Thank you!
I just love the alternate designs in Shattered Glass.
They are pretty sweet!
Great video. I loved the story but Im not a fan of a lot of the color palettes they used. I also dont like how extremely ruthless they make the bad Autobots. They are far more sadistic then the normal Decepticons.
Optimus and Goldbug are absolute SAVAGES 😅
It's probably because they represent a lot of good things like justice and kindness in their regular versions. Which makes them very bad and cruel when inverting their roles
That's the point

I wonder will we ever see the combaticons in the future issues of shattered glass
wait but this is only part 1! The story isn't over yet!
I am currently reading it 😅 so stick around for Shattered Glass II
@@DerekUpNorth Can't wait for that!
Thanks for the video! Been getting back into transformers since the trailer for tfo dropped and the comics are expensive 😅 this was great watch
I feel ya 😅 my wallet isn’t big enough for the amount of comics I want to read. Which is exactly why I decided to do this, I’m glad you enjoyed the vid.
tho owning these comics would be awesome, u can still read them online for free.
Love the decepticons here, 😈 Autobots 🤢
It was shard to follow at first I didn't think they would be still autobots but once I started to understand I couldn't stop. I have been following the comics of transformers for a while but I never heard of this story. Ive always felt the decepatacons were not really evil (after watching the Netflix animation mini series)
All a matter of perception
I really hope someday someone covers the original Shattered Glass story. Not the IDW one.
It’s on my radar. Sooo it could happen.
I would like to ser interaction between SG Megatron and OG Optimus Prime

I might have to check this out, thanks!
@@DerekUpNorth glad to have recommended it
Wow what a cool new take on the transformers. Will there be more?
Definitely! I’ll be covering a ton of Transformers in the future.
Shatteres Glass was a fanmade comic on Deviantart
Good video
Glad you enjoyed
Transformers Shattered Glass 2
Issue 1 drops this upcoming Monday ✌🏻
Do you happen to know where they sell physical copies?
See if your local comic book shop has one on hand or if they can order one in for you. You could also try Amazon or eBay but you’d be paying resale value, unfortunately.
😊😊
Thats it? That all there is?
No, I’ll be covering Shattered Glass II soon.
@@DerekUpNorth Ok cool.
Not going to lie. I dislike this series. Never appealed to me.
Nothing wrong with that! Got a recommendation for a comic you do like? Maybe I’ll cover it in the future.
I would like to ser interaction between SG Megatron and OG Optimus Prime
