Given that the only thing stopping me from getting the 86 release was the disconcerting facesculpt, a version with a better head was an instant preorder. Shattered glass is just the icing on the cake.

Any idea when this will be available to order for Non-Premium Pulse members? Currently only premium members can pre-order.

I preordered this guy, which surprised me because this was the rumored Shattered Glass figure I was least excited for (barring Jetfire, who's an automatic no due to being Commander Class and not liking/wanting the mold). The combo of black and darker blue make this mold look way better to me than the retail version I skipped, I love that they kept his lightning deco, and the eyepatch and borderline Joker smile really sell the head sculpt for me. I'm more excited to see Goldbug, Megatron, and Screamer now than I was before.
Shame that it seems like those 4 I mentioned above are the only other ones they're making, based off the links/silhouettes on Blurr's page, any chance they mentioned in the stream that they would possibly make more characters than just those? I'd love the chance to get a Sir Soundwave, Grimlock, Wheeljack, and Sideswipe, and I thought there was a rumor floating around about Hot Rod getting some variety of black repaint that people were assuming was an SG repaint.

Looks good. It's odd, for me, that the line (IMO) that would benefit the most from cr@pple-damage paint apps would be SG, over the regular line (using Optimus Prime's broken chest as the inspiration). The damage could help sell the idea of a "shattered" or "damaged" universe, at least to me.

SG Blurr was one of the weakest molds of the original boxset, so I'm glad it's getting an updated character first. So excited!

Well ... I guess Starscream and Ramjet are no brainers. Jeez, Rammy's getting so many repaints and I haven't even got the originals from Amazon yet!
I wonder how they'll do Megatron. The original has much more in common with Galvatron. But where does that leave Galvy? Will the just paint Siege Megatron purple and give him a new head?

The impression I'm getting is that this is a "new" shattered glass continuity, where altmodes largely match up with their originals.

i have never really cared about SG
but i bought the selects SG prime and ratchet and thought they were cool for a one off set
but now that i hear there's an SG line coming as long as it a small group of characters hopefully no bigger than a dozen
i might just try to acquire them
i think it would make for a cool display with the regular vs SG standing opposite of each other

I give zero foxes about SS86 Blurr. But this SG version is ridiculously NICE!
Too bad ordering it will cost me one gonzillion dollars from Pulse.
Let's hope these get a wider release down the line.

Aha, so the Energon Megatron parts exist after all! Either the leakers got the base figure wrong, or these were switched out from the Kingdom Galvatron mold. I wonder if there might be any leftover compatibility.

I love that SG Megs is basically just a fan mode with extra parts. Plus, it technically makes him a triple changer. Kinda wonder why they didn't advertise the tank mode as a reference to SG Megatron's tank fusion cannon though

I really like the inclusion of the wings to make Siege Megatron somewhat resemble the original Shattered Glass Megs . Robot mode looks really nice, and although the spaceship mode does leave a bit to be desired (The main thing that bugs me about it is the gap between the legs) it looks fine overall and hey the tank mode is still there (honestly kind of surprised they aren't marketing him as a triple changer), although the shield won't really have anywhere to go.
So yeah I'll definitely be trying to get this bad good boy if possible.

Good old Siege Megatron. Many are tired of the mold but Hasbro is banking on you letting this new release slide since the newly revealed Transformers Shattered Glass Megatron has new parts to give the old mold a new alt mode. And he costs the same as a regular voyager, which is a pretty sweet deal. Plus with this redeco, you get the nice presentation for MOSC collectors and a special comic. All for $29.99. He is coming out October first of this year.
He can be ordered here: https://hasbropulse.com/products/transf ... iant-cover

So, SG Megs link brings up a 404 page.
Tried ordering twice and was extracted from cart. either they sold out That fast or the page wasn't ready for the influx of traffic.
Either way, i am SOL until it comes back up.
EDIT: Link went live again and i got my order in.

...I can't believe they actually went the extra mile and made him a triple-changer for no reason other than some semblance of accuracy to the original, those absolute mad lads. I've already preordered this, and it looks like I did it just in time as the price has increased now, and after the similar situation with the ER Centurion Drone I feel like those who got orders in with the lower price will in fact only have to pay the lower price, so that's awesome. VERY curious to see how Starscream and Goldbug turn out now, hopefully the fact that they seem to be referencing the original molds more means that Starscream will 100% be a Tetrajet.
Also joke's on you, News Team, I've never bought this mold before!

The figure looks nice, I like the paint job. There's at least more work gone into this than Blurr who only has a headswap with his repaint. It's clear that this is inspired by Energon Megatron.
But my god, the asking price from Hasbro in the UK? £34.99 is a bit much. To put it in perspective for the American buyers, that's the equivalent of $48. I was kinda happy to see that Pulse was being spread to other countries but the fact that Hasbro are charging UK fans a premium beyond the added price this already has, just doesn't sit well with me.
If they'd added about £4 to the original £23.99 of the Voyager price, roughly equivalent to what they added to the price for Americans, it'd be more acceptable (that's despite the fact that £23.99 is already higher than the American retail cost). It's a shame because I do kinda like the look of the figure but I cannot justify the price hike for a Voyager quality figure.
If it were like SS86 Hot Rod, who is smaller but has a much higher quality than pretty much any other Voyager we've had in a long time, then maybe it'd be okay. But with this Megatron that looks good but as a figure is largely just acceptable with a lot of hollow cavities? Nah.

I bought it twice
Also, I updated the article on the front page with the new price.

And that's why the alt mode was bugging me in the back of my head...

Managed to get mine in for $30. Definitely digging this fellas and glad there was some effort put into making him close to the original version., though I’m hoping the wings don’t require partsforming.

looks like they will. There's a 5mm peg on both the sides and the tops of the wings, the side ones are for the spaceship configuration and the tops for the way they're oriented in robot mode.

Good attempt. Instead of a Tank accessory, he turns into an actual tank, but I don't see a sword. His Turret gun piece which doubled as a sword does not seem to be shown here even though it is stated to be there in the description.

Americas price has gone up, hasbro makes sure fans in every country gets screwed these days XD
On a side note I didnt realise it's the Siege mold so I'm out on this one unless Hasbro some how throws a free figure in with him (it's not that far off what SG Prime and Ratchet cost me). Kapows saying prices off hasbro figures to receive price hikes (which for most cases they already have -especially charging the next size class up prices for the size below it for some)

Another Siege Megatron? NOOOOOOOOOOO! How many of these figures must remain unsold before Hasbro gets the message that we want something better?
Anyhoo, thoughts: The colors look OK, and the new wings/canopy look clever in helping to conceal the old H-treads. But - they're STILL there. It doesn't help that the robot thighs are completely exposed. This makes me think that the entire front section of the alt mode is going to flop around a lot, unless they engineered some way to keep the robot hip joints from moving. Otherwise - that cockpit will suffer from severe drooping (don't snicker, Crow).
The robot mode looks a little encumbered by all the extra accessories, but otherwise, Siege Megatron was always OK in robot mode. The lack of feet that tilt forward on WFC figures always bugged me though, especially with this mold. Ditto for the hands which just won't fold out all the way.
Passing on this one - unless it winds up on discount.
