Fellow Seibertronians, following on from our first news story of this rather bizarre repaint of the MP-10 mold as Shattered Glass Optimus Prime, we can now report that through The Chosen Prime that Masterpiece Shattered Glass Optimus Prime is not only happening, but is already set to drop in December. Coming in at $179.99 US with a release date of December 2016, he's just around the corner, so do you intend to pre-order this fascinating re-use of the mold, or if you are just tired of all MP-10 repaints? Be sure to let us know in the comments below.

If people want him, great! I don't however. I have focussed on G1. That why I ain't getting the Beast Masterpieces, and why I've decided to trim the MP collection down a little.

They're both mp-10 - just not necessarily in name. They both use the mp-10 mold and are colored nearly identically to represent the same character >:oP

Yes! Pre-ordered. So glad this turned out to be legitimate. Now we just need official confirmation for MP Megatron 2.0...

Because it does make a difference to some Masterpiece collectors. First of all the colors are noticeably different on the two and unless they changed something the smokestacks are shorter on the Hasbro version. Some people (myself included) want to keep Masterpiece collections consistent in both manufacturer and packaging style. I only have a few Masterpiece figures but I plan on getting more and they'll all be Takara. I prefer the look of the Takara boxes and want it to be the same throughout my entire collection.

I get that, but then what is the use of discussing that in a thread about the release of a Hasbro Masterpiece figure?

Thats like saying G1 Prowl isnt a different character from Smokescreen, just a repaint.

This release represents a different character, here is his quick bio:

Optimus Prime is the sadistic, tyrannical leader of the evil Autobots, a cruel and ambitious villain whose plans fall nothing short of universal conquest.

It is, by definition, a completely different character. It's like saying Thundercracker's the same character as Starscream because he's just a repaint.

All the seekers being the same character, now there's a thought...

Shattered glass prime is a vastly different character from g1 prime - that's like saying g1 prime and g1 megs have the same character - they don't, not even remotely >:oP

This. I got the Hasbro Prime because his colours were closer to what I wanted and his eyes aren't dead.

Because I said it was cheaper than buying an MP-10 not the Hasbro Masterpiece optimus and both you and hellscream attempted to prove me wrong by saying they're the same thing.

To be fair the others wouldn't cost much - this IS MP-10 after all. A Shattered Glass Wheeljack or Sideswipe wouldn't be as hard on the wallet.

I'm honestly surprised this is legitimate. He looks nice enough, but it bums me out. Before the MP10 mold is retired I would like to see these (and would rather have before SG):
-G2
-White Magnus
-Diaclone Blue
-Dead Grey (sleep mode)

I'm so happy this is coming out. I adore Shattered Glass. Hopefully it is the first of many. MP Delta Magnus is perfect as a SG Ultra Magnus too. There are also a couple of third party products out there that can add to the SG army.

I never said that dude. And I didnt try to prove you wrong either. I was just asking what the point was of comparing this price to a takara toy when its a hasbro release.

But shattered glass is awesome and utterly unique and utterly utterly not G2.

So I am ok with that.

I want shattered glass, so much shattered glass. Animated would have had a shattered glass if it has gone to the fourth season, and I wish IDW could have something like that. I really really do love it

Except there aren't that many G2 option for Masterpiece. Inferno isn't that much different between G1 and G2, they've already done Sideswipe, Jazz hasn't had a G1 figure yet (nor have the other Dinobots). That leaves Grimlock (could happen), Optimus Prime (YOTG is close enough), Starscream (feels like they would have done him by now if they were interested), and Ramjet (already an exclusive so unlikely). Hasbro and Takara Tomy aren't quite as repaint crazy as people think they are.

Why are people so hostile to non G1 Masterpiece? Diaclone, G2 repaints, Japan G1 characters, Beast Wars, now Shattered Glass. Masterpiece has NEVER been billed as G1 only. If you don't want it, don't buy it. Why trash it for others who do want it?

Huh? I haven't noticed this.

... admittedly, I'm mostly going by this thread and assuming this post is in response to something here but I can't see it. Is this really a thing in the MP side of the fanbase?

Personally, I'm an Optimus worshipper (G1, mind you). :shhhh!!!

Peter Cullen would be proud!

Funnily enough, the authors of the BotCon 2008 SG comic story once said that they envisioned SG Optimus as sounding like Peter Cullen's Venger voice from the Dungeons & Dragons 80's cartoon.

D-max, I have never seen you this excited. Compared to many redecos of that mold, the price isn't so bad (just ask Shagaki), I hope you own this one day. But word to the wise,this seems to be a platinum exclusive so wait to see if an exclusive us retailer will have it or wait till the listings show up on e_bay before buying. I am pretty sure this will be available for 150 one way or another.

One does not understand how much I love shattered glass. I will gladly buy things shattered glass if I can get a hold of them (I am watching 5 auctions on shattered glass stuff on ebay as we speak).

But I suppose I could wait, but I don't want it to sell out either. Plus, if I do pre-order I'll do so through TFsource
