TRANSFORMERS: THE BASICS on SHATTERED GLASS

Going for a deeper cut on this week's episode as we take a look at one of the most famous convention-exclusive concepts in Transformers, which has slowly begun to influence mainstream parts of the franchise. Time to get THE BASICS on SHATTERED GLASS!

There were convention exclusives, Collector's Club exclusives. Some already existing figures were reused as Shattered Glass characters.

@ You forgot about an episode from Challenge of the GoBots - the principal rival of Transformers in the 80s - where the positive universe Guardians are transported to a world where the roles of the Guardians and Renegades are switched, albeit with no differences in color scheme. The problem with this is those other franchises that you listed all gave their mirror universes a major media presence in the form of actual TV episodes. Shattered Glass has only ever been a major presence in convention-exclusive media. Nothing in mainstream media, like television or movies. It's an extremely niche part of the franchise that few casual fans know about.

I really love this series. It goes way further than a lot of what I've read and come to understand and makes one thing very clear: there's more to everything Transformers than meets the eye! Seriously, with so many continuities, conflicting origins, shared names and confusing timelines it seems you can do pretty much whatever you want with the Transformers and it'll be taken as canon. Not necessarily a BAD thing, but very... VERY confusing... which makes these videos all the more enjoyable because they're so ENLIGHTENING! Thank you for producing these. I hope to see a great deal more!

[@SciFiFan2012]

As an 8-year-old boy, I thought I had just stroke GOLD!! haha, ALL my friends at school loved them too!!! Of course, through high school, I secretly keep drawing them, because it was just a passion of mine. So, life passed by and then 2007 came and regardless of how people have criticized​ them, I HAVE LOVED EVERY MOVIE.... just being grateful that we have these things STILL today!! I haven't read the comics since Marvel's first run... maybe the first 60 issues and I STILL HAVE THEM ALL too!! I lost touch of the comics, and have tried here and there, but finding these videos the other day, I've been reading them trying to get caught up and everything is starting to make so much more sense! ANYHOW... KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK AND THANK YOU!!!

LOL If you wanna check out how I've done the recent ones... you can go to my channel, and check out the Star Wars ROGUE ONE comic teaser video. Let me know how ya like it... the ONLY thing I'd need help with is VOICE OVERS for Transformers.

I like to make it feel like your watching a movie, with that cinematic vibe. You can always check out my production portfolio at www.JMIAH.com or directly to some work at www.jmiah.com/portfolio.html let me know your thoughts!

[@mrnoodlr0284]

So if Unicron is a multiversal singularity (if i remember correctly), then how is there a universe where Unicron occurs as a good guy? He couldn't be benevolent in one reality and evil in all other realities, could he?

[@ChrisMcFeely]

The events of "Another Light" included Nexus Prime using the Star Saber and Terminus Blade to destroy the concept of multiversal singularities, so that multiple discrete incarnations of those characters can now exist in each universe, and the SG Unicron did not come into being until after that had happened. That said, even before that, it's been noted that singularities are subject to the "laws" of any universe they enter - for example, if they entered a two-dimensional universe, they would become 2D. Entering a "negative polarity" universe would logically invert aspects of them for the duration of their stay. It's been noted that because of that singularities refrain from entering "Shattered" universes. The story featuring The Fallen mentioned in this video stresses that he winds up in the SG universe by accident and that the world has never been visited by any of his siblings - but his body also becomes "mirrored," and instead of being constantly on fire, as the picture in the video shows, he becomes coated in ice.

Back in teh early 2000s there was actually a decently populated fan-run community dedicated to the Transformers "Mirrorverse" as it was referred to. It actually laid out considerable rules for those wanting to do fanfiction and art so as to not go off in weird directions, and people could read stuff from different authors that wouldn't conflict with the overall universe they'd created. It was long before the official Shattered Glass came out, and sadly, it shut down mid 00s, due to the forum costs and other committments. There's a few of the stories still floating about online, though. It was exceptionally darker and a lot less light hearted than SG, and in a lot of ways, superior to the SG universe. I miss it.

[@yourfriendlyneighborhoodsc1447]

honestly I'd say the mirror-verse actually makes MORE sense than the classic one, at least for stories like transformers prime, where the deceptions are Ex-slaves that rebeled against the upper class.

[@thechampionofskylands]

I’ve come up with my own concept that Shattered Glass is a sub-multiverse to the normal Multiverse. When Nexus Prime use the Star Saber and Terminus blade to get rid singler beings. The energy from it accidentally created a smaller second multiverse opposite to the original. That became The Shattered Glass multiverse

+rayquazaemerald Fair enough. It would also mean that the music would be lousy and no-one would actually go see the films in theaters... I kind of just meant that the plots would be better. Probably should have worded that differently, huh?

[@caigemalinowski5247]

Shattered Glass Bayverse would be Optimus and Megatron sitting down, drinking tea, and politely discussing politics and world news

[@TheDaxter11]

8:23 professor sumdac was gonna be animated shattered glasses nick fury? oh cmon hasbro! i wanna see it even more now! ide also have loved to see sari fight her shattered glass counterpart as well, damn you hasbro... give us season 4!

[@joseluissifuentes8639]

And why does Shattered Optimus have a beard and Sari is more sexier and looks like a vandal??

[@Stealthwilde]

R-Rodimus Unicronus.... I...I can't...

[@warlordsquerk5338]

Watching this again, I need to get a hold of some of this Shattered Glass stuff. I can't say I've ever heard of it outside this video but it looks interesting and that shattered color scheme of Megatron looks really nice

[@jasontachin]

RW:actually when Hot Rod is in the Shattered Glass continuity I believe his name is Rodimus Cron.

[@DolphyBlueDrake]

Rodimus Cron is from the Prime Trilogy. In SG, he's just called "Rodimus" until he has himself crowned as Prime in the issue that mirrors the G1 movie. (He declares himself a Prime after he pulls the same stunt as G1 Starscream after Skylynx asks for the Autobots to jettison some weight just like Astrotrain did.)

[@jasontachin]

@@DolphyBlueDrake rw:i see what you mean.

[@transgender_F-117]

I mean, originally, the deceptions WERE heroic rebels, trying to overthrow their corrupt government, but only because assholes because Megatron was corrupted

[@The_Wosh]

It's kinda funny how sometimes the story is serious and other times it's basically a big joke

[@camcordernonsense5264]

I love transformers and knew nothing about SHATTERED GLASS. thanks for this video

[@RamWorkz]

Do Nemesis Prime! Transformers 5 only helped confuse people into thinking he's just a possessed Optimus Prime

[@PhoenyxRysing]

In that case, he was...

[@megathot3734]

There have been so many versions of him that it's not even a confusion

[@im2hastyle]

I've seen this video when you first made it, but I've been so excited for this new SG Hasbro line that has FINALLY come true 👍 that I had to watch this video again. Love the SG concept and stories, but most of all the various character backgrounds!!

[@TheSmart-CasualGamer]

Evil Mr. T Jazz? AWESOME!

[@Franky_Sthein]

I would love to see a video about Galvatrons origin story. Hope you are willing to do that. Also nice videos, I have been a fan since G1 but missed out on most of the storys except for Beast Wars and Prime.

[@shinji4269]

Oh I can explain the g1 galvatron back story Ok it starts like this So starscream throws damaged megatron off the ship in space While starscream was leader Unicorn found megatron and gave him a upgrade in space After that He. Galvatron went back to earth to decepticon base Galvatron killed starscream at took over as the “new leader”

[@ejhproductions1]

YES! I only got into your series last Monday, and have been binge watching. Just the other day I was hoping you'd do a Shattered Glass episode. Yay!

[@stevencisneros9306]

We need an animated movie set in the Transformers Shattered Glass universe!!!

[@RALFT-eh7ri]

Yes ive waited so long for another episode. Your videos are really well made man, respect.

[@sunshinekc26]

I hope these comics get reprints someday. Id love to read them.

[@nicholaschase768]

Can you please do the basics on the “prime wars trilogy”? That’s a great mini-series.

[@Grimlock2183]

Shattered Glass still lives! Its now represented in alternate art for 14 Transformers cards in Magic The Gathering’s Brother’s War set.

[@stevieturner9338]

I would still really love to these made in to animated movie. I think that would be pretty cool.

[@megatron2171]

I always imagine this like if transformers have reverse day

[@emperorsupra9014]

Dank Starscream yeah, they should make multiple continuities with the SG concepts

[@thekerminator6521]

I want an idw interpretation with a more serious tone to it, like a separate continuity not connected to their G1 continuity or the new one after that. That would be awesome

[@videogollumer]

Would a Shatter Glass Lugnut be a skeptic in SG Megatron's capabilities as a leader or an optimistic eager to please type?

[@tarn4633]

How much potential does the TFCU has and how much it is overlooked.

[@Seanatonin]

I would like to see a Transformers: Shattered Glass live action trilogy

[@FigureGunplaFan]

Also Chris: *SG bad* (after the reveal of Earthrise OP being colored in this paint scheme)

[@MegatronEnthusiast]

We need an animated cartoon where Frank and Peter retain their G1 Megatron and Optimus voices. I also wanna see what a “bringer of peace” Unicron would sound like, versus Orson Welles’ original 86 voice.

[@sivanlevi3867]

"Shattered Glass has literally shattered the glass ceiling" Oh ho ho! Someboday give this guy a drink for unparalled sense of humor!

[@mikhailsubi6969]

LOVE YOUR VIDEOS MAN!!! KEEP MAKING MORE OF THIS "BASICS" Videos please!!

[@stevesamuals2651]

Considering how many times you've mentioned shattered glass in different videos (my favorite of which was ravage) do you think you could make a compilations of every shattered glass bot description?

[@videogollumer]

For the record, Star Trek was NOT the first to do an mirror universe. DC Comics did had already done one with the release of August 1964's Justice League of America #29, more than three full years before "Mirror, Mirror" aired, which introduced Earth-3 and its evil Justice League equivalent, the Crime Syndicate.

[@chingma8064]

Man, this makes me wish there was a Transformers show called Transformers: Beyond, which had a focus on the Multiverse, and how the various Autobots, Decepticons, Maximals, Predacons, and Mini-Cons of the Multiverse would interact with each other over the course of several seasons. Have the Beyond Universe's Cybertronians interact with their alternate counterparts during a story when Shockwave tries to build a new Space Bridge. The Multiversal Space Bridge would be used by Autobots and Decepticons to enlist allies across the Multiverse, full of previous versions of Transformers. We could see Shattered Glass universes full of evil G1 and Animated Autobots and Maximals, and heroic Decepticons and Predacons. The One, the creator of the various versions of Primus and Unicron would be either be the main hostage or antagonist, and either stopping him or saving him would be the final mission or boss of the series.
