The Dark Side of Transformers: The Shattered Glass Saga [Video Essay]

[@personal9372]

Soundwave in the original verse lacks empathy and is searching for meaning, while Soundwave in the Mirrorverse is full of empathy and shares his purpose with everyone.

[@JayPlusForerunner]

Shattered Glass is one my favorite Transformers continuities, i have an entire Shattered Glass collection

[@HandsomeComics]

Same here and That’s awesome! I’m trying to put together a Shattered Glass Set too, still missing a few pieces

[@JayPlusForerunner]

@HandsomeComics I still missing Starscream, goldbug, and blaster

[@tasiashiraori]

​@@JayPlusForerunner Can you give me the list of Shattered Glass Transformers? I only got the IDW version

[@TheRealArtimusKnight]

This NEEDS to be a show

[@G1Grimlock94]

Very similar to The Crime Syndicate

[@HandsomeComics]

Absolutely! Shattered Glass and Earth-3 Are Really Similar

[@beezynuts526]

It's actually the same writers

[@im2hastyle]

I've been a deep reader of the SG lore for years. So I LOVE this video!!! I'm so tired of seeing people put together random figures and repaints and calling them "Shattered Glass" and then making a youtube video lol. This is actually educational and refreshing to see. Thank you so much for the absolutely great video!!!!!!!!

[@TheRealArtimusKnight]

So this Optimus; I guess you could call him Tyrannus Prime

[@PixelaGames2000]

Or…Pessimis Prime

[@shawnathin7450]

If I wrote shatter glass bumblebee would have been a Deceptacon but for some strange reasons when he goes on missions with other Deceptacon he the only one who survives now the Deceptacon just think he’s a very good warrior but in reality he’s a traitor and kills other Deceptacon.

[@Glowingspark]

Transformers Shattered Glass is honestly one of the most interesting parts of the whole franchise. Great video!

[@kalebdoom7944]

i love how in every Mirror verse type of stories our hero’s are much much worse than the villains

[@ChaseDaOrk3767]

Why so?

[@kalebdoom7944]

I found a Shattered Optimus at the Mall of Georgia.

[@HandsomeComics]

That’s awesome! That’s one of my grail figures

[@ViewerIsLame]

@@HandsomeComics He was $650 tho.

[@quaginator]

Not sure if just me, but i cannot find any Shattered Glass trade paperbacks available anywhere! Sold out via usual online outlets. Cant even find them 2nd hand. 😢

[@RetroRobotRadio]

I did some research into the history of evil mirror universe duplicates in popular fiction. Star Trek definitely made it popular. Doctor Who copied it with the episode "Inferno", then Lost in Space with "The Antimatter Man." There was a Superfriends episode with evil Superfriends, and that story was unique in it had a red Batman. ?the origin of mirror universe recolors? GoBots, Charmed, Hercules and South Park are all modern shows with evil mirror universes too.

[@MelonHere20]

There's also an episode in the Pokémon X and Y anime that features a mirror universe episode

[@thesadistor-hl7lw]

@@MelonHere20 hi dude how are you today

[@spectrelead]

Yep, Trek's TOS episode "Mirror, Mirror" made it famous, then the few DS9 episodes that went back, and the Enterprise 2-parter "In A Mirror, Darkly", just amped up the whole thought process.

[@bloodstreak2001]

Hope to see more of transformers shattered glass content

[@autobot_jazzman9856]

If only this is put into the main stream.

[@HandsomeComics]

I would love to see it! Hopefully some day will get it, but I feel like it would need to be either in the context of an arc of a TV Series or coming a few phases into a Marvel-esque Transformers Cinematic Universe so it doesn’t just feel out of place and weird

[@autobot_jazzman9856]

​@@HandsomeComicsat least have an episode where one of the main characters enter there like cliffjumper, have it be confusing at first, then the rest is history.

[@pizzakat07]

this is cool

[@HandsomeComics]

Thank You!! Really appreciate that!!

[@Traph]

We need more Shattered Glass.

[@RetroRobotRadio]

I run the FaB group for Shattered Glass Transformers. Have you joined?

[@SuperiorAmericanGuy]

They should make shattered glass a movie or tv series but nobody likes shattered glass due to Starscream and skywarp died from goldbug and seeing the decepticon seeker jets as the good guys.

[@cyrussoxlegion]

I love the title Blitzkrieg bop😂

[@bman3794]

It’s like the marvels equivalent of “what if?”

[@diegos7337]

Very good video!

[@williamchamburgh8316]

making a shattered glass setting for the Essence20 ttrpg ( it's already based on G.I.Joe, Power Rangers, Transformers)

[@themysteriousface7633]

The SG Fun Pub lore was way better compared to IDW, as much as I liked certain parts about IDW's I liked the unique designs of the SG characters that didn't look like their G1 designs along with certain alternate universe elements.

[@odkdsjf]

If I may give some you advice.... I think the video would be better if you spoke slower and paused between sentences. It feels like you are trying to get through it as fast as possible, and it makes the whole story you are telling difficult to process. I ended up slowing your video down to 80% to comprehend and process the what I was hearing.

Bayverse moment

[@rishinsenguptagoddestroyer5024]

Kinda wished the april fools shattered glass was canon..........

[@scr0ngle108]

This universe should never have been taken seriously. It has Optimus with a goatee and lolcat Ravage ffs

[@autobot_jazzman9856]

Rodimus has the goatee not Optimus.

[@RetroRobotRadio]

​@@autobot_jazzman9856Optimus MIGHT have a goatee too. We can't see it.

[@lostintranslation1957]

All these alternative universe stories in all franchises are tirsome and unoriginal.

[@claudiochanganaqui2048]

We just want to see Motormaster and the other Stunticons in a next live movie for once!😤🎉🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍻🍻🤍🖤💜
