I wish instead of how normal Starscream constantly tries to usurp Megatron, Shattered Glass Starscream should pull a "GET DOWN MR. PRESIDENT!" for SG Megatron at every opportunity.
@@The_Calcium_Kingyes, even when megatron gets annoyed by it he’s glad he have someone at his side that cared enough to keep him safe and give up his life for him
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.
@@KingdomofEvania100 Earthspark is painful to watch. Want a good story about Megatron having an actual kinda-sorta redemption without butchering his characterization? Then read the the IDW comic run of More then Meets the eye. There his change of heart is due to a long journey and is actually somewhat believable without involving a completely cringeworthy relationship with vomit-inducing subtext between Megatron and a human.
both will be so depressed now knowing what could have been, but also now knowing there monstrous mass murdering version of them...if it is IDW then SG Megatron will at least have peace knowing his counter apart become better. Optimus meanwhile will feel shame over his SG version
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
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!
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 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
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 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
@@DerekUpNorth what I think I like more is that they aren't more Cunning then they would be. They don't feel extra this or that to swap the narrative. Since it's current time the autobots are winning as much as they would be in the other universe. The only reason it looks so desperate is because the autobots are killers. At a time the decepticons were winning. They just aren't in contact with the deceptions that would turn the battle. Like tarn hasn't shown up yet. Jetfire was on the fence.
That was a breath of fresh air watching the roles reversed. I suppose prime's more recent sentiment in the new live action movies "at all cost" made him worse than his foes. Funny though considering him terminating himself after realizing he cheating in a game... the two different prime walking two different paths show he could have been Megatron at any juncture in the lore!!!😢😢
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.
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)
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.
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 (:
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.
I feel like evil Optimus is more evil than normal megatron, or at least not as relatable/understandable. He didn’t go insane or lose his principles, he didn’t have any to begin with
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...
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.
What I like about this palar universe is that neither Orion nor Megatron are wrong but the difference is that one went too far in the normal universe it was Megatron in this it is Orion
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.

I just love the fact that starscream isn’t a cowardly traitor and is actually a well respected character with morals and Megaatroan right hand man.
Starscream a loyal ride or die soldier and friend of Megatron? One could say he’s the SG universe’s equivalent to Bumblebee
I wish instead of how normal Starscream constantly tries to usurp Megatron, Shattered Glass Starscream should pull a "GET DOWN MR. PRESIDENT!" for SG Megatron at every opportunity.
@@The_Calcium_Kingyes, even when megatron gets annoyed by it he’s glad he have someone at his side that cared enough to keep him safe and give up his life for him
@@demonicdeku1066 it would be funny to see Megatron trip over a rock and Starscream just blasts it back to Primus
Hearing compassionate and megatron in the same sentence hurt my brain for a moment. 😆
valid 💯 😂

@@_Muzolf
I've seen videos on it. I like Megatron has a good guy.
Megatron and Dorothy in my mind are purely platonic. Dot has a husband, lol.
Exactly my thoughts🤣🤣
imagine good Optimus and and compassionate Megatron meeting
if you think about it, thats something he dreams of. he wants his friend back.
True
both will be so depressed now knowing what could have been, but also now knowing there monstrous mass murdering version of them...if it is IDW then SG Megatron will at least have peace knowing his counter apart become better. Optimus meanwhile will feel shame over his SG version
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
@@timmyhaymore7125 Nope, IMAGE has that license and the new comics are selling well so best chances is a reboot of the SG universe.
Agreed
Nooooo
What a missed opportunity to change his name from Optimus Prime to Optimus Crime 🗣️
😂 😂 😂

Imagine a fight with the vicious desperate bumblebee (SG Gold Bug) and our heroic bumblebee (G1)
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

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
i love how starscream character also alter his main traits from coward liar to brave and true
Starscream being competent is really funny
It’s definitely a complete 180 on his character
“Twisted Mirror” is a great Star Trek episode name
I just love the alternate designs in Shattered Glass.
They are pretty sweet!
@@DerekUpNorth what I think I like more is that they aren't more Cunning then they would be. They don't feel extra this or that to swap the narrative.

The deceptibots vs rhe autocons
I love the shattered glass version of sound wave and shockwave
This is the best Alternate universe ever.
I WOULD PAY TO SEE THIS AS A MOVIE LIKE TRANSFORMERS ONE
That was a breath of fresh air watching the roles reversed. I suppose prime's more recent sentiment in the new live action movies "at all cost" made him worse than his foes. Funny though considering him terminating himself after realizing he cheating in a game... the two different prime walking two different paths show he could have been Megatron at any juncture in the lore!!!😢😢

Appreciate that. Thank you!
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.

I wonder will we ever see the combaticons in the future issues of shattered glass

I might have to check this out, thanks!
@@DerekUpNorth glad to have recommended it
Thundercracker fan here
😁👍
I really hope someday someone covers the original Shattered Glass story. Not the IDW one.
It’s on my radar. Sooo it could happen.
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!
There’s satan, then there is Shockwave, then shattered glass optimus
I feel like evil Optimus is more evil than normal megatron, or at least not as relatable/understandable. He didn’t go insane or lose his principles, he didn’t have any to begin with
This is fascinating
I do like that the Autobots are still called Autobots and vice versa for the 'cons
Just what I need before going to sleep
Thank you for listening to my sweet, sultry tones 😂 sleep well!
I love that the desipcons are good
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.
Love the decepticons here, 😈 Autobots 🤢
We need a sequel
There is one. Shattered Glass II is linked in the description.
Good versions of bad guys will always be sick!
Ain’t that the truth!
Good video
Glad you enjoyed
Starscream being a loyal discipline makes me twitch
Shatteres Glass was a fanmade comic on Deviantart
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.

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.
Shattered glass Starscream x Soundwave is fast approaching.
I NEED AN ENDING😭😭😭😭😭
Shattered Glass 2 is already up!
@@DerekUpNorth yoo tnx!
4:42 honestly... Orion has A GOOD POINT here.
What I like about this palar universe is that neither Orion nor Megatron are wrong but the difference is that one went too far in the normal universe it was Megatron in this it is Orion
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.
Transformers Shattered Glass 2
Issue 1 drops this upcoming Monday ✌🏻
so even if the roles are reversed, they still somewhat retain their core character traits but placed in the context of them being either good or evil?
Jetfire ans Starscream is so cute together im crying.Doomed robot yaoi
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
