    So seeing as Bug Bite is in the show, I wonder if that means Shattered Glass is getting an IDW comic series now.

    Now that this is actually happening, I wonder if Iron Factory is going to add him to the team

    Bug bite =//= Shattered Glass
    He's a dimension-jumping Go Bot.

    We don't know if the one in the show is that.

    I get that, but an SG Bugbite would be a good guy going by its logic. He also clearly has a mercenary symbol alongside Doubledealer and Exhaust.

    I didn't say anything about a SG Bug Bite. I was talking about the fact that the Bug Bite toy said he was from the show before the trailer came out, and the Shattered Glass Optimus Prime and Ratchet say from IDW, so I was saying that maybe Shattered Glass might be getting IDW comics, just like how Bug Bite is appearing in the Netflix series.

    It COULD BE that IDW is collecting the rest of the Fubpub comics but with Galaxies ending and TFs and Mirror Universe Star Trek being solid performers for IDW -- and Hasbro having a lot of new G1ish molds that SG is a priority now.

    Think of it this way: the post-Kingdom landscape is supposedly NOT G1. There are only certain TFs that make sense for Studio Series. So maybe SG is getting Selects or store exclusive WFC redecos as a way to keep selling carbots while CHUG goes off in a different direction.

    I think there's definitely a market that only buys G1ish TFs and Hasbro may hope to keep that market with a load of Stepper/Artfire/Shattered Glass/G2 style WFC redecos with no new design budget alongside some Studio Series G1 offerings while CHUG goes Beast Wars and Unicron Trilogy or in a whole new direction. I think WFC gave them the raw material for years of repaints and there's probably a market that would rather buy those repaints than new figures.

     Not sure what happened to TFsource. They used to be my fav until the crazy markups. Still $360 for Omega & $60 for the Target clones 2pack , etc.

    Back to buying from BBTS again.

    Probably trying to recoup from lost business and other problems over the last few years. But MULTIPLE instances of peoples' credit card info being compromised when using their site will do that to you. Their public response to those instances didn't help either. Add to that, them advertising limited time sale prices that then get a deeper discounted sales price 2-3 days later I'm sure didn't make some happy that purchased during the initial sale announcement(s).

    A few years back, they had some really nice black friday/cyber monday sales, so it probably won't hurt to keep a lookout for what they'll offer this holiday season provided one uses paypal rather than their credit card info directly on their site.

    I really like this set, Prime especially, the purple, dark blue & gray topped off by the red eyes look amazing.

    Hope there's more Shattered Glass coming; I want a SG Rodimus out of the SS86 Hot Rod mold. For one because I think black and purple Hot Rod with a mustache is great, but also because that Hot Rod mold seems fantastic so I would very much want to see more usage of it.

    I'm waiting for Bug Bite since September and I was confident that within Christmas I should have received but at this point still no shops have him.
    Anyway surely will arrive ,at least in some shops,in early December days.
