    Since Starriors exists parallel to Transformers (Deadeye was among the robots waiting in line in Axiom Nexus) there must be a Shattered Glass Starriors universe. If SG Starriors exist this Japanese Tomy Warugasu toy I own must be Shattered Glass Deadeye. So besides being heroic, what makes him the opposite or positive universe Deadeye? Is he a crack shot with a keen eye, but deaf and unable to hear orders?

    FB_IMG_1610852716567.jpg

    Tomy R.A.T.S. Squad Reinforcement Personnel 2 (a rare European release) also makes a good Shattered Glass Hot Shot, because it's almost Hot Shot in Slaughter Steelgrave colors!

    FB_IMG_1600390356361~3.jpg

    Shattered Glass Beast Wars Grimlock from Fox Kids Dinobot.

    "Total victory requires total destruction."

    In another era when wars were waged between Autobots and Decepticons, Grimlock was a power hungry commander of the evil Autobots. Today, disguised as a vicious velociraptor, Grimlock continues his interstellar tyranny as he fights the heroic Predacons. After converting to robot mode, his spinning slasher sword - hidden within his tail - slices through the Predacon forces. And when the attack is over, you can usually find him gloating over battle-beaten enemies.

    Nice... the Longtooth idea is fun. Definitely some similarities with the vehicle mode.

    I do have this figure, and he's never worked as any sort of Brawl. While I might not make him SG Longtooth, your idea made me realize I should just make him into SG Breacher.

    Really nice idea. I am tempted to do this myself. Wonder if it's possible to swap the teal legs from the Kup Headmaster on to the Scourge Headmaster, for a better color flow.

    Wait, he was?! Huh... since TR Trypticon came out, I've wanted a red Deadeye-inspired red repaint of him (maybe replacing Full-Tilt with a Cutthroat or Swoop repaint as Cricket). Hearing that Deadeye actually made a cameo in the TF universe just makes me want it more.

    I never actually owned Deadeye and Cricket, but used to covet them in KB Toys as a kid, haha.

    To quote the story:

    --
    “Where’s Bug Bite?” she asked aloud to no one in particular, craning her neck and standing on the tips of her feet. “I saw him wander off to talk to that robot dinosaur back there,” Bad Boy replied. “The red one with the pterodactyl on his shoulder. I told him he’d lose his place in line.”
    --

    Starriors have had other cameos in club fiction. Ever since Takara and Tomy merged, they are part of the larger TF multiverse.

    Ask Vector Prime names the Starriors Marvel comic universe here:

    --

    "Cymond 1184.0 Gamma seemed to take shape alongside such Multiversal backbones as Primax 984.17 Alpha and Primax 984.0 Gamma. And yet, the Wastors and Cosmittors and Trashors of this stream seem only tangentially related to Cybertronians, at best."

    Vey cool, thanks! I like the idea of Starriors and Transformers sharing a universe... they work great as another mechanical-life world out there.

    Shattered Glass Chop Shop made using BotCon Beet-Chit.

    Unlike positive universe Chop Shop, who is a thief, SG Chop Shop is security guard who specializes in loss prevention.

    From Jesse Wittenrich on Twitter:

    Sheeldron is actually SG Roller. His original rover mode was flattened by a Constructicon steam roller. So Ratchet, in his dark humor, repaired him with a robot configuration but left the flattened shape of the rover as his alternate mode.

    The ability to connect to trailers and city modes as a ramp was Ratchet's final twist of his scalpel. Roller has to relive the trauma of being run over every day for the rest of his tenure as an Autobot.

    Shattered Glass Tasmanian Kid from Robot Masters Bound Rogue.

    SG Tasmanian Kid is a slacker through and through. Would rather sit around eating Energon goodies and playing video games than actually getting any work done. Could actually be dangerous if he only tried.

    Motto: "Okay guys, I'll get it done...right after I finish this level of Sonic..."

    FB_IMG_1610974585632.jpg

    Shattered Glass Glyph made from a Chinese blue KO reissue Bumblebee. Much like SG Bumblebee, it's the same basic color as her positive universe version, but with black accents.

    --

    Glyph is a devious Autobot who specializes in coded communications. Her insanely complicated Enigma Matrix coding is completely unbreakable. Luckily her codes are so complex, most Autobots cannot figure out how to use them, and don't bother to use them. Hates the new security guard Tap-Out, who was assigned to keep her from being captured by Decepticons.

    --

    Currently available on eBay from numerous sellers.

    Or if you want Soundblaster as Ravinspar. This can also give a reason to get both the Siege and Mersonary Soundblaster.

    Onyx Prime: since he is supposed to be a centaur transformer ( not too many of those ) I believe animorphs Visser three ultra class makes a pretty good repurposed version.

    Not gonna lie, recontextualizing him as Onyx actually sells me on that pile of nonsense. The vaguely Predacon colors, the crazy beast forms, it all works.

    Shattered Glass Smolder and Chopster made with spare Stakeout and Razorbeam figures I have.

    They would make a great firefighting crew. Perhaps with ice blasting power?
