    Just as Doctor Doom has Doombots, I like to think Shockwave has an army of clones and replicas.

    That’s more or less canon in some versions. Cyberverse has drones that are his alt mode and in devastation he can create clones during his boss fight

    Shattered Glass fan idea: SG Vehicon Air Warriors from Cyber Battalion Jetfire.

    These semi-sentient robots are the latest artificial intelligence design from the Decepticons. These ember-less peacekeepers are built with more advanced reasoning circuitry than the Decepticon's first AI experiment, Grimlock. They have a physical forms inspired by their designer, Starscream. He hopes these troops will serve well on both New Cybertron and Earth.

    After the Constructicons rebuilt the laborer Tronus into the first Decepticon, Megatron, they set to helping him recruit heroes to join his noble cause, but they never forgot about his dearest Titania, who had suffered greatly at the hands of Optimus Prime.

    Requiring a complete rebuild from the ground up, Titania eventually joined the Decepticon cause as their first female warrior. Sadly the trauma caused by Optimus completely destroyed all the memories of her previous life. While she still respects the Decepticon leader, she has no feelings for him. Megatron has resigned himself to allowing his former love get on with her new life. She now leads a team of Female Decepticons as Megaempress, an unrelenting Force for good on Cybertron and beyond.

    Shattered Glass fan idea: SG Megaempress from Cybertron Thunderblast.

    That’s exactly how I plan to use him until we get an official SG Ironhide.

    Not perfect, but close enough for me.

    Shattered Glass fan idea: SG Barricade from Transformers 2014 Emergency Response Streetsmart.

    Motto: "Protect and serve."
    Function: Law Enforcement

    Barricade lives his life by the Decepticon ideals of truth and service to others. Constantly on patrol for Autobot lawbreakers, he always has time to stop and help the local lifeforms in need. He takes his disguise as a police car very seriously, downloading local laws and enforcing them to the letter, even if it distracts him from a larger mission.

    Note: I thought this was a good toy for him, since is was also used as TFSS Barricade, but in black.

    Was just thinking of this character this morning, because I was thinking the upcoming Rusticon figure could work for him as well... for his dead version. :) 

    But yeah, in terms of vehicle mode shape, FOC Jazz is a good pick!

    Suggestions for repurposing or rename? I’d love to get him but he needs a new identity (excluding SG)

    I repurposed him as Duststorm. Duststorm (TF 2010) - Transformers Wiki

    My own cannon: He took command of the seekers after starscream was destroyed by Galvatron.

    Shattered Glass fan idea: SG Dion from BotCon Hoist

    Motto: "I'm the monster! I'm the villain! What perfection! What precision! Keen incisions, I deliver."
    Function: Repo Bot

    Dion was once a rival of Optronix who competed with him for all things, but none more than for the attention of Aerial. When Aerial chose Dion, Optronix congratulated the couple, then took revenge by secretly poisoning the fembot with tox-en.

    Dion never learned the truth of who killed Aerial. He threw himself into his work in repossession for the greedy medic Fixit.

    Young Autobots know they can finance their upgrades and replacement fuel pumps, but they best be punctual with making payments lest they call in... the Repo Bot.
