    If you're up for ultra-obscure IDW characters, he's a pretty good match for Springarm.

    Here's a better view of the character on Alex Milne's DeviantArt page.

    Overall white bot with red and yellow highlights, a Prowl/Bluestreak head, a big V-shape on his chest, and even a dark blue section that kinda matches the rubber Beast Hunters accessory bits.

    Only problem is that he's not G1-derived, and he's a complete nobody, haha.

    Bonus points if you slap some golden accents on him;)

    Do you by any chance have an image of him. Curious to see how he looks.

    This is not a repurpose per se, but I headcanon that SG Optimus and Ratchet came over to the "main" universe and got new aliases. I'm calling Ratchet "Bodybag" but haven't decided what to call Optimus. Thought about "Unicronus" but that seems to lazy because they already did that with SG Rodimus.

    Thanks! Thats an awesome panel filled with easter eggs and interesting characters.

    I spot some Seacons and one that looks like Titan Masters Fangry's little dragon.

    How about G2 Meanstreak? Blue race car with yellow highlights and a yellow head, wheels on his feet, and a personality that sounds a lot like Movie Sideswipe.

    As a bonus connection, Meanstreak was a G2 character, and that Sideswipe's color scheme may have been partially based off his G2 Gobot version.

    Another possibility would be the Alternators or Prime version of Smokescreen, but I'm guessing you don't want another Smokescreen in the mix...

    I currently have him as machine wars sideswipe (sideswipe clone of the G1 sideswipe from Jhiaxus, who is repurposed from studio series blitzing).

    I repurposed some movieverse figures as machine wars figures(mostly clones of their G1 counter parts). Jhiaxus is the secret leader of the machine wars clones, but he is disguised himself as machine wars blitzwing. Controling from the shadows, with his own secret agenda while using the machine wars as a distraction. Megaplex believes he's in charge, but is not. Kinda of my own little fan-cannon, mix with some of the machine wars Botcon story.

    Shattered Glass fan idea: SG Thrust from TFSS Nacelle.

    "My engines' sing the song of victory!"

    His engines are tuned to play commanding marches. Believes half the battle is won if allies are rallied by his mere arrival, so he makes no attempt to be sneaky. Loud and proud of his booming musical scores. Building, powerful finales can topple nearby buildings. Flies at mach 2.5, can double speed in 20 seconds for up to two minutes. Carries four air-to-air missiles and two smart missile launchers in robot Mode.

    When I was a kid, I remember my mom picking up a "Star Wars Episode 1 Electronic Naboo Royal Starship" on clearance at Walmart. I remember using it as the beast wars axalon spaceship. One day I gotta take it out of storage.[​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG]

    I picked up Shattered Glass Brunt, AKA Centurion Drone. He is colored like a G1 Dinobot too! Perfect. Compare to this Digibash I saw of SG Trypticon...
