This list below is for the Shaterred Glass line. As we've seen so far, all the toys are redecos of molds from the same non SG character, even though a different mold would look closer to the original source material.
While the amount per case adds to the validity of this post, it doesn't really help most people as these are online only figures packed in solid cases.
Tra Gen SG Dlx Wheeljack x8
Tra Gen SG Voy Soundwave x6
Tra Gen SG Voy Blaster x6
Tra Gen SG Ldr Ultra Magnus x2
If you want an idea of the deco for Soundwave and Blaster, check out the original release below.

There is a rumored Laser Optimus Prime so it's equally likely he could use that mold too.

Possibly, but I'm going to stick with what's on the printed page.

If this is any indication that the subline is doing well (the first comic issue was phenomenal), let’s hope we start seeing more and more non-mainstream characters getting the ol’ universe flip. I would love to see a SG Shockwave, the other Seekers, etc

They are not equally likely.
Shaterred Glass magnus with his Siege body already appeared in the Shaterred glass comic made to accompany these new toys.
So the odds skew in one's favour.

I don't disagree, but to play Devil's advocate, there does remain the possibility that, between Blurr's story and a later one, SG Magnus could be involved in some kind of incident that sees his Siege/Kingdom body damaged and rebuilt into his Laser one, just in time for his toy release.william-james88 wrote:Decepticon Stryker wrote:sol magnus wrote:Magnus is definitely going to be a Siege/Kingdom repaint (as he appears in issue#1).

Plus, looking just at the logistics of everything, using a mold they are currently done with is a hell of a lot easier than one they still need to use for the main intended release that already has a second use planned.

That's what I think.
I have no attachment to SG Magnus as a Laser Optimus repaint. None. Laser Optimus and Black Convoy, though, are a different story. The reason SG Ultra Magnus was a repaint of Laser Optimus back then is because that's what the then recent Optimus was. Just like Blurr is nothing like his 'old' SG self, Magnus doesn't need to be his old SG self. I would prefer that he isn't, personally. None of the SG figures released with WFC molds are, yet we're battling against logic for Ultra Magnus to be and he's been 'seen', even if only in shadow to this point in the comic. We all know whatever IDW is doing with this is coordinated heavily with whatever Hasbro is doing. We know Hasbro / Takara needs to get the most mileage out of these molds. If SG UM is the Kingdom version of the mold, that will be the second use of that mold which hasn't been repainted for any reason as yet.
Seems like a lay up to me. :/

Not to mention that mold's Hasbro-pretooled skull head that had yet to be used for anything at the time.sol magnus wrote:The reason SG Ultra Magnus was a repaint of Laser Optimus back then is because that's what the then recent Optimus was.

Pretty much the same email they sent on Transmutate. Same thing happened on the order and Pulse Listing, no changes for a couple days until they actually started shipping. My guess is they ship out Friday/Saturday.

One of the credible leakers (the one that first leaked the line this thread is about, actually) said there's a rumored 4 pack for next year of Goldbug, Ransack (which Ransack was unspecified, people are assuming G1 Ransack from Kickback's mold), Toy Colors Scorponok, and a white Waspinator repaint (presumably the Botcon Waruder repaint), but it doesn't have a listing that's been found yet and they have no idea how/where it's releasing.

He didn't, in fact some Japanese fans have him in. More than likely it's shipping being affected all over the world, and they're taking longer than expected to work off the backlog of stranded container ships.

No, Goldbug did skip the line. He was revealed 4th and had an orignial ship date of December 1st along with Starscream who was revealed 3rd. Megs was second, due November 1st.
This is kind of like the Earthrise Galactic Odyssey sets last year that shipped out of order of the original plans. I do suspect the shipping backlogs could be a part of the problem. Goldbug, or rather his container ship, might have just gotten lucky and been offloaded while the others are still stuck waiting.

I can only hope that if this is true it means the more obvious repaint, Buzzsaw, will get a Selects or Amazon release with his correct "bot" head.

I have him next to some Studio Series Autobots at the moment, the beginnings of a "Multiverse" shelf for characters outside of the Generation 1 continuity, which will of course be fleshed out more once my other Shattered Glass toys come through and Legacy starts.

Not in the order forms yet. So far, 2022 is all G1/diaclone stuff

If Goldbug ships this weekend, then fans will have issue 4 in hand before issue 3 is released in 2 weeks.

Maybe not in the order forms, but JTPrime confirmed BW Buzzsaw and Sandstorm in our Selects thread shortly after the order form listings leaked, and another leaker agreed on a different site when this whole 4-pack situation was brought up.william-james88 wrote:Autobot N wrote:Pretty sure it was said that Buzzsaw was coming in SelectsEmerje wrote:Nemesis Primal wrote:One of the credible leakers (the one that first leaked the line this thread is about, actually) said there's a rumored 4 pack for next year of Goldbug, Ransack (which Ransack was unspecified, people are assuming G1 Ransack from Kickback's mold), Toy Colors Scorponok, and a white Waspinator repaint (presumably the Botcon Waruder repaint), but it doesn't have a listing that's been found yet and they have no idea how/where it's releasing.

Wait, where'd you order Megatron from? I though Pulse pushed him back to November?Munkky wrote:Megatron arrived last week, and I like him a lot. The extra parts they've added really build upon the mould in a good way, and while his aircraft mode does look a bit doofy, it's good that he's unofficially a Triple-Changer and you can still convert him into the original version's tank mode.

Interesting that the different branches of Pulse are having different dates for these. Out of curiosity, when was your Starscream supposed to release? Pulse US always said December.Munkky wrote:Nemesis Primal wrote: Wait, where'd you order Megatron from? I though Pulse pushed him back to November?

At this rate, it's 50/50, depending on the status of VW's license.

It was originally November for both Megatron and Starscream. While Starscream was pushed back, they must've got Megatron in earlier than planned. I've been getting a few e-mails from Pulse saying my pre-orders are shipping out earlier because they've managed to get the stock ahead of the original date, this is the case for the Kingdom Waspinator and Studio Series Jolt I have on pre-order too, they're supposedly coming as early as next week.

I got a shipping notice from Pulse on Goldbug. Pulse has always used Fedex in the past for anything I've ordered, and my order says they shipped it Fedex, but the tracking number is clearly a UPS number (with a Z for the second digit). The link for the tracking number leads to Fedex's site and comes up as invalid.
I went to UPS's site and the tracking number works, it should be here Sunday, with label created as the current status.

Fellow Seibertron users, Chuckdawg1999, and Thundertron have done video reviews for this figure, and fellow Seibertron user, D-Maximal_Primal, has furnished us with pictures of this evil Autobot!
Chuckdawg1999's video review
This is what Chuckdawg1999 had to say about this figure:
chuckdawg1999 wrote:For the sixth use of the mold, Goldbug feels like a first or second release. Other than that how desirable the figure is to you depends on how you feel about the Shattered Glass concept and if you like how the figure looks. Transformation is the same, articulation is the same, the accessories are the same, everything is the same as we saw before. By this point, everything just feels flat, but your experience might be different.
Thundertron's Video Review
Here's what Thundertron had to say about it:

Courtesy of D-Maximal_Primal, we have these fantastic images of the figure! These pictures were shared on D-Maximal_Primal's twitter account and feature the Target Exclusive Origins Bumblebee and the World's Collide Bumblebee.
