Transformers: Generations: Shattered Glass Deluxe Class Flamewar & Fireglide

The Ghost of Fun Pub still haunts us. Each Shattered Glass toy came with an exclusive comic giving them an excuse to overcharge for these toys. All were $9-$12 over retail for a $5 comic. These should have just been done as Selects without the comics for retail price, or better yet, not at all.

Fireglide

Previous Mold Use: Siege Battle Master Pteraxadon, Siege Battle Master Terror-Daxtyl, Netflix War for Cybertron Trilogy Battle Master Enerax, Golden Disk Collection Battle Master Sights

The first couple of versions of this mold had paint apps, and now it’s just plastic. This is just sad.

Flamewar

Previous Mold Use: Legacy Deluxe Class Arcee, Velocitron Speedia 500 Collection Deluxe Class Road Rocket

Flamewar is one of the best Transformers names ever, especially if you remember the good old days of alt.toys.transformers on Usenet. As to the toy, she looks great. Her paintjob is excellent, they truly put a lot of effort into this one. Pity they can’t do that more often.

Overall: I am tempted to recommend her for the great paintjob, but it’s still Shattered Glass, so its for completists only.

Thanks for reading!

I’m 36 years old, and I work in network tech support for a public school system. I am a huge fan of Star Trek, Transformers, Harry Potter, and Marvel Comics as well as numerous other fandoms. I’m a big sports fan, especially the Boston Red Sox and the New England Patriots. I collect toys (mostly Transformers but other stuff too), comic books, and Red Sox baseball cards. I watch an obscene amount of television and love going to the movies. I am hopelessly addicted to Wizard Rock and I write Harry Potter Fanfiction, though these days I am working on a couple of different original YA novels.
