Still plagued by self-confidence issues however, Ultra Magnus did not believe he could lead the Autobots as himself, instead conspiring to steal Optimus's body. Shattered Glass II #5 After being repaired, Optimus was brought to Metroplex, Shattered Glass II #4 where his spark was extracted and placed in Magnus's body. Having his leg cut off and his voice box disabled, Optimus was left to impotently scream, a state in which he was found by Soundwave and Slicer. Shattered Glass II #5 Evil Former Friend: Megatron and Orion Pax/Optimus Prime. They used to fight for equality together, but Orion's own desire for power eventually caused him to betray Megatron and undermine the entire Decepticon-cause. The title is similar to the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode " Shattered Mirror" and Marvel's Star Trek comic " Fragile Glass", both stories about the Mirror Universe from the Star Trek franchise mentioned above.

We Used to Be Friends: Optimus and Megatron, Windblade and Starscream, Bulkhead and Breakdown, the list goes on. Megatron's explanation as to why his faction are calling themselves Decepticons in an ask is word for word the same as his original series counterpart's answer of the same question to an amnesiac Orion Pax in "Orion Pax, Part 1". Only this time it's completely sincere and true. After the assassination of Megatron, (of which Optimus learned about second-hand from Around Cybertron) Around Cybertron #6 Hound and Remote Patrol Six made their move, surrounding Optimus Prime and Ricochet as they discussed Megatron's death, intending to kill Optimus and install Rodimus in his place as Prime. Hound's rally cries failed to impress Optimus, and the Autobot leader proceeded to use Ricochet as a living shield against a blast from Warpath's chest-mounted cannon, before crushing Kup's head with his bare hands, destroying Warpath's chest cannon, taking out Hound by flinging Warpath into him, and cannon-blasting Camshaft in the head.Like most Deluxe Class figures, Swindle was available with a comic book in the U.S., Australia, New Zealand, and Asia (left), and with a character card in Canada and Latin America (center) as well as Europe (right).

The weapon designs are intricately detailed, featuring a metallic silver Ion Blaster and an Energon Axe with fluorescent green blade edges. Additionally, the set includes the “Matrix of Leadership” which can be inserted into MDLX Shattered Glass Optimus Prime’s chest. Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: Despite Flareup's defection to the Decepticons and renaming as Flamewar, primarily to save herself from aiding Ultra Magnus's failed coup attempt, Slipstream prefers to keep her at a distance.

You Are Number 6: Lower caste Cybertronians and drones are forbidden from having a name under the caste system. Instead, they're identified by a string of numbers and letters. The Decepticons actively defy this by choosing names for themselves to replace their original numbers. The Autodrones start to defy it as well as the comic goes on, but aren't as open about it.

At some point during the Great War, the loss of a close friend left Ratchet traumatized. Shattered Glass #1 Before he was known as Optimus Prime, he is sometimes an archivist known as Optronix, and other times a Senator called Orion Pax. Infodump: Volume 1 has regular exposition speeches by the Cybertronian characters, though to be fair, it's the volume that has to set everything up and convey to the viewers what the characters are all about. Volume 2 and 3 get better with this, keeping the exposition more organic by having it conveyed through conversations.
