	==Synopsis==		==Synopsis==
	For eons, the [[Autobot]]s and [[Decepticon]]s have battled for supremacy, a struggle that took them from [[Cybertron (planet)\|Cybertron]] to [[Earth]] and back before the Autobots finally triumphed. In ''this'' universe, however, the Autobot are the villains: ruthless, freedom-hating autocrats, the tyrannical [[Optimus Prime (SG)\|Optimus Prime]] and his minions have conquered Cybertron and nearly crushed the heroic [[Decepticon]] freedom fighters under their heel. Their takeover has not been smooth, however, as Prime's followers [[Goldbug (SG)\|Goldbug]] and [[Prowl (SG)\|Prowl]] have rebelled against their leader and seized territories and soldiers of their own. Amidst these three-way turf wars and border skirmishes, the task of mopping up the Decepticons falls to the [[bodyscrapper]]s: elite bounty hunters who track down, round up, and junk Decepticon fugitives. And among the bodyscrappers, there are few as efficient or cruel as [[Blurr (SG)\|Blurr]]—an adrenaline junkie forever chasing his next high, he delights in going after dangerous Decepticons and other ~~and~~ high-risk targets, playing with his prey before finally going in for the kill. But as Blurr drives through the deadly [[Static Zone]], passing the volcanic [[Chrome Ridge]] with [[Sixshot (SG)\|Sixshot]]'s dismembered corpse hitched to his bumper, Blurr muses that the trade's grown dull: the remaining Decepticons are too weak to put up an entertaining fight and their numbers are dwindling.

	Blurr returns to [[Kaon (polity)\|Gold City]], pushes his way through the squalid slums, and triumphantly delivers his latest catch to [[Ratchet (SG)\|Ratchet]]. As part of his ongoing quest to engineer a better breed of 'bot, the mad doctor endlessly experiments on the poor and downtrodden inhabitants of Gold City using the spare parts Blurr brings in from his victims. As Ratchet's latest experiment writhes in pain, Blurr describes his latest adventure: though the trail took him all the way into Prowl's territory and into the path of a rival scrapper gang, Blurr easily escaped with his kill. It's not like he was in any ''real'' danger, he sighs; after all, he can outrun ''anyone''. Despite his ennui, Ratchet piques Blurr's interest with news of Goldbug's latest bounty. The ruler of Gold City has reached out to ''every'' scrapper under his command to bring in a certain high-value target alive; as Blurr snatches a homing beacon from Ratchet and races out the door, he has just barely enough time to learn ''who'' he's hunting: [[Megatron (SG)\|Megatron]]'s loyal lieutenant, [[Starscream (SG)\|Starscream]]!

The unlikely allies work together to take out their mutual enemies, but this is no sudden show of altruism on Blurr's part. If he activates the beacon ''now'' and calls down Goldbug and Ratchet, Starscream will immediately realize the game and escape. The only way he can deliver Starscream to his employer is by convincing the Decepticon to walk right into Goldbug's arms... and if he can do ''that'', then he'll surely go down in history as the greatest bounty hunter on Cybertron.

	* ''Shattered Glass'' was originally created by [[Fun Publications]] in [[2008]] as the theme for that year's [[BotCon]] convention. Subsequent comics and prose stories fleshed out this universe, and it soon became one of, if not ''the'', most popular things Fun Publications ever contributed to the overarching ''Transformers'' brand. Likely in response to this popularity, ''Shattered Glass'' repeatedly crossed over with other Fun Publications universes and became a key setting within Fun Publications' complex [[multiverse]] meta-lore all the way up until the company lost the ''Transformers'' license in late [[2016]]. In comparison, IDW's take on ''Shattered Glass'' is a simpler, back-to-basics reboot unconnected to Fun Publications' stories—indeed, the comic does its own thing by eschewing the usual Autobot-Decepticon conflict in favor of a post-war setting not unlike IDW's own "[[2005 IDW continuity#James Roberts, John Barber, and "Phase Two"\|Phase Two]]" era, and as is the way of ''Transformers'' reboots and re-imaginings, the comic picks and chooses characters and concepts at will. Details between these continuities differ: for instance, Starscream speaks about his "[[spark]]" when the original Fun Publications stories established that mirror-universe Cybertronians possessed negatively-charged "embers" instead.		* ''Shattered Glass'' was originally created by [[Fun Publications]] in [[2008]] as the theme for that year's [[BotCon]] convention.

	* The Static Zone is occupied by a motionless [[Titan (group)\|Titan]], partially sunken into the ground—an apparent riff on [[Transformers (2019 comic)\|IDW's ''Transformers'']] ongoing, which features a number of "[[immersant]]" Titans as a regular feature of Cybertron's geography. This particular Titan is colored to resemble the Decepticon [[Metrotitan (G1)\|Metrotitan]]; given that this is ''Shattered Glass'', however, it's likely that this is (was?) actually an evil Metroplex.		* The Static Zone is occupied by a motionless [[Titan (group)\|Titan]], partially sunken into the ground—an apparent riff on [[Transformers (2019 comic)\|IDW's ''Transformers'']] ongoing, which features a number of "[[immersant]]" Titans as a regular feature of Cybertron's geography.

	* The silhouetted 'bots trying to gank Blurr's kill on page three appear to be mirror-universe versions of the [[Wreckers]]. The largest 'bot is clearly Ultra Magnus, sporting his unmistakable head antennae and shoulder pads; to his left is a smaller Autobot with a two-ridged head—presumably Kup, who's been a Wrecker in multiple IDW continuities. The sword-wielding 'bot with a three-ridged head is likely Springer, and the bruiser to his right is probably Roadbuster, using a version of ''[[The Transformers: Sins of the Wreckers\|Sins of the Wreckers]]'' body. If that's the case, then his shoulder weapons are on the wrong side... but then, this is a mirror universe!		* The silhouetted 'bots trying to gank Blurr's kill on page three appear to be mirror-universe versions of the [[Wreckers]].

	* The lethal no-man's-land known as the "Static Zone" has some precedent in Fun Publication's ''Shattered Glass'' prose stories, where it was known as the "[[Rad Zone]]" (which was itself lifted from the [[The Transformers (Marvel comic)\|Marvel comic]]s), and encompassed a sizeable portion of the planet.		* The lethal no-man's-land known as the "Static Zone" has some precedent in Fun Publication's ''Shattered Glass'' prose stories, where it was known as the "[[Rad Zone]]" (which was itself lifted from the [[The Transformers (Marvel comic)\|Marvel comic]]s), and encompassed a sizeable portion of the planet.
	* Optimus Prime's city of "Pax" features a massive dome-structure, much like the [[Great Dome]] in the city of [[Iacon (polity)\|Iacon]]. The comic doesn't explicitly lay this out, but given the setting and timeframe, it's likely that "Pax" ''is'' Iacon, having been conquered and renamed in honor of the evil Autobot leader's original identity.		* Optimus Prime's city of "Pax" features a massive dome-structure, much like the [[Great Dome]] in the city of [[Iacon (polity)\|Iacon]].
