 Plot details for Shattered Glass issue 1 follow. |
At some point following the war, a team of Bodyscrappers including Brainstorm, Chromedome, Fortress Maximus, Highbrow, and Hardhead subdued Reflector. They were soon joined by Blurr, a former scout.
In the present day, Blurr was hired to hunt down Sixshot, a Decepticon straggler taking refuge in Prowl's territory. He fought off a rival team of bounty hunters before executing the Decepticon. While he brought the dismembered remains to Ratchet in Gold City, Hardhead and Chromedome took on Goldbug's contract to kill Starscream. They managed to weaken the Decepticon lieutenant, and came close to capturing him, but were denied their bounty by Blurr's last-second intervention. Blurr's brief alliance with Starscream proved to be more than a match for the two, and they were left incapacitated.
In the Static Zone, Blurr planned to gain Starscream's trust, before leading him to the volcano range of Chrome Ridge, where his quarry would be vulnerable. However, Starscream struck first, and used Blurr's own hubris to kill the Bodyscrapper. Shattered Glass #1
Notes
- The Bodyscrappers are recolored versions of figures released in the Retro Headmasters subline. According to colorist John-Paul Bove, most of the colors are original, and not meant to reference counterparts from the positive universe.[1]
- The squad of bounty hunters seen competing with Blurr on the Sixshot bounty, seen in silhouette, is ostensibly composed of Kup, Springer, Ultra Magnus, and Roadbuster. Assuming these characters are also considered Bodyscrappers, the group as a whole likely serves as this universe's counterpart to the Wreckers.
- ↑ John Paul Bove on Twitter, August 20th, 2021: "I did colour this, but their colours are not based on any other character they are just schemes I liked."
