presumably Bove did this entirely independently but it's still a striking commonality that I figured was interesting enough to note, especially considering the comic shows up highly in google searches for "shattered glass sixshot"

This article is about the heroic Decepticon. For his evil counterpart, see Sixshot (G1). For a list of other meanings, see Sixshot (disambiguation).
Sixshot is a heroic Decepticon from the IDW portion of the Shattered Glass continuity family.
Yeah, that's me. I bet you're wondering how I ended up in this situation.

Sixshot is a redshirt.

Fiction

IDW Shattered Glass comic

Whether it be by any specific action he had taken or just by daring to be a stinking 'Con still kicking around, Sixshot found himself on the receiving end of a bodyscrapper bounty. Hunted by multiple scrappers, he managed to evade them all the way into the territory of Prowl, until tragically running out of luck as he was brutally taken offline by Blurr. His dismembered corpse was then dragged by the hunter back to Ratchet in Gold City. Shattered Glass #1

Notes

  • Shattered Glass Sixshot is physically based on Titans Return Leader Class Sixshot but with colors from the opposite side of the color wheel.[1] Colorist John-Paul Bove originally intended to use his regular colors, so people could repurpose their existing toy.[2]
  • Of course, it figures that the Decepticon known in other continuities for being an unstoppable warrior would be quickly killed off in a mirror universe.
