Shatter

Shatter is a Decepticon from the Bumblebee portion of the live-action film continuity family.

Inspired by the Terminator, but better in every way.

Shatter takes great joy in her work as a hunter. Partnered with Dropkick, she's not so much the "good cop" of the pair as the "not going to kill you yet cop." Unquestionably the brains of the pairing, she's a smooth-talking manipulator who enjoys twisting the knife once she's found their quarry. She tends to let Dropkick do the dirtiest part of their work in the end, but she's a highly-skilled combatant on her own.

Her capabilities as a Triple Changer enable her to go "undercover" as a... okay, as a fairly conspicuous customized muscle car, and when the need for speed and firepower arises, change into a VTOL jet with under-slung artillery cannons.

• Shatter (Titan Changer, 2018)

Part of the first wave of Bumblebee Titan Changers, Shatter is a simple 12-inch-tall figure that transforms into a jet of possibly made-up model in seven steps, but it is definitely not her Harrier jet mode from the movie.

Look at me, I'm in tatters!

• Shatter (Power Plus Series, 2018)
  • Accessories: "Energon Core"

Part of the second wave of "Power Plus" Energon Igniters, Shatter is a retooling of the "Power Series" Dropkick toy, transforming into a muscle car loosely based on the first generation Chevrolet Camaro in four steps. Plugging an "Energon Core" into the back of her car mode flips a pair of huge cannons from her windshield, as well as giving the toy a pull-back-motor action.

I'm-a-going to fly for you!

• Shatter (Power Series, 2018)

Part of the second wave of "Power Series" Energon Igniters, Shatter transforms into a jet that's closer to her film form than the above Titan Changer, but not by a lot. Plugging an Energon Core (not included) into her vehicle-mode back gives it a pull-back-motor action.

• Shatter (Mission Vision, 201?)

Movie Edition

Life's just a cocktail party on the street.

• Shatter (Tiny Turbo Changer, 2018)
  • Series 4
  • Bag Code: P

Released in Series 4 of Tiny Turbo Changers, Shatter is a red redeco of the Series 3 Barricade figure, although her instructions depict her as the original The Last Knight-style Barricade instead. This small soft-plastic figurine transforms to car mode in a single step, two if you consider each arm an individual step.

Studio Series

Don't think of her being Brock Sampson's ride.

• Shatter (Deluxe Class, 2019)
  • Number: 40
  • Japanese ID number: SS-29
  • Japanese release date: April 27, 2019
  • Accessories: 2 arm-mounted blasters, "Decepticon Arrival" backdrop

Studio Series Shatter is a new Deluxe Class mold that transforms into the most screen-accurate version of her 1971 Plymouth GTX mode, complete with rally lights and rollcage. Her robot mode, though, drops the more overt jet-mode kibble the movie model uses, because (as far as standards go) that would be kinda hard to pack in at the Deluxe size. She comes with two "blaster" weapons that can attach to her robot-mode forearms. Her head has her battle mask lowered and ready for combat.

Notes

• Shatter was the first Decepticon revealed for Bumblebee, when a promotional photo of director Travis Knight posing with Shatter's car mode was released. Both the character's name and gender weren't revealed until months later.
