---------------
Transformers & the Character(s) shown belong to Hasbro/Takara, I just made up the fan design(s).
Note: Shattered Glass is the transformers version of the classic Sci Fi mirror-verse trope, where the Decepticons are the good guys fighting against the evil Autobots.

Yeah it's based on that prototype.

I remember getting the LEGENDS figure of her, before the prices on eBay got too absurd. Even though she was essentially a retool and recolor of Windblade, she still looked pretty awesome!
I like how it looks like you've incorporated the "seeker box head" design and spruced it up to your own style.

Aww lucky you! I'm jealous, That looks like a really cool retool!
Thanks to the stupidly high inflated ebay prices I've kinda given up ever getting it XD
I've settled on the cyberverse deluxe version of her despite the lack of knee joints (I might replace it if they do a version of her in Earthrise or selects...)
Thanks!

One figure I am STILL looking for is an accurate and good Hot Rod/Rodimus figure that isn't a MASTERPIECE figure, one that isn't sacrificed do to some gimmick that doesn't make sense (Titan/Headmasters) or just make the figure worse (Power of the Primes)
Yeah, Slipstream was pretty cool, although the entire back of her head is clear plastic (despite the eyes are painted over and thus gutting the light piping); just painted that over with some black paint.

Yeah Roddy's been kinda cheated in the more recent toy lines...
I think flame toys is doing an IDW style rodimus model kit, if that fits your needs (at least I hope it's a model kit and not those stupidly expensive really high end non-transforming figures).
A lot of figures seem to do that they have light piping suitable heads but just paint over the eyes or use non transparent plastic. It always seems to be a baffling choice!

Really? I know they did 3rd party transforming figure that was a dead ringer for MTMTE Rodimus, but the directions were hard to decipher, and the thing creaked so much I thought that was close to breaking it a couple of times...
Speaking of Slipstream, was there a story behind her changing color schemes?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Was it the SXS *not* IDW rodimus?
I've got that figure too. I've never transformed it for the same reasons, squeaky joints and spagetti engineering made me worried I'd break it (doesn't help I can be quite heavy handed with my figures) so I just keep it in bot mode.
Not really, just me not being able to settle on a look for her! If you go back through my gallery theres a fair number of abandoned designs/colour schemes for the shattered glass characters.
Edit:
Here I found the anouncement for the flame toys figure, just don't read the comments they're a mess:

Yeah, I transformed it twice, and was like "that's it, you're staying robot mode". And to make matters worse, he can't hold his gun with a firm grip.
Ah, I see. So it's not like how Rodimus once donned a black and blue and purple paint job to symbolize his grief for Skids and his intention to kill Getaway. Don't mean to force the idea, but that's always an option.
Hhhheeeyyyy, that looks pretty good; and that Windblade figure, too! I may get those two kits when they are made available.

Haha! Yeah mine is displayed with the 'Darth maul' type dual swords, as the only way to get it to firmly hold anything is to use both hands.
That's an idea 😁 I might steal it!
I've only built the star scream and shattered glass op model kits but in my experience they're fairly solid figures
I have a soft spot for Windblade figures so I'm planning to get that kit (assuming it comes out here) XD It looks decent but if I do get it I'm going to do some custom work on it to give it wings as I don't think she looks right without them.

I hope to see some kind of special relathionship between her and Starscream.

LG16, it's just her registration number

Jets have registration numbers painted on them

I like the slight more muscled build she has compared to Starscream’s more lean build. It’s been a cool trend to see less attractive model like bodies in favor of more muscular ones like Potp Elita 1 or Shatter from Bumblebee.
Cool colors and fighter jet mode for Slipstream as well.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks!
Yeah I like the potp Elita mould, it suits an IDW2005-eske take on the character. (It's a shame the combined mode can't really support it's own weight, the hip joints are too weak on mine)
Thanks! I was trying to make sure she was different from Airachnid but non-blue colours didn't suit her.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, I didn’t get the Potp Elita 1 for the Orthia Combiner necessarily, because I like her as is and I have an all girl combiner with Victorion.
And your Elita’s are too?
Even if they had the same blue, Airachnid’s dominant color is white, so I feel they’re colors would be distinct.
The blue you chose looks great on Slipstream
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah I just like her for the robot mode, the combined mode was just a bonus for me.
Yep. The ratchet joints in her robot mode arms/combined mode hips can't support her weight, she just flops over the moment I try to attach an arm to the combiner.
I guess if yours has the same issue it's a problem with the mould, I don't know if the Starscream combiner she was remoulded out of had the same issue.
Thanks!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hmm, perhaps I should use some o my other Combiner jointed figures to make a Kinda Orthia to see how my Elita holds up as a combined torso.
You’re welcome!

Good luck, hopefully your's is better put together than mine!

I’ll update you when I get around to it ^^

Ah, I had a feeling her altmode was based on some type of Sukhoi jet! I see you changed her colours from the previous pink/white I remembered a while ago.
Can't wait to see her eventually in your comic
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, I don't think the pink fits with the personality I have in mind for her now
Thanks!
