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] Bizarrely, colorist John-Paul Bove had originally intended to use his regular colors, so people could repurpose their existing toy.[2] We're not sure he really understood the point of Shattered Glass. Bove wasn't actually the first to invert Sixshot's color scheme like this; a fancomic from almost ten years prior had arrived at exactly the same color scheme using the same approach![3]
- 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.
