Bounty Hunter: The bodyscrappers are these.Megatron and the Decepticons regain the strength to fight back, depose Goldbug, and take over his city, marking a new age in Cybertronian history and giving the planet something it hasn't had in a long time: Hope. However, it's not a complete Downer Ending. What's worse, Optimus and Prowl are soon to get involved as they want the power to control a Titan too. Bittersweet Ending: The mini-series ends with Starscream dead with his spark ripped out by Goldbug to re-awaken Metroplex.Starscream can only see eye to eye with him when the former is sitting. Big Guy, Little Guy: Jetfire and Starscream.Big Bad: Of course Optimus Prime, but also Goldbug and Prowl who managed to become warlords of their own.Badass Bookworm: Starscream is a scholar by trade, but can still kick major ass.
Jetfire gains a much more significant role in this continuity, complete with a toy, while he was a very minor Autobot agent in the Fun Publication stories.
Ascended Extra: The character roster is shuffled around compared to the original Shattered Glass continuity. He looks down on most other Transformers and laments the fact that the only Decepticons left to hunt are wimps. Arrogant Kung-Fu Guy: Blurr is portrayed as being supremely confident in his skill and super-speed. In Issue #2, the Autobots attacked Earth and laid waste on the planet, leaving it in ruins. Apocalypse How: Implied to be Class 6. Befitting a character normally portrayed as a One-Man Army, Shattered Glass Sixshot is easily killed. Adaptational Wimp: In the first issue, Blurr is shown delivering Sixshot's dismembered corpse to Ratchet. Here, he never defected (as evidenced by the fact that his Autobot insignia is not slashed over by a scar), and dies an Autobot as one of the many casualties. Adaptational Villainy: In the original stories, Sideswipe defected to the Decepticons after the Autobots' failed attempt to execute him. Blurr's a Blood Knight but is also much more of a troll this time around. Though still a Mad Doctor, Ratchet is less whimsical and more serious/business-like. While Starscream is still loyal, he's also a narcissist. While most characters share the fundamentals with their Fun Pub counterparts, their personalities are tweaked: Adaptational Personality Change: The comic borrows a number of ideas from the original Fun Publication stories but comes up with its own narrative and characterization. The IDW version of Shattered Glass Wheeljack has changed his name to Slicer, a name used by Decepticon Action Master who was the Palette Swap of Wheeljack whose colors were used as basis for his Shattered Glass counterpart. Though he changed his name, upon successfully conquering Cybertron, Optimus Prime dubbed his territory 'Pax'. Meanwhile, as is often the case in Transformers media, IDW's SG Optimus started out as Orion Pax. 
In the original Fun Pub stories, Shattered Glass Optimus's pre-Prime name was Optronix, a name which originated from Dreamwave's Transformers comics. In this continuity, he's still a heroic Decepticon. Adaptational Heroism: In the original stories, Kickback was a traitor to the Decepticons and had joined up with the insane Alpha Trion's schemes. In this world, both of them have successfully taken territory for themselves and are described as warlords in their own right. Adaptational Badass: In Fun Pubs Shattered Glass, Prowl was basically a non-entity, while Goldbug spent much of the latter parts of the series acting as The Starscream to Rodimus Prime, with about as much success.
