Transformers

Double Shattered Glass Konvoy is an homage to Shattered Glass Optimus Prime done on an unlicensed near-reproduction of the same mold.

Other third party Transformers done as an homage to Shattered Glass Optimus Prime include iGear's PP01E Evil Leader and Mastermind Creations Knight Morpher Commander KM-01X.

Fictional biography

During Cybertron's Golden Age of peace, an elite few served as the guardians of Cybertron's accumulated knowledge. Among these data clerks was Optronix. A low-level operator who sought to replace those above him, Optronix turned his research skills to finding methods of manipulation. Eventually, he rose to prominence; however, when his activities were uncovered, he was removed from service and left purposeless. Deep in his Ember though, Optronix believed he was best fit to lead Cybertron. He hungered for power and through his studies, he determined that military might was the only way to achieve his goals. Preaching a philosophy of destruction and conquest, he eventually began re-engineering his body as well as taking on a new name: Optimus Prime. He then began refashioning the bodies of his followers into weapons as well. Armed with weapons and a uniting philosophy, he declared his warriors autonomous from the rest of Cybertron and thus named them the Autobots!

Toys

  • KOLD LE-09 Voyager Double Shattered Glass Konvoy (2011)
A recolor based on the Classic Optimus Prime mold meant to look like the 2008 Timelines Optimus Prime toy. Two small changes in the art include a second broken window and the words "NOT FOR SALE" on the bumper. The package features a word-for-word retelling of the Shattered Glass Optimus Prime biography from his Tech Spec card, even calling the character Optimus Prime, despite being called Double Shattered Glass Konvoy elsewhere on the box.
Because this toy is a near reproduction of the 2008 Timelines Optimus Prime toy, third party accessories meant for that toy also work for it, like the BTS Nemesis Motion Base and the Perfect Effect TAW-01GS God Sword.
Like all KOLD toys based on the Classic Voyager Optimus Prime toy there is a flaw in the windvane gun placing one mounting holes in the wrong place.
  • KOLD LE-09 Voyager Unshattered Glass Konvoy Blue (2011)
A variant of the Double Shattered Glass toy, with Decepticon logos and painted details like the Henkei Convoy in blue paint. Packaged in the same box as the Double Shattered Glass toy.
  • KOLD LE-09 Voyager Unshattered Glass Konvoy Silver (2011)
A variant of the Double Shattered Glass toy, with Decepticon logos and painted details like the Henkei Convoy in silver paint. According to the designer of this toy it was originally supposed have Autobot symbols, but the final product had Decepticon symbols like the blue variant. Packaged in the same box as the Double Shattered Glass toy. [1]
