Starscream asks Megatron to regain leadership, but the latter refuses, feeling guilty of the destruction that Optimus caused on Earth in his search for rare energon. Megatron also remembers the many times Optimus Prime, the Autobots' leader, got him out of jail after several protests, hoping for him to join the Autobots, to no avail. During that time, the two discuss the past events that lead them to found the Decepticons: the satiety they felt after enduring the Autobots' abuse over them, as well as the torture they made on former Senator Shockwave. While traveling to the Sea of Rust, Starscream finds Megatron, but he faints in the process, leading Megatron to take him to his shelter. Starscream then continues his search for Megatron, the Decepticons' fallen leader. After leaving the Gold City to the Static Zone's Chrome Ridge, Starscream manages to trick and injure Blurr enough to let him be surrounded by a volcano's lava. While being chased by Chromedome and Hardhead, Starscream is saved by Blurr, who pretends to help him in order to capture him. After most of the Decepticons are killed, Ratchet hires the bounty hunter Blurr to hunt down Starscream. In a parallel universe, the Autobots are tyrants that drove Cybertron and Earth into ruins.

The series concluded on Decemafter five issues. We always want to give the fans what they want, and when we can give them an awesome comic book series and provide backstory for amazing toys through our partnership with Hasbro…well, what could be better?”

IDW editor Riley Farmer said, “it’s so exciting to be bringing even more Shattered Glass characters to life. Matere also said, "after reading the script, one line helped to guide my art style for this book: a description of the Wreckers in a gangster or mobster scenario, calling for lots of shadows and black silhouettes of the characters, It’s been great experimentation moving my art to this new level." It’s a really refreshing challenge to draw them as their opposite, yet make them convincing and natural in their new roles, for both new readers and older fans." But I can say that I’m having fun with any of the characters at this point. Guidi said, "in the first miniseries, I really loved depicting Blurr as a bad guy and Jetfire’s struggle for Starscream, playing with their facial expressions and their body language, yet keeping their basic traits from their original counterparts. I think fans will really enjoy this latest chapter from this alternate reality." Khanna agreed that "it’s great to return to the Shattered Glass universe where we continue to flesh out this whole new twisted mirror take on the normal Transformers universe. The chance to revisit Shattered Glass, giving you even more of all that, really feels like coming home-a very explosive home with a lot of really tall folk, but home nonetheless!”

Lore said, "it was a world full of passionate revolutionaries, terrifying warlords, and lots of big things going boom.

IDW editor Riley Farmer also said, "Our wonderful partners at Hasbro made a huge splash with their recent announcement of new Megatron and Blurr action figures packaged with our Shattered Glass comics, and we’re proud to bring that story content - and specifically three cover variants exclusively available to the comics retail channels - to the wide audience of monthly comics readers". Creating these Shattered Glass versions of childhood favorites is like building the perfect Combiner for me: what are the nuts and bolts that we can swap out while still making them recognizable?" Lore said, "As a writer, I love exploring characterization, what the core elements are that make someone who and what they are. The series is written by Danny Lore, and was set for release on August 25, 2021. On April 9, 2021, during Hasbro Pulse Fan Fest 2021, IDW Publishing announced a five-issue comic book series based on the Transformers: Shattered Glass brand, with new toys based on Blurr, Megatron, Starscream, Goldbug and Jetfire.
