It's almost a certainty that Hasbro will continue using it for easy money alternatives, particularly where there's no obvious other retool or redeco potential such as Wheeljack into a Slicer homage.

These days they're rushing out Selects so quickly the redeco itself basically is the leak.

Could Hasbro have the new publisher continue the same shattered glass comic story also?

They've got the rights, so the simple answer is yes. Whether a new publisher would see any mileage in the concept and creating general retail comics about it is another thing. IDW Shattered Glass probably owes more to Hasbro wanting something to coincide with some toys and IDW not having a creative direction at this point. Their main universe ended and I assume their reboot universe has or is about to.

Denyer what are the chances of there being a new Galvatron shattered glass toy?

Being basically one of the G1 colour schemes but applied to a different alt mode, he's painted into a corner a bit. Offhand can't think of any recent voyager class helicopter TF moulds similar to Evac that might get reused... there's Earthspark Megatron, but that's heavily stylised. My guess is only if there's either a) a new Evac, or b) they do a Legacy style Animated Megatron in the way they've done Bulkhead, Prowl, etc.

Visually you could get the Legacy Galvatron (or the TR/Legends one) and some SG red Decepticon logo Reprolabels/Toyhax stickers.

I did not mean one with a helicopter mode.
Could a Galvatron with the matrix be made the prime of Shattered glass and could we have Nova prime and Rodimus Prime that have changed for good the last one being the opposite of Rodimus Unicronus Denyer?

I think the best way to get a bigger cast of Shattered Glass figures is probably to start customising. If you're not into painting then there are some label sets other people have created (and they've started doing parts too);

Why was the Shattered Glass Galvatron a redeco of Evac?

Why not recolour the Galvatron universe toy or something?

Why would it need to have a helicopter like the first one was, Denyer?
Why not have the Generations selects Galvatron with different colours?
Would you please say?

Hasbro can do (and does) whatever it feels like and thinks might sell.

Most likely explanation is someone official did/saw a sketch or digibash and liked it.
