Transformers Mosaic: "Brotherhood Lost"

opus is soundwave.
pretty interesting soundwave origin story,aswell as explaining why magnus is always a prime recolor.

I'm not really digging the story idea on this one. For me, Magnus and Prime being brothers is pretty weak, but that thing about Soundwave is just pushing it too far.

In the last panel, is Laserbeak blowing up?

Creative idea but it was too much of a stretch for me to believe.

Next, on Jerry Springer...

I don't want to sound harsh or anything, but that's the single worst piece of shit ever commited to a visual medium.

Did it ever occur to you that they weren't trying to fit it into any particular canon? And exploring other fictional possibilities would make them trolls? Wow.

Then maybe you should have kept quiet. Nobody charges you a dime to read these. If it's not to your taste, then the "back" button on your browser can make everything right again-- without you having to shit all over someone who didn't do anything to offend you personally.

Nobody expects everyone to love every Mosaic produced, but there's no bloody reason to respond like an arsehole just because you didn't like it.

Wow, there's some pretty unnecessary vitriol here. It's not like these creators killed your first-born child or anything. The great thing about these Mosaics is that the creators aren't tied to what anyone may or may not consider canon.

Who is Opus? Never heard of the guy... Didn't see that one coming though... Thought maybe Diaclone Powered Convoy would be tied into the storyline, that would have been cool

Art's horrid, and the story is awful.

The art seems to be a hybrid of Pat Lee's "style" and something a 5 year old can do. Opus looks to much like a blue Prime with a lot of hip. The different colours of the dialouge is a good idea, but it gets in ther way of the panels, and with brighter colours than the panels themselves, attract more attention to thjemselves rather than the panels, which should be able to tell the story through the art.

The idea of Soundwave being Prime's brothers is shaky. Personal Canon it may be, but it's very unlikely, as there's no root or even a slight hint within the show to render it as a possible relationship.

So to be honest, this may not be the way I'd tell the story, but I like the idea of SoundWave having nobler roots. Maybe even just using the Decepticons as an ends to some unknown means as is often hinted.

i agree with this,
it was good to see soundwave caring for the 'minibots'

but consider the reverse, soundwave/opus is evil from the start and 'infiltrates' the autobots capturing and converting these minibots to cassettacons

i also think its totaly unnecessary for people to bash this piece so much, im sure constuctive criticism would be far more appreciated

that said opus is a stupid name
