Deep.

This side of Thundercracker is getting more and more attention lately, wonder if Furman will run with it at all in the IDW run.

Thundercracker and Skywarp have always kicked ass, but whenever they're shown they're never given much personality beyond "goon". Good to see at least one of them given quite a bit more.

That is pretty deep. I'm glad this side of Thundercracker has been touched upon.

Wow. Its about time this sort of stuff was explored, the mosaics are fantastic.

And is it just me, or are the Decepticon Mosaics infinately better written than the Autobot ones?

As always, bad guys are more interesting to write about. Good to see that someone other than me remembered this part of Thundercracker's bio.

This was a good story, but it kinda gayed him up.

Its as 'matcho' as you are gonna get for a seeker.

I think it's too much, actually.

I know I wrote a little while ago in some thread that Thundercracker is more interesting BECAUSE he's an uncertain quantity, but this is sort of a sudden turnaround, I think. Why has he suddenly got all this motivation for thought and change?

On the inside of the glass, Skywarp's probably thinking "what a wuss".

'Matcho' - is that a brand of matches? I think that the spelling is 'macho'.

Okay, I've got one question; where did the idea that Thundercracker has doubts about his role as a Decepticon start? I really like the idea, I'm just wondering where it started. This piece was really well done.

It came from his original toys tech specs. The last line of the bio is: "Doubts about his cause sometimes impede his effectiveness."

As for the mosaic itself; very nice. Thundercrackers doubts seem very believable. I could imagine myself having that same conversation if I were in his shoes. Tje cell shaded CG is very nice and works well.

it comes from his bio.he is like the decepticon equivalent of mirage as needlenose is their version of jazz
Re: TRANSFORMERS MOSAIC: "How Much Longer?" (view post)
Comment by Bass X0 Oct 11, 2007
Not really. Mirage is an Autobot through and through - he just wishes to return to the good life he had back on Cybertron.

ARE YOU SAYING THUNDERCRACKER IS GAY NOW? cos thats what im getting from this...sure its good to have feelings and all but it seems a lil out of place...reminds me of skybite from RID...but he was funny.

Comment by Ultra Magnus Oct 11, 2007
We all know the seekers have got to be "Brothers" of some kind. They don't just go to a parts store on Cybertron and say "Hey, I wanna look just like him!" I've wanted to do a story on this for some time...

Glad to see everyone enjoys seeing more of Thundercracker. He's a popular Mosaic topic, and you're going to see even more of him!

I liked it, even if it was a little bit 'too much'!
