Love Megatron's concept and what is Ore-13

This piece ties into IDW continuity, that's where Ore-13 comes from.

It's a super-groovy blend of Energon that the Earthbound Decepticons happened to discover while up to their infiltration shenanigans. Megatron (who doesn't dirty his hands on the front lines), catches wind of Starscream's Infiltration Unit breaking various protocols and comes to earth to find out why. Starscream got a big boo-boo.

Astrotrain is a member of Starscream's team, and this takes place shortly after.

Heh, I'm so wrapped into the comics part of TF land that it often doesn't occur to me that there are actually TF fans that aren't reading these great books.

Love this one. Astrotrain was always a fave of mine, still is, and I love how this plays up his Quest for Power that was only really shown in the God Gambit and Triple Takeover.

I'm also really loving the fact that he just confused a machine that was meant to read minds, and "in confusion there is opportunity" for him. Especially now that he can access some Ore-13.

Go Astrotrain, achieve what Starscream could not.

Hey there everyone, this is Kris (the artist of the piece) and I just wanted to say thank you all for the comments, glad you dug it! :-)

I've been sort of a hermit/lurker for the longest time but I'll probably be starting to post more artwork here (in them forums thar) in the near future and I hope you'll check that out too :-)

I also have 3 more Mosaics on the way, and hopefully I'll get 'em done in the VERY near future!

I want to thank the Mosaic crew (Josh and Shawn) for the opportunity and Martin for the kickass script!

See ya all on the flip side!

What kind of news are you looking for?

Good art! And I loved that Megatron simply called it a "mind machine" instead of a "electromagnetic brain analyser" kinda technobabble. It gives hima sort of depth.
