The Universe of the Transformers is vast, and populated by many characters. Their universe is a large tapestry, made up of the stories and points of view of countless experiences that serve the larger whole.

These are some of those stories. This is:

AstroTrain's been playing alot of different hands lately, wonder if it'll lead to something good?

Is it just me or does Astrotrain look like Armada Smokescreen?

Now that you mention it, he kinda does.

I find it interesting how the interpretation of certain characters differ from person to person. We've already seen one Mosaic("Trained") showcasing Astrotrain's more devious thoughts, much like how he was at times in the cartoon, yet in this piece he is very subserviant. Both can be valid interpretations in my opinion. But anyway...

I think the piece would be slightly better set during Infilitration, right before the Decepticons are walking out to meet Megatron, kind of gives us a slightly deeper reason to why they didn't aid Starscream besides the almost cliche' "Uh oh, we're gonna get vaped if we disobey". Art and coloring are unique and well-done too.

So overall, top-notch stuff as usual ;)^

Hmm... anyone know why every time I post a Mosaic it gets double-posted?

Well, I know that for some reason the mods can't newsify (is that a word?) existing threads any more, so they have to create a duplicate post themselves and newsify that one instead.

Got it in one Jeysie!

I know it's annoying and effectively cuts your readership and comments over two threads, but we are working on getting it all fixed up, believe you me, I can't wait till I can just Newsify other peoples threads rather than re-create them!
