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:

Interesting take. Nicely done.

It seems that the hints are just too convoluted, so here are the details.

Continuity: G1 cartoon (Sunbow). It's an attempt to lay the basis for some events of "The Rebirth".

Basically, we're writing a possible sequel to G1 US cartoon, considering the japanese shows a sort of alternate universe (but the Mosaic is a double tribute to Beast Wars and Masterforce as well).

Panel 1: the planet has a ring, just like in the Marvel Comics. This new "Pretender Wars" will damage it beyond recognition, turning it into that tangled web of purple clouds that you can see around Nebulos in "The Rebirth".

There's a mention of time travel. The six Transformers that reached Nebulos' distant past came from the year 2008 or 2009, I'd say.

Panel 2. The planet is rich of Energon! Who seeded it? Where did it go?
In another plot, we will learn that the Quintessons used Nebulos as a prison as well, so maybe they are the ones who seeded the Energon.

Panel 3. The city is the first Hive's city, but it is also a lost Cybertronian ship. This is why Spike and Cerebros, in "The Rebirth", could so easily turn it into Fortress Maximus' body (hence the city's look: the Hive will change it, trying to adapt the structures to their own needs).

There's a mention of another Cybertronian ship...it's the second Hive's city, the one that will become Scorponok's body.

Panel 4. The new ships, with time traveling capabilities, crashed but survived... maybe they're still around in the present-day Nebulos.

Panel 5. So, on Nebulos was fought a "Pretender Wars", I wonder how it ended. However, what we have here is a new origin for these weird toys.

There are six other toys that do not appear here: with another artist, we're at work to give them a completely different origin as well.

For a second there, I thought these were Battle Beasts. Well done.

This is like a mix between Masterforce, Beast Wars, and Car Robots/RiD. Very confusingly creative (or is it creatively confusing? ).

This is quite awesome. Epic, in fact.

@Sabrblade:
Well, I should point out that Masterforce is not really in the mix: the Pretenders doesn't belong exclusivesy to that series, since they were in the US toyline as well and were featured in Marvel comics.
The Maximus city: maybe a more G1-like color scheme was required ^^'

@Lorekeeper:
Thanks!!

I meant that this story of these Pretenders is quite similar of the backstory of the Pretenders in Masterforce.

Ops, sorry: my bad.
I thought I knew Masterforce, but I missed the part about them timetravelling?

The way I understood it, the Pretenders were imprisoned on Earth like 10,000 years ago or something, and then they re emerged in the present...? But you and I both know that if you worry too much about continuity with every story you'll eventually go mad. Heh.

Thank you, now I get it. I was starting to feel pretty dense!
Well, at least I stated that I wanted to follow just US series, so this saves me from the dangers of continuity errors.

Defiantly an interesting one

Now I want to do a sort of sequel, told by Zarak's point of view.
