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:

OK, I'm a bit lost with this one. :???:

Is this in reference to a recent comic? Or are we talking pre or post G1 cartoon? Soundwave looks a bit WFC. On the plus side, Great art work and the writing is good, clearly a lot of work goes into these things. :APPLAUSE:

Reading the mosaics is always something I look forward to!

Thanks! It's true, a lot of efforts (and concepts) went into this one.

You can see this one as a generic pre-war story on Cybertron: how did the main mechs of the rebellion (the future Decepticons) select their own warriors without being exposed?
Why the cybertronian security did not realize what was "brewing" in their society?

Soundwave looks a bit WFC.

Soundwave is based on Don Figueroa' cybertronian design for The War Within.
You can see our template here (but we are going to upload a revised alt mode very soon):

Or are we talking pre or post G1 cartoon?

It could be both continuities, but if we were to choose, this is "modern comics" continuity, in The War Within universe. You can see more of the story in the extended SW/SW saga.

Fistfight's line is a nod to our previous Mosaic, "Trusted Assistant"

Doublecross is a (generic) nod to Maximum Dinobots and Searchlight was chosen because of his role in Stormbringer.

Very Cool. I'm happy Fistfight is back with another round of his enjoyable sarcasm. He's an excellent counterpoint to Shockwaves anal-retentiveness. Also enjoyed the subtleties from some of the other comics. Folks who may not have read all of the War Within or Spotlight comics may not catch everything but I really enjoyed the details. Keep 'em coming. :APPLAUSE:

Took awhile to remember who was who, the dialogue wasn't too concise I thought at first as you didn't use the original paint scheme to Backbite and I had to go and use the wiki to remember who the slag he was as I thought you used a different bot from who I remembered in the comics, and that you didn't go and show Fistfight fully in the frame made me think that it was Soundwave standing with Shockwave and he was talking to Fistfight on the monitor. Overall its a 2/10 IMHO, I like it but with how the recent Mosaics compare to this I just cannot honestly give it more then a 2 as it sadly was just not that concise.

I'm sorry, but this is one of those Mosaics I don't get. The protagonist looks like the Shattered Glass version of Hungurr, but his name is Backbite, apparently. :???:

So...the dragon mutant guy gets his mind wiped? Sucks to be him...
Sort of a "meh" Moasaic in my opinion, wasn't bad just not AMAZING or anything. Good art though, as usual.

Yea I realised after my post also that it was Double Cross who was the main focal point which screwed me up thinking he was Backbite and me going WTF is going on in this mosaic? But yea that is Double Cross in the mosaic, sorry if my post confused anyone.

And maybe this surgery also caused his split personality.

Sorry that the story doesn't work for the most of you, guys.
The idea of having a mini Spotlight for Doublecross, but without his narrating voice, maybe would have worked on a longer script.
Also, the story is probably too self-referring, and it lacks action.

Maybe a second read would help to get all the hints?
Anyway, thank you fo reading the first time ^^

Fistfight has now his own profile (based on the scarce information provided by ActionMaster Shockwave toy tech specs).
