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:

Very interesting story, gives a new persepctive on Vortex. Awsome art too.

Who's the pink dude in the last panel? I don't recognize him.

One of the Firecons, I think. Cindersaur.

Ah thanks. Though, now that I know what to look for, I think it's Sparkstalker:

Or maybe it is indeed Cindersaur:

Either way, an unexpected and neat cameo.

Ah, Vortex the Decepticon interrogator. He's bonified badass.

Wait, couldn't Cliffy just turn off his pain circuitry? It'd be awfully convenient if he could!

I assume Vortex disabled Cliffy's ability to turn off sections of his circuitry. The combo of physical pain and mental pain is excellent for getting your prisoners to talk.

Wow. Proof that Decepticons are more interesting characters than Autobots. Never really thought that indepth about Vortex as an "Interrogator". Very good stuff here.

Before this, I never thought of Vortex like this. These things give me a whole new perspective. I love 'em!

Gotta love the Mosaics. I keep looking for a new one. Great job everyone who works on them, and Seibertron for bringing them.

Two possible outcomes:

1. 'The rebel base is on Dantooine.'

2. 'Baggins! Shire!'

Dantooine is far too remote to make an effective demonstration.

Good job! I really like this one--poor Cliffjumper!

Excellent stuff, even though I never would have pegged Vortex as that kind of interrogator - it seems too subtle for his tastes...

And it's definitely Sparkstalker. :grin:
