It looks like Ravage ate Soundwave or at least, cannibalized him for parts.

This is my favourite one yet. I love the artwork, love the colours, love Ravage, love Soundwave, and it shows that some loyalties will never die.
DECEPTICONS FOREVER!!

WOW! one of my favorite Mosaics yet!
only those who watched Beast Wars season 2 will get this comic. Amazing. kudos to Mark Kuggeleijn and Heather O'Connell for this, it's awesome to see one side of Agent Ravage's feelings for the Tripredacus council, as well as his undying loyalty to the Cause. this one deserves to be ranked as canon in Beast Wars history.
like he said in Agenda:
"DECEPTICONS FOREVER!"

i wonder who was Agent Ravage speaking to. Ramhorn? Cicadacon? Seaclamp? and it's nice to see the Transwarp Cruiser in print again after all these years.

Bar none, my favorite of the All-Spark pieces. I absolutely love the panel where Ravage is grieving over fallen Soundwave.

It's the bald one with the funky voice (reminds me of Transmutate) that says to the others "I have dispatched a covert agent, you know the one" that he's talking to. I also like the way the hologram is of Megs original head, not his TM head. I once read somehwere who was who on that table, but dang if I can't remember where it was and who was who.

Enjoyed Beast wars. Especially when the writers were exploring the G1 connection.

Excellent work by both Ms. O'Connell and Mr. Kuggeleijn. Ravages soliloquy is excellent and the art is great. As others have said, the panel of him grieving over Soundwave's corpse is the best.

ah yes, in the scene in the BW Animation where they were debating over BW Megatron's fate on the round table. that scene reminded me a lot of Mafia/Gangster movies, where the meetings take place in a dark room with a singular overhead lamp for lighting.
btw, as i was reminiscing over Beast Wars its kinda amazing and a real homage to G1 when Agent Ravage transformed into a cassette and not a cybernetic panther (Agenda pt. 2); this is significant because the Beast Wars series was known for eliminating mass-shifting in TFs.
as Insurgent says: some loyalties will never die.

If you look carefuly at Ravage when he looking at the dead body of Soundwave....he looks so sad

Poor Ravage.
And yes I do agree

Thanks, and no. The only one of these daily releases to be printed will be the first one "Rain".
I'm looking forward to Devastation #3, great Mosaic in that one!

I would buy a Mosaic TPB. Sweet Raptor Jesus, I'd be the first in line.

I know, I thought that if Ravage had been granted Amnestey, so would Sounwave and the other casseteicons plus his model was used in an ep. of BM.

Story is nothing short of superb. After seeing "Agenda", you had to figure that despite working for the council, he still longs for the "days of Megatron" - HIS Megatron.
The face he shows to the council is like his original form was in the Great War: a disguise... It's sometimes nice to remind yourself of where you came from...even if it is in the face of "petty revenge and power games."

I've enjoyed every Mosaic, and I feel they're getting progressively more nuanced and interesting as time goes by. I think the high point of this one is watching Ravage forlornly paw at the body of his father-figure. The soliloquy alone could easily have been the simple talk of conquest by a cartoon villain, but the sense of loyalty in the frame with Soundwave and the fatalism in Ravage's view of the survivor as the lucky and the damned suggests a more mature and complex character.
