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:

Awesome. :lol: Love the rhyming. Wheelie is really a super badass... in disguise.

It's very, very sad when not even the skilled hands behind Mosaic can make me like Wheelie. I have to say, this does bring out his character both as an insufferable rhymester and as the bad boy of Quintessa. Good work. Now, let's never see Wheelie again!

PS--Love the cards.

As what has become the trend on this Mosaic issue, the art is great and appropriate for this story.

Sounds too cruel.

But..I liked it.

It's a great concept - a Transformers narrative poem, and it's the right character and type of concept matter. I like that part of it.

But, for one, the scansion doesn't flow entirely cleanly to me. (Though, granted, it usually didn't in Wheelie's cartoon dialogue, either... one reason why Blaster's rhyming was much cooler to me. Anyhoo.)

And for two... I agree, seems too cruel for Wheelie. He strikes me as the more mischievious type, not malevolent. Joyride in a stolen ship? Sure. Push a fellow Autobot down the stairs for some Energon/revenge? Ehh...

Still, it *was* a darkly cute strip. :)

Front Paged and Credited.

Love the evil Wheelie, and the rhyming was very well done by the writer.

Wheelie is evil!! I knew it from the moment he debuted in TFTM! That sneaky little Autobot...if you can call him an Autobot...

No, it sounds like "'Twas the Night Before Christmas." I recognized the beat almost instantly.

So it took 20 years for Wheelies to grow some ball joints. I'd be pissed too if I were him!

Wheelie, one day you'll get yours... one day...

IMHO, the BEST Mosaic thus far.

Isn't Daytonus a Gobot (the original, not Generation 2)?

Nope, he's an unused G2 Gobot mold who got released as a Spychanger in RiD. So, yeah, it's still slightly weird for him to be there. But I don't forsee him getting any face time without sneaking into other continuities, and the bot has to earn a living osmehow.

I didn't think much of it the first time I read it a few weeks ago, but after reading it again, I quite enjoyed it. Definitely a very good interesting piece.
