Almost perfect mosaic... but Rampage was killed with an energon-chunk, not with Depthcharges rapier... still, this mosaic is a twist on the BW story I like.

yep, Rampage was killed with an Energon splinter that went kablooey along with a vast deposit of unstable Energon on the background. but enough of Beast Wars history. that was merely for the guy who posts "great mosaic!" and other stupid nonsensical one-liners just to PAD his post count...yeah, you know who you are.

in fact, i think this is A SCARY thought...an mishmash of Rampage's spark and Depth Charge...i'd hate to live with my own worst enemy within me hahaha (who wouldn't?) maybe this could be a tie-in to the backstory of the Universe recolor of Depth Charge?

this is a cool mosaic. always love it when people do Beast Wars stuff. keep it up!

Wow, interesting Mosaic with a very neat twist. I also like the art style too.

Not something I'd like to see actually happen within continuity, but a very cool "what if". Topnotch

What a great twist. I have feeling whatever is left of Depthcharge in that amalgam will glad sacrifice himself just to get rid of Rampage once and for all.

Nope, no idea whats going on there.

Looks pretty tho...

Nice. This is a great idea. Only question to ask now is who has the most control over the body.

A great idea. I would love to see a full comic on Rampage. He was a great character. I still think Transmutate is the best TF episode ever (in any series). Has anyone done a poll on that subject?

i dont really get this one but its alright

Actually, I am drawing and writing a Rampage story for Mosaic as we speak.

ha ha death ramcharge...

Very intresting, I know both figures had a Universe revival, but this is a nice epilog.

Depthcharge would probably have killed himself/Rampage rather than yell 'No!'...

He's in shock, give him a minute and he'll stab himself in the spark.

I feel sorry for Depthcharge, this must be his worst nightmare come true.

Also very nice art.

Finally a comic about me, I don't like the idea through, but it is funny. Depthcharge was killed completely by the explosion, primal brought him back in Universe. I am working on my story/comic to what happened to Rampage after the explosion due to its invincibility, and being seperated into two, his spark would make more sense for Dinobot's personality to be a part of it. Hopefully I can post it sometime. I was also working on a prequel series, of him becoming protoform X, and his activities on Omicron, and his first battle with Depthcharge.

I hope to see more mosaics featuring Rampage through, he is my favorite after all.

Very original idea, I likey!

awesome Depthcharge and Rampage were my favorite characters from beast wars

Ooh...Beast Wars + Mosaic = sweetness.

Thanx for the nice comments all!

I did the artwork on this piece (ages ago). Other threads discussing this piece are less then uplifting to read.

"I don't get it."
"Crap story."
"Crap art."
"This isn't funny, Mosaic's are supposed to be funny."
"Whats the point - there's support to be a point."

Those are the few comments that stick out. For a moment there I was about ashamed of my work on it.

I would HOPE to think I have since improoved - see my latest WIP (work in progress) below....



Anyway - thanks for the kind words!

Funny how from site to site, Trans-fans are very different. But even bad opinions of my work can help me try harder.

It was good art, I maybe hope to see more Beast wars stuff from you in the future.

Like this...?



It's some promo movie poster art for an upcoming BW/BM related comic.

I got a bunch of other character designs and sketches on my deviantart gallery dealing with the Beast Wars/Machines characters.

"This isn't funny, Mosaic's are supposed to be funny."

Pfft. Out of the 40-odd Mosaics we've had so far, only "Duel" and "Downcast" struck me personally as outright funny. (Though there's a few other light-hearted ones.) Any look into the minds of the characters, funny or no, is fine by me.

And I like the art... it seems that people tend to get down a bit on less-realistic art, which saddens me. I also like your Brawn piece there, it's really cool.

As for the story, I've seen very little Beast Wars at this point, so I can't comment on that.

dont get it
but good though

I like the reimagined beast modes for the characters, I like the Spittor one very cool. Hopefully Rampage will get one to.

That Brawn picture is awesome also.

Well, it's actually hard to get if you did not see Season 2 and 3 of Beast Wars, but here's a short filler so you'll hopefully get this Mosaic:


Rampage (a.k.a. Protoform X) - failed experiment of Cybertronians who tried to clone the Immortal Spark of Starscream, but failed. transforms into a Transmetal crab. very violent and suffers constantly from having his indestructible Spark (which was taken from his body FYI) being tortured upon constantly by Megatron (who encases it in a small chamber with Energon spikes, and squeezes it ala stress balls whenever Rampage doesn't follow his command).

Depth Charge - the main character in this Mosaic. sworn enemy of Rampage, who destroyed his security station/planet. transforms into a transmetal manta ray.


events leading to this mosaic:

in their final appearance during season 3, we find Depth Charge and Rampage battling underwater near large deposits of Energon crystals (which are high explosive due to their unstable nature).

they battle with Energon crystal shards, and Depth Chrage manages to pin down Rampage. despite the fact that killing Rampage will detonate the Energon deposits around them, Depth Charge still stabs the Energon shard into Rampage's spark, detonating the Energon around them and killing them both.


basically, this mosaic is a "What If?" type of comic, playing around the facts that Rampage's spark is nearly indestructible (though only Energon can seem to damage it) and that Depth Charge was reissued under the Universe Line, with colors similar to the ones used in this mosaic.

hope this helps.
