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:


It should be noted that while this project has been recognized by IDW Publishing and Hasbro, none of the works presented have been commissioned or solicited by either company. The stories are not official canon, except where noted.
These stories are the result of Transformers enthusiasts taking the time out of their busy days to contribute to a universe they love.
No one has been paid for the production of these stories.

"Bitter Memories" Story by Martin (Tron Program) Fisher, Art by Mike (Optimus 8404) Ackerman, Colors by Josh (Dye Mooch) Perez, Letters by Bernie (Blee) Lee

I don't think we've ever seen an Autobot be merciless before. Very nice piece all around.

It's nice to have a mosaic of this quality again. I've felt like many in the past month have not been as good as they were before. Probably because originally they had to really pick and choose and now enough are being produced to not need such a filter. But it's nice to see a really well done one again, one i actually care about. good job.

the colorscheme reminds me of Windcharger, but the... "mouthpiece" thing got me stumped, as well as the visor thing.

anyone who knows who this one-bot killing machine is?

From what Goribus has showed me, it appears to be Micromaster "Retro": http://www.tfu.info/1990/Autobot/Retro/retro.htm

This is definitely one of the best Mosaics thus far. It tells one heck of a lot of story in just a few panels, it shows a side we usually don't see, and finally (and best of all), it even leaves room for debate.

Hasn't this Autobot become what he hates ? In mercilessly executing a Decepticon begging for his life, hasn't he crossed the line and become a selfish murderer, himself ? Did he not choose his own vengeance over justice ?

And regarless of the questions I just raised.. "You could have said No". Is a powerful and very true quote.

To him, this is justice. He may be doing Decepticon like things but he believes that one must fire with fire, in a sense.

Besides we have seen Autobots willing to give no mercy before, see the original movie when Prime was ready to kill Megatron, despite his begging for mercy.

Now this is one Autobot who takes the theme song literally!

'Autobots wage their battles to destroy the evil forces of the Decepticons!"

That doesn't mean that it's not as wrong as it is when a Decepticon does it, though. Ends, means, justifications yadda yadda.

That guy is Retro, a micromaster combiner, and if you read his MTMTE page, you'd now where this Mosaic got it's inspiration.
