Very well written Duke! A scenario most likely following the Autobot victory.

Neat idea. Decepticon persecution and witch hunts.

Sadly this is fiction reflecting reality. To the Victor, the Spoils! The old tyrants are now the persecuted/ downtreaded.
Just take a look at our history...........okay, modern history. World War I and II, the Germans and later the Japanese were treated like cr@p, heck even Japanese American citizens were herded into concentration camps in the good old US of A (I wonder why Italian and germans weren't?)
Back to fiction...........would you blame the Autobots in the first place?

It's a nice interpretation of what (most likely...) happened on Cybertron after the Movie & during FFOD. I really like seeing the 'old' Bots & Cons from Seasons 1 & 2, like Smokescreen, Reflector, & most notably, Shockwave. I really thought he would make it through the rest of the series w/o at least being cut in half & poked the the eyeball.
I like this one though, the art is great, & it provides a great vision of what went on w/the 'vintage' Decepticons & Autobots.

One of my favorite mosaics so far. We like to think our heroes wouldn't behave this way, but if we think of them as people outside of a cartoon world, we know it's likely that they would. Mind you, retribution of this kind is not the only possible outcome of warfare; reparation is possible with enough responsibility. Cybertron would've needed a trusted and honorable leader like Optimus to pull that off. I'm reminded of how Woodrow Wilson's illness and death prevented the realization of his plans for reparations following WWI, and how the punitive measures against Germany helped lay the foundations for WWII. Considering what we know from Beast Wars, we could even consider this Mosaic canon. Nicely done.

An amazing mosaic, and most certainly my new favourite. I have a soft spot for the 'generic' TFs that we see in the comics and cartoons, so its nice to see a mosaic deal with things from their perspective.

forever!

Too bad for the 'cons.
Don't do the crime (genocide?) if you can't do the time.

This is a fresh take on the Autobot victory. This time from the Decepticon perspective. Great story and great art. I really like the image of Shockwave's head and torso on a pike. One of the best Mosaics this year.

Very nicely done. I always liked seeing things from the bad guys' perspective.

Hmm, I always thought the Cons just fled from the planet and retreated to Charr on their own. This gives a bit of cruelty to the Autobots.

We didn't round up the Italians and Germans because we were originally going to stay out of the war. Japan made the first move with Pearl Harbor.
Anyway, an excellent piece.

Simply beautiful. Love the art, well written, and, well, poignant to say the least.
Excellent work, my friend!

Actually, they're not generics(ok, technically they were in almost every form of media so far), but team Reflector! Let's hear it for Spectro, Spyglass, and Viewfinder!!!
http://www.tfu.info/subgroup/subgroup1.htm#reflI chose to specifically ask for all three in their toy forms because while Reflector did have clones in the original show, they would look way to similar and you couldn't tell them apart. Also I didn't know whether to go for a hive mind or a single perspective with Reflector's dialogue, so having the other two worked whichever way you view them.
dragons wrote:ive always wanted to see shockwave to die like that didtn think autobots had it in them to do something like that
My view(which was pretty simple I guess) was that the Autobots were ticked. Think about it, their old leader for MILLIONS of years was dead, as well as a lot of their old friends and commrades, and some new guy who was just a punk kid previously tries to come in and tell them what to do, even though they have a very distince tactical advantage considering the Decepticons are exhausted, leaderless, and probably have very little morale. So while Rodimus is preaching peace(which I believe he was, hence why they acted when he was off-planet) the old Season 1 and 2 guys do what they've wanted to do for a long time, which is clean house. Maybe Shockwave fought back a little too hard, killed yet another Autobot while trying to capture him, and they were just pushed over the edge, and went to the extreme. Plus, Shockwave was considered dead anyway, whether a crazed Autobot does it or Unicron makes no difference, cause this is
Fan-fiction.

Is it me, or is that Prowl some where in the back of the panel that has a dead shockwave.

Poor Shockwave!

I agree, and would shockwave try to solve the problems in both factions, so he could have ended the war? i mean, he's like a robot al gore!

Point taken but still, since the good old US of A already entered the war, why didn't they intern the germans and the italians? Why only the japanese?
And yes, in war, there are no real winners............poor Shockwave though, but if my understanding is correct(being a fan fiction and all), the decepticons were probably given a lose loose option, stay and be slagged or leave and also be slagged slowly anyway until permanent stasis lock off world)

Wow, a lot of the Autobots on the surface seem to look like the peaceful types, but away from the watchful eyes of their leaders, a few of them are just as brutal as the Decepticons.

This is probably coming much too late to be of any effect but I realized why this comic is so right. Given the fact the Decepticons separated themselves from the rest of the Cybertronian society, trained and weeded out the weak ones through the gladiatorial combat arena, and then laid waste on Cybertron, they deserve to be hunted down and destroyed. The Decepticons declared war on everything non-Decepticon, lost that war and now they expect mercy? They expect to go unpunished for their crimes? Did expected teh rest of the Cybertronian society to welcome back to the rest of society with open arms and kisses? I don't think so.
DESTROY EVERY LAST DECEPTICON TILL THEY ARE NO LONGER IN EXISTANCE!!!
And then turn aorund and destroy every vistage of their society: martial art practices, science, technology, everything the Decepticons built in the name of their wretched little empire.
