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:

This is one of the best so far, but which piece could Hauler possibly make?

Can't remember which piece, but I think there's been a mistake somewhere. Guessing from the alt-mode (a crane), I'd this is actually supposed to be Hook, not Hauler. Besides, he only member of the G1 Constructicons whose name is even close to Hauler is actually Long Haul, which is the dump truck.

Very cool story here this reminds me to the secret of omega supreme a fav G1 ep of mine. To shed some light to haulers identity and tell me if i'm wrong but hauler was a name for a later continuitys of constructicons. Brought about by the e hobby toy road hauler and some G1 episode stuff from more than meets the eye prt1 and five faces of darkness prt 4. So he is like another G1 character sunstorm given a proper life through the mosaics. Personal request here give me a good sunstorm mosaic. Good work guys

No, that's not Hook, that is Hauler. Hook is seen chasing Hauler in panel 4.

As for what part he'd be, maybe a backpack or something.

I love the 'OH ****!' expression on Bonecrusher and Scavanger's faces.

Hauler was a "cameo" Autobot that appeared in "More than Meets the Eye" in the original G1 series. His appearance was brief and in vehicle mode only, and they only called him by name. It's somewhat akin to the appearances of the green and yellow seekers in a subsequent episode.

This is my favorite panel of this piece as well! :lol:

Being a long-time fan of the Constructicons, I enjoyed this Mosaic bunches! Nice little story and even nicer art!

Good show! ;)^

This is one of the best done Mosaics I've seen. Great reference to a seriously obscure character, and it ties in with the cartoon. Fantastic. I give this five thumbs up out of a possible two.

I loved this one! Omega f'n Supreme, FTW!!! He's one of my favorite characters and it's great when he can come out to whoop some 'con tailpipe.

That is a flat awesome story! :grin:
*clears throat* Am I the only one who actually noticed that Hauler was NOT green in the G1 episode though? I saw that just recently as I popped in the first season. :P

It must be a contrast issue on the various television sets that make folks claim that the original Hauler was not green because from the very first time I saw him in the G1 cartoon til present day he has always been a lightish green on all of my television sets. It's cool to see him in his own mosaic. I never thought of making a Constructicon connection with him. Brilliant idea. Makes me wish he had been used more in the cartoon.
