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:

Amazing artwork. You just can't beat the painted style. Reminds me of old Marvel UK TF comics. Or that series of books, whose publisher I can't remember, or indeed the Sideswipe Spotlight. The painted artwork really does seem to suit the Transformers.

Like the Hydrothermocline mention. Makes me feel it's set in the Marvel continuity. Although if it is, the story introducing the Combaticons and Protectobots was not their first attempt to steal the hydrothermocline. I say it's before because the mosaic says this is the first meeting of the Constructicons and Dinobots. But by the time the Combaticons went after it, the Constructicons and Dinos had already tangled, at least in the UK comics.

Anyway, great mosaic.

Great art, but the writing could do with having been proof-read and edited by someone who speaks English as their first language.

Wonderful art, could use a bit more story and a follow up mosaic.

Exactly what I was thinking. Artwork is briliant, but is lost on the bad pacing of the story and especially the terrible writing.

Good mosaic! I also like how the image is smaller, so I can actually view it here, instead of having to go all the way to DeviantArt. :D

I'd be more into this one if I hadn't just re-read the Hydro-Thermocline story this last week when I was sorting out my comics for selling. I like the artwork in this but this story almost seems to supplant the original rather than support. Still, if I approach it from more of a "what if" angle in an attempt to give some leeway, it's not too bad for a first meeting between the heavy hitters.

I concur with this statement. It is hydro not hidro and it should have been led not leaded as leaded is not a real English word.

Actually, "leaded" is an English (or at least American) word, just not in the context that is appropriate for this Mosaic. It has to do with the petroleum industry primarily. OMG, I sounded like an intellectual just then, didn't I? Aarrggh, I just did it again! I have a reputation to uphold...somebody make it stop!! #-o
