beast wars and mahcines
you know ive always had an idea for a rhinox beast machines mosiac where he and black arachnia are caught up in earth and megatron himself caputres rhinox while blackarachnia gets caught in the virus. in the first panel it would have tankbots driving through the streets while rhinox and blackarachnia are ontop of a rooftop. rhinoxis thinking " cybertron was once such a paradise now turned into this!
panel 2: shot of rhinox looking down at the bots" these things must of killed all of the cybertronians. black arachnia" rhinox!"
panel 3: black arachnia is on the other side of the building talking to rhinox "we have to find out how we can get to optimus and the rest so we can save cybertron!"
panel 4: megatroncomes out of the sky"oh but it is allready saved"
he says" you thilthy robotics are only trying to harm it.
panel 5: knock blackarachnia off the building he grabs rhinox by the neck" i have special plans for you.
panel6. far back shot of cybertron burning and blackarachnia falling as megatron flies off say" in time rhinox youll learn to like your new body"

so what does everyone think?

The first one was fun.

The second however was one of the best TF stories I've ever read in my life!

I know that's said often by people who veiw these, but an insite into Megatron's asention and mindset formed in the grey area between Beast Wars and Beast Machines has always been something I hoped would one day be elaborated upon!

Good stuff

so what does everyone think?

I think 2 things...

1 even though Megatron never planned to create the generals initialy, he always had a grip with Rhinox, so it works.

2 start drawing

Fancy that, a maximal about to attack an unhostile pred....
I knew those maximal's were up to no good
:lol:

Seriously though, both Mosaics are great. I specifically enjoyed "Perfect Liberation". I always enjoy snipets of interesting or unique character thought processes, especially when it turns a concept that is apparently so undeniably evil into somewhat of a grey area.

Keep up the good work!

Comment by MrMunkeepants Feb 14, 2008

ah, this is more my territory. I was too young to remember anything from G1, but old enough during BW to appreciate most of the mature/philosophical aspects. sometimes I think BM should be rebooted in print form (much like the new Gargoyles series retcons season 3) to really show what was possible with it.

is there a specific event that "Swoop" is leading up to? it seems like it's supposed to be important...

Comment by Autobot Jazz Feb 14, 2008

Both very good mosaics, although I didn't think Airazor remembered anything about Cybertron. You can really compare BM Megs to Animated by his character profile

Comment by Devastator Feb 14, 2008

Swoop is okay. It's not very introspective but it gets its point accross.

Perfect Liberation is better, but it seemed that the writer was in a contest with himself to see how many times he could fit variations of the words "liberation" and "oppression" on one page.

Birds and spiders and various animals with 'tron' at the end of their name = Beastwars / machines. Meh.

Tanks and 18 wheelers, planes and construction vehicles, giant guns and Space Shuttles = Transformers ( The way it should be ! )
