Great usage and purpose for the blue convoy frame.

Truly awesome. Magnus is awesome.

I can buy that an explosion could have bleached Magnus' paint job but what I can't buy is the fact that the explosion turned his faceplate blue and gave him red optics. It is a nice little look into Magnus' origins though.

There is a little bit of a stretch here I grant you but basically the notion is that his paint has been blistered off by the extreme heat (which Magnus, being Magnus just went into anyway) and revealed his base colours. As for the eyes, they go from yellow to an orangy/red in the way that smoke glass changes the colour of light passing through it, and also because Magnus' eye colour is different to the Diaclone version!

Nice depiction of Magnus. I am amazed with how many excellent mosaics are coming out so quickly lately.

I agree. We keep getting really good new ones almost on a daily basis. Keep up the good work artists!

The original G1 Ultra Magnus (his base "Convoy mode" that is)his optics are red while his mouth plate is blue. So in the mosaic, is that like a retcon on how he turned out that way? The original Diaclone "Powered Convoy" base "Convoy" was blue so you're linking the two line? :APPLAUSE:

Awesome!

Seeing the the blue Magnus at first made me think of this mosaic - http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/transformers-mosaic-brotherhood-lost/13138/

Reminds me of Hotspot in a way. If Hasbro made Ultra Magnus look like this, I'd have alot of Ultra Magnus in my shelf. :lol:

This was awesome! Great way to use both Magnus color schemes. Almost reminds me of the 86 movie when the Matrix was being handed to Magnus.

Can't wait to see the next Mosaic.

I liked it. Even though I have to remind myself to not nitpick about Prowl's earth look. Highway patrol...must not complain... :-B

I can answer that - this is set AFTER season 2 of the cartoon but before the movie, so Prowl has been to Earth but Magnus hasn't as yet got his armour.

Anything that shows how awesome Ultra Magnus really is, is in itself awesome.
