Transformers Mosaic: Constructicons

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.

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

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.

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!!
