TRANSFORMERS MOSAIC: "Falling Star"

See they went down the same route as Prime did in Escalation.

That's a fairly big gamble, considering Starscream has no affinity with the Matrix, and is still to feature in upcoming IDW stories...

Yeah, but either way, still a good read.

Starscream does have a supernatural connection, though, as one of the few Transformers who can return as a ghost.

Also, didn't he briefly hold the Matrix in one continuity or something? Wayward reminded me of that in Insecticomics, but I can't remember the situation now and I'm feigning laziness to check on it.

Having him drift through the Dead Universe like Prime was a brilliant idea. I wonder if his ominous presence is Galvatron.

Fun read

another fun issue. Nice art to boot. Makes me wonder who wasted Screamer this time around.

I don't really know anything about the "Dead Zone"(or whatever it's called, haven't read the Optimus Prime Spotlight, only Infiltration, Escalation, and Devestation #1), but it seems that since this was written before that issue came out, it's a moot point. Still, not that big on the story itself.

However, I do love the narrative, and it captures Starscream quite well. I also think the last text box is brilliant, such a great play on Screamer's name. The art is fantastic as well .

Of course, if you go by the cartoon chronology, Starscream's spark was able to travel through time (showed up in Beast Wars), so maybe, just maybe, Starscream is trying to possess himself?

Lovely comic!

one day we will all be one with the matrix.

Why does he experience the same thing Prime does? Is this what all Transformers go through at near death? If it is, it is quite interesting.

Oh yeah! Yeah, he had it in the G2 comic. He merged with the WarWorld and tormented Op and Megs for a while.

I read this Mosaic and thought that this might have been whan Stars went through when he died in the G1 comic, and was revived as a Pretender.

doesn't the colour scheme match more with pretender Starscream?
