These are some of those stories. This is:

Really short, but effective. If you had to see that thing every time you looked up, it probably would make you wonder what the heck it all means.

Is this CGed, and has any mosaic been done entirely that way before?

That's... deep. I had to make a minor nitpick, Unicron's left eye is supposed to be broken. Otherwise, great mosaic. :)

Actually I believe both eyes are broken. One on the way in and one on the way out. Anyway NICE story and art. If that was something I had to look at everytime I looked up Id go crazy

"I was built by a giant space monkey." Said Unicron, and Rodimus' serious face cracked into a smile. That day the tension in the generation one world died forever.

Anyone else concerned about the part that when a Transformer dies, they turn to a gunmetal grey and black? How about the fact that Uni there still has his color?

I don't think they put this much forethought into it, but Starscream turns him back on later and gets him some new eyes so he's not totally dead.

i still dont understand why they let unicrons head orbit cybertron, we're they to lazy to try and get rid of it or did they just miss their moons so much that they decided to turn unicrons head into a new one? Good mosaic none the less.

Very nice.

I think the reference to the common origins refers to the Primus origin thankfully, as the Primacron origin is one of the stupidest ideas of the franchise and really takes away from the Unicron of the film. But then what do expect from the cartoon series that gave us crap like Kremzeek, Alpha Trion, Lord Chumley and a slew of animation errors.

I personally find the Primacron explanation much more palatable than involving supernatural beings. It just needs a little more expansion and clarification.

They rectified that in Ghost in the Machine.... did they? The TFWiki says it was blown away beyond Cybertron's gravitational pull on one page, and that it's blown back into orbit in another. #-o

Nice, I really dig this one. The artwork most... that ground level sorta really makes me want to live on Cybertron...

They decided to use Unicron's head as a grim reminder of a catastrophic entity that almost destroyed their world. :-B

And if you think about it... its a pretty damn good "No Tresspassing" sign, especially of other races know of Unicron. I wouldn't F with cybertron If I saw that orbiting it.

What? Alpha Trion's awesome!

The one criticism I have of this Mosaic is that Unicron's head looks WAY too big. The chin looks like it's dipping below the spires and his cheeks are about to smash into them.

Unicron's head is gone in Beast Machines (as referenced by Rattrap) so the orbit decayed and it either was flung out or fell in. It was still a presence enough that the Vox used it's likeness to communicate to Primal as a symbol of authority and intimidation in Beast Wars.

EDIT: JEEZUM CROW ALL OF THESE QUOTE BARS DIDN'T WANT TO WORK WITHOUT MASSIVE EDITING!!
