The Universe of the Transformers is vast, and populated by many characters. Their universe is a large tapestry, made up of the stories and points of view of countless experiences that serve the larger whole.
These are some of those stories. This is:
It should be noted that while this project has been recognized by IDW Publishing and Hasbro, none of the works presented have been commissioned or solicited by either company. The stories are not official canon, except where noted.
These stories are the result of Transformers enthusiasts taking the time out of their busy days to contribute to a universe they love.
No one has been paid for the production of these stories.
Now that we're back to our regularly scheduled Mosaics, we're proud to present "The Thunder's Echo"! It's written by Daniel Bartlett (aka Knightsfury) with artwork by Chris Vera (aka Kurisama).

As with the last Mosaic, not seeing the image. Other Mosaics work and have worked fine. Too bad I'm not seeing the new ones, considering how they've increased in quality with practically every release.

Interesting that Prime rescued Thundercracker & that he is somewhat reluctant to fight him & the Autobots now. These mosaics always shed a new light on characters we thought we knew. That's why I love 'em!

Thundercracker's been more timid, subdued in the latest Generation as it is. I think its a nice change of pace from him being just another goon.

Cybertronian Modes. What the Bots and Cons looked like on Cybertron. Most of them were made during the War Within DW stories, adapted from the few Cybertron modes we saw in MTMTE:1.
Protoforms are Beast Wars and Movie only.

Hats off to another powerful story. "Well drawn" is an understatement, get this artist to IDW! I think we may have a breakout star of Mosaic...Thundercracker, and I couldn't be happier.

I love that Thundercracker is showing blue eyes in this. Very symbolic and great allusion to his possible dissonance with the Decepticon cause. This artist is very talented and made a beautiful and stunning piece. I absolutely LOVE these Mosaics! It opens the world of the Transformers to so many creative people who have great ideas and allows characters such as Thundercracker to be seen from angles not previously possible. I love it and look forward with great anticipation to every one! Now how about one featuring Mirage’s disillusionment with the Autobot cause. That would be an interesting one to explore.

That's a great idea.
It would be cool to have them all collected in one place., A book would kick ass.

I agree I'd love a book of these; I love short stories, and an anthology of comic page "short stories" is a pretty unique idea (in fact, I don't think I've ever heard of one before).
Love to see an official Mosaic website, too. The DeviantArt page works well enough for now, but I can imagine it getting unwieldy the more strips that are released.

Thundercracker may be unsure of the Decepticon cause but there's still his contempt for those beings who cannot fly.
