Transformers Mosaic 2 Pack: "Determined" & "Public Service Announcement"

Both are great. But the OS one is so awesome I actually wet my pants with excitement.



OS needs more love Hasbro!

It's exactly what it says it is: a public service announcement, just like the ones that ran after GI. Joe episodes.

*looks at above post*
...caNT.........Resist....

thanks for explaining, now we know...

....and knowing is half the battle!

I always thought public service announcements ended on a little more positive notes than that.

I was a little confused with the message:

a: don't do drugs

b: don't interfere with people doing drugs

C: You can't/shouldn't make a difference anyway.

D: all of the above?

Mostly A, but I wrote the piece as an homage to the old PSA's, and an underlying message was unavoidable. The original PSA's did end on a positive note, but they were supposed to, and this is an IDW/more realistic version of one. Stepper's just trying to do the right thing, but unfortunately it doesn't work out. I guess it's like the old saying "You can lead a horse to water, but can't make it drink".

I really liked the first one.

Is Ricochete/Stepper a G1 character? He is not listed in my Transformers offical guidebook "More than meets the eye". [/quote]

Of course Stepper is a G1 character! He came out in Japan at the tail end of Headmasters I believe, and is of course a Targetmaster repaint/remold of Jazz. He was considered a very rare/expensive figure for awhile, along with his release buddy Artfire, which was a repaint of Inferno with a Targetmaster. He was reissued by Takrar with gold chromed versions of Jazz's weapons(the original release Stepper only had a new shoulder mount to hold his targetmaster), but I don't think he sold all that well.

Richochet(Stepper's after the fact American name) is the last Hasbro Commerative series Transformer released. He had black versions of Jazz's weapons, and the elongated missles that comply with U.S. safety standards.

The first one was pretty good. The second one was just okay. I mean, I can see what they were going for, but the confrontation was much too short. The kid doesn't put up a very satisfying fight and Stepper gives up way too easily.

Sweet. Omega Supreme never ceases to amaze. In the second one, I could almost hear the G.I. Joe theme music playing. Sweet.

Nice I really did like Public Service Announcement though, Gives a darker side of the whole "Knowing is Half the battle" stuff.

Good story also with Determined, nice artwork too

I'm curious why you chose Stepper for this situation. Does he often struggle with issues like these? I don't know much about him.

dude, is omega prime controlling skywarp to tell him where the constructions are
