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:

Do I also detect an homage to the beginning of Spiderman 2?

Well, if you're going to do a mosaic this bland, it may as well be in the Bayniverse. Decent enough.

I don't know, I just get this strange vibe off this one. Like it's an attempt to ride on the coat-tails of the TF-vs-Predator mosaic in terms of re-purposing existing material only this attempt employed far less effort. While I stood up for the guys who did the TF/Predator piece, I can't say that I would do so again for this one if, in fact, that's what this is. If it isn't, then I apologize to the artist for making such an assumption but there are aspects to this mosaic that look like glaringly poor Photoshopping.

this seems like one of those good idea bad execution things or a joke with no set up only a punch line

I wrote this Mosaic over three years ago and it was intended to follow the events of the first live action movie.

If it was unclear, the idea is that despite driving an awesome car that transforms into an alien robot, you still might have to have a crappy job.

Thanks to my artistic collaborators who, I think, did great work.

First mosaic I didn't like. Why you may ask? Yep. Bay. Mosaic's have been a wonderful treat. Often using obscure characters. But this yellow joke, has been seen plenty. Too much even. Good artwork. I support the effort, but really? Does anyone actually like this "Bumblebee"? :-?

Heh, reminded me of the founder of Papa John's who actually owned an older Camaro:

http://www.mahalo.com/papa-johns-camaro/

"Papa John's founder John Schnatter went on a search for a 1972 Z28 Camaro that he sold 25 years earlier to start his first pizza restaurant. He offered $25,000 to anyone who could help him locate the exact car. Schnatter found the car in Kentucky in August of 2009, buying it from the most recent owner for $250,000. In honor of the car and the 25th anniversary of Papa John's, Schnatter offered all Camaro owners a free large pizza on Wednesday, August 26, 2009. On November 16, 2009, Papa John's announced that they are offering a 1:64 scale die-cast toy version of the z28 Camaro. It sells for $4.99, with $1 from each car sold benefiting the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation. The packaging also includes a coupon on the back for a free medium cheese pizza."

:lol: Haas Bros.

I like the slight "blurriness" of the art, it makes me nostalgic for some reason.
The text is a bit too sharp compared to that, though. More so the "Haas Bros" text than the spoken dialogue.
