Hi, I'm the writer of the Mosaic. I'm a big fan of Shattered Glass. Read the comic drawn by
The Don and read Reunification. Loved that story. But I was sad about how simple Megatron died and how he became Galvatron.
Like Gen1 has many universes, this universe is just a variant of the S.G universe. Things are just a little bit different. Since the IDW Galvatron I've hoped to see that the explanation was that they where brothers. Never happened.
So I've took a little freedom and made them in the SG universe brothers.
Still, It could happen that I maybe write a story where Galvatron is killed and later on that Megatron will be Galvatron.
But maybe that's to much. A idea I've got this morning.
About the panel. You are not the first one the wonder about that. Also de responds on the DeviantArt site where the same. Same questions about this panel. Some people see that it's the hand of Optimus, others don't see it.
Maybe a error of mine in the script but Phillip resolved it with this small panel and in my opinion it works great!!!
He is really good and draw it in a week.
This is the first Shattered Glass Mosaic of many I've wrote. You will see Optimus again in at least two different Mosaics. One is a sequel of this one, the other a totally different story that really will rock (well, they both will

)
