TRANSFORMERS MOSAIC: "The Choice"

I love the Mosaic!!!
I love seeing bad guys have a soft side.
I guess Megatron wouldn't blast him when he's out cold. It's only worth it to him if he obliterates him in the middle of pitched combat.

I'm starting to see a pattern here... Bad guys really aren't all that bad, BORING!

"Bad guys are boring"?? Just the opposite I reckon. These Mosaics just go to show that the bad guys are just as complex and as diverse as any of the heroes. Who wants a 2d villian after all?

Another good one here. nice art too.

Make no mistake, this isn't Megatron being a softie. This is the megalomaniac shining through. What is a villain without a hero opposite? Usually more successful, but also less dramatic.

Beutiful lead in to their awakening!

Sweet. This one is awesome!!

I commend the authors for this one. They had to know that it would spark debate/criticism for how Megs was portrayed.

I like it. Reminds me of Lex Luthor's reaction to Superman's death or the motive behind Mr. Glass' actions in "Unbreakable" (a very underrated movie BTW). Every super-villian needs the super-hero, otherwise executing their plots have little to no challenge and ultimately become meaningless, despite the achievement of a goal.

This holds true in sports too. Most players do not want to face their arch rivals when the rival has key players out. They want to defeat them at full strength so that the victory can be savored to it's utmost. If the Colts played the Pats and Tom Brady was hurt, the Colts victory would not mean nearly as much as if Brady played.

If the Colts knock out Brady during the game, that's a different story. That's part of the game, just like Megs defeating Prime during a battle or Luthor outsmarting Superman during one of his schemes.

Second, Megs and Prime have had a long history together (in any continuity) and while they have different values and perspectives, they are truly the only ones who understand one another. Leaders are often lonely because no one understands the demands of the job. To find someone who understands you, even if they disagree with your goals, is a rare thing.

How many times do the leaders of opposing armies end up respecting their opponents to the point of kindness? It's happened in almost every long war in human history (Alexander the Great & Darius, Grant & Lee, Montgomery & Rommel), so why not with the Cybertronians?

Thats pretty screwed up. everybody knows that megs would kill him immediatly.

buts it is a autobot fans dream come true......

would have been nicer if Prime was in his The War Within design as he hadn't yet gotten an Earth form yet. But then it would have contradicted the cartoon which didn't redesign their robot forms (although technically the transformers would have had different bodies than on earth).
