Transformers Mosaic: "Till All Are Autobot"

Neat idea. Decepticon persecution and witch hunts.

Sadly this is fiction reflecting reality. To the Victor, the Spoils! The old tyrants are now the persecuted/ downtreaded.

Just take a look at our history...........okay, modern history. World War I and II, the Germans and later the Japanese were treated like cr@p, heck even Japanese American citizens were herded into concentration camps in the good old US of A (I wonder why Italian and germans weren't?)

Back to fiction...........would you blame the Autobots in the first place?

One of my favorite mosaics so far. We like to think our heroes wouldn't behave this way, but if we think of them as people outside of a cartoon world, we know it's likely that they would. Mind you, retribution of this kind is not the only possible outcome of warfare; reparation is possible with enough responsibility. Cybertron would've needed a trusted and honorable leader like Optimus to pull that off. I'm reminded of how Woodrow Wilson's illness and death prevented the realization of his plans for reparations following WWI, and how the punitive measures against Germany helped lay the foundations for WWII. Considering what we know from Beast Wars, we could even consider this Mosaic canon. Nicely done.

Too bad for the 'cons.

Don't do the crime (genocide?) if you can't do the time.

twisted

Very nicely done. I always liked seeing things from the bad guys' perspective.

Hmm, I always thought the Cons just fled from the planet and retreated to Charr on their own. This gives a bit of cruelty to the Autobots.

ive always wanted to see shockwave to die like that didtn think autobots had it in them to do something like that

forever!

Actually, they're not generics(ok, technically they were in almost every form of media so far), but team Reflector! Let's hear it for Spectro, Spyglass, and Viewfinder!!! http://www.tfu.info/subgroup/subgroup1.htm#refl

I chose to specifically ask for all three in their toy forms because while Reflector did have clones in the original show, they would look way to similar and you couldn't tell them apart. Also I didn't know whether to go for a hive mind or a single perspective with Reflector's dialogue, so having the other two worked whichever way you view them.

My view(which was pretty simple I guess) was that the Autobots were ticked. Think about it, their old leader for MILLIONS of years was dead, as well as a lot of their old friends and commrades, and some new guy who was just a punk kid previously tries to come in and tell them what to do, even though they have a very distince tactical advantage considering the Decepticons are exhausted, leaderless, and probably have very little morale. So while Rodimus is preaching peace(which I believe he was, hence why they acted when he was off-planet) the old Season 1 and 2 guys do what they've wanted to do for a long time, which is clean house. Maybe Shockwave fought back a little too hard, killed yet another Autobot while trying to capture him, and they were just pushed over the edge, and went to the extreme. Plus, Shockwave was considered dead anyway, whether a crazed Autobot does it or Unicron makes no difference, cause this is Fan-fiction.

Is it me, or is that Prowl some where in the back of the panel that has a dead shockwave.
