TRANSFORMERS MOSAIC: "Trained"

Interesting take on the character, who, outside of "Triple Takeover," was more of a grunt than anything else. Does run somewhat contrary to his portrayal in "Devestation," but as another pointed out, this was probably written before that series' release.

Megatron should have ripped out his guts, I'm sure it would have been more effective.

Awsome art and story. The cons biggest weakness is their lack of teamwork. If they were all on the same page they would crush the bots.

This was a very good Mosaic tile all-round.

Personally, I think that Megatron would constantly monitor his warriors' thoughts, not just from time to time. He wouldn't need a large machine in HQ - he could do it remotely through tiny robot drones linked to him by wi-fi.

In the long run, the Decepticon cause is doomed.

If they all do what they want to - fight each other constantly - the Autobots will beat them.

If they do what they don't want to - cooperate - they will effectively become like Autobots! The cooperative ethos will make them care for each other. This will then extend to caring for other groups.

I think this is my favorite so far. Very well done. I really like the expression on Astrotrains face at the end.

That was one of the best

Like you'll see a lot of that outside of a Gestalt team. (Even then isn't it a bit iffy?)

Decepicons are a lot like Sith, in that Decepticons are prone to turn on each other, just as a Dark Lord's apprentice is apt to turn on his or her master should they live long enough. Even Vader did it, though for different (and better) reasons than he'd envisioned...

I like Astrotrain's characterization here. Gives him some nice depth.

The art seems odd to me but I still like it and feel it works.

are these gettin better and better or is it just me
