    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:

    Agreed. This is one of the best Mosaics I've read in quite a long time.

    only crit i'd give is on the colouring, there's obviously a really bright light behind prime so megatron shouldn't be in so much shadow when facing him. just a bit more contrast would do it. this would then make prime dark and megatron light, adding to the symbolism and so renforcing the storytelling and emotional impact. quick example of what i mean:

    Fan-fucking-tastic.

    Beautiful art, wonderful dialogue and story. This ranks up there.

    Beautiful summary of Prime and Megatron's differences. The interesting thing is that Megatron seems like a victim here, not only physically because he is at the end of Prime's gun, but psychologically because he has forgotten how to distinguish between good and evil.

    The artwork's lovely and gritty and the colours intense too.

    WOW! This Mosaic is sick - Prime's so badass even when he's being all morally correct.

    I would like to know - is this supposed to be an alternate ending/reality to the fight between Op and Megs at the Battle of Autobot City? Megs kinda hints at it . . .

    Excellent stuff. I'd have preferred the dialogue to be a bit more spread out, so the end would have been more punchy, but that's a very very minor quibble

    Beautiful. May I ask, how did you ink it? Digital or by hand? And if digital, are the lines vectorial?

    Wow. I gotta agree with kjeevahh on the coloring, but that's pretty minor, all things considered.

    Megatron became victim to himself and his twisted ideals, which is certainly the point to the story!

    Shouldn't it be "the difference between you and me"?
