The saga of Seeds Of Deception presents a Finback Short Story (a prequel to "The Balance, Crack'd"). Art and story idea by Lau, texts and lettering by Franco, edits by J.Z. and project by Peter.
NOTES See S.o.D. main index for more stories and profiles. "Inertium" is the fluid that, in this particular continuity, composes most of Cybertron's liquid bodies (oceans, seas, rivers). Like Finback, Splashdown and Waverider have an aquatic alt mode. For more racism toward Primitives, see Mosaic Secret Shame. Mixmaster, alchemy and the cackling habit: all from his G1 Marvel Profile. Bugly's holobook is a nod to "Turning The Tide", a S.o.D. project by Ibai Canales. It is also a nod to another S.o.D. saga, Fate Of The Tank Force by Christian Ludwig. The removal of Primitive facets is a direct nod to Beast Machines (Megatron and Savage Noble). Finback featurs now a monster body, based on his G1 toy Pretender Shell. Fistfight and Shockwave have been working on morphing protocol for some time. See also Mosaic Replacement, Short Story: Survival Instinct and The Thief, Revealed (coming soon). Finback's tragicomic saga continues in Short Story: The Balance, Crack'd. Page 3 dialogues were updated to better fit Finback's personal history.
