TF MOSAIC: "DOWN TIME"

Postby Richter » Thu Oct 18, 2007 3:49 am

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:

It should be noted that this project is not in any way officially affiliated with either IDW Publishing or Hasbro. They're just some short stories crafted by your fellow Transformers enthusiasts.

That being said, everyone is welcome to leave comments and whatnot regarding the posted stories. Just bear in mind that no one has been paid for this work. These stories are the result of people taking the time out of their busy days to contribute to a universe they love.


todays piece is called "Down Time", written by Mike (Thunderwing) Priest, art by Liam (Transformers X) Newton & edits by Josh (Richter) van Reyk.

First things first: love the mix of real life and drawn art. Unless it's CG, is that statue of Soundwave CG? Looks really good either way.

Now then, about the story, I don't get it. Is it possible that this takes place during Headmasters in the time-frame between Soundwave's "death" and rebirth as Soundblaster? Cause otherwise, I can't figure out why he's making sculptures of Soundwave.

Oh, and it's awsome the writer used Buzzsaw. For some reason I've always preferred him to Laserbeak after I found out about him(never had either figure). I guess it's because I really like underused characters.

It's like a three-year-old drawing a picture of mommy. But more accurate. And with lasers.

It's an example of the Mosaics using underused story ideas and character backgrounds. Buzzsaw's tech spec described him as an artist.

That. Is. AWESOME! The artwork is top-notch, and it gives me a chuckle. Who knew Buzzsaw loved 'Wave so bad?

Hmm...so it wouild seem that the Cassetticons (or at least Buzzsaw) have a great amount of either respect or glorification for Soundwave. But i fthis is just Buzzsaw, think about Laserbeak.

Great. Simply great.

My vote for the HOF goes to my favorite Transformer, Kup, to the Headmasters (who still need new figures that aren't just the characters without their master components) and to seibertron.com for for being the ultimate TF resource.
