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 while this project has been recognized by IDW Publishing and Hasbro, none of the works presented have been commissioned or solicited by either company. The stories are not official canon, except where noted.
These stories are the result of Transformers enthusiasts taking the time out of their busy days to contribute to a universe they love.
No one has been paid for the production of these stories.

Today's piece is ”A True Leader”. Story and Art by Michal (Rees) Solarz, Colors and Letters by Lindsay (Neko) Smith.

AstroTrain's been playing alot of different hands lately, wonder if it'll lead to something good?

Front Paged and Credited. I'll say it here and in the frontpaged thread, Congrats on more published work Neko.

Is it just me or does Astrotrain look like Armada Smokescreen?

Now that you mention it, he kinda does.

I find it interesting how the interpretation of certain characters differ from person to person. We've already seen one Mosaic("Trained") showcasing Astrotrain's more devious thoughts, much like how he was at times in the cartoon, yet in this piece he is very subserviant. Both can be valid interpretations in my opinion. But anyway...

I think the piece would be slightly better set during Infilitration, right before the Decepticons are walking out to meet Megatron, kind of gives us a slightly deeper reason to why they didn't aid Starscream besides the almost cliche' "Uh oh, we're gonna get vaped if we disobey". Art and coloring are unique and well-done too.

So overall, top-notch stuff as usual .

Hmm... anyone know why every time I post a Mosaic it gets double-posted?

Well, I know that for some reason the mods can't newsify (is that a word?) existing threads any more, so they have to create a duplicate post themselves and newsify that one instead.

Got it in one Jeysie!

I know it's annoying and effectively cuts your readership and comments over two threads, but we are working on getting it all fixed up, believe you me, I can't wait till I can just Newsify other peoples threads rather than re-create them!

Use spell check! Your exceptional talents are easy to be distracted from when words aren't spelled correctly.
