Brilliant work, though one point: if that is Swindle at the end and this is set in the G1 continuity, then Swindle shouldnt exist.
Why?swindle was in G1.The combaticons.

Maybe I'm missing something, Crosshairs, but how's that? In the cartoon, the 5 sparks Starscream took to activate the Combaticons were Decepticon war criminals who's sparks had been removed and were in a storage facility on Cybertron. That is, unless the comics changed that continuity I don't know about...

Were they sparks? I only watched The Combaticons' first episode once and there was a lot of background noise (thank you AA 2011) so i couldnt really hear much at all. Thanks for that info though, ive learned something new

I often wonder however, when someone places a character (swindle) that was post arrival from earth in the G1 cartoon its instantly disagreeable, yet when the same portrayal of another character movie and post movie (ultra magnus) no one bats an eyelid.
need minds be refreshed that this follows comic continuity and whilst officially recognised by Hasbro and idw, it is not taken into consideration when it comes to the entire story arc of transformers. (its like Lucas and star wars novels - a wealth of information at his fingertips, but he has the official right to totally disregard any and ever bit of history/lore brought in by the novels)
anyway - mallets aside - I really love the art in this comic, and the story arc has a nice twist at the end, and definitely rare to see swindle with a very happy look on his face without having his arm twisted (or something blown up)

It kind of seems like Swindle manipulated(?) Iacon Council for the technology's development.

There are well more than one G1 continuity. The cartoon does not take precedence over any of the other G1 worlds.Crosshairs wrote:Brilliant work, though one point: if that is Swindle at the end and this is set in the G1 continuity, then Swindle shouldnt exist.

Not sparks. Personality Components.Vectorshot wrote:Their sparks or brain modules had been extracted. However Starscream stole them brought them back to Earth, and installed them into the forms that we know and love.
Plus, who says this has to take place in the cartoon continuity? Can't it be seen as its own continuity without needing to fit anywhere into canon? It is a fan work, after all.

Also: in the G1 Cartoon, Ratchet's helmet is white, not red. So it could just as easily be from the comic's continuity, and even then, there are several different comic continuities, so... I dunno.... pick one.

This is essentially the G1 cartoon continuity with a LOT of liberties taken by me. For starters, CR technology was retconned into the G1 cartoon via Beast Wars. Ratchet indeed looks like his Marvel comic self, but I prefer that look over his white helmet.
Also, Swindle being here makes sense to me. After all, he was merely given a new body by Starscream, but apart from his spark being stored in a sparkholder/energon cube he was very much alive and could have well been so for the last 9 million years...
Please also pay in mind that he's still a civilian here, hence the lack of faction labels. That goes for old 'Jack as well!

Still, enough dissecting. I liked it!

In fact, why single this mosaic out of all of them? There's plenty that told their own stories without being related to any existing continuity. Why are people nitpicking about this one when its no more special than any others?
