Because in "City Of Steel" Optimus was recycled into an alligator.

I've never read "City of Steel," (and probably never will) so thanks for clearing that up! Wonder what it would be like to have a Prime who's alt mode was a 'gator...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It's actually a (pretty ugly) G1 cartoon episode
Wait, wasn't there an Alligator Megatron toy in Beast Wars?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yup, Mega was a gator. If Primal had been a gator, Beast Wars would have been... different.

Gorgeous Art!
I must say, I can't remember what Crosswise Japanese name from Galaxy Force is anymore...

He was called Autovolt

F**k Yeah! Crosswise!
I'm assuming he shares a body type with Jazz? Heavily modified, of course.
That Croc... From the G1 episode where Megs decides to steal New York City and cut Prime into pieces, right? It used OP's body and, well, scraps to make it originally. I guess Scrapper still had the parts left over
"Recycle! The possibilities are Endless!"
Great job, guys!

This is the reference model we gave to the artist: [link]
He's mostly a Smokescreen repaint but with a new head, rocket lauchers and a leg transformation like the one Jazz had.

Nice work there! Loving the design/drawing and coloration. And the story is great and has potential for expanding.

And there is more coming

I love the art but I'm not sure what's going on in this one. Is this supposed to be how the Decepticon headmasters were created, or was it the Headmasters damaged and turned into something else, or am I barking up the wrong tree entirely?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
This is our version of how the three guys that will eventually become headmasters were created, they were already existing decepticons when we first saw them in "The Rebirth".

Gotcha. Why is Skullcruncher explicitly some sort of frankenstein collection of parts and the others not though? That was what confused me, I didn't quite understand why. I mean, he doesn't /look/ like a monsterous fused mass of parts, so I was thinking it was supposed to be something else.

A big inspiration for this story was this pic by [link]
He made this trio into robotic versions of the classic universal monsters, if we only had an analogue for the mummy...

So that's how crosswise came to earth in cybertron
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No, it isn't. This is based on G1, not Cybertron.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I know, but it is about what it would be like
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
is right, this is a "what if" story, showing how a G1 version of Crosswise would have come to Earth in the old cartoon show. The mention of "Cybertron" in the last panel is a reference to planet Cybertron, but is always a nod to the Cybertron show.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Again, no it isn't.
We already know how the Cybertron version of Crosswise came to Earth, and it was nothing like this.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
In this version it is, because it's based on the american cartoon continuity, this is the origin of the characters that would eventually become headmasters in "The Rebirth".
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yes I know
but I didn't know crosswise was a G1 character
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
He wasn't, this is a sort of "what if" story.

Now THIS is a Mosaic! Love the art. Love the concept. Love Scrapper's gleefully sadistic dialogue.

Don't worry, there is more coming

Hauntingly Familiar ... the Aligator Con from "City of Steel" that is so cool
Go Crosswise ... great Job

Excellent!
A great way to feature characters from other continuities!

Crosswise! <333 Haha, I recognized him right off the bat, though it would be better if he teamed up with Evac.

Lotsa fun, this one! And JT turns in a blinder on art duties. This guy needs to get more official gigs!

Beautiful art in this one. Nice eco friendly message, too.

Glad to see the famed Monster Hunter from Transformers: Cybertron make his G1 debut!

A little behind the scenes, this is the reference model we gave Jeremy: [link]
Of course he improved it greatly when he translated it to his own detailed style.

So G1 Crosswise is influenced by Smokescreen with a touch of Jazz, huh? Nice touch.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, since the Crosswise toy has repainted into Smokescreen and Jazz, I thought if it'd have been the other way around the Smokescreen mold would have been used in G1, with a tough of Jazz transformation scheme just to add variety to the already overused Fairlady mold. By the way, his color scheme is based on the 10th Anniversary gold/black edition of the car: [link]

I love the mix of G1 and Cybertron/Galaxy force going on here^^
