Your comics are always interesting. Animated is always fun, but this has to be my favorite one you've done to-date.

Really an excellent Mosaic. The best application of Unicron's scale I have ever seen, and a nice Green Lantern/Alan Moore homage to boot !

I don't think unicron's eye could be that big, that it would take months to walk across?

Friggin' planet. Eye the size of a country.

i dont get the whole planet transforming into a robot, or a city transforming into a robot because metroplex would still be a ant on unicron.

Brilliant storytelling. Great narrative and art as well!

I bet Unicron is thinking "What is this parasite walking on my eye?!

The light sources and the coloring on the second panel is all over the place! The writing stands up well, though. It will be (and seems to already have been) well received.

Very nice, reminds me of the old UK Marvel TF comics perfectly.

A clever connection of two characters worthy of the boundless imagination of their creator, mr Furman.

Wow this is a really good one. I like how you drew The Fallen, and how his throne looks like him from ROTF.

Interesting. Good on you for remembering the Student, though I'm not sure he was ever properly a disciple of the Matrix, or if he was just a dude who hung around Rodimus Prime's hospital bed.
I really do like how Dreamwave The Fallen is sitting on Revenge of the Fallen The Fallen. I like the art in general. The linework reminds me of the better linework in the old comics - freer and not as clunky as a lot of the linework in modern Transformers comics. Also, a more generous use of ink to indicate shadows. The colours are good, too!
I do sort of think that saying that the Matrix is nothing and that Unicron is out there, somewhere, cheapens the sacrifice of Rodimus Prime, who lost his youth, lost his friends, lost his /body/ at times when Unicron possessed him, and was forced to suffer accelerated ageing, all to keep Unicron caged within the Matrix. It's like... he went through all that hardship and suffering, and you're saying it was for nothing?
Unless, of course, the Student is on Unicron's eye, but Unicron is still inside the Matrix, so the Student is just really tiny, and The Fallen is somewhat lying.
While the message in the end is compelling, I am not sure it particularly fits into the theme about lessons about /EVIL/. This is more a nihilistic message than an evil message, per se.

Thanks for the comments there! The line about the Matrix being nothing is from the Fallen, not the authorial voice, and should be taken as the Fallen mocking the Student's 'credentials' as it were. Or maybe he is telling the truth, who knows!
I did toy with the idea of having everything inside the Matrix, but in the end decided it was too confusing for the average reader, hence the Fallen's line about the Matrix being unable to hold Unicron, for all the continuity buffs!

Yeah, I know that The Fallen could be lying or have a warped perception of reality or whatever.
Everybody look at me, I'm in the Matrix!
...is that a stock photo of lightning in the background in the first panel?

If only Unicron could blink.
Love the colors. Very British comics retro.

An interesting callback to the UK comics. Love it!

Wow, another great job from writer Matt Marshall; I love the idea one could wander Unicron's eye for months and not know what it was.

So THAT'S what happened to The Fallen's face. Pretty smooth cut. Kickass moustach Unicron's rocking. Really, this is a great Mosaic, congradulations.

why does the student wen't to the fallen and not to galvatron
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, the Fallen is Unicron's loyal servant, Galvatron never really served him, he always rebelled.

This was one great joy from frame to frame! Very nice storyline and very well panelled!!! Kudos to the artists!

That's effin great! And I loce the dramatic narration. It gives it an old school vibe, but also the concept of this story reminds me of something Lovecraftian.
Like the movie Fallen cameo aswell.

Marvelous. I notice Unicron's optic "pupil" moves to follow the... uh, pupil?
*is shot*
I love The Fallen's last two panels. Special effects, go!
This reminds me of a quote from Kagato in Tenchi Muyo when he says, "And compared to the infinite will of the universe, human emotions amount to little more than dust..."

Ooh, The Student. Serves him right.
Very nice continuity juggling here!

Serves him right, demanding audience with something bigger than his ego!

Is the Fallen sitting on a throne made out of the movie Fallen?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Nope. Read and learn: [link]
Now *that* is an obscure character to feature. Awesome!
