NICE!! Like the Call of Cthulu inspired Mosaics, the art matches the dialogue and setting wonderfully. Waiting for the next bit.
What could POSSIBLY go wrong with trying to summon forth the half-dead tortured essences of sparks into a vessel whose strength is on par with Optimus Prime?
...*facepalm* Oh, this can't end well.

Thanks, but we're going in a slightly different direction: Hot Rod won't be used as a vessel

OOOOOOOOHhhhhhh I can't wait to see what happens next!

S'all cool stuff - I'm particularly digging the 'is it paint or marker pens?' stuff going on in the art.

The artist sez thanks! It's the magic of Photoshop...

I can honestly say some of the most fun days I've had lately have been spent sat in front of Photoshop!
I'm addicted to textuires and gradients now. I've started to see them behind my eyelids at night...

Oh yes, I know how that feels like, I myself can't stop adding rust to everything...

We should admit: we have a problem!
Say - is it just me, or does finding new Photoshop brushes turn out to be a major obssession for EVERYBODY who uses it?

New brushes? Nahhh, I'm pretty sure I can stop whenever I want... *withdrawal shakes*

The crazy thing is, I've acually found that less is more.
These days, I pretty much use the standard Photoshop presets, plus a few painterly brushes I have , and one or two specialised ones for finer details. At one point I had literally hundreds of brushes on my hard drive - but some of them hardly ever got used!

You can actually do pretty creative stuff with some minor adjustments to the default brushes. Even though, yes, I've had my fair share of on-line brush scavenging too!

I'm literally in awe of the software - I mean, I learned how to do the basics for comics pretty quickly in Photoshop. But I'm continually surprised at the new tricks and things you can do with it. It's like Pandora's Box - things just keep jumpin' out of it!

Indeed, never a dull day when messing with Photoshop!

very interesting but isn't vorath mindwipe's head?is he talking to himslef. i thought when a headmaster joins with a transformer they become one mind. so confused.

Ops, sorry, I got it now: you mean in panel 3.
This is Sunbow cartoon continuity: for now, Nebulan and Transformer do not merge completely, and maintain some individuality traits in their relationship.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
In robot mode, Vorath is Mindwipe's head. But when Mindwipe turns into bat, Vorath is supposedly free to roam.
More or less like the Autobot Headmasters, when they turn into vehicles.

Interesting. I hope there will be a continuation to this mosaic.

Thanks, it's already in queue

Think of it in the horror movie analogy. The ghosts need a certain type of host-body to return, and whilst Prime (cf old and experienced wizard). would be ideal, he's too strong. So they're targetting the younger, less experienced host-body Hot Rod (young apprentice)

Wow, it's an honor to be compared to Geoff Johns

Hey, I'm a DC-head, Franco. I calls 'em as I sees 'em.

Oo, this is exciting, I can't wait to read the next part!

The artwork here is kind of rough, but I like it! Great use of blacks!

"Lord of Kobol"?
MY GOD ... It's a Battlestar Galactica crossover!!
I'm intrigued by the story...

Just a nod... can you find two more of them, in panels 3 and 4?
The idea is that Nebulos could be a lost Colony, given their issues with AIs and robots.

Well "airelon" sounds like "Carilon" from Classic Battlestar...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
And it's a variant name for Aerilon (Ithink it's the italian version)

Oooh, color me intrigued. Mindwipe's an interesting character. Good dialogue and the art is very interesting.

Because Hot Rod was a Matrix bearer, and has an affinity for it. Hence his transformation into Rodimus Prime when he was bestowed with the Matrix.

And, to quote Botcon, he is a Matrix Templar, now

Transformers meets Hammer Horror... I think I like that!
