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:

I really liked the concept on this, but felt the execution was lacking somewhat. Were Sideswipe and Sunstreaker really in danger or not? The implication is that he is imagining it, but then we see five stunticon shaped vehicles driving off in the background.

I thought he was imagining it too... but upon rereading, it looks more like the Lamborghini bros. beat off the Stunticons before he got there.

Erm, there's no implication that he's imagining at all is there? What gives you that impression?

I like this one, nice and dynamic and playing very well to what we know about a criminally underused character.

no imagination here...this is the real deal!

Good story!

It's nice to see Trailbreaker getting some attention. So the idea is that he's too old and slow to be of as much use as he'd like, eh? And of course, the hot shot Lambo brothers wouldn't give him the time of day if they did figure that out.

Another nice character piece. Some of these Allspark one-shots like this one are certainly very strong, and easily among the best of the Mosaics, in my opinion.

This makes me excited for a possible Lambo bros/Battlechargers face-off in the ongoing!

Am I a bad person because I found this strip funny? I was so expecting this to be some moral about "slow and steady wins the race" and it turns out to be a shot at Trailbreaker's expense. Twisted Evil
