I just can't find many mosiacs of the Unicron Trilogy. It's mostly G1, Animated, or less frequently, Beasties (Better Known as Beast Wars)

Why does one of the very few Armada mosaics have to be so DEPRESSING!! =.C

Depressing? Or merely unresolved?

I think ending the page with Smokescreen still wandering about in his snowy landscape leaves the story hanging with a certain air of hope. And given how it turns out... yeah, Ol' Smokie will be back! Just... not as we knew him. Maybe.

Fair enough!

And I assume he'd be back in his Hoist body, but I guess we'll never know.

hde2009 In reply to CabooseSP [2011-03-05 02:58:17 +0000 UTC]

That's my assumption.

Somebody elsewhere suggested that this strip should get a companion piece to tell that side of the story. I hadn't considered it, but I sure do like the idea...

Well done. This has one of the best stories in the Mosaic series. I know nothing of Armada, but it even drew me in.

Tramp-Graphics [2011-03-03 21:59:05 +0000 UTC]

Definitely an interesting piece, showing what's going through Smokescreen's mind during his stasis lock.

Duke-of-Luns [2011-03-03 21:48:19 +0000 UTC]

Very well written, and great art too. Has the subject of stasis lock been approached before?

Also, it's been ages since I saw Armada, this takes place shortly after he got slagged protecting some Mini-cons doesn't it?

We-e-eell...

Time for a qualifier, I think. I've actually never seen a single episode of Armada!

Rather, I tried to write a piece that would make a nod to a previous continuity and also stand on its own two feet. I was working here from the continuity of Simon Furman's fantastic Armada comics, where poor ol' Smokescreen meets an untimely pwning at the hands of Megatron.

Plus, I figure I keep bangin' on over at the IDW boards about aspects of Transformers that could be developed more, and how I want to see more drama in the books. At the time I sat down and wrote this one, I had a real feeling that it was probably time to 'put up or shut up'.

Oh, well I've actually not read any of the Armada comic past issue #5! I know it's supposed to be awesome, but I just never got around to buying the TPB's yet.

Anywayz, the moral of the story is Smokescreen gets beat down in either continuity it seems, and this story would fit no matter the preference .

Wow, an Armada Mosaic. Impressive!

Pretty good story to boot. Always interesting to see the Cybertronian version of medical issues. That's what really impressed me about this piece.

fedupN [2011-03-03 16:19:31 +0000 UTC]

Yknow, while I have never bothered to watch much of the RiD-Unicron Trilogy stuff, this is a well enough written/drawn mosaic to stand on its own.
Bravo.

Smokescreen! He's one of my absolute favs )
This is a very interesting idea!! Smokescreen alive, but lost and confused, not at all aware of what is actualy taking place.
