Chase
Chasing The Cards
The Transformers: Mosaic project is a fan-based project to get artists and writers working together to create fancomics. It grew out of a similar but much smaller project on the forum The Allspark which I was part of. Below is my piece, entitled ‘Chasing The Cards’ which was later released as a Mosaic. I did the writing and the art, and my friend Mark did the colours. His amazing colouring saves my art because really, I can’t draw!
Personally I’d like to have rewritten it because it doesn’t really flow all that well, but it is here in its original form for the sake of posterity.

The original 2 years or so of Transformers were taken straight from Japan. Realistic vehicle modes were built, often using quality die-cast metal. But by the time of the dreaded Throttlebots it was mostly American ingenuity creating these things. Like the above cars – look at the Landrover and it’s lying windscreen – it has no glass, just stickers of a scene. Unlike the other one. Why should the Landrover get special treatment, I don’t know. Perhaps everyone thought he was tough-ass Brawn instead of wussy Rollbar?
But today I shall focus my irrational hatred at the guy on the left – Mr so-called Chase. At first, he looks perfectly innocent – but NO. Look… closer:
