wada sez: For the fourth anniversary of the Transformers: Mosaic project, a very special strip was posted: with a creative team consisting entirely of creatives who did official work for IDW Publishing. Each of the seven characters appearing in the strip was illustrated by a different artist/colorist pair; the credits were given alphabetically, but in the comments, Ed Pirrie gave a list matching the characters to the artists—apparently taken from somewhere on Facebook? Anyway, some of the assignments here hold particular significance. Guido Guidi was a fill-in artist on Last Stand of the Wreckers, which featured Springer, and he’d also drawn the character in All Hail Megatron. Joana Lafuente colored the Perceptor-starring story “Lost & Found”. Milne and Perez illustrated the much-maligned Spotlight: Arcee. Josh Burcham colored Last Stand of the Wreckers, featuring Kup. And finally, Robby Musso's first IDW work was Spotlight: Ultra Magnus. In terms of the writing, most of the interest is in Hot Rod’s thoughts; he’s the only one who refers to Prime as “Optimus”, foreshadowing his own later rise to the rank of Prime. Furthermore, his assertion that he’ll “make this right” is an oblique acknowledgement of a very common interpretation of Prime’s death—that Hot Rod himself was responsible, having interfered with his fight with Megatron. The next strip after this one was also themed after The Transformers: The Movie, so check back tomorrow for that!
