the art's nothing to write home about (no offense guys ), but a Mosaic featuring Sureshot?
pretty awesome.
i really love this Targetmaster. he was my first and only TM. my cousin from there in the US sent this to me in a package of American goodies when i was younger, and even without its Targetmaster buddy, i was smitten with this toy. he was pretty solid, and though articulation was limited, he had a very fun transformation and a very cool looking alt mode (try futuristic dune buggy).
a darn shame i lost it when we moved. that character had so much nostalgic value for me back then, even now. so many thanks to Blueshift and Fullcrum for this wonderful Mosaic!
awesome work guys!

I'm wondering if they might have fewer viewer problems by using some of the "internet standbys" like ImageShack or PhotoBucket (although I can see it fine myself).
Anyhoo. I *like* the art, personally. Nothing wrong with "cartoony", IMHO, and this is good cartoony, with some nice detail. Plus it added to the dark humor of it for me ("Oh, look, mines!")
...and I still like the Evil Smirk.

Wow, that was constructive.

If anyone is listening, or taking requests, please do a Triggerhappy story. I love the con target masters.
On a side note, Misfire would be a great comedy story.

I'm also really flattered that every comment has been uniformly positive. Save for this one:

Don't get me wrong, I'm a big fan of criticism. No-one is perfect and everyone can stand to improve. But... this comment tells me nothing. Yes, you are free to dislike it, but don't just leave a jerk-like comment. Be constructive, say *what* about the script was poorly done.

Another nice piece.

The art style isn't what I'm used to seeing, but it has a certain charm and appeal about it, so I think it's good.
Yep, topnotch all around .

That was so funny and unexpected.
The look on poor Sureshot's face is classic.

I but... I... but...
Anyway, this is Slugslinger's toy if you are curious http://www.tfu.info/1987/Decepticon/Slu ... linger.htm
I... don't see how Slugslinger's face is 'stupid', but please enlighten me

He was my all-time favorite TF Toy growing up and I still have him proudly displayed right next to Masterpiece Prime! I was always disappointed that we didnt see more of him other than in season 4.
The story was great but like most of the others here I didnt care for the art. It was a different style and nice but this story I really felt could have been better represented with the more "realistic" art.

zemper wrote:LOL, looking at the art i can see that you guys even included the tab hole at the front of Sureshot's face where the orange spoiler connects to when it transforms into alt mode. great detail there! don't let the negatives spoil you down, you got a great story in there. keep it up.
Thanks. Oh yes, I absolutely love having little toy details on Transformers. thats half the fun!
And yes, Slugslinger is a huge dick. Some people said they disliked it because it is a 'pro Decepticon' piece. Firstly, that's a silly attitude, and secondly, that's missing the point. Slugslinger gets a heroic narrative voice, and yet his actions are anything but. Really, he's probably the most deluded in the strip

but the story is great. captures his motto and first sentence of his tech specs bio perfectly. i didn't see anybody here disliking it because it was a pro decepticon piece. pro decepticon pieces tend to be well liked amongst fans.

I loved the narrative aspect of this piece and the simpler style grew on me after looking it over a time or two more. For me, the whole thing was a sinister barrel of fun. Great Job.

I didn't intend it to be a rude comment, so my appologies if you felt that way. It was nothing more then simple critisizim, take it and leave it as that. I hope to see something else that will change my opinion. If you'd like me to brake it down a touch more, the art I felt was very weak, lacking structure. The script to me felt the same. Not very rational of thought from someone like Slugslinger.
Again, don't think I'm trying to bring you down, if any thing I hope this motivates you to do better.
