Bummed that Transformers Mosaic has come to an end?
Wish you could find an outlet to submit more of your one-page Transformers comics?
Well - YOU CAN!
Transformers Multiverse is a new fan project tailored to pick up where Mosaic leaves off. The name may be different, but the aim is the same - to give you guys an outlet to get your creative efforts out there, and to network with other fans and talents to produce more comics.
You can find the group here on DeviantArt:
tf-multiverse.deviantart.com/
The group page, under the heading 'Information and Rules' contains a link to the downloadable contributors' pack, which has everything you need to start making comics, as well as full submission guidelines, which we ask that you read in full before sending us anything.
Additionally, you can check out a special edition of the Underbase pod cast, where two of the project's co-ordinators, HdE and Paul Vromen, discuss the project at length with Aimee Morgan. You'll find it here:

All the best, and we look forward to seeing what you come up with!
The Crew.

TF: Bots of Honor - Sign up now!

Bummed that the Transformers: Mosaic transformers-mosaic.deviantart… project has closed down, and wish you still had an avenue for your creative juices? Well, great news!
Transformers: Bots of Honor bots-of-honor.deviantart.com is about to start work on its second volume of work, and we're opening up our doors and calling for anyone interested in contributing to the project to put their hand up. The project has already established itself as its own unique continuity, and this is everyone's chance to help build it even more.
Unlike previous times that we've called for contributors, this time we're looking for writers as well as artists and colorists! Also, the amount of work required by everyone is really dependent on how much they want to put into it – individual stories will range from one to three pages, so there's plenty of opportunity for everyone to participate.
We're hoping to take the real 'community' feel that the Transformers Mosaic project had, and push it even further and build a project the whole community can feel proud of.
Anyone who is interested in contributing to the project simply needs to send an email to bots.of.honor@gmail.com, letting us know in which capacity you wish to participate (writer, artist or colorist).
To get you a little more excited about the project, here's a sneak peak of what's still to come from volume 1;

Podcast with The Underbase
1 min read
Hey all,
Shaun and Josh recently did a podcast with the crew over at The Underbase, where we talked a lot about the Transformers: Mosaic project - how it started, how it grew and ultimately, why it ended. It was a really great opportunity to talk about how the project has evolved over the past five years, and hopefully will shed a bit more light on why it's come to an end.
Head on over to theunderbase.libsyn.com/, listen to the podcast (sorry, it's quite long), and let us know your thoughts here.

The end of Transformers Mosaic

END OF THE ROAD
Well, after five years and over six hundred and fifty individual pieces, we have both decided that the time has come to bring the Transformers: Mosaic project to an end. A number of reasons could be cited for drawing the project to a close, but ultimately, it was never going to last forever. We had a pretty good run, and it's just time to bow out.
It's been a true honor to watch the project which began as a humble collaboration on the IDW Forums grow to become a fandom institution, and even it's own genre of Transformers storytelling. The project enjoyed incredible support from the wider Transformers community, and even the stewards of the franchise itself. We've had the blessed opportunity to work with some talented and passionate people, and even played a small part in launching a few professional careers.
So, what does this mean for anyone currently working on a submission for the project?
Well, first off, the 'Transformers the Movie - Special Edition' sub-project is no longer a stand-alone entity, and any pieces that were part of it, would now become regular submissions.
There are still a few completed pieces in the pile, and they will continue to be released as usual. These should take us through to the end of June 2012, so any other pieces that are completed and submitted before this time, would be released an included under the 'Transformers: Mosaic' banner.
After that time, any other pieces would be the responsibility of the creative team to release themselves. We do ask that any of these pieces, do not include the 'Transformers: Mosaic' logo, and are not advertised as such.
Obviously, this is not the end of Transformers fan-fiction. The project has spawned a number of other similar projects, just as TF: Mosaic itself sprang out of inspiration from an earlier one. There are many dedicated people in the community to keep telling their own tales. As a wise man once said, "It never ends".
Thanks again to everyone who has; written, drawn, colored, lettered, commented on or just supported a Mosaic. This project truly was by the fans, for the fans. Take a bow, all of you.
It's been an amazing five years, and we were lucky to be a part of it. We now look forward to where the creative community will go from here. Now get out there and write and draw the future.

So, MTMTE and RiD comics!
2 min read
Heya Mosaicons!
Today saw the launch of IDW Publishing's awesome new Transformers ongoing comic series, Robots in Disguise, hot on the heels of their OTHER awesome new comic series, More Than Meets The Eye!
We think both of 'em are just incredible, and have to seriously recommend checking both of these books out-- especially to all you folk who seem to profess an interest in sequential Transformers storytelling!
We'd also like to send a couple of special shoutouts to the full-time artist on RiD, Andrew Griffith glovestudios.deviantart.com/, and to the colourist of the upcoming ReGeneration One series, John-Paul Bove! http/wordmongerer.deviantart.c… Both of these outstanding artists were long-time Mosaic contributors before getting their breaks on official Transformers projects. I'm sure we can all agree that we're proud to see both of these guys getting full-time gigs working on properties that are near and dear to us all. Cuz honestly, that's the only kinda folk who SHOULD get those kinda gigs!
Anyway, here's some peeks at what all the yammerin's about:
Robots in Disguise preview: www.seibertron.com/transformer…
ReGeneration One Simon Furman interview, with new preview art: www.comicbookresources.com/?pa…
So yeah, bascially, please support all this terrific new Transformers goodness by picking up/pre-ordering from your local comic shop, or buying digital from places like Comixology.com: www.comixology.com/search?sear…
Enjoy!
