wada sez: A spooky little ghost story starring obscure Pretender nobodies Sky High and Submarauder, inspired by Sky High’s More than Meets the Eye profile, which in turn was inspired by his original motto: “Imagination is the key that unlocks the chains of reality.” Marshall’s remastered version of this strip from his Tales From The Matrix Keeper zine is included below, along with clean inks.

TF Surge: Broadside only has the aircraft carrier altmode and is considered a titan. He's somewhat less useful than titans with flying or land-based altmodes, but he's decked full of huge guns that can fore far inland. Feeding him is deemed worth it despite the large amounts of energon he requires.

He's killed during the war by a Decepticon submarine squad led by Submarauder.

Damn.

Yes

I love Lander so much.

Hilariously, Gilmer, the one Lander is fighting in root mode and the Japanese version of Submarauder, has no idea what dating is. Therefore, Lander watched humans dating, said "I want to try that", and never looked back.

Listen, man, you’re not wrong about the Speedia but I can’t help but think you don’t actually want power returned to the proletariat.

Transformers: Mosaic #340 - "Heroes"

wada sez: (chuckles) I’m in danger. For over a week, I’m going to be serialising the “Human Component” strips by Iván Mas, which each focus on a different character from the Japanese Transformers cartoon Super-God Masterforce. A curious fandom titbit is that, while the Japan-originated continuations of the G1 cartoon were never broadcast in English, they were translated and dubbed into Spanish, giving them surprising prominence in Spanish-speaking pockets of the fandom. Thing is, I haven’t seen a single episode of Masterforce, so take my annotations with a big fat pinch of salt. Luckily, this first strip by Carlos Oliveros basically serves to provide a dramatis personae and acquaint readers with the conceit of Masterforce as laid out in its first episode. The Autobot and Decepticon Pretenders arrive on Earth in its distant past, and over the course of history the Autobots successfully seal away the Decepticons, inspiring humanity’s myths. In the present day, however, the Decepticons have escaped to wreak havoc anew! Gasp! This strip was dedicated to the memory of the lead writer of both Masterforce and Victory, Hiroyuki Hoshiyama. Weirdly, in the commentary, artist Mas seems to talk as if this was intended as an IDW strip, despite there being absolutely nothing in the strip itself to present it as anything other than a direct adaptation of the anime? Anyway, it seems to me that the Mosaic editors didn’t really know what to do with the “Human Component” strips, which made limited use of sequential storytelling, focused on an extremely obscure series, and were being produced at a startling rate. Mas had intended for them to be interspersed with other strips of his, but collaborators would result in delays; in the end, the Mosaic editors more or less paced them out between other strips by other creative teams, but I’ve decided to lump them together for ease of reading. And because I’m a freak, I’m tagging all the characters under their original Western names; Bomb-Burst is here called Blood (because he’s a vampire), Skullgrin becomes Dauros (a corruption of “tauros”, i.e. bull), and Submarauder becomes Gilmer (because he’s a fish with gills). A huge quantity of teasers and behind-the-scenes material is included below the break, along with my massaged machine translation of Mas’ own commentary for the strip.

Bullhorn, Minerva & Mega

Buster, Hydra & Giga

Shūta & Lightfoot

Clouder & Cancer

I'm not sure how the idea of making a mosaic of these characters came up, but the truth is that I consider Masterforce by nature of the characters, chapters, drawings, plot, variety, etc, it’s the best Transformers series that has been made and certainly I think it has enormous potential.

In contrast to this maybe that's why I'm surprised by the fact that outside Japan there is almost nothing of this theme, and almost everything we find is from the 80's, a shame, but I thought it was a good way to introduce the subject in the IDW-verse, even if it is in an UNOFFICIAL way, but at least it will see enough people who may be curious about the series, they can see it and maybe they will like it.

Hopefully in the not too distant future we will be able to see something of these characters.

The concept of transformer presented here is very different from what we are used to, it is a very japanese concept, but not worse, it is simply different, in this aspect the mosaic is more as you can see, a kind of introduction to the characters and setting the scene than anything else, but as a first point of contact I think it's fine, there is another Masterfroce on the way, I hope you can see it soon.

how is Alana’s beastmen form? Is it similar to her g1 mermaid appearance or are you gonna play around a bit?

No, not really anything like her G1 appearance at all. I was thinking of @artsy-hobbitses answers regarding beastman shifting and I personally can't think of a reasonable way for a bipedal beastman to shift into a classical finned lower half mermaid.

Instead, she looks like this:

She has extra spines of cartilage under her forearms and along her spine that emerge when she shifts, the webbing between her fingers extends, pink mottling shows up on her skin, plus her feet widen with the webbing between her toes extending as well.

Yeah, she's a river dolphin beastman.

(Note: Submarauder shifts similarly.)
