Was checking out the Mosaics on IDW and thought this one was really cool:
Which I thought was quite reminiscent of Wildman and Sullivan in their UK pomp, and plus I really, really liked the TF comic around the introduction of the Head Masters stage.
So I checked out the artist's deviant page, which was groovy, and found in his faves this little nod to the Earthforce arc, which was mint - this is quite frankly a)clever and b) a little bit lush:
Same bloke that did the Bludgeon / Carnivac one also did this, which makes me purr...

I quite enjoyed this mosiac. It's not often I like the 'funny' ones

Heh heh heh. Good ol' Blu--Silverstreak.
Some fine artists are coming to their right with these Mosaics tho, we might actually be seeing more of them in a few years, methinks.
In that painted one, is the big red guy Scattershot of the Technobots? He was always a bad mutha'. Thought it was Blaster first of course tho.

Love that Bludgeon/Carnivac pic...

And the Headmasters too. Didn't this guy used to have a website? I seem to recall he even did a few TF entries for the MTMTE books.
The Mozaic, though, is (s)crap story-wise. I mean, Pointblank says he's going to let the Con live, and Misfire goes like "NOOO! You can't!" - He's a bad aim, not a mentally retarded suicidal maniac! Geez. Reason I awoid most Mosaics... seems like 10-year olds are writing scripts for beautifully drawn pages.
The Bluescreen... erm Silver... whatever one is ACE, though.

Lovely art in all the samples. Kinda makes me feel nostalgic.
Anyone know if Earthforce has had - or will get - any coloured reprints?

Only coloured reprint of any of the Earthforce stuff I've ever seen was the Carnivac/Mayhems arc which was reprinted in one of the annuals at the time.
I doubt there'll be any coloured UK releases, as all the old Marvel UK stuff that was B&W seems to be being reprinted in B&W (Earthforce, DWM, etc.), although saying that, IDW have reprinted some DWM in colour for the US audiences, so who knows.
