wada sez: I’ll just leave Pirrie’s summary of what’s going on here: “The human, Hunter O'Nion, had already been turned against his will into a Headmaster component for the Autobot Sunstreaker by Scorponok. The pair were eventually physically disconnected, but when Bombshell learned of the human he kidnapped him and used him as a kind of 'hub' to hack into the Autobot defense systems. This scene is only really meant to illustrate a possibility of what that must have been like for Hunter, since it all happened off-panel.” Sunstreaker and Ratchet appear in vehicle mode in the first panel. Hunter’s distorted mind-state is represented using washed-out newsprint coloring, to distinguish it from the more stylistically-modern present. Further comments from this strip’s creators on deviantART give some context for its creation. Priest said: “(Evil laughter.) I like Hunter, but I like Bombshell more. Besides, Ed and me already were super-nice to Hunter and brought him back in our last Mosaic together! The lad can handle some cruelty.” Pirrie added: “My own interpretation of the story seems to be different to everyone else's. I never really saw it as Bombshell deliberately torturing Hunter's mind. I saw it that Bombshell was just sadistically going about whatever he needed to do to get into the Autobot systems, and Hunter's subconcious was periodically escaping into this fantastical happy place as a coping mechanism. Maybe this is why I considered it a companion piece to that Verity Mosaic (in which we discover Hunter's mind has survived by retreating into cyberspace) when even the writer, Mike, did not.” Priest responded: “Yeah, it can be interpreted either way, really. Heh, this and "Still Life" were written months and months apart, which is why I never considered them companion pieces, but they do work well together, don't they?” Pirrie clarified: “Whereas I first read them back to back, and that was the natural conclusion for me! I guess I'll always be inclined to think of tham as a pair because of that.” See below for clean inks.

wada sez: Canonically, Hunter O’Nion died in the final main issue of All Hail Megatron. The horror of this strip comes from its suggestion that Hunter in fact survived, continuing to exist in a tortured state for years. The phrasing of Verity’s narration, which alludes to then-unseen future adventures, is reminiscent of similar narration from Simon Furman’s pseudocanonical Mosaic strip “Hail And Farewell”. Priest and Pirrie returned for another strip on this theme, which I've bumped up to tomorrow—peep below for a preview, along with Verity’s character model and some clean inks.

the exorcism was done without alison or mike's consent. that's their house, and betty performed an exorcism without asking either of them. betty betrayed their trust by doing something they both explicitly didn't want, which she had no right to do, and this has absolutely no emotional fallout, even though she literally went behind their backs! especially if alison and/or mike aren't christian, that seems not just cruel but also pretty insensitive and disrespectful.
