'''Transformers: Mosaic''' is an unofficial anthology of one-page comic strip stories borrowed from a concept started at [http://www.allspark.com/index.php?set_albumName=album13&amp;option=com_gallery&amp;Itemid=4&amp;include=view_album.php the Allspark message board] and overseen by [[Josh van Reyk]] and [[Shaun Knowler]], who posted their first strip on [[IDW Publishing]]'s official Transformers forum on June 18, 2007. Since then, the Mosaics, which are written and drawn by a large number of contributors (most of whom are [[Fandom|fans]], though a few pros have contributed), have expanded out to almost every Transformers forum online.  

Since October 2007, IDW has printed Mosaic strips as a backup feature in its Transformers comics. Published Mosaic strips to date include:

* '''Rain''', featuring [[Hound (G1)|Hound]] (published in [[Devastation issue 2]])
* '''Reason''', featuring [[Beachcomber (G1)|Beachcomber]] (published in [[Devastation issue 3]])
* '''Ghost in the Machine''', featuring [[Punch|Punch/Counterpunch]] (published in [[Devastation issue 4]])
* '''The Curse''', featuring [[Blurr (G1)|Blurr]] (published in [[Devastation issue 5]])
* '''Feeling Yellow''', featuring [[Sunstreaker (G1)|Sunstreaker]] (published in [[Devastation issue 6]])
* '''Rank''', featuring [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]] (published in [[Spotlight: Grimlock]])
* '''Break Away''', featuring [[Silverbolt (G1)|G1 Silverbolt]] (published in [[Spotlight: Cyclonus]])
* '''The Wait''', featuring [[Scorponok (Movie)|Scorponok]], and '''The Passenger''', featuring [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]] (published in [[Saga of the Allspark|Saga of the Allspark Issue 1]]).
* '''Dark Visionary''', featuring [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]], (published in [[Saga of the Allspark|Saga of the Allspark Issue 2]]).
* '''More Than You Can Chew''', featuring [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]], (published in [[The Reign of Starscream Issue Number Five|The Reign of Starscream #5]]).


In February 2008, [[Simon Furman]] produced a Mosaic titled ''[[Hail and Farewell]]'', which he stated to be [[canon]] — the first Mosaic to be so.<ref>[http://simonfurman.wordpress.com/2008/02/15/mosaic-a-go-go/ Mosaic A-Go-Go]</ref> However, that canonicity was eventually overridden by IDW, as well as stating that, "The Mosaics are all a lot of fun, but they're all not continuity tales."<ref>[http://forum.idwpublishing.com/viewtopic.php?p=81157#81157 The "All Hail Megatron" 20 Questions Q&A Thread]</ref> The stories seen in print so far further carry a disclaimer stating that they are "non-profit-making, independently produced stories by Transformers enthusiasts" and are "not affiliated with Hasbro or IDW Publishing".
