In panel 1, our main characters get to use their alt mode. The ships in the background are based on those seen in G1 Marvel US #77 (and of course they are the ones that the Decepticons sabotaged: they cannot take off).
In panel 2, more of the hideous creations that Primus locked away eons ago, as revealed in G1 Marvel US #76.
In panel 3, a revelation: Junkion tribes roam on Cybertron. The Junkions were never shown in Marvel US issues (save the odd #43), but they did appear in the alternate future of the Marvel UK issues.
The friendly mech in panel 3 is a Lunar created by Ibai Canales.
The designs for the insectoids attacking the 2 'bots have been referenced from some of the component mode's of Violen Jiger from TF Zone.

Are you an artist? Did you like this short comic? Would you want to contribute to Act 2? Let us know!!!
Nice work, the line art and the coloration is well done. I always had trouble with the line art in my stuff... Working with traditional dip pens isn't easy. Is it easier to do the line art digitally? Just curious.
Thanks. Yes it probably is easier to do line art digitally if you have the right equipment (tablet, software, etc), as you can fix mistakes, choose canvas size, etc. Although, this line art was done traditionally (as is all of my line art). I really need to invest in a tablet.
