Now I check the comic, those aren't neutrals, they're Mini-Cons. The heads of the Mini-Cons Megatron's holding later match some of the dudes in the crowd.

Since the assembled Cyber Citizens are neither [[Decepticon]]s nor [[Mini-Con]]s this line of dialogue begs the conclusion that the general citizenry belong to some other group — or, perhaps more likely, NO group. In other words, they're probably Neutrals.
 
One might even interpret the ""Where are the Autobots?!" line to mean that the Autobots are a special team. It could be that in Dreamwave's Armada comics the term "Autobot" specifically denotes a member of the military or police force... or perhaps in this continuity the Autobots are [[G.I. Joe (team)|G.I.

Revision as of 11:32, 11 July 2012

Neutrals are Transformers who have renounced the idea of factions or refused to take part in the Civil War. While some Neutrals resist joining a faction by choice, some defining themselves not by faction but by world, as the war drags on, the majority are those who are unsuited to combat, such as the Empties.

While "Neutral" is the Autobots' term for them, the Decepticons prefer to call them "target practice".
