Synopsis

Something's missing...

(Numbers indicate order of appearance.)

Autobots	Decepticons	Humans
Ratchet (1) Prowl (2) Streetwise (6) Wheeljack (7) Optimus Prime (8) Bumblebee (9) Drift (10) Hot Rod (11) Mirage (12) Ironhide (13)	Breakdown (3)	Various Skywatch personnel (4) Major Spike Witwicky (5)

Not only did Don Figueroa overhaul every Transformer in the comic to have new bodies with a movie-inspired feel, but he also designed reinterpretations of the characters' previous IDW bodies in that same experimental style; these call-back designs can be seen on the covers and in the battle scene spread on pages 2 and 3.

Optimus Prime's new body seems to be based on his Classics form.
Breakdown's design uses the Universe Sunstreaker/Sideswipe mold, but movie-fied. He also has his name on his license plate.

The fight scene on pages 2 and 3 seems to be a non-literal image of the conflict on Earth, since it features combatants that could never have met during All Hail Megatron (such as Scorponok, the Dinobots, Runabout and Runamuck, etc.)
