wada sez: Gutcruncher’s profession as a grave-robber stems back to his original Tech Specs. This whole strip ties into the Marvel UK storyline “City of Fear!”; like in that story, the Duocons are depicted more as triple changers. Ed Pirrie has drawn Bulkhead into the crowd in the penultimate panel. Preview, inks, and clean colors below.

wada sez: According to his Budiansky bio, Doublecross’ two heads “never agree on anything”. This strip puts a new spin on that! Mainframe generalises about Doublecross’ “whole subline”, referring to the Monsterbots. Clean inks and colors below.

wada sez: An origin is provided for Ruckus here; he was originally an employee of "Speedway Couriers", and was upgraded into his Triggercon form by the Decepticons after intervening in a shootout. Gherkin observes that he uses his new firepower to "go postal". The barkeeper seen on Elpasos in "Wanted: Galvatron — Dead or Alive!" is seen cowering behind the bar, with a Galvatron wanted poster on the second panel cementing the reference. The spaghetti-western-inspired planet suits the quick-drawing Ruckus. The flaming motorcycle courier stands out as what I can only assume is an OC; the other one appears to be Wreck-Gar. A previous strip also used the same title “Burning Bridges”. Clean colors below.

Transformers: Mosaic #175 - "First They Came"

wada sez: Mainframe is an impersonal Action Master scientist, assisted by his partner Push-Button. Windmill is a Europe-exclusive Action Master Elite. Slamdance’s background cameo here draws on his role as a reporter in War Within: The Age of Wrath, ahead of similar appearances later in IDW’s run. Valvolux is an obscure city on Cybertron, lifted from Ruckus’ original Budiansky profile. Shockwave is perhaps the most notable absence from Megatron Origin, with only his blaster hand sneaking in an easter-egg appearance in issue #2. The title and contents of this strip are, of course, a tasteless reference to the famous 1946 poem of the same name, written by German pastor Martin Niemöller, professing guilt over not speaking out against the Nazis earlier in their rise to power.
