In the original cartoon the Constructicon characters never
did get a definitive origin. In their first appearance it was said they were created
on Earth after the Autobots and Decepticons crash landed. Another episode
showed them years before the Transformers came to Earth on Cybertron in a
flashback sequence as neutral characters before Megatron turned them evil. And
yet another flashback sequence showed eight of them (there were only six of
them) around a table as the creators of Megatron. This joke is another one the
fans like to throw around, and that’s the entire premise of the first three
panels of this strip.
The rest of the panels were just my excuse to re-do the
first strip using photoshop to create a space background and show the
characters in a better scale as they were seen in the 1986 movie. Skywarp (the
black and purple jet just up above Megatron in panel 4) is shown without most
of its accessories as an homage to the TF2005 Funnies Moderator Buzzbeak who
created ‘Incomplete Skywarp’ for his own comics. I think out of the three
‘ghost’ visions, Cliffjumper’s is my favorite just based on the dialogue
between him and Megatron!
