Story is poor, however. I don't feel your excuse of "there is only so much we can do in one page" is valid, other authors have been able to fit much more compelling stories into a single page.
This is the writer speaking here.
First off - this mosaic is one part of three. There will be a prequel to this and there will be a sequel to this.
Second - Why this timeline? Well, this is the part that immediately grabs the attention. Also, the first part would be too slow to be entertaining by itself and the last part would be even more confusing to start with.
Third - the plot makes no sense? Ok, there is only so much we can do in one page, but thanks to Paul's help, we've kept the best parts on the page. There is some 'close' reading required here as each sentence serves a purpose. The servant here is the underground AI that Megs and Starscream find. As the AI itself says, it is there to control tunnel and defensive measure access. Needless to say that more mobility and firepower for the Decepticons is a bad thing.... And yes the other parts will complement the story, still some 'reading between the lines will be inevitable as we can only do so much with 3 panels.
Fourth - We're keeping this as close to the G-1 cartoon episode style as we can. So we're not here exactly to really add new things to the characters, just make them be who they were in the original cartoons we so dearly loved as kids. As such, the AI that Megs makes his servant is a plot device, not a character to be fully fleshed out. And the idea of machines giving orders to less sophisticated machines has its allure.
Fifth and final - MaximusRevolver posted: " Megatron continues his quest to make everything his bitch " This. Just this.
