The lack of comic figures is disappointing but on the third party front Maketoys and Mastermind Creations have no problem with creating comic figures. And if comic characters are released by Hasbro at this point, it would probably be in more G1 styled bodies.
My current setup is RtS Rodimus, CW Ultra Magnus, TAV Origin Drift, Gen. Swerve, Gen. Tailgate, Gen. Whirl, Gen. Brainstorm, RtS Cyclonus, Gen. Skids, RtS Perceptor, Classics Mirage, Uninverse Hound, and FOC Blaster.
The last three weren't always present, but they were put in when I took out Prime Rachet and CW First Aid for other displays.
So yeah I think it's just how many crew members you can fit on a shelf, with the stars and co-stars taking priority.

And yeah, I've seen those companies make some comic characters - most of the time though it's either just IDW versions of already-existing characters (like IDW's version of Swerve rather than an IDW-exclusive character like Rung or Nautica), or... Nova Prime. Third party companies seem to adore Nova Prime, it's pretty insane - can't complain mind. Seen any for Rung, Nautica or Velocity?

Or just repaint the Real Gear camera as Rung.

Since unlike a lot of displays like say, G1 Season 1, Transformers Prime Autobots, Beast Wars Predacons etc. it's a little hard to say what objectively counts as a main cast display.

I think the best answer would be that while anyone can do as they wish (like I and many have done), only the toys which have features based on the comic designs would count as an actual lost light display. Like Thrilling 30 Trailcutter would count rather than the CW Trailbreaker.
Gen Whirl would count since his leg design is based on the comics. And yeah I think that means that any Rodimus you include would just be a placeholder for now, which is technically what the case is anyway.
I do have a question though, for the scale of the display, how big should Megatron be? Is Megs as tall as Magnus in the comics? Because if so then the leader could work well, although I do wonder if anything about him reflects any of the details he has in the comic

They're Weak Anthropic Principals, perhaps? In short, they could be the W-D-Maximus_Prime wrote:

Hmm.
Oh. Yeah let's not continue that. Bit close to an actual slur.
On second thought, honorary Lost Lighters is fine
