Yummys!

What's going on with Megs in the panel at the end. He looks like he's OD'd or something.

*tut*

I'm guessing by toy colour correlation that the first few panels are about the Fallen.

The Fallen is definitely echoing shades of this fella:

Click on the IDW link pictures, it opens them at about 25%, click on the image and it should open the image in a larger version, which you can zoom in on.

Im not sure who is doing the narration in the beginning. The diction, to me, connotates The Fallen. Whomever it is says "they" and if it was a Decepticon it would have likely said "we."

The Fallen was probably aware of the civil war on Cybertron even though he left Cybertron long before the war started and it wouldnt be out of sorts to say he doesnt favor either current faction.

I think that Jetfire was one of The Fallen's early followers and broke away from him finding his way to Earth before the current group of Cybertronians began their civil war.

On Earth, Jetfire helps "civilized" the early Egyptians and worshipped him like a God. Jetfire tells the Egyptians all about The Fallen (maybe the representation of Set?) which is why when they see that flash of lightening in the distance (The Fallen teleporting) they quickly retreat into the pyramid which bears Jetfire's Decepticon symbol and they somehow wind up imprisoning the Fallen in the pyramid with Jetfire's help.

Id like to know how Megatron became "possessed." Hopefully, that will be explained.

Also, it appears that the pyramid being built is the Great Pyramid of Giza. The same pyramid scene in the teaser trailer. The Giza pyramid is said to have been built with huge stones from a quarry that were dragged and lifted into place which is depicted in the preview.

The teaser trailer also shows cometforms landing near the Pyramid of Giza and the other 2 that form the Giza Necropolis so maybe the Decepticons somehow re-activates The Fallen and he teleports out of the Pyramid.
