ACME COMICS EXCLUSIVE TITANS RETURN VARIANT

New guy here. And big GI Joe fan.

I was wondering you all could tell me who all of the Transformers are the small ones are hard to tell. For someone who isn't super knowledgeable.

And I am pretty excited to see how the IDW Hasbro Comic Crossover universe Revolution works out. MASK is a natural fit and I wonder if the MASK vehicles will actually be Transformers with MASK and GI Joe drivers. It all crosses over might as well be all in.

Thanks in advance for figuring out who is who on the cover.

Well, that is certainly no easy question considering how numerous they are and how hard some of the smaller ones are to make out. But...

Cracks knuckles

The massive one at the far right all the smaller ones are swarming over is Fortress Maximus.
The only ones actually on him that I can make out are the combiner Superion on his right shoulder and Jetfire flying away from him on his right wrist (our right). The others are a bit too small and detail-less and don't seem to have a colour scheme and design that corresponds to any transformers in particular; they're likely just background generics.

In the skies, from left to right:-
Row 1: Skywarp, Thundercracker, Sentinel Prime, Acid Storm, Optimus Prime
Row 2: Starscream, Nova Storm/Sunstorm (or just a generic yellow seeker), Soundwave, Rumble/Frenzy and Frenzy/Rumble (depending on which one you think is blue and which one you think is red)
Row 3 (rooftop): Sunstreaker, Red Alert, Arcee, Kup
Row 4: Tall Tankor (aka Octane), Blitzwing, Megatron, Wheeljack, Ironhide
