There are a few non-toy characters in there that I couldn't recognise. Just wonderin' if anyone recognised them. I generally would think they are generic but this is Don Figueroa were talking about.

pg 4
Three robots in the tubes. I think the middle one is Skystalker from the legs. The one on the right towards the edge of the page looks to be Clench. I couldn't make out the other one.

pg 12-13
The "recap" pages

pg 18
The Autobot guard? The head looks familair enough...

pg 20
Decepticons unite. I can't tell who the two blue/red/white 'cons as well as the one behind Rumble are in the middle panel of the page. (Great art though)

I read the comic tonight and thought it was pretty mundane. Followed a very conventional path with little on characterisation but the art sure was nice. Looking at the dialogue at several parts, 'tis very painful. Cringeworthy at some places. I had problems with Furman but they were to do with pacing and consistency generally. The guys who write this have written some of the worst lines i've seen in a Transformer comic (and I've read the Marvel stuff!)

The program at the back looks very dull too... as in not much seems to happen but then I imagine socialising is a big part of it.

Page 4 - I think the second one is Skyquake. The left one looks familiar though.
Page 12 - Most appear to be generic bots, but I see Sunstreaker in the second bottom panel.
Page 18 - I was thinking maybe an Aerialbot, because the other 2 on page 19 look like Slingshot and Fireflight.
Page 20 - One above Soundwave would be Slugslinger. The one above that is familiar, but only because of the shoulders. The one behind frenzy reminds me of Gobot Leader-1.
I only just noticed that they used the Movie Universe Camera Real Gear character mould in that group shot as well, which I think they snuck in, because I think they aren't allowed to touch the movie universe.

Are you able to scan and crop images just to show these individual characters?

No no thats probably super illegal and about 40 super lawyers will attack you for even contemplating that

...there are already individual scans of single panels on the web atm, e.g.: this one from TF Wikia

It was just better to be safe than sorry. Just because one site has scans, doesn't automatically make it acceptable. Their scans may well be authorised, or just ignored as long as they don't scan the entire comic. But since I wasn't aware of it, I wasn't going to publically post scans myself.
