No one's got it, and no one's guessing, the answer was Spike (Fort Max) and Daniel (Arcee)
Anyone's turn now....

Q: In IDW's Revelation saga, which is the only original Transformer character who has never appeared outside of this story/medium?

Bumper.

Nope.
Bumper's appearance in IDW was in Megatron: Origin. Also, Bumper has appeared in multiple TF mediums: as a toy (G1), in the Dreamwave comics, in IDW (Megatron: Origin) and even in the movie (expanded) universe.
The character in question here exclusively appears in IDW's Revelation saga and appears in no other TF medium.

Sigh... 'Grindcore'. Are there truly no 'real' Transformers they can use for his role in this?

Okay then, so following on from the theme of Gok's question...Originally Posted by GoktimusPrime
You are correct.(fwiw I share your lament
)
A.) Which issue of the Marvel (UK or US) comics introduced the most ‘made up’ non-toy Transformers?
B.) Name them.
(For a Transformer to count, he or she must actually have a name - background generics don't count.)

I'm going for a poorly educated guess:
1. An Issue of Target 2006: I'm going to guess issue #78/#79
2. Impactor, Rack 'n' Ruin, Skater, Emirate Xaaron, Fang.
Otherwise it may be issue #83 that had the wreckers, Xaaron Trannis and Straxus.

Good guesses, Trunks, however the issues I'm thinking of introduce even more 'made up' characters. (Note also that the issues must introduce the characters, not just contain them.)
Keep guessing, though!

Okay... the answers.
Budiansky's US #17 (Return To Cybertron Part One: The Smeting Pool) introduced seven 'made up' Transformers:
Ferak
Wheezel
Scrounge
Telus
Rotorbolt
Spanner and
Lord Straxus (who?)
Furman's UK #245 (Underworld!) also introduced seven:
Subsea
Warhead
Slayride
Smeltdown
Rotgut
Jackhammer and
Flattop (obviously a Flattop toy exists, but let's face it - it's not him.)
The most 'made up' characters in a Marvel 'comic' were in Furman's 'The Magnificent Six' from 1990-91 UK Annual (but I'm not sure it counts as a comic since it's a text story with illustrations.)
Stampede
Megadeth
Pounder
Claw
Switchblade
Ripsnorter
Backfire and
Steamhammer (no, not the one from Energon).
Since nobody got it, the next question is open to the floor.
