The Acton family (mother and father Gary and Judy, with children Noah and Leah) were characters seen in issue #23 of the Marvel The Transformers comic, where they were created by Bob Budiansky and Don Perlin.
This whole thing is something of a pastiche on the original Sunbow The Transformers cartoon, featuring the Decepticons doing something dastardly, the Autobots being there to stop them, and the little quirks of dialogue emulating the memorable phrases inserted by Ron Friedman in the first two seasons as part of his "additional dialogue" edits. Section 1: This scene is a flashback to the early days of the conflict on Earth after the Autobots and Decepticons wake up in 1984 after the volcano the Ark crashed into erupted. We'll go through the prologue first, as usual. The story is divided into three acts, with an interlude between each section, along with a prologue and epilogue. The detailing on the scales, meanwhile, are based on the Renegade monster Scales from GoBots, a Formula 1 race car who transforms into reptilian monster with the push of a button Chris Colgin notes that when given notes for the cover, he didn't realize that Jim and Dave wanted a literal scale until they explained it to him, so he decided to work it in as a little in-joke. The use of the scale calls to mind the weighing of the soul from legends of the Egyptian afterlife, where the death god Anubis would weigh a deceased person's soul with that of a feather, to see if they were worthy for the afterlife. The stone offered a chance for the Egyptian writing scripts to be translated to modern languages for the first time, opening the door for a better understanding of Ancient Egyptian culture and writing, and it was eventually translated by Thomas Young and Jean-François Champollion in 1822. In 1799, it was found by French military officers during Napoleon's campaign in Egypt, and later taken by the British after the French's defeat in Alexandria in 1801. Transcribed with a decree issued by priests confirming the royal cult of Ptolemaic Egyptian King Ptolemy V in Ancient Egyptian (in both hieroglyphic and Demotic script) and Ancient Greek, it was believed to have been moved around before eventually being incorporated into Fort Julien by the Ottoman Empire in 1470 A.D., in the port city of Rosetta. The Rosetta Stone is a chunk of a granodiorite stele, created in Egypt in the Hellenistic period in 196 B.C. The text on the Rosetta Stone serves as the background of the image. The cover by Christopher Colgin depicts the Monster GoBot leader Vamp holding a scale, with Cybertron on one end and Earth on the other, the latter weighing down heavier than the former. In this story, it refers to all three species at play: the theft of the Rosetta Stone by Cybertronian hands, humanity's use of Cybertronian technology to restrict the Transformers to their world, and the use by the GoBots of Cybertronian forms and their attempted theft of human technology in the pursuit of conquest. The term "cultural appropriation" originated from academic discussions in the 1980's about colonialism it refers to an inappropriate adoption of elements from one culture by another for example, the use of Native American imagery stripped of its context or presented in a stereotypical manner by American sports teams. The story was written by Jim Sorenson and David Bishop, with art by Josh Burcham and Christopher "IKY" Colgin. As part of the finale, it begins to intersect several threads that have been building up throughout the series, and brings together several characters introduced in previous stories, with the main cast -made up of Overshoot, Stiletto, Rampage, Snapper, and Buckethead - fighting against the threat of the otherworldly menace posed by the Monster GoBots, as they attempt to trick humanity with the long lost Rosetta Stone and steal their technology to conquer Cybertron.
It's been a little under a year in-universe since the last story, putting it at the fifth year of the Grant Uprising. "Cultural Appropriation" is the ninth Beast Wars: Uprising story, and the second of the four-part finale, released just a little over three weeks after the previous story, "Not All Megatrons", on December 9th, 2016.
