Fiction

[edit]

Timelines

[edit]

When a Cataclysm threatened their home universe, most of the Monster GoBots fled their native reality as part of the great GoBot Diaspora. They wound up on the dystopian Cybertron of Primax 215.19 Epsilon: a world where the Great War between the Autobots and Decepticons had evolved into a series of ritualized Games fought between their successors, the Maximals and Predacons. The GoBots adopted new Predacon bodies, and gained infamy as a street gang known as the "Antares Eight". Ask Vector Prime, 2015/05/14 Cultural Appropriation

As they settled in, the Renegades built up a secret base called the Erebos equipped with a Modifier and databanks charting the activities of other GoBots in the multiverse. At some point, they welcomed in a second group of GoBotic refugees: the Monsterous combiner team, and their handler Odd Ball. Unhappy with the stagnant Cybertronian social order, the Renegades began their own plan to overthrow the dominant "Builders" and rule in their place.

Learning about the Human Confederacy from some of the natives, Klaws and the Eight gathered information about post-singularity humanity by hacking the Grand Mal, Cultural Appropriation, and, guided by the machinations of the incorporeal Lord Imperious Delirious, Derailment learned of an ancient Terran artifact called the Rosetta Stone (renamed "The Stone of Sky Warp") held in the Museum of Decepticon Heritage. They arranged to appropriate the stone, and use it to lure the Terrans to Cybertron. Faking as if they were a Resistance team, the Antares Eight seized control of a trans-hyperwave caster in Proximax. Holding the Builder in charge hostage, they beamed demands for all Builders to leave Proximax in the name of the Resistance. In fact, the transmission was a trap to entice the humans, who monitored all Cybertronian transmissions, with a clear view of the Rosetta Stone in the background. The GoBots intended to use quantumite (a Gargent Cluster substance unknown to the Transformers) to weaponize the caster, snare the unsuspecting humans when they arrived, and take their greater technology.

Klaws and the Monster Gobots faced unexpected resistance, however, from a multi-factional group called the Ex-Bots. As they battled for control of the tower, Klaws was knocked off the summit by Snapper, and faced the rage of Rampage down below. He ultimately fled, the only member of the Antares Eight to survive the mission. Cultural Appropriation

Klaws was captured by the Darksyders, and was used by Leatherhide in his various experiments to create new and different cybernetic, bio-mechanical, and techno-organic innovations. Derailment

Renegade Rhetoric

[edit]

Klaws, Bugsie, and Hornet left the Renegades after Cy-Kill took command so that they could search for the Master Renegade. Renegade Rhetoric, 2015/10/15 When the Master Renegade resurfaced, they served as his henchmen when he launched an attack on Gobotron; while watching the destruction of Gobotron's Prison Moon, the Robo Rebels took the opportunity to sneak past the dazzled Monster GoBot. Graduation Day At some point after this, the Monster GoBots defected back to Cy-Kill, and the Renegade leader welcomed them into the fold. Renegade Rhetoric, 2015/10/15 After Cy-Kill caught wind of a Guardian plan to manufacture Space Hawk interceptors, the Renegade leader ordered Klaws, Fitor, and Gunnyr to launch a three-way attack on the production facilities. They successfully attacked and saw off the Guardian Boomer units that had been stationed to defend the factories. The Hawks of Space Part 1

Klaws was one of the Renegades taken over by Doctor Braxis and the secret mind-control circuit in his Destabilizer Cannon upgrade. He was guarding the imprisoned Cy-Kill, Fitor, and Gunnyr with Bullseye when the circuit was disabled. Regaining his senses, Klaws freed his leaders and the Renegades escaped. Once Braxis Twice Shy Part 2 Cy-Kill Astro-Beamed Klaws and Slicks to Illinois to chase after Nick Burns and Scooter, who were trying to protect an electronic growth serum from the Renegades. Klaws then took part in the attack on Fermilab, but was seen off by Scooter, who had temporarily turned into a giant. Attack of the 50 Foot Guardian On another mission, Klaws and Scorp pursued Man-O-War and Dive-Dive in an underwater battle that ended with a pod of sentient whales. Cy-Kill tricked the whales into believing that the Guardians were responsible for polluting Earth's oceans, which lasted until the Guardians launched a covert underwater mission aimed to defraud Cy-Kill before the whale king Leviathan.

Echoes and Fragments

[edit]

As Sideways and Gong played with mixing universal streams, Klaws and the Monster GoBots worked for the Master Renegade on Antares III, sentencing hapless prisoners to death in the Dactyl pit. Klaws and Pincher escorted the last Starriors of Zi to their deaths before turning their attentions to Hot Rod and Kup. Klaws acted as executioner, pulling the switch which dropped the victims into the pit. Unfortunately for the Monster GoBots, Hot Rod and Kup started a whirlpool, drawing the water and the Dactyls up to the surface of the pit. As fighting broke out between the Autobots, Dactyls, and GoBots, Klaws found himself crushed under the entrance doors when the Dinobots and RoGuns arrived, toppling the door onto him.
