This character has no official visual representation in any Transformers product or media... yet, at least.
Monko (モン子) is a cabbage white butterfly, but whether that means they are a literal butterfly or an Insectron with a butterfly alternate mode is unclear. Odds are they're female.[1] What is known for certain is that Monko knows Bigmos and thinks highly of him. Bigmos values Monko's regard.

The suffix -chan is used for women and anything cute. If Monko is a literal butterfly, -chan is appropriate because it's a cute animal.
