Fiction
Ask Vector Prime
The Monster GoBots were creations of the Master Renegade. Three of them, Bugsie, Klaws, and Hornet, were active early on during the war. They left shortly after Cy-Kill's reign began to seek their creator, but returned to the Renegades when it became apparent that the Master Renegade was not the man he once was.
Three of them guarded him on Antares III, Creepy, Scorp, and Vamp. Scorp and Vamp were drawn away by a new Monster GoBot built by Cy-Kill, Pincher. Creepy remained loyal, and was eventually joined by the Master Renegade's newest creation, Bladez.
During Cy-Kill's time in exile in Axiom Nexus, he recruited six Predacons to his cause. He modified them, giving them standard GoBot blasters and flight capability, as well as giving them the ability to combine into Monsterous. It seems likely they would be considered Monster GoBots as well. A Mini-Con he recruited, Odd Ball, was similarly modified (minus the combiner technology). Renegade Rhetoric (1)
Beast Wars: Uprising
The Monster GoBots of Gargent 984.08 Alpha were a part of the great GoBot Diaspora. Fleeing the Cataclysm which threatened their own uuniverse, eight of them travelled across dimensions and wound up on the dystopian Cybertron of Primax 209.0 Gamma - a ruined world where the decrepit Builders ruled over their successors, the Maximals and Predacons. It was better than dying horribly, though, so the group adopted new bodies, disguised themselves as local Predacons, and started a new life as the "Antares Eight" - seemingly nothing more than another of the many mercenary gangs who roamed the slums of Cybertron. The Antares Eight spent seventeen Antarean years underground, slowly building up their own powerbase and welcoming other wayward Monster GoBots into their new home. As the team began drawing up plans for overthrowing the Builders and conquering the stagnant planet, they maintained a database that kept tabs on other dimensionally-displaced Guardians and Renegades. Cultural Appropriation
Lio Convoy's Grand Uprising was the perfect opportunity for the Renegades, who planned to take advantage of the chaos and push their own plans into action. When Resistance bigwig Grimlock put out a bounty on the dreaded G-Virus, the Renegades cut a deal with the ex-Builder: they'd give him a sample of the virus in exchange for information on the Human Confederation, the local galactic superpower responsible for ending the Great War. The Renegades sicced Monsterous on the Forever Vaults, overwhelmed the Micromaster guards, and retrieved a sample of the virus for the Resistance. Head Games
