Monsterbots are a species from the Cyberverse continuity family.

Dwelling deep beneath the surface of Cybertron, Monsterbots are prehistoric creatures who inhabit an untamed, primordial land filled with savage Cybertronian wildlife.

• Repugnus
• Affluous
• Operatus
• Stinkus
• Teknicus
• Coolus
• Hippus
• Raddus

Fiction

Cyberverse cartoon

Voice actor: Additional voices (Billy Bod Thompson, English)

Deprived of energon after the near-destruction of Cybertron and the draining of its natural resources, Repugnus and his tribe were trapped in their simple beast modes for many years, eking out a hardscrabble existence in their dying world. One of Repugnus' fellow Monsterbots captured Bumblebee as he journeyed towards the Well of the Allspark. Battle For Cybertron III

The Monsterbots would have feasted on the Autobot if it wasn't for the timely arrival Cheetor, who told them of their mission and used the AllSpark to sate their hunger. In gratitude, Repugnus and his tribe led the duo to the Well's backdoor. Once Cybertron was restored, the Monsterbots rejoiced at the planet's revival. Battle For Cybertron IV
