    Despite my dislike of the Dinobot designs, Maximum Dinos does seem to be the most rewarding of IDW's comics of late. Those Monsterbots were an awesome suprise.

    Its kinda a shame it will all end soon to tie in with AHM cause I really like the idea of Scorpinoks Machination its nice to see Humans working with a Decepticon for a change rather than the more common sterotypes of hapless inoccents caught in the war. Reminds me a lot of RAAT. Despite his somewhat questionable writting I did rather like Budianskys perchant for using human characters who were shades of grey.

    I can't help but always wonder where the monsterbots get their alternative forms. (Same with the Terrorcons for that matter but I can think of plenty of theorys that make alot sence for them)

    Maybe they picked up Earth television broadcasts of old sword and sandal movies and though "Hey! Cool!" at the creatures, so they reformatted their alternate modes to appear like the monsters.

    I've been wondering why such monsters were branded Autobots in the first place. Did Hasbro see all the monster Pretenders and Headmasters (who were nearly all Decepticons) shelfwarming and wonder how well monster Transformers would sell if they were Autobots?

    they got there monster modes after visiting a planet that had creatures like that, hence they look like monsters to the people of earth and Hasbro marketing

    That would make the most sence I guess.
    I always reasoned the Terrorcons were used as fear inducing troops hence their alt modes but it never made as much sence for the monsterbots..but then again They are renegades.
    Repugnus old info said he was kicked out of the autobots more then once....speaking of which, In spotlight Arcee isin't he locked away in a spark prison?

    Maybe they broke him out. At this point it doesn't directly contradict Furman canon as time has passed since then but it also smells like a continuity error as in 'I forgot'.

    They could have escaped when Garrus-9 was overrun, the holding facility did sustain large amounts of damage.
