NOTES

Continuing our personal take on the original G1 cartoon continuity, here is another bit of what we imagined Season 4 of the animated G1 series would have been (after the events of The Rebirth).

The actual re-awakening of the Monsterbots is chronicled in an Italian-only fanfiction called "The Monsters That Walk Among Us", as is their history throughout the centuries on Cybertron.
The novel reveals that the Monsterbots were among the Five-Faces Quintessons' rebellious servants, but nothing was said about their actual creation.

In a crossover with G1 cartoon episode "The Dweller In The Depths" (from the imaginative Season 3!), here is the truth about the birth of Doublecross, Grotusque and Repugnus!

The monsters in panel 2 are some of the infamous Technorganics: clearly, the Monsterbots were designed to be their superior.

Repugnus' rarely-mentioned power is also featured in A Cut-Out Job.

Originally one-mode creatures, the Monsterbots ultimately developed an alternate mode and chose their alliance.

And finally, the face (faces?) of the Monsterbots' creator is revealed: it's the same Three-Faces Quintesson from "The Dweller In The Depths", the one whose main face was destroyed by the Dweller (which he used to call "The Beast").

Vengeance is close, and be warned: not everything about the Monsterbots' power has been revealed!
