Comics
Fun Publications
The Monsterous team was mentioned and appeared in the 2015 Fun Publications Ask Vector Prime Facebook series when it was hosted by Cy-Kill. It is revealed Fright Face and his Predacons were marauders in the Heap of Axiom Nexus who attacked Cy-Kill and Warpath. Cy-Kill defeated Fright Face in personal combat and for command of his Predacons, recruiting them into his new Renegade forces. The Predacons were upgraded with GoBot blasters and the ability to combine, thanks to a Puzzler upgrade.
When the TransTech authorities attempted to arrest Cy-Kill he called his new Renegade troops into action, including Monsterous. Cy-Kill ordered Gong to transport the Renegades away.[1]
Research by Vector Prime suggests that the Predacons recruited by Cy-Kill were from the Uniend universal cluster.[2]
In his new Facebook series Renegade Rhetoric, Cy-Kill chronicled his return to "Level 1", his home universal stream, just as the Guardians were staging an attack on Rogue Star. Cy-Kill and his Renegade recruits from Axiom Nexus joined Fitor, Spoons and Stretch in repelling an attack by Courageous, Leader-1, the Guardian Command Centers and the new Guardian Academy graduates Beamer, Guide Star and Sky Fly. During the battle Monsterous was able to best Courageous and tore though the Command Centers, but a ploy from Leader-1 tricked Cy-Kill into unleashing a massive blast which struck Monsterous, shattering the combiner into his components.
