#horrorcons

Because Obviously they exist, Trion turns into a robotic lion and Onyx's presence implies there's more of them, question is where are they?

I would suspect the reason they are not present in the film is because either Sentinel and the Quintessons drove them to near extinction or perhaps Sentinel sold them to the Quintessons as slaves (which could explain where the Sharkticons come from)

Or perhaps instead in an extension of Sentinel's caste system (and taking a cue from idw), the beast formers are the lowest of the low, treated literally like animals and forced out of society

The Monsterbots are an ugly, repulsive bunch and they not only know it, but they own it. They’re not used to receiving much kindness from others and it suits them fine.

Have there been any other Horrorcons besides Snapdragon and Apeface?

Dear Kaiju Kopf,

While I could mention the Horrorcons who fought in the Universe War—Leatherhide, Blackarachnia, Nightprowler and Waspinator—I assume you are speaking specifically of the triple-changing Headmaster Horrorcons binary-bonded with Nebulans. Though, now that I mention it, I did once hear of a Leatherhide who bonded himself to… ah, my apologies, I'm getting off-track.

I believe that in at least one universe, the Decepticon forces under Scorponok did indeed include a third Horrorcon by the name of Backbiter. Like her fellows, Backbiter was a powerhouse among the Headmasters; she transformed into both a Cybertronian "flying wing" stealth bomber and an enormous, heavily armored snapping turtle. Though not as fast as some Transformers, the difficulty of detecting her jet mode allowed her to get in close to her Autobot enemies before converting into turtle form, becoming a nigh-invulnerable mobile bastion; in robot mode, meanwhile, she wielded a Psyche-Out Blaster that disrupted the brain modules of enemy Transformers to cause vivid hallucinations—something that proved useful if she ever needed to retreat from a fight.

While outwardly the least unpleasant of the three Horrorcons to be around, Backbiter was in truth a cruel and spite-driven individual who—as her name suggests—would feign politeness to others' faces while spreading vicious rumors and mockery behind their backs, taking a perverse pleasure in breaking other Decepticons' spirits while masquerading as their friend. Perhaps her only ally that she didn't treat this way was her Headmaster partner Gemba, a scheming Nebulan socialite desperate for prestige and fame, who was more than happy to ride Backbiter's coattails to a position of power.

I can't say i have a daily bot that's fittting for the ocasion, but yknow getting transformers for Christmas is a common enough thing,

heres apeface
