As far as I know there was never anything mentioned about them before they were discovered on Earth in the G1 cartoon or comics.

The main focus of those stories was on Ultra Magnus, the Wreckers and the Galvatron situation on Earth.

He had tracks on his legs, a cannon mounted over his head, and it looks like he had racks of grenade launchers in his chest. But Shrapnel was the only one we actually saw in his alt-mode.

Wonder why they didn't base their HoS modes more on their WWi Designs. (not complaining though, I loved the Insecticon Train)
