I would also like to add that Bolo initially started out as a shadow weapons maker (as told by the Shadow Mind). It is possible that he wanted to help the Queen in order to gain her favor. But after her "upgrade" the Queen starts referring to Bolo as her "Master"  indicating that his intentions behind helping her were not so noble. Therefore it is more likely that Bolo helped the Queen for reasons stated by Anon421.

As for the Watchers guarding the Queen, let's also not forget that she absolutely does not trust anyone who has anything to do with the old Legion ways - be it Marcus, the Legion Elders or even soldiers who might have been asked to guard her. She has completely broken away from the old Legion way of life - in fact she blames her ancestors for chasing after the sphere and leaving them vulnerable to the shadow beasts' attacks. That combined with the fact that Bolo is more or less manipulating her every move is reason enough for her to hire Bolo's men to guard her instead of her own.
