Which is bizarre, considering they did release a Combiner Wars Optimus repaint... as Nemesis Prime/Grand Scourge/whatever that abomination of storytelling wants to call himself. And yet, he doesn't have the Battle Core tooling - the new head, which is as ironic as Crosscut considering the new head is a reference to a Japan-only toy; Star Convoy.
Grand Scourge didn't have the Battle Core OP tooling because it came out in Japan before Battle Core OP came out in the West.
But there's still a chance for the Battle Core OP tooling to come out in Japan since, while Hasbro is ending Combiner Wars to replace it with Titans Return, there are currently no signs of Takara ending Unite Warriors just yet as it's a separate line from Legends.

I know they later recoloured and released him as an obscure character in Adventure - which is weirdly enough where they dump a lot of Generations Legends figures they don't want - but they never got him as Groove. Which is a shame, because I honestly feel Legends Groove is a really cool little figure and a perfect addition to Defensor.
They didn't need Legends class Groove as Groove since Deluxe class Groove made Legends class Groove as Groove a redundancy.
