Titans Return Grotusque is said to have extra deco compared to mainline figures. It comes with a die cast Scorponok head, which competes the 4 tech spec sets we would be getting in the Titans Return line, where each of the 4 die cast Titan Masters represents one of the 4 tech spec categories. The artwork found inside the box is by Marcello Matere.
Seibertron has a gallery ready for this reveal which you can see by clicking here or on any of the images below.

No, you can see an autobot symbol on his shoulder.

I know but the stock image of the box has them as Decepticons... yet the final does not with "Fengul" without a prefix to boot. How about that.
btw "Fengul" as an anagram of "engulf" as in flames, makes more sense for the Monsterbot as they had sparking gimmicks, and flame breath in the Headmasters anime.

The end of the day he's whoever you want him to be once you own him. He can be king of the minicons for you want. If he has a con symbol put a sticker over it

YES! THIS! I've already seen too much confusion/outrage over the Autobot/Decepticon stuff regarding Grotusque.

And, of course, the 'optic scorch' ability goes along with that. As does the card art!

Speaking of which, closeup of the little head please

I was thinking the same thing, until I realized that we got all the Decepticon Targetmasters (except for Scourge's partner), but they skipped the Auobots, so I guess as fans there will always be something Hasbro & Takara do (or fail to do) that displeases us.

It will be available at a partner retailer later, like Arcee was, so dont worry.

I know, right? At least I'm confident there will be opportunities to get it later on.
I was on my lunch break and saw it was available. And of course, HTS doesn't want to work on mobile web browsers for some odd reason and I ended up missing it. I really hope it gets restocked soon. I was looking forward to coming home and ordering it.

Having spent some time looking through all the battle beasts I have decided that Hasbro needs to remake them. They're all so wonderfully dumb
Posted by william-james88 on October 5th, 2017 @ 7:59pm CDT
Posted by Cobotron on October 5th, 2017 @ 8:10pm CDT
But Takara already did remake them. And they're AWESOME! So really, Hasbro just needs to do what hey always do (have done), take Takara's cool stuff and rebrand it.william-james88 wrote:John Warden said as much in the panel today.

I don't believe that. Nobody has gotten Arcee yet from TRU and we don't know what, if anything, is different. Why did this have to be different from the 99.9% other exclusives? The ONLY good thing is that scalpers didn't get their hands on it either

I dont understand. A bunch of people palced their orders today for Arcee at Toysrus and got order confirmations. Its the same as if the Speed and Srength TR sets were on HTS a month before they popped up at TRU and BBTS.

It helps if one knew the street date for the Arcee set, which is today, Oct. 5th.

Order confirmation doesn't mean in hand? What if TRU closes up tomorrow? Also as I said we don't know what or if anything will be different.
On another note, what if Grotesque or however they spell it will have stock released a little each day?

TRU US and Canada will continue until the end of the holiday season at the very least (who knows beyond) thanks to the Chapter 11 filing, that leaves plenty of time for new stock to come in. Besides, nobody has gotten Arcee in from TRU yet because the set isn't supposed to be shipped out until its street date, which as I said before is today, October 5th according to its listing. Also according to the listing the limit is 3 per transaction.
On another note, what if Grotesque or however they spell it will have stock released a little each day?
Grotusque with a "u" (I make the same mistake now and again), and it all depends on how each location treats its stock upon receiving it. Don't count on them phasing for each day tho.

Afraid not. The BotCon Scorponok body uses the G1 connectors (thanks to Olin being retooled from Encore Cerebros) which are different from the Titans Return ones, plus there's a bit of a size difference:

got my shipping notice about 3 hours ago.
And whoever said it, I was thinking the same thing: Twinferno and Grotusque are the full sized guys while Repugnus, as the leader, walks around in his diminutive form, and when he gets grumpy or needs to pace while rubbing his chin, he can take one of his buddy's bodies
