Transformers Titans Return Grotusque with Scorponok Finally in Stock at TRU.com

Now my fingers are crossed that both are shipped without incident and also that Hasbro releases a Deluxe Class Repugnus in the Power of the Primes line. We need the complete team of Monsterbots!

Yeah good luck waiting for a deluxe repugnus. Think there’s room in that corner where people are still waiting for Takara Liokaizer

Might pick up a second Blot and customize it for Repugnus, because I don't see a deluxe being released either.

Ordered Grotusque. Trying to think of a good body to use for Scorponok.

Whoa, got em. Well I guess I can thank Visionaries for something after all. Wouldn’t have seen that report if I wasn’t reading the thread.

I think a deluxe Repugnus is quite possible when you think about what other somwhat obscure characters hasbro has done solely to appease fans by compleating "teams"

* Broadside to complete Autobot triple changers

*Quake to complete the Funpub targetmaster juniors team

*Slingshot, Wildrider, and Groove for the fans unhappy with the addition of new characters replacing traditional members

*Kickback because fans kept bitching and bitching and it made sense.

While a more accurate Liokaiser from Takara could have been done with the silverbolt mold, the 6th member would still be missing. I think that was enough to make Takara shy away from doing Liokaiser. Whether due to budget constraints or just out of respect for the Hasbro concept, they didnt want to eliminate the scramble city concept with a double bot torso. Not to mention Hasbros Liokaiser was already at Takara standards in the paint app department. So it would have been the torso or nothing which is what Takara chose.

On the other hand, Hasbro likes to make retools like Grotesque and Arcee to bring in easy $$$. While a future deluxe repugnus might not be a headmaster to go with the other 2 monstrobots, the upcoming terrorcon molds make it entirely possible and profitable. Rippersnapper, Blot, and even Cutthroat would be too easy to resist for Ha$bro.

I think we are going to see a few "black box exclusives" from the POTP molds this year.

Tidal Wave works out pretty good! And you can pair him with Trypticon too, with the headmaster slot in the back of his head, you can have Scorponok make him smarter

That does look good. Thanks for the suggestion. And I do have Tidal Wave with no special attachment to the character. I was thinking a spare Brainstorm or Slugslinger until your post.

I don't like this figure. It looks kinda stupid.

Insult to injury is that Scorponok head instead of releasing an entire Scorponok even a Voyager one would be cool until a Titan class is released.

Pass!

Nice to see that Grotusque is finally available! I've been waiting for him to come out for months now. Managed to order mine.

Leader Evolution Rodimus is in stock on Target’s website, if anyone is interested, for $44.99. Oddly he’s the first and only PotP figure to be listed so far.

Just a heads up, I made a titan master adapter for the energon scorponok mold family just for this release on stairways.
