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

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.

I'm still looking for a Chaos on Velocitron set...I have little hope to find either the Titan return Arcee or Grotusque in Canada other then at scalper price, not at any retail. It's incredibly frustrating.

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.

But what if the world ends tomorrow?

Grotesque looks fantastic!! Yes, plzThat's not the Scorponok I was looking for, however.

Might just be me but the Scorponok TM robot mode would look good in green/deathshead paint scheme

Would that Scorponok head fit on the Botcon body from few years ago? Because that might be cool.

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:

Hasbro Toy Shop's website is down! NOOOOO!!!!!!

EB Games does tend to get the occasional Transformer exclusive in Canada, since there are so few toy retailers there. It is the Canadian counterpart to Gamestop. The Titans Return Clones 2 pack has just been found there. The specific sighting below comes from the Montreal North location. The pack retails for $29.99 CAD which is right on the nose for the $25 USD MSRP. Like the Strength set, this would mean that it is ready for distribution in North America and should appear at Wallgreens soon.

Good luck to all when looking for this set.

Couldn't help but notice to the right...wtf is Tokyo Ghoul?

Geez, when the hell are they going to show up at Walgreens in the US? We've known about them for what, like 4-5 months now?

I was on the road when I got an email saying Grotusque was in stock. Pulled over and bought him. and I'm really glad I did. His robot mode looks awesome and Grotusque is one of those G1 figures I would not mind owning since I really like how ugly he is for some reason (a lot like some con pretenders), so the beast mode is awesome to me too.

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

Just letting everyone know that Arcee is available at Toys R Us however after I ordered mine I received a message stating that there is a delay. The email made sure to let me know that it was not a cancellation. Not sure how long we will have to wait to receive this from them

when I was ordering Arcee the site said shipping 11/7 IIRC.

Thanks. Appreciate the heads up. If that was there I didn't see it.

Some anime. It's no Evangelion, but it's alright.

I just got an email saying my order has shipped.

Rodimus Knight wrote:I just got an email saying my order has shipped.

Same. Photo with redacted info for proof.

My Grotusque is on its way too. Man, they must've already had them boxed up and ready to go before we even ordered.

since Scorponok TM comes with him(Grotusque)....you'll be waiting a while for a proper transtector(Titan Class Scorponok) for him to fit onto

you also didn't see that pun as well

Hm. A head scaled for a Deluxe/Voyager on a Titan class figure. Interesting proposition. Someone put him on Fortress Maximus right now

Confirmed at EBgames in Ottawa as well. Just grabbed one at the Merivale Rd. location, 1 remaining on display.

Well that's pretty much how the original Scorponok was, but he had the helmet all around him to compensate (kind of like how the TR Leaders have, but more bulky). I doubt if there is a Titan Class Scorponok down the line, it would have any use of the TM head that comes with the Grotesque set

Kurona wrote:Hm. A head scaled for a Deluxe/Voyager on a Titan class figure. Interesting proposition. Someone put him on Fortress Maximus right now

It would have a helmet! much like all the Leader Class sized figs have + didn't the original(Scorponok) have a helmet too

Ah, but this Titan Master is even smaller than the original Headmasters and a theoretical Titan Scorponok body would be much bigger than the original Scorponok toy (which was roundabout Leader sized iirc?) so it would be even more hilariously out of proportion

Either way, yeah, Titan Scorponok wouldn't have any use for this. I'm not sure how it's gonna be pulled off, actually -- will they upscale his Headmaster, or will it be like Fort Max? What would they make the intermediate robot look like? So many questions

Eh? Leader Class(G1) nah...it were waaay bigger than that(coz I used to have one a very long time ago) mmmmm...probably Supreme Class sized if not bigger

Either way, he was much smaller than a Titan.



The reason the helmet gimmick works for TR leaders is that the Titan Master is just big enough to fit in a full face in proportion with the Leader-sized body. A Titan Master is nowhere near big enough to form a significant part of a Titan's head -- at most this Scorponok Titan Master would get to be a glorifired chin

Aye...now looking at that picture he probably is closer to a Leader Class sized figure(but it was a very long time ago that I had the figure so my sense of scale for it could be way off)

Aye they would have to do something intermediate for the head(like Cerebros with Fort Max) maybe they'll change things up, with Fast track, and make him part of his head unit

Ooh, I never thought of that! Good thinking!

Excuse the dust and bad photo, plus his headmaster has gone for a walk (RE: to make some evil plan, he's probably hanging out inside my unicron or something)

hope the pic works

Here it is flipped to help out

^ Sorry I have to ask...whats the white volcano-shaped thingy where his head should be??

Yeagh, its a third party head master/snake thing where his orig head master should be., can't even remember what it is -one of those spur of the moment buys.

http://thirdpartytransformers.wikia.com/wiki/Headrobots

thanks on the flipping, think I have it figured out now

yeah so he is taller than a leader class...thanks Blackeyedprime

probably is Supreme Class sized then


with Grotusque shipping out pretty quickly...i'm surprised not to see any video reviews of it yet

Tracking number just popped and I'm going to have my Grotusque tomorrow!

Like, holy cow!

DAMN! Mine says Wednesday... :/

Friday the 13th for me woo hoo!!... HTS evidently ships from PA, so the further west it has to go, the longer it takes, naturally.

Oh man, that Grotusque is awesome. Do we know if the Scorponok head will be included with the partner retailer release?

EmirateXaaron wrote:Oh man, that Grotusque is awesome. Do we know if the Scorponok head will be included with the partner retailer release?

It's the same product, so yeah.

Ah, okay, thanks for clearing that up. Wasn't sure if the retail release would see him without Scorponok.

Are these going to be released by TRU? Hasbro is already sold out and we're hours ago when I looked

They will be released later (a month from now) by a partner retailer. Could be TRU, Walmart, Target, BBTS, anyone. So you have to wait a month or so. This website will inform you guys when we know more.

Customs are fun

:O is that your work, Kurona? Either way it's damn gorgeous. Did MMC ever confirm their plans for Helex and Tesarus? If so, I think the whole splitting-at-the-waist nature of flywheels' transformation could make for some pretty interesting shots
