Transformers Exclusive Titans Return Clone 2 Pack Available at EB Games in Canada

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.

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

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

I wish I was good enough for that! As is I'm too scared to even give Wolfwire's visor a dab of paint

Artist Ken Christiansen posted on Facebook what he calls "the first pass take on the new Grotusque figure". This is when Hasbro commissions an artist to draw what the toy would look like, even before any transformation sequence is thought up (which is a later phase). You can compare it to the final product to see what aspects of the designs stayed and which were altered as the design process continued.

Im so lucky I got mine. I was browising the net for 2 minutes on the way to work. I ended up being 30 mins late to work so I can stop and order one. Smart phones are a wonderful thing.

If you are serious about trying, BBTS had Arms Microns on clearence for a pittance. Throw one in a POL and practice on. Paints can be gotten from Walmarts or Meijers for $0.47-$1 and cheap but decent brushes arent either.

I was leaving my house to meet up with someone for lunch and there he was on the front door! He shipped yesterday!!!

Kurona wrote:Customs are fun

Damn, that looks pretty good. It's also reminding me of my unfortunate last session in the airbrush booth with my Skydive to Starscream conversion. (Nothing irreversible, but note to self and any fellow customizers: Invest in actual airbrush paint rather than trying to thin down Citadel.)

Anyway, GROTUSQUE WOOOOOOO. I've always wanted Grotusque to get an update, out of all the Monsterbots he gets the least love, which is a shame when he's a goddamn giant winged naked mole rat monster. I want him, but I can't get him right now. Oh well, some day.

According to the Tracking number, my Grotusque is in Mississippi right now. Forgetting about my action figure for a minute, I hope everyone there stays safe with Hurricane Nate getting ready to make landfall later on tonight.

Another thing not from me, but really quite hilarious.

I can confirm that the Clone sets was available at an EB games stores nearby in Montreal. I called a few of them and not all had them in stock. The one where I purchased my set had only received three and there was no indication of restock any time soon. I was happy to get them...until I remembered I had already preordered the Takara version of the twins somewhere ... Anyway, this set costed me 34,48$ with taxes.

"Who you callin' pinhead?"

Looks like in the drawing his beast mode shoulders are oriented in the way that the actual toy's robot shoulders are.

If they ain't giving me Titan Scorponok, I may have to hunt G1.....I just love his original incarnation.

All I currently have is Dark Scorponok (Cybertron 2005)! He's not nearly big enough.
