It would appear that the new Special Edition Titans Return Repugnus figure has reached his first customer, as Japanese Twitter user @6niniru has posted in-hand photos of Repugnus (and the accompanying Dastard and Solus Prime). @6niniru has even included a photo of the Special Edition Repugnus body attached to the standard retail single-packed Repugnus head, in comparison to the Dastard head.





Repugnus is a heavy retool (as John Warden would presumably phrase it, a “partial-tool”) of Titans Return Deluxe Class Autobot Twinferno (the renamed Doublecross), as was the case with last year’s Grotusque . This means that all three 1987 Monsterbots have now been remade for a 2010s audience.And now that Dastard’s robot mode is publicly visible, we can identify the design inspiration of the Titan Master: the 1987 Autobot-allied Beastformer “ Hedgehog ” (known in Hasbro markets as the Battle Beast “Prickly Porcupine”). This follows on from White Leo (Pirate Lion) being Twinferno’s Titan Master Daburu , and Platinum Tiger (Saber Sword Tiger) being Grotusque’s Titan Master Fengul Thanks to Allsparker Triblurr for the identification.
