Grotusque Makes a Comeback at TFcon Orlando
Collectors who’ve been hunting for a true Generation 1 throwback finally have a reason to smile. The Chosen Prime’s MB‑05A Flypro revives the classic Monsterbot Grotusque, offering a limited run of just 600 figures that will vanish as quickly as a Transformer in battle.
Design Details That Hit the Mark
Every unit features a vibrant pink chassis paired with sleek gray accents, mirroring the original G1 palette. Updated ratchet joints give the figure smoother articulation, while a newly engineered flame effect adds a dynamic touch that the earlier MB‑05 lacked. Each piece arrives sealed in a comic‑book‑style 10th‑anniversary box, complete with a unique serial number to guarantee authenticity.
Where and When to Grab One
The exclusive will be on display at the Chosen Prime booth during TFcon Orlando 2026, running from October 23‑25. Priced at $140, it’s expected to sell out fast, so early birds should line up at the convention floor.
Grotusque’s Place in Transformers Lore
Grotusque belongs to the original trio of Monsterbots, alongside Repugnus and Doublecross, known for transforming into grotesque beasts. In Marvel’s Generation 1 comics, the Monsterbots followed Fortress Maximus to Nebulos before eventually joining the Earth‑based Autobots and Decepticons. Though they’ve resurfaced in several toy lines, they remain absent from Skybound’s current Universe comics.
Fans have also seen other nostalgic releases lately, such as MachineCat‑Toys’ chibi‑styled MCT‑02 Ferocy B‑Robo, a colorful take on the Terrorcon Combiner Abominus. While that figure leans toward cute, the MB‑05A Flypro stays true to the gritty aesthetic of its G1 roots.
Don’t miss the chance to add this rare Monsterbot to your collection—once the 600 pieces are gone, the hunt begins anew.
