| '''Repugnus''' is an Autobot from an undisclosed point in an undisclosed continuity. He is one of the [[Children of Primus]], fighting alongside [[Optimus Primal]] against the dark forces of [[Unicron]]. Or not. The data is somewhat contradictory at this juncture.
| |
| | |
| What, if any, connection he has to any other "Repugnus" is unknown.

| Repugnus was one of the Autobots involved in the final battle on the surface of [[Unicron]]. {{storylink|Revelations Part 2}} With the disappearance of Unicron beneath him, he apparently ended up at [[Axiom Nexus]] and was "processed". {{storylink|Transcendent: Part 1}}

| *'''Overbite with Repugnus''' (Ultra, 2006)
| |
| | |
| : A [[redeco]] of the ''[[Beast Wars (franchise)|Beast Wars]]'' [[Fuzor]] [[Buzzclaw (BW)|Buzzclaw]] toy in translucent red and yellow, Repugnus transforms into a praying mantis/lizard monster, with massive hooked claws and enormous mandibles. Pressing a grip on the creature's back causes the claws to swing outwards. This assembly can be used as a hand-held weapon in robot mode, while his tail becomes a forearm-mounted shield.
| |
| | |
| : He was only available in a box set with [[Overbite (Universe)|''Universe'' Overbite]] which had been originally intended for normal retail release, but with the cancellation of the ''Universe'' line at retail, was eventually released as a Target [[exclusive]]. Repugnus is an Autobot according to the [[Insignia|faction sigil]] stamped on him, though the packaging labels him a [[Decepticon]].
| |
| | |
| : The same mold was used to create ''[[Timelines (fiction)|Timelines]]'' [[Buzzclaw (Timelines)|Buzzclaw]], [[Dirge (Descent into Evil)|Dirge]] and the [[Virulent Clone|Virulent Clones]]. Like those figures, Repugnus came [[Misassembly|misassembled]], with his creature mode mandibles angled perpendicular to the beast head as opposed to their proper parallel position. This does not hamper his robot mode in any way, however.

| ==Notes==
| |
| * Repugnus was one of [[Glen Hallit]]'s last contributions to the ''Universe'' line, as the [[redeco]] was his brainchild. It's likely that if the ''Universe'' comic had continued, Repugnus would have been indicated to be the Generation 1 character, a favorite of Hallit's.
