Having acquired the Repug Armor at some point, Repugnus (having been then stuck in a Headmaster form), leapt into action within the armor when Broadside's massive transtector was hijacked by Trickdiamond and Thrust. Using Blowpipe's Electro-Clone Beam, the Autobots were able to create a large duplicate of the Repug Armor to fit Broadside's massive Headmaster form, and it was used to break into the transtector and put an end to Thrust and Trickdiamond's rampage.

It transforms from a robotic insect monster based on the original Repugnus toy to a bladed non-firing double-barred blaster, or a jet-like vehicle with four thrusters molded into the legs. There is a compartment for Titan Master/Legends Headmaster figures, which fit inside the beast and weapon modes as a folded-up component, but "pilots the jet mode as a robot.
- The two pegs at the bottom front of his beast shell can be used to connect his feet, though none of his modes use them in this way.
