- Overbite with Repugnus (Ultra, 2006)
- A redeco of the Beast Wars Fuzor 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 Universe Overbite whcih had been originally intended for normal retail release, but with the cancellation of the Universe line at retail, was eventually relased as a Target exclusive. Repugnus is an Autobot according to the faction sigil stamped on him, though the packaging labels him a Decepticon.
- The same mold was used to create Timelines Buzzclaw, Dirge and the Virulent Clones. Like those figures, Repugnus came 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.
