- Clobber (Titan Master, 2016)
- Accessories: Dragon/bird/gun accessory
The Titans Return Clobber toy doubles as a rebooted version of Generation 1 Grimlock and as the independent character Clobber.
- Part of the second wave of Titans Return Titan Masters, Clobber is a retool of Crashbash and transforms from robot into a head compatible with any Deluxe-or-larger figure in the line. Clobber features a new head piece based on Generation 1 Grimlock's animation model, with the Titan Master arm pieces serving as his "horns" as a nod to his Classics head. Hasbro stated at BotCon 2016 that Clobber is Grimlock himself, leaving the reasons for his name unclear, but some kind of attempt to avoid confusion with the contemporaneous Robots in Disguise character seems a likely explanation. Clobber features peg holes in his feet to allow him to stand on a variety of Titans Return figures, and is packaged with a beast accessory with three modes: a dragon for Clobber to ride, a T. rex formed by combining with Clobber, or a 5mm-compatible gun for larger figures. His new face piece was molded in black plastic, rather than gunmetal.
- As with Crashbash, Clobber's instructions feature the same error for steps 6(5)-8(7).
- The coloration of Clobber's T. rex form is likely a nod to Tyrannitron, the Action Master partner of Snarl.

Notes
- Who Clobber partnered up with in Uprising is not specified, but Grimlock seems the obvious answer.
