Re: removal of super glue
Looks tricky... Is it super glue, epoxy, or something else?
What consistency does the glue have?

Re: removal of super glue
I think it's super glue... It's very hard I tried soaking it in water overnight didn't do anything next day I tried Soaking it in alcohol over night and didn't do anything
Re: removal of super glue
It looks almost like epoxy in the pic. Either way, it's prolly a lost cause. If it is in fact super glue, it will have "melted" and deformed the head to the point of potential junk. What a bummer .

It might be epoxy because it's thick where super glue wouldn't be thick like that

Re: removal of super glue
I'm not sure what to advice you to do.
Some suggest to freeze the glue before trying to remove it, but I'm not sure that would work in this case. Others suggest using chemicals, but I would advice against that, because chances are you'll only end up melting/damaging the head in the process.
Maybe you could get a junker Grimlock and replace the parts on yours?

Selling him as a junker or for parts would work as well.
Good luck!
