Well, he doesn't HAVE to be a 1:1 replication of the original. "Land-based aircraft carrier" is a pretty awesome sci-fi altmode, so I can definitely see the potential in an updated design.
But Grandus needs to be a Titan all on his own!
Honestly, though, a pack of a reasonable sized Star Convoy with a giant Grandus accessory would probably be something I would buy.
I skipped that set at the time as it was (mostly) repaints and there was a bunch of other stuff that I was currently buying, but I've been kicking myself for it ever since. Your post got me checking ebay again this morning and I found someone selling sets for a reasonable price, so I finally...

Of all the possible missing paint applications, this one is probably the easiest to do by hand after...
