The '''Galaxy Force''' [[manga]], written and drawn by [[Yoshihiro Iwamoto]], ran for nine issues from February 2005 to October 2005 in the pages of ''[[Comic Bom Bom]]''. The first six issues of the manga were collected in a graphic novel along with a whimsical "Mission 0" which acted as a "making of" extra.

However, by the time Iwamoto received news that the manga was going to end from the editorial staff, much of the pre-publishing work for the first volume was already done, thus leaving out the last three chapters,<ref>[http://werou.com/nicky/log200509.html Blog entry of September 7, 2005 from Iwamoto's blog ''Ganken'']</ref> before ''Comic Bom Bom'''s cancellation in July of 2007.<ref>[http://werou.com/nicky/log200707.html ''Ganken'' blog entry of July 17, 2007 checking from Yahoo!Japan News]</ref> In short, the ''Galaxy Force'' manga was never completed and the last three chapters were never collected, making them somewhat rare amongst Japanese collectors and even ''rarer'' amongst Western ones.

:''The Terrorcons are a [[Decepticon]] [[subgroup]] from the [[Generation 1 (franchise)|Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:Loveandsteel-terrorcons1a.jpg|right|350px|thumb|Not a good day to be a Nebulan]]
Sometimes it's hard to take the '''Terrorcons''' seriously. Even for Decepticons, they've got a bunch of personality problems, not to mention a lack of decency. Individually, they're not much, and it's not very hard to outsmart them. One on one, an Autobot would probably win.

Then you actually meet the Terrorcons as a group, and you pray that [[Primus]] has mercy on you, because the Terrorcons sure as hell won't. They'll kill you for a bunch of reasons: orders, sport, boredom, a dare. They're not what you'd call soldiers, warriors, or even brawlers. They're animals, and they bring that thought pattern to everything they do, including their choice of [[Alternate mode|altmodes]], which are the forms of frightening beasts. They're all positively insane.

The Terrorcons consist of:

*The brilliant yet gluttonous [[Hun-Gurrr]] (leader)
*The superiority obssessed [[Rippersnapper (G1)|Rippersnapper]]
*The disgusting [[Blot (G1)|Blot]]
*The predatory [[Sinnertwin (G1)|Sinnertwin]]
*The overly-violent [[Cutthroat (G1)|Cutthroat]]

They combine to form the incredibly destructive (but surprisingly cute) [[Abominus (G1)|Abominus]].

'''Japanese name:''' ''Terrortron''

==Fiction==
===American cartoon continuity===
[[Image:Terrorconfight.jpg|left|200px|thumb|We're the only seven-headed combiner group, blagh! blagh!]]
The Terrorcons accompanied [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]] to acquire [[Anti-electron|anti-electrons]] from [[Unicron]]'s disembodied head. During the adventure, they were attacked by [[Rodimus Prime (G1)|Rodimus Prime]], [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]], and [[Kup (G1)|Kup]]. They managed to get the upper hand, but were quickly attacked by the newly made [[Technobot (G1)|Technobots]]. The Terrorcons formed Abominus, but thanks to the sacrifice of [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]]'s super intelligence, the Technobots formed [[Computron (G1)|Computron]], and defeated the Terrorcons. {{storylink|Grimlock's New Brain}}

Soon afterwards, the Terrorcons were now under the control of the [[Quintesson|Quintessons]] for no apparent reason. Hun-Grr was dispatched to attack [[Dirk Manus]], a [[human]] smuggler who had discovered [[Recreator|a device of great value]]. The Terrorcons had been modified by the Quintessons to disassemble from their Abominus form after a short period of time, which was their undoing: Computron detected the timer devices and activated it, forcing the Terrorcons and Quintessons into retreat. {{storylink|Money Is Everything}}

[[Image:Abominus1.jpg|right|200px|thumb|Prince has really bulked up.]]
The Terrorcons were among the Decepticons fighting the Autobots on [[Earth]]'s [[Moon (moon)|Moon]]. They formed Abominus on Galvatron's command, but soon disassembled and left with the other "primitive" Transformers when the [[Oracle (G1)|Primacron's assistant]] called them away to fight the powerful [[Tornedron]]. The Terrorcons were the only primitives to fight the energy-draining Tornedron with something other than energy-based weaponry, but were quickly defeated. {{storylink|Call of the Primitives}}

Late in the year 2006, the Terrorcons attacked [[Gregory Swofford]] and [[Mark Morgan]]'s laboratory to steal their new [[Impervious Alloy|heat-and-radiation-resistant alloy]]. The fight between Abominus and Computron caused significant damage to the lab and seriously injured Morgan's daughter, [[Jessica Morgan|Jessica]], leading the two scientists to plot revenge on all the Transformers by infecting them with the [[Hate plague]]. Nice going there, guys. {{storylink|The Return of Optimus Prime, Part 1}}

====''Zone'' OVA, manga and story pages====

Seeking to create a [[Decepticon Zone]] to counter the [[Micro|Autobot Zone]], [[Emperor of Destruction|Decepticon Emperor]] [[Violen Jiger]] gathered together the [[Nine Great Demon Generals]], upgrading them with powerful new armor and weaponry, then sent them forth to conquer planets. The Terrorcons were summoned, but only as [[Abominus (G1)|Abominus]]. {{storylink|Zone (story page)|Zone Part 1}} {{storylink|Zone (manga)|Transformers: Zone}} {{storylink|Enter the New Supreme Commander, Dai Atlas!}}

===Marvel comics continuity===
[[Image:Terrorcons-rollout1.jpg|left|250px|thumb|Run away! Run—no wait. Run toward! Run toward!]]
The Terrorcons were among the many Decepticons under the command of Scorponok on Cybertron. {{storylink|Ring of Hate!}} They journeyed with their squad to the world of Nebulos, in pursuit of Fortress Maximus's Autobots. The mighty warrior Blot was chosen to participate in the Decepticons' initial attack on the Nebulans and Autobots in the capital city of [[Koraja]]. {{storylink|Broken Glass!}}

On Nebulos, the Terrorcons had a terrific time terrorizing organic creatures in the city of [[Splendora]], till the Technobots showed up and kicked their tails. Combining into Abominus didn't help much, as it basically provided Computron with a larger target. {{storylink|Love and Steel!}}

The Terrorcons later traveled with Scorponok to the [[Mercury Gardens of Melanossus]] in response to an Autobot sighting there. The newly-minted Targetmaster Autobots proved to be a fair match for them; only the Autobots' concern for the Gardens' well-being ended the battle, as they retreated to prevent further damage to them. {{storylink|Brothers in Armor!!}}

The Terrorcons, along with the rest of the Decepticons, left Nebulos soon after, journeying to the planet Earth. {{storylink|Trial by Fire!}} There they participated in various battles, most notably against Ratbat's forces, {{storylink|Cold War!}} then briefly against an Autobot force under Optimus Prime's command. Shortly thereafter, they were deactivated by the [[Underbase]]-empowered [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]] and not seen again. {{storylink|Dark Star (issue)|Dark Star}}

====Marvel UK Future Timelines====
''After [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]] took command of the Decepticons, the Terrorcons were part of Soundwave's elite soldiers, accompanying him to the past during the [[Time Wars]] snafu.''

===IDW comics continuity===
[[Image:SpotlightSixshot Terrorcons WhoUs.jpg|right|200px|thumb|]]
The Terrorcons are [[Sixshot]]'s biggest fans. They hope to one day be as powerful and feared as the Decepticons' number one mercenary. They are also the closest thing Sixshot has to "friends", as every other Decepticon is scared to death of the guy. The Terrorcons went on a mission to [[Mumu-Obscura]] where they were taken prisoner by [[Deathbringer]] and the [[Reaper|Reapers]]. Sixshot came to their rescue, and though he was tempted to join the Reapers after Deathbringer extended an offer, Sixshot refused to pass the final test for membership: kill the Terrorcons. The Reapers accepted Sixshot's rejection and allowed him to leave with his "friends". {{storylink|Spotlight: Sixshot}}

: The Terrorcons are a [[Scramble City]]-style combiner team: four simple, small figures who form the limbs of the combined form, sold carded at the $5 price point, and one larger leader who forms the central torso, sold boxed at $12. They can combine with members of any other Scramble City-style combiner team, or join together to form [[Abominus (G1)|Abominus]].

: The small toys are fairly simplistic, even for Scramble City limbs. Most of their transformations consist of flipping out the beast torso to form "legs", and flipping back the beast head to reveal the robot head. The robot forms are ''exceedingly'' kibble-laden, with beast arms, legs, heads, tails and wings all hanging off, hoping not to be noticed. They also tend to have rather stunted robot-mode arms. Articulation is limited to a single swivel joint at each shoulder, and knee joints (not very useful due to their fused unifeet.) Beast mode articulation is much more wide-ranging, with most beast limbs having a swivel joint. They can wield their guns in either mode.

: The team does not share common plastic colors, but their collective palette is dominated by light gray, yellow, blue, purple and magenta.
