| The name or term "Hun-Gurrr" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Hun-Gurrr (disambiguation). |
- Hun-Gurrr is a Predacon from the Prime portion of the Aligned continuity family.
Sure, he's strong. Sure, he's powerful. Sure, he's a leader to certain Predacons. You know what, though? To Hun-Gurrr, those things just aren't as important as a good meal. Shockwave gave him a second head in the hopes of making him smarter, and he succeeded... slightly, all while making Hun-Gurrr twice as voracious. Hey, at least the Autobots have good reason to be twice as scared now, because they'd like him even less when he's twice as hungry.
He and several of his fellow Predacons combine to form Abominus.
Fiction
Full of Fire!
Hun-Gurr[sic] joined five other Predacons in an attack on the Autobots. Unfortunately the Autobots had just built themselves new weapons, which proved to be more than effective against the Predacons. Hun-Gurr and Blight experienced Bulkhead's Rhino Blade, and that was enough to send them packing. The Predacons were beaten into a retreat, and withdrew back to the Nemesis. Full of Fire!

Toys
Cyberverse
- Hun-Gurrr (Cyberverse Legion, 2013)
- Accessories: Dragontooth Saw
- Part of the second wave of Prime: Beast Hunters Series 3 Cyberverse Legion Class toys, Hun-Gurrr transforms into a bipedal twin-headed dragon, and comes with a "Dragontooth Saw." His hands can hold the weapon via the latter's three 3mm posts, and he and the weapon feature numerous 3mm mounting points.
- Though not called out in the instructions, Hun-Gurrr combines with Cyberverse Twinstrike, Windrazor, Predacon Rippersnapper, and Blight to form Abominus, with Hun-Grrr forming the torso.
- There was a running change to Hun-Gurrr during his production run. Early specimens couldn't fold the claws over all the way in both directions due to problems with the plastic tolerances. Later batches, including those released in international markets, had the problem fixed, now being able to fold over the claws all the way like they were intended to. All subsequent releases and redecos of the sculpt came with problem-free claws.
