- Horri-Bull is a Decepticon Headmaster in the Generation 1 continuity family.
Horri-Bull is indeed horrible, as well as Aw-Ful, Dis-Gusting, and Gnaw-C-8-Ing, but at least he's not a slob like Blot or Snapdragon or Landfill. Oh, he's a slob, all right, but he's a different sort; neither an ignorant, involuntary slob like the Terrorcon, nor an oblivious slob like Landfill, not even a lazy slob like Snapdragon. Never! He's a proud, oil-spitting, grease-oozing, smoke-belching filthmaster. Horri-Bull boasts, with real pride, that he can't remember his last bath. He believes this makes him unique among the Decepticons. If one were to object that it was not a specialty to take pride in, it would only bring pain and perhaps death by flamethrower, because Horri-Bull is also a horrible bully (ha ha), with a nasty temper and a mean streak wider than the oily trails he leaves.
It is only fitting that this uniquely repulsive Decepticon is paired with such a vile specimen of Nebulan ooze with legs - the vulgar talk shock-jock known as Kreb. Together, they make a team to be avoided, by Autobots and especially by women who love robots and the men who love them.
- French-Canadian name: Taureu
Fiction
Marvel Comics continuity
Horri-Bull's partner Kreb served as frontman for the Z Foundation, organized a team of human bounty hunters called the Roadjammers to hunt Autobots freelance for his leader, Scorponok. Unfortunately, the Roadjammers discovered Horri-Bull and his fellow Headmasters "behind the curtain" and tried to take them out as well. Lord Zarak was forced to sacrifice his "jammer"ed control over captured Autobots in order to revive his soldiers. Ca$h and Car-Nage!
When Scorponok and his greeting party were attacked while meeting with Ratbat's crew, Horri-Bull led the remaining army into battle against their fellow Decepticons. However, he was quickly sliced in two by Blitzwing. Cold War! He recovered, and continued serving under Scorponok, and later Bludgeon. He was last seen in the battle on planet Klo, before the Decepticons went into temporary exile. End of the Road!
(Note: Horri-Bull's origin is unknown. He was not one of the original Nebulan-bonded Decepticon Headmasters, so either Zarak recruited more Nebulan partners for the Decepticons behind-the-scenes in Headmasters #4, or returned to Nebulos for a recruitment drive at some later date.)
Dreamwave Comics continuity
Horri-Bull is briefly seen as a member of Starscream's Predacons during the Dark Ages, fighting off a raid by the Lightning Strike Coalition.
Toys
Generation 1
- Horri-Bull (Headmaster, 1988)
- Horri-Bull transforms into a robotic bull (though he more closely resembles the "terror dogs" from the Ghostbusters movie). His beast-mode back opens up to contain his Nebulan partner Kreb, who forms the robot mode's head. His twin-barreled tail-blaster becomes a hand-held weapon in robot mode.
- This mold was released in Japan without changes as Bullhorn.
