| This article is about the cross-factional subgroup from Universe. For the Decepticon duo from Generation 1, see Horrorcon (G1). |
- The Horrorcons are subgroup from the Generation 1 continuity family (via the 2003 Universe series).
The Horrorcons are among the many Transformers caught up in the interdimensional war between the Children of Primus and the Minions of Unicron.
No, we don't know what makes a Horrorcon a Horrorcon.
They are:
Fiction
Beast Wars: Uprising
Leatherhide and Labrat, working for the Darksyders, produced the Horrorcons and Fuzors, at least in part by reverse engineering a captured cyborg. Derailment
Toys
Universe (2003)
- In 2004, a group of test shots made their way onto eBay of four redecos of toys from the Beast Wars toyline. Later, Hasbro's official website checklist shortly featured listings for two Universe "Halloween Horrorcon Value Packs" that were to be Walmart exclusives. This seems to explain why they were canceled: Walmart had taken a good half-dozen exclusives and released them more-or-less simultaneously, leading to a huge glut. A lot of other Transformers exclusives were canceled during the Universe era as well.
- Leatherhide vs. Blackarachnia (Halloween Horrorcon Value Pack,
200?)- Accessories: Launcher, 4 leg-missiles
- This two-pack would have contained a redeco of the original Tarantulas/Blackarachnia toy as Blackarachnia and a redeco of the Mutant Soundwave mold as Leatherhide. Blackarachnia would have been black with silver spider-legs and salmon-colored robot parts, while Leatherhide was to be blue with a yellow head and parts on his back.
- Nightprowler vs. Waspinator (Halloween Horrorcon Value Pack,
200?)- Accessories: Tail-gun, water-shooting gun, stinger-rifle
- This two-pack would have contained a redeco of the original Cheetor toy as Nightprowler and a redeco of the Transmetal Waspinator mold as the same character. Nightprowler's deco would have been mostly grey to represent a snow leopard in beast mode. Waspinator's was to come in black with opaque-salmon wings and lavender insect legs.
 Proceed on your way to oblivion. |
