Hun-Gurrr is a Decepticon Terrorcon in the Generation 1 continuity family.

My need to feed gives me the will to survive!

Hun-Gurrr is the leader of the Terrorcons and would be quite the model Decepticon and military strategist if he could just stop stuffing his two mouths. Hun-Gurrr is a terrible glutton, constantly filling his stomach with as much energy and materials as he can find. He only ever stops his insatiable feeding frenzies to fulfill his other desire: wanton destruction. In this capacity he is quite adept as a military leader, although his underlings are sometimes unable to understand his commands when Hun-Gurrr has stuffed his face(s) full of fallen Autobots.

Hun-Gurrr can combine with the other Terrorcons to form Abominus. His name is also spelled Hun-Grr, Hun-Garr, and Hun-Grrr.

Having been banned from Chaar's all-you-can-eat buffets, Hun-Grr contemplates eating his own hand.

Hun-Grr and the rest of the Terrorcons were first encountered when Galvatron went to Unicron's head to acquire anti-electrons. During a fight with the Autobots, the Terrorcons did a decent job of fighting them, with Hun-Grr grabbing Rodimus Prime with his mouths. However, Grimlock created the Technobots, and Hun-Grr ordered the Terrorcons to merge into Abominus. The Technobots merged into Computron, but Abominus grabbed Computron. The Autobot combiner defeated Abominus by vibrating, forcing Abominus to separate back into his component Terrorcons. Grimlock's New Brain

Hun-Grr and the Terrorcons were next seen in the employ of the Quintessons, attacking rogue trader Dirk Manus. At some point, the Quintessons have installed an automatic timer on one or all of the Terrorcons, limiting the time they can spend combined as Abominus. Money Is Everything

Hun-Grr was one of the Primitives summoned to fight Tornedron. During the interaction with the Primitives, Hun-Grr picked fights with everyone for any possible reason. While stuck on the world of Primacron's assistant, Hun-Grr attempted to fight Tornedron by spitting chewed-up rocks at the energy being. This was actually not an entirely unreasonable tactic, given that Tornedron was plainly feeding off the energy weapons all of the other Primitives were using against him. It didn't work, though. Call of the Primitives

Hun-Grr led the Terrorcons' attack on Jessica Morgan's father's laboratory, intending to steal a new super-alloy for Galvatron. They were delayed for a moment by the Technobots, but a quick merge into Abominus blasted Computron out of the battle long enough for the Terrorcons to grab the alloy. As the Technobots attacked again, Hun-Grr said "Got what we came for! We go, fight another day!" and they took off. The Return of Optimus Prime, Part 1

In 2007, Hun-Grr and the Terrorcons participated in an attack on Autobot City in order to draw the Autobots' attention while Wingspan and Pounce stole the Key to the Plasma Energy Chamber. The Rebirth, Part 1 They were later seen wearing down the Autobot defenses on Cybertron. The Rebirth, Part 3

Seeking to create a Decepticon Zone to counter the Autobot Zone, 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. Hun-Gurrr was one of those summoned, but only as a part of Abominus. Zone Part 1 Transformers: Zone Enter the New Supreme Commander, Dai Atlas!

He spits, then.

Hun-Grr and the Terrorcons travelled to Nebulos with Scorponok, serving as his primary minions besides the Headmasters and Targetmasters. Love and Steel! While battling the Autobots at the Nursery, Hun-Garr showed that even he won't eat some food when he caught Crosshairs's rocket-propelled grenades in his twin heads and then immediately spit them back out at his opponent. Brothers in Armor!! The Decepticons eventually left Nebulos for Earth, and entered into talks with Ratbat's crew who were already stationed there. The talks didn't go too well. Looking out the window of their starship, Hun-Grr and Triggerhappy saw the Predacons attacking Scorponok and his entourage. They rallied their fellow Decepticons and led them out into a Decepticon Civil War against Ratbat's troops. Cold War! Soon after, Hun-Grr and the Terrorcons were destroyed battling Starscream. Dark Star

Marvel UK future timelines

By 2008, Hun-Grr was repaired and serving under Shockwave's command on Cybertron when ol' one-eye was assassinated by the minions of Unicron, leaving Scourge and Cyclonus to lead the Decepticons into an ill-advised conflict with the Autobots. It was Hun-Gurrr who pointed out to Soundwave when Cyclonus and Scourge fled the field of battle, and together they then sounded the retreat for all the Decepticons. The Legacy of Unicron! Later, Hun-Grr is seen among Soundwave's top generals and sub-commanders rocketing into battle. Space Pirates!

Eating the humans, on the other hand, is perfectly okay

In 2009, Hun-Grr and the Terrorcons carried out Soundwave's important plan to ransack Earth and leech energy out of the planet itself. Hun-Grr showed more competence than the other Terrorcons, forcing them to stop attacking human settlements for fun when they should be working. Amusingly, he also reacted quickly after overhearing humans wondering where the Autobots were, and announced to the fleshlings that the Autobots had been their advance guard, softening up the population for the kill. Heh. Decepticon humor.

After the Autobots destroyed their energy leech machine, Soundwave and the Terrorcons followed them back to Autobot City and found an open trans-time dimensional portal back to 1989. Hun-Grr insisted they follow the Autobots back into the past and seek revenge, and Soundwave agreed in order to maintain a good relationship with his men. Once there, however, they learned of the all-encompassing timestorm, and its threat to the entire timestream. Realizing the threat was too large to handle themselves, Soundwave and Hun-Grr had the Terrorcons quietly extract themselves from the battle with Galvatron and his allies, and transported back to 2009. Time Wars

Dreamwave comics continuity

During the early stages of the war, Hun-Grrr attacked Iacon's armory and was defeated by an Autobot group consisting of Broadside, Vibes and others. The War Within #4

G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers

Hun-Grrr and his Terrorcons were among the scattered Decepticons that the newly arrived Serpent O.R. united in his bid to take over Cybertron. Although he was doubtful about being ordered around by such a tiny being and not too happy about working with the "obsolete" Predacons, Hun-Grrr saw the light when Serpent O.R. plugged into his brain and proved that he was the "son" of Megatron. The Art of War #3

When Serpent O.R. was assaulted by Optimus Prime, Hun-Grrr took him on alongside several other combiner team leaders—and was promptly knocked out. He only regained consciousness when the battle was over, and not sure what was going on, decided to kill the weakened Optimus Prime anyway... only to be blasted through the chest by the 70mm cannon on Cover Girl's A.W.E. Striker. Oh bummer... The Art of War #5

IDW comics continuity

Back before the war, Hun-Grrr fought for Megatron in illegal gladiatorial deathmatches. Megatron Origin #2

He was elected unanimously, with one abstention. He ate his own ballot.

In the present, he's the president of the Official Sixshot Fanclub. He and the other Terrorcons were sent to Mumu-Obscura, but were taken prisoner by the Reapers to lure Sixshot to the planet. The Reapers offered membership to their little club so long as Sixshot destroyed the Terrorcons. When they thought Sixshot was seriously considering the offer, Hun-Grrr tried to persuade Sixshot that the Decepticon war machine didn't need the Reapers, as he already had a group of misfit friends in the Terrorcons. He was left speechless when Sixshot demonstrated his skill to the Reapers by intentionally missing the Terrorcons, and the Reapers allowed the Decepticons to leave in peace. Spotlight: Sixshot

Hun-Gurrr transforms into a white/grey and purple two-headed dragon (specifically an "Algean Two-Headed Razor Beast", if the biography of his Shattered Glass counterpart is to be believed). He has plenty of articulation for a Generation 1 toy in this mode, located mostly in the beast mode necks, and this extends to his robot mode, with multiple points in his arms and legs. One can attach Abominus's chest plate onto his shoulder in robot mode. Hun-Gurrr combines with his fellow Terrorcons to form Abominus, serving as the super-robot's torso. He can also combine with any other Transformers that use the Scramble City-style connection system.

There is a later-run variant of Hun-Gurrr which does not have the rubsign indent on his bicep/hindleg.

Notes

It seems to be some kind of high-tech ice cream dispenser. How fitting.

• The spelling of Hun-Gurrr's name has varied a lot. The spelling used for the title of this article appears on the toy's packaging and instructions, and in the 1987 toy catalog. Conversely, the toy's tech specs, the 1988 toy catalog, Blot's Transformers Universe profile, Dreamwave's More Than Meets The Eye entry for the character, Devil's Due Press fiction, and IDW publications like "Spotlight: Sixshot" and The Ark all spelled it Hun-Grrr. Finally, the Marvel Comics and cartoon series scripts spelled it Hun-Grr except "Brothers in Armor!!", where he was Hun-Garr. Phew.

• Hun-Gurrr's character art shows that he has an aborted base mode. The toy is capable of assuming this mode, but it doesn't look like much of anything. It does explain why the toy has knees that otherwise would not be needed for transformation, a feature that is not shared by many Generation 1 toys.

• Hun-Gurrr is not Hungarian. He's Hun-Gurrrian.
