Abominus (Prime)

The name or term "Abominus" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Abominus (disambiguation).

Abominus is a Predacon combiner from the Prime portion of the Aligned continuity family.

If any of these guys were revived in Predacons Rising, they would be both kinds of Terrorcon at once!

The combined form of five cloned Predacons, Abominus is the end result of Shockwave's questionably logical hypothesis that giving dangerous prehistoric creatures the ability to merge into a bigger dangerous prehistoric creature might make them easier to control. Instead, Abominus is an unstoppable engine of destruction with enormous power. Who could have predicted that?

He is the combined form of:

• Hun-Gurrr (leader and torso)
• Blight (left leg)
• Rippersnapper (right leg)
• Twinstrike (left arm)
• Windrazor (right arm)

Toys

Prime

• Twinstrike (Cyberverse Legion Class, 2013)
• Hun-Gurrr (Cyberverse Legion Class, 2013)
• Windrazor (Cyberverse Legion Class, 2013)
• Predacon Rippersnapper (Cyberverse Legion Class, 2013)
• Blight (Cyberverse Legion Class, 2013)
  • Accessories: Piston Hammer, Dragontooth Saw, Tornado Bow, Electrocharge Bow, Affliction Hammer

While this combination is not documented in their instructions, Prime: Beast Hunters Abominus is formed by combining the five Predacons, who were available separately in the first three waves of Series 3 Cyberverse Legion Class toys. Hun-Gurrr forms the torso, Twinstrike and Windrazor can form either arm, and Predacon Rippersnapper and Blight can form either leg (official art places Twinstrike and Blight on the left and Windrazor and Rippersnapper on the right). Their individual weapons can combine in many different ways to form larger weapons for Abominus to wield via 3 mm post. Abominus deviates from his G1 counterpart in that his arm and leg components are inverted.

Abominus was redecoed into Go! Goradora, while Abominus' limbs are redecoed as four of The Last Knight Infernocus's components: Thrash, Rupture, Gorge, and Glug.

The Old Ones had a hard year when they had to start manifesting through candy.

• Abominus (Giftset, 2013)
  • Accessories: Dragontooth Saw, Tornado Bow, Electrocharge Bow, Piston Hammer, Affliction Hammer

Part of the Beast Hunters: Predacons Rising subline imprint, Abominus is a giftset of Cyberverse Hun-Gurrr, Windrazor, Predacon Rippersnapper, Twinstrike, and Blight, slightly redecoed by way of translucent plastic replacing a main color of each character, as well as translucent purple weapons.

The back of the packaging mistakenly switches their names, resulting in Hun-Gurrr getting Twinstrike's name, Windrazor getting Hun-Gurrr's, Rippersnapper getting Windrazor's, and Twinstrike being called "Predacon Rippersnapper". Guess Blight got lucky.

This set was a Target exclusive in the United States and Canada, a Tesco exclusive in the United Kingdom, a Carrefour exclusive in France, a Ripley exclusive in Chile, and a Toys"R"Us exclusive in Australia much later, in late 2014.
