Abominus (G1)

Abominus is a Decepticon from the Generation 1 continuity family.

When a gu's knees have teeth, it's time to panic.

Even more so than the other Decepticon combiners, Abominus is a being of mindless fury. He's not truly a warrior - he's an animal, the destructive rages of the Terrorcons that compose him personified. His commanders can't give him orders simplistic enough for him to understand, so they just point him in the direction of objects that need to be smashed, and turn him loose. The only thing that distinguishes him from a wild beast is the enjoyment he derives from his terrible rampages.

Abominus is the combined form of all five Terrorcons:

• Hun-Gurrr (leader)
• Rippersnapper
• Blot
• Sinnertwin
• Cutthroat

(Abominus is referred to as one of the Nine Great Demon Generals. This terminology, coupled with the presence of the previously deceased Black Zarak in their ranks and Violen Jygar's supernatural origins, could mean that Abominus died previously to Zone and was likewise brought back to life. However, this is unconfirmed, meaning that Violen Jygar may have simply recruited the still-living Abominus to be a General.)

When Violen Jygar siezed command of the Decepticons, his first act was to recruit nine Demon-Generals from Decepticon history. Abominus was selected to be one of those Generals and was given the rank of Monster General as well as new power and weaponry to make him an even greater threat than before. Abominus was sent to the Planet Feminia to wreak havoc along with Menasor and Overlord. Together, the three Decepticon Demon-Generals destroyed the entire planet and nearly killed Victory Saber in the process.

Abominus is formed out of all five Terrorcons. As a Scramble City combiner, each smaller Terrorcon attach as limbs into the central body, Hun-Gurrr. He is completed by attaching fists, feet, a large chestplate, head and is armed with Hun-Gurrr's rifle.

Similarly to Superion, Hun-Gurrr's own slender legs leads to Abominus having some disproportionately thin thighs.

Thanks to Hun-Gurrr's articulation, Abominus is perhaps the most poseable of the Generation 1 combiners. He can swing his legs forwars and backwards as well as to the side, and also has knees, even if they are a little high.

Only the individual Terrorcons were sold in most markets. The giftset was only released in Italy and Japan.
