At current, Abominous looks like he's more limbs than torso. But I digress and I will still buy him with the rest of the Terrorcons. That is, if I can find Hun-Gurr to begin with. I can't believe there's only two of him to a case of 12, leaving Bumblebees, Airachnias, and Soundwaves to warm the pegs. Who am I kidding? Of course I can believe this is how Hun-Gurr is packaged. It is Hasbro I'm talking about here. Hasbro finally makes a Combiner that FANS are excited about and they make it damn near impossible to find the main figure that binds them altogether. That'll be my luck with these figures. When the other three hit the stores, I'll find and buy them but I'll still be without a Hun-Gurr. That'll bite.
Wouldn't it be great if Hasbro and Takara actually LISTENED to its fans and produced more combiners, only bigger, perhaps at least Deluxe size. Oh wait, sorry. I must've dozed off and had the most wonderful dream.
Hell, it only took them 30 years to get the Triple-Changers right (which I picked up my Springer and Blitzwing today at my local Wal-Mart Super Center). And like most fans, I want a do-over with Astrotrain and Octane so that they're Voyager Class too.

Target is getting the Abominus gift pack, and my guess is that it'll be the easiest way to actual collect this set, cause... yeah, I'm 100% in agreement with your statements.
The figures sold out on Hasbro Toy Shop ALREADY. What was that? Less than 10 hours after the news was reported on here? I have to be awake in the middle of the night on the off chance that Hasbro Toy Shop will carry 5 copies of a Rippersnapper, so I can buy one?!?
Can someone at Hasbro PLEASE explain the distribution situation with their TF toys? It's unbelievable that in an age of retail homogeneity, looking for the latest TF toys is a bigger gamble than a rigged roulette table in a back alley. With the ever rising price of gas, it's become an unsustainable LOCAL hobby. I'd really rather see the figures in an actual brick and mortar, but more and more, I'm seeing online shops (like Hasbro Toy Shops) as the only viable way to get FAN-POPULAR figures.
Is there a particular corporate impediment that keeps Hasbro from applying the sales data from its own online shop to the projected sales of TF's across all retail in the country? Surely, this kind of "SOLD OUT INSTANTLY!" phenomenon would encourage them to make assortments with better figures people actually want to buy? Surely?
