That is a great name for that!

Seconded. Totally awesome.

I must admit, I'm really impressed how this guy managed to go from a 4-limbed monster to a humanoid robot without sharing any limbs between modes (unless you count Hellboy mode). That there's just great engineering.

Awww, thanks guys.

I agree. There was a real possibility of going BW Primal on this and they really didn't. It's another thing I like.

Now, it would be perfect about 80% in size... Still, like Feral Rex, I can handle these monsters being ginormous given who they are. I may not display this one in combined mode anyway...

after looking at this topic for a while and watching reviews, i am really impressed on what they did with this figure, it's almost MMC-like.
unfortunately i'm already up to my neck in expensive third-party orders and lots of other stuff, so i won't be getting this at this moment. maybe in the future, unless MMC decides to give abominus a go and comes up with something superior

No pics of "Hellboy mode"?

Anyway, thanks for the pics. I think I'm sold on this guy.

Thanks!

I hit 'ship' after he finished processing, but he probably won't ship until Monday. Ah, well. I can wait.

The start of number eight for me!

Why would that be a problem? It would be a good use of parts that would otherwise end up as kibble and it would make him look pretty cool.

I mean, myself I kinda want a female Sinnertwin whose robot mode is a Siamese twin (like Flora and Fauna from The Addams Family) but that's probably never happening in a million years (which is a shame, as IIRC G1 Sinnertwin had no real characteristics beyond "he turns into a monster" and "he is really angry" which is hardly unique...)

Sinnertwin was an Orthrus from Greek Mythology:

I always thought it was cool they didn't go with the more common Cerberus.

Hah, that's pretty cool! The more you know I guess.

I mean, I still want my Siamese twin fembot Sinnertwin but that's interesting nonetheless. Of course I'm also of the opinion that Tentakil should be a girl and Nautilator should be a shy, clumsy bishounen (voiced by Megumi Ogata) so take my ideas with several truckloads of salt.

Okay, got my Blot and he's pretty cool. Transformation was a touch fussy, but nothing too bad. Blot was the only one of these guys I had growing up. It's a fine update. Now, bring on the rest for my Abominus!

Unique Toy O-02 Alberich (not Rippersnapper)

Thats hands down a beautiful shark-bot toy. Like how the sculpt looks in bot and shark modes. Think it looks way better than the HasTak TFP-BH Legends toy.

Don't like how it looks in Abonimus arm mode. Think the whole shark just hanging off the upper arm looks awful. Would have preferred the shark mode kibble been part of the upper and lower arm of Abonimus.

Think HasTak did such a terrible job in creating TFP-BH Abonimus. That it will be super easy for any 3rd party to create a better Terrorcons-Abonimus toy.
