The Energon Pub

Here is a treat for you Cyberverse fans out there. Seibertron.com has added new galleries of Windrazor, Rippersnapper, Blight and the combined form of Abominus.

As if you needed a new reason to revisit the galleries of Hun-Gurr and Twinstrike, they have been updated to include group shots of their fellow "Terrorcon" Predacons as well as comparison shots with their G1 incarnations.

Abominus is the second Cyberverse/Legion class combiner following Revenge of the Fallen Devastator. The galleries are waiting for you to explore below.

Transformers Prime Beast Hunters Cyberverse Twinstrike

How tall does Abominus look compared to his Deluxe and Voyager class Predacon brethren (i.e. - Lazerback, Ripclaw, Grimwing, etc.)?

You'll have to use your imagination but here are some other comparison pics from the gallery ...

well, the legends devastor is about deluxe size (a bit squat, but still the right size) so i'd imagine he's slightly shorter than a deluxe

Now you can see that the G1 combiners were mostly the Leader with shoes and short arms.
I do whish they had a bigger head, don't mind a loose one.

Great galleries as usual!

Can't wait to get the giftset on this guy.

And dare I say, Shockwave and Screamer are next?

Ooooh, I can't wait to get the rest of the Terrorcons. So far I only have Twinstrike. I'm amazed by how much these guys mach and improve their G1 counterparts.

With the exception of Hun-Grrr. I agree with the other people who say he should've been a commander class. Still grabbing him though.

Nice pics as always. I take it cutthroat and sinnertwin cant be reversed as legs for a proper G1 look ? I would love to see a fan mode without the big hands and maybe a 3rd party add on set to make him look more serious.

Sure they can.

Oh my god. I NEED this. TO LIVE.

I never realized that g1 hun-grr was so huge. I haven't had an opportunity to compare them in years. He is wildly out of proportion. Even though I wish BH Hun-grr was commander class and purple I really like these.

Nice! Really looking forward to completing my combiner now.
Hopefully these guys show up soon round my way.

Pretty sweet, I'm trying to stay away from TF Prime figures at the moment but I may change my mind after all.

I don't believe they can. There's a special connector tab for the legs pieces and a different tab system for the arms. You could swap an arm for an arm or a leg for a leg, but not a leg for an arm.

If I'm mistaken, please let me know so that I can provide pictures of Abominus with his limbs in the G1 positions.

They are on the gallery menu for this week. I'm going to work on cropping their photos today and hopefully working on some other new galleries in a couple of hours.

Messing around with mine, I couldn't find a way to Scramble City the limbs either. Not a big deal though, I'm not crazy about the combined mode on this guy and will probably keep him unassembled since I like the look of the team.

I agree with your thoughts about the individual members, ScottyP. Seems like that's been the trend on combiners for the past decade anyways. I think it's been since RID and Beast Wars since we've had decent looking combiners.

Windrazor is awesome for a Legion Class figure. They crammed a lot into that little guy.

Hope we see more Combiners at this scale.

Excellent pics! I really like how surprisingly posable he is. And as ridiculous as some people think his combined mode is, i feel it works really well with these guys. I wouldn't want Abominus to be trim, neat and tidy. There's gotta be some ugly in there. With that being said. I think Hasbro did a great job on the colour scheme and paint apps as well. Much better colours than the Target box set. IMO

I'm only missing RipperSnapper and Hun-Grrr for the set. Hun-Grrr is very hard to find. But i'll be stoked when the set is done.

I'm with the group here on this one that Hun-Gurr should've been at least a Commander Class figure if only to give Abominous a body more proportional to the rest of him. 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.

I'll definitely be picking them up, but probably won't combine them.

I managed to get a decent leg mode out of Twinstrike. I don't know how well the others will work when switched around since he and Hun-Gurrr are the only ones I have

From what I've heard you can switch them around, but the connection for the legs to be used as arms is tenuous at best.

And by tenuous, I mean "the arm just hangs there not really connected to anything".

Peaugh managed to make an Abominus from one Hun-Gurrr and four Twinstrikes.

What about the Energon combiner molds?

As you can see in Peaugh's video around the 8 minute mark is that Blight and Rippersnapper don't have a way to connect as arms unfortunately.

Ah, I see.

Tis a shame, then.
