Takara Transformers Generations Selects Abominus Revealed

I found Hun-gurr totally different.

The rest were decal changes (Terrorcons), but for Hun-Gurr? its different.

It still needs some Shapeways dragon-head-knees, but this looks about as good as PotP Abominus with that one 3P upgrade that included a purple head (and while that one has its own dragon knees, the the thigh parts attaching it suck because they fall off too easily). So I guess I'll be almost triple-dipping once this comes out.

Apparently a Call of the Primitives head would just be too awesome to ever happen in toy form.

Volcanicus-Reduxus is a hard pass for me, but this set being announced so soon after is getting me more excited for the possibility of Selects Monster Pretenders and Dinoforce in the near future.

Looks pretty nice, definitely an improvement on the POTP release. Not sure I care enough about Abominus to get it but it's cool it exists.

I like, the changes are enough for me to buy the set again. I just hope Cutthroat's bird head doesn't fall off all the time this time.

I really quite like it. Not enough to double dip, but enough to say I like it. If I could get that Hun Gurr by himself with the big gun and the hands and feet, I would feel satisfied, the 4 limb guys are all really good on my PotP version.

I really like the color of the combined head and the new chest, they look really nice.

Like Volcanicus with the swords, I am satisfied with what I have but would like to cherry pick a couple of parts.

Canadian dollars maybe. USD it'll probably be the same price as God Neptune and Volcanicus on Pulse, around $185

I might have been into this if it were a bit more than a repaint job with new accessories (which, let's face it, aren't necessary if you got the Perfect Effect set for POTP Abominus). Not really anything to get excited about here...

I really liked the POTP Terrorcons (I was VERY happy they weren't left out of the main line of "combiners") but there was still room for improvement. It's too bad Takara didn't opt for any alterations on the actual figures.

I always thought POTP Rippersnapper's "wolverine" claws were a bit cheap - why not give him something more in line with what Blot has, and make the claws the same colour as the rest of his arms, instead of that awful neon blue? That would be more cartoon accurate, too.

Also, I wish they had fixed Hun-Grr's front legs... As they are, they're just so... dinky...

Hun-Gurrr does look great, and his shield to double as Abominus chest-plate is a great look!!! However, this set is a pass...I got the PotP Terrorcons with the PE add-on kit for the new fist, feet, and gun and won't replace him for nothing!!!

....Meh. Like the Dinobots, the new stuff is nice but I’m perfectly fine with the original Power of the Primes releases. Wake me up when they do a proper Liokaiser with Leozack and Jallguar, then we’ll talk.

Barricade though... I’m sold.

I'm in the same camo as most in that it is better, but not worth selling what I already have and trying to get this.

It's been so long since I handled my PotP Terrorcons, I was going to say "Yay for jaw articulation" buy they already have it

I'm actually glad with this reveal coming before the order period for Volcanicus is up. I was close to talking myself into pre-ordering Volcanicus and selling off the PotP versions in the event that Abominus might be wort it and wanting both to be the same for the Terrorcons. But now that I know there really isn't that much of an improvement for either set they are both solid passes.

Now, that isn't to say I won't be watching once they are out to see who has them in stock and whether they linger or go on sale and pull the trigger in the future, but for now my wallet can breath a sigh of relief.
