\"\"<\/a>As fate would have it, a couple days after my Twinstrike review I stumbled across another Predacon on a trip to Walmart.\u00a0 So since I’m still having fun with the little guys, the next figure on the way to completing Abominus is Cyberverse Legion Hun-Gurrr.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately I don\u2019t have any childhood memories of the rest of the G1 Predacons. \u00a0Sinnertwin was the only one I had as a kid, so I don\u2019t have any more of those nice comparison shots of old and new together.\u00a0 TF Prime\u2019s Hun-Gurrr isn\u2019t as much of a straight translation from his G1 counterpart like Twinstrike is though.\u00a0 So the upside is that this will be an entirely new toy experience without any of that rose colored nostalgia getting in the way.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The back of the box doesn\u2019t really give us much on Hun-Gurrr\u2019s personality aside from the fact that he\u2019s a rampaging terror.\u00a0 Like Twinstrike, there\u2019s not even information about him being one of the bots that forms Abominus.\u00a0 But he does make up the torso section, so I\u2019m assuming Hun-Gurrr is at least the leader of his platoon of smaller Predacon buddies.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Sculpt wise I\u2019m actually pretty happy with this little guy.\u00a0 Cyberverse figures tend to sacrifice one mode for the other, but these little Predacons have turned out really well so far.\u00a0 This is probably because their alternative dragon forms are organic, which is easier to redirect naturally into the robot mode than a car.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I was actually surprised to be happier with his robot mode than his dragon.\u00a0 He may be little, but with the sculpted shoulder pads, chest armor and helmet, Hun-Gurrr looks like a tiny linebacker that would be impossible to knock down.\u00a0 Even though his dragon-head feet look like children\u2019s slippers, I think the effect works much better than Twinstrike\u2019s dragon-head hands.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

But my favorite aspect to Hun-Gurrr\u2019s bot mode is his Wolverine-like claws that can be folded down over his hands.\u00a0 It\u2019s definitely a cool little bonus that gives him a couple extra weapons.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Hun-Gurrr\u2019s robot mode is pretty nice also.\u00a0 Like Twinstrike he\u2019s also a two headed dragon, but his body retains a lot of that bulk. This makes him look much more dangerous than Twinstrike\u2019s leaner dragon form.\u00a0 The figure differs a bit from his G1 look though and now stands on two legs instead of four.\u00a0 I like that they gave him T-Rex arms, it really helps keep the bulk of the figure centered on his body.\u00a0 Continue to page 2…<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Like I mentioned earlier, Hun-Gurrr forms Abominus\u2019 torso and head.\u00a0 Basically you just turn the figure around and spread his arms and legs for the other Predacons to clamp on to.\u00a0 Abominus and Hun-Gurrr\u2019s heads are sculpted on the same revolving piece of plastic and you just have to flip one down for the other flip up.\u00a0 I\u2019m going to save my judgment of Abominus for when he\u2019s complete, but I do have a couple of issues already.\u00a0 His head sculpt looks a bit plain, or even happy.\u00a0 A guy named Abominus should never look happy.\u00a0 I also can\u2019t help but feel that Hun-Gurrr should have been a Cyberverse Commander Class figure.\u00a0 This would have made him a much bulkier torso.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Hun-Gurrr\u2019s colors are a call back to his G1 counterpart, only a bit brighter.\u00a0 The figure is mostly made up of light gray or maroon plastic, with a few of the overlapping areas painted.\u00a0 The maroon plastic also has bits of glitter, which doesn\u2019t look quite as muddled as the mixed in swirls of the larger figures.\u00a0 The figure also has a few yellow and silver highlights painted on.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Hun-Gurrr has decent articulation, especially for his class.\u00a0 In bot mode his shoulders and hips are ball joints.\u00a0 His ankles are hinges and his biceps are swivels.\u00a0 Unfortunately neither his bot head nor his Abominus head are articulated.<\/p>\n

In dragon mode his heads, arms, and ankles are hinges.\u00a0 His hips and necks are ball joints, while his thighs are swivel joints.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Hun-Gurrr comes with one accessory, a \u201cDragontooth Saw\u201d.\u00a0 It\u2019s a cool looking blaster with a chainsaw-like bayonet.\u00a0 He looks good holding the weapon, but I don\u2019t think it was originally intended for him.\u00a0 The Cyberverse Soundwave also comes with the same gun.\u00a0 Hun-Gurrr also can\u2019t store the gun naturally in this dragon form.\u00a0 It just kind of hangs off him awkwardly.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Even though I do wish the figure was in the larger Cyberverse scale, Hun-Gurrr still makes for a pretty decent toy.\u00a0 He\u2019s got some really nice articulation and detail, especially for his size.\u00a0 I love his Wolverine claws, and being one step closer to a pint sized gestalt is pretty much why I\u2019m collecting these guys now.<\/p>\n
