Hun-Gurrr

This is part five of my six part Terrorcon spotlight. Today I will be taking a quick look at one of the best designed figures from the Generation One toy line, Hun-Gurrr! He is the leader of the Terrorcons and transforms into a two headed dragon.

Hun-Gurrr is hands down, the best looking Terrorcon released and is also one of the best designed Generation One Transformers in terms of robot mode articulation. To transform him from dragon mode to robot mode, you flip the dragon heads up to form the feet, align the legs to their original position, flip up the dragon feet on the hind legs, flip out the hands, flip the tail back, rotate the head, and fold the front dragon legs to the robot's back. Hun-Gurrr is simply an excellent looking figure. He has about 15 points of articulation. While that seems really common today, back then this was unheard of for a Generation One toy.

Hun-Gurrr also transforms into the torso of Abominus, the Terrorcons' super mode. Abominus' chest plate can be attached to Hun-Gurrr's arm to create a shield. The figure was the only Scramble City torso figure to not feature a base mode. The underside of Hun-Gurrr suggests that there was one intended for the figure, but it was aborted so no additional pieces were added to flesh it out. Even without the pieces, with all of the leg articulation, you could create your own base mode. I know I certainly did when I was a kid.
