Abominus (SG)

Abominus is a heroic Decepticon combiner from the Shattered Glass continuity family.

I'll take "Box Art I'm Not Likely To Ever See" for 500, Alex.

Abominus is the combined form of the heroic Terrorcons, part of the Decepticons' project Operation: Combination to counter the Autobots' growing number of combiners.

Abominus is considered to be the best of the results, composed of a team of artists and scholars carefully matched together with thorough psychological testing. His role is that of keeper and protector of Cybertronian culture and philosophy. Along those lines, he is named after an Iaconian poem, possesses an "aesthetic sensory net" that allows him to assess the value of artwork and see through disguises and illusions, and even bases his fighting style on Kalistian interpretive dance.

In this combined form the Terrorcons' minds and abilities are carefully preserved and magnified by a factor of five, though as a result it takes a great deal of concentration to maintain the combination.^[1]

Abominus is composed of:

• Hun-Grrr (torso)
• Rippersnapper (left arm)
• Blot (right arm)
• Cutthroat (left leg)
• Sinnertwin (right leg)

Fiction

Fun Publications Shattered Glass continuity

Abominus was sent out by Reflector to confront Computron, who had been chasing Aquarius, Breakaway, Landquake, and Topspin on their way to the Decepticons' base. Reunification: Part 4

Apparently Computron was somehow dealt with, as Abominus was next seen facing Omega Doom, who had also recently arrived at the Decepticon base. Omega Doom brought Abominus to his knees with a cannon blast, but Omega's next shot was blocked by a force field that Nexus Prime projected around the beleaguered combiner just in the nick of time. It would seem that Abominus survived the rest of the battle without incurring much further damage, as Cutthroat was present and healthy-looking during Galvatron's farewell to Nexus Prime and Aquarius. Reunification: Part 6

Notes

• Abominus is colored like Generation 1 Computron.
