Some official images of the Target Exclusive Beast Hunters Abominus giftset have been released by Hasbro and have been brought to our attention by 2005 Boards member juise. The giftset collects the five Legion Class Cyberverse Predacons Hun-Gurr, Rippersnapper, Windrazor, Blight and Twinstrike in a single boxed set. The five Predacons, compared to their initial releases, feature some translucent plastic parts and translucent purple weapons.
You might also notice that the packaging for Predacon Abominus is a little different to the usual Beast Hunters packaging – it is mostly blue compared to the grey / silver of the majority of Beast Hunters packaging, and the line seems to have undergone another rebranding to add “Predacons Rising” as a subtitle to Beast Hunters. In a pleasing move though, packaging art is back! A large piece of art of the combined giant Abominus adorns the right hand side of the box.
Check out the images attached to this news post.

The problem is the arm bots, they'd have been much better with the muted body colours of the original rather than the bright green and baby blue of the Target versions

It's so ugly…

Found it today at Target

Seeing that already they've made a TF: P Predaking and atm TF: P figs are their main focus, highly doubtful on mini-gestalt team predacons/Predaking combiner.

since we got a mini abominus and they are all dragons does anyone else think that there is a slight chance we'll get a mini predaking or a mini dinoking?

anyone know the release date on this?

I think I would have liked it better if it was slightly larger.
Commanders, anyone?

No one said Takara's release will be more G1 color accurate…
They haven't posted photos yet.

Like I said… I'll wait for the Takara set with g1 colors and no translucent crap!

If I see this set hit clearance, I'll buy it. Otherwise, I'm sticking with the retail releases.

I love these and will be getting them though the light blue seems out of place here. And why didn't Hun-Grrrr get the translucent treatment?
Any new or recolored versions of these guys will be difficult for me to pass up!
The smaller sized Terrorcons have grown on me since acquiring them last week. I picture them swarming over unsuspecting Autobots to overwhelm them then combing for the kill.
edit: nvmd, I see Hun-Grrr has clear red plastic
Rotoraptor
They're only vaguely G1 accurate molds to begin with. None of the originals had any clear plastic in them, so I guess these would be less?
Girl Pants
Are any of these more G1 accurate than the separate-release ones? Not that G1 accuracy really matters to me in this came, just curious.
I already have Twinstrike, so I'm thinking I'll just get them separately anyway.

It was reported ages ago, but it kind of got forgotten what with anger over MP's and the ZOMG METROPLEX!!

No word yet, but I'm guessing $21-30 dollars given how many figures are in the set and what regular cyberverse goes for these days.
Hopefully it will and HLJ will put up pre-orders soon.
It's like he stepped on a nail and is too stupid too figure out what he's supposed to do so he just stands there in pain like a dimwit. I love it
I have to say this is kind of like a half-assed G2 deco that half way through they said screw it and just made things translucent. Which in a weird way I actually like. The disinterest though leaves me hopeful I won't have to pay full price for him which is always a plus in my books.
That box though. Just so much wasted space for box art. Really Hasbro? It's a nice piece of art, but you couldn't shrink it to be a little less wasteful. Oy.
Takara your move now.
Rewind
The clear plastic ensures I wont be getting this set.

Eww. I like most of these little guys, but if I were to ever pick them up, I'd go with the regular retail versions – those look much better in my opinion.
I just wish there was a version of Hun-Grr that had his colors inversed (and maybe a tad more pink too,so he looks better as Abominus, I can live that I'd then have an inverses Hun-Grr). That, and the combiner mode's headsculpt are the only two things bugging me – he's pure joy.

Can't unsee..

What gives with the derpy looking growl/grin on Abominus' box art? I can't stop looking at it.

Looks like a k.o. – I'll pick it up if it looks better in person or goes on sale
