Revision as of 04:44, 11 October 2007
- Hun-Gurrr is a Decepticon Terrorcon in the Generation One continuity family.
My need to feed gives me the will to survive.
Hun-Gurrr is the leader of the Terrorcons and would be quite the model Decepticon and military strategist if he could just stop stuffing his two mouths. Hun-Gurrr is a terrible glutton, constantly filling his stomach with as much energy and materials as he can find. He only ever stops his insatiable feeding frenzies to fulfill his other desire: wanton destruction. In this capacity he is quite adept as a military leader, although his underlings are sometimes unable to understand his commands when Hun-Gurrr has stuffed his face(s) full of fallen Autobots.
Hun-Gurrr can combine with the other Terrorcons to form Abominus.
