And unlike Computron, I don't believe there was an Abominus gift set, so he didn't even get tech-specs. Martin there's Japanese and, I think, Italian giftsets out there. Will look for the tech specs when home |

I love all the Terrorcons. Ridiculous, bonkers, fun toys, and Characters. But there is one stand-out character who is more ridiculous, bonkers and fun than the others.

     Blot and Hun-Grrr are the strongest (9), Cutthroat and Sinnertwin not far behind (8), while Rippersnapper is puny (3). Hun-Grrr is the cleverest (8), Blot the stupidest (2). Rippersnapper is the fastest (5), Blot the slowest (2). They all have endurance 9 or 10. Rippersnapper is second-in-command, Blot the dogsbody with the sub-warrior foot soldier rank of 4. Sinnertwin has courage 5, Blot and Hun-Grrr 10, the others 8. Hun-Grrr has the greatest firepower, followed by Rippersnapper. Blot has skill 5, the others 6 or 7. Martin |

Rippersnapper! I love his bipedal shark mode which I thought looked quite cute when I was young. (He was then outdone by Skalor the following year). Nice colours too.
Blot was a great concept, but the actual toy doesn't quite work for me (the Prime Wars one however does)
Sinnertwin, again, was a great concept but let down by the two animal mode heads being one static piece of uncoloured yellow plastic.
Cutthrout was probably the nicest toy - he had normal length robot arms - but was bit boring compared to the others.
And I just can't un-see that Hun-Grrr's monster mode is him laying on his back with his legs in the air.
All the Terracons toys would have benefited a lot from opening monster jaws.

Rippersnapper's 'Land-shark' mode is a fun concept. I loved Hun-Gar's articulation as a child. Always thought his strength was ten. It's ten in my Techspecs anyway.
Opening jaws... yes that would have been awesome.

Blot and Rippersnapper certainly do stand out from the others for originality of creature alt mode. Both are quite superb imaginative designs, with 'bipedal land shark' probably slightly the best. But, there's just something about Blot... squat, funny monster face, those fab great big arms. 2 two-headed dragon-types in the same team is... odd when you think about it. I remember thinking that as a child. And Cutthroat, whilst a fun toy, is just your typical flying (or jump-and-gliding) dinosaurish style monster. So yeah, Blot and Rippersnapper do stand out from the others.

Sorry, going to buck the trend here and go for Sinnertwin. As toys go POTP Blot is magnificent, but G1 Blot somewhere further down the scale for me and I like Sinnertwin's colour combination.
Of the tech specs Blot and Sinnertwin's are my favourites. I enjoy a good misfit Decepticon bio!

Blot does not know what to do.
Should Blot vote for Blot?
Blot's friend Ralph says Blot should vote Blot, but if Blot votes Blot won't Blot's Terrorcon friends be unhappy that Blot has not voted for them?

I, too, have voted for Blot. He was one of two I had a child and such a fun toy. I do, howver, reserve the right to change my vote to Hun-Grr if Blot is winning by a landslide and no-one votes for Hun-Grr.

Hun-Grrr is a good toy. He is a nice big torso figure. Nice weapons, nice articulation.

I'm very fond of the Terrorcons as a group, they bring something new to the table by doing decent beasts this small.
They're the first beasts we've encountered in 1987 ushering in the new status quo of Autobot vehicles vs Decepticon Beast. It's seen here in Technobots vs Terrorcons and then in the Headmasters and continues with the Headmasters into 1988. Meanwhile the old Cars vs Planes rivalry still exists in the Targetmasters.
I do think that maybe they made a mistake having two 2 headed beasts on the same team. OK one's a dragon and the other's a hellhound (SINNERtwin - Cerberus - sinner implies Hell, Hades) but Sinnertwin is a cracking toy, love his gun. Unfortunately the head has sheared on mine and I've read at least one other breakage with his green plastic this year. Rippersnapper's fab too and Cutthroat is a nice Rodan like toy.
But it has to be Blot

There is no question here. Blot is a walking Nose Monster. Blot is also the only Terrorcon I have ever owned. Blot is also Friend Blot.
What I am hinting at is that I may have voted for Blot...

Okay. I know I should vote Blot, because who doesn't love Blot? But I'm also applying the same criteria that I applied that made me not vote for Bumblebee in the first minibot vote, and that is: What stands out more on the catalogue page?
Unfortunately, that's not Blot, since he's shoved to the corner. Sinnertwin with his bright-yellow two-headedness is definitely a contender. But the clear winner is Rippersnapper. He's a walking land-shark! That's ridiculous! He gets both my eye and my vote. Which also makes this the first time I've not voted for a group leader, I think. The rebellion starts here!
