Abominus

The Terrorcons have never been reissued, any Terrorcon advertised as a reissue will most likely be counterfeit.

Packaging Guide - Giftset​​

  • Abominus has been reproduced and sold in a English language giftset which was never produced by Hasbro. The giftset was only released in Italy(GiG) and Japan (Takara).

  • The styrofoam is a reproduction of the GiG Abominus (Tundertron). Again it is poor quality and there are no lined circles on the styrofoam.

  • As there was no english language giftset, all Abominus english instruction manuals are counterfeits.
