about the head problem: the flap on the back of the head can be hinged slithly backwards and this allows you to move the head a bit more freely, hope this helps!

This and the siege seeker are still two of my favorites from the entire line, ER and Kingdom included. Something about the way they are updated works for me really well. Hound definitely is underrated though, all because his jeep mode isn’t G1 enough for some people

Siege Hound has got to be my favorite figure, ever since I got my first figure of this line, that being Shockwave, I knew I had to get Hound. It's nice to see that I am not alone in praising this amazing figure. Great work on the video by the way and keep up the good work!

[@PerspectiveEnd]

Thank you very much, and I intend to. Siege was so good. I love almost every last figure from it.

[@destronlaserwave9566]

I guess Hasbro's reason for not making an earth Hound (like Mirage and Sideswipe) is because this vehicle manages to look earth-like and cybertronian. Even if I'd love to see the earthmode Hound in some fashion, cause he's a actually one of my favorite designs, or maybe I should just buy the mp.

[@PerspectiveEnd]

I mean I think they were all Semi Earth Modes, cause the Siege Aesthetic was more Cyberpunk than Cybertron. I don't hear good things about the MP. I would have liked to have seen this tooled into something more Earthy too, that could have been cool.

[@dkkanofkash8798]

Siege Hound is the figure that got me into collecting War For Cybertron figures. I got it a year and a half after Siege came out, when Earthrise was already halfway through, because I didn’t want to get myself into doubling my Transformers collection with additional figures. I ended up throwing Hound’s box away which I usually don’t do because of how much I love the box art. However, I loved everything about the figure, the posability with the highly bendable knees, the accessories, the transformation, the look, and the ankle swivels. I ended up getting Earthrise Doubledealer, Netflix Wheelack, and Netflix Elita-1 afterwards, and as expected, my collection blew up, I ran out of space, and am not sure anymore if I will be able to afford the upcoming Legacy figures. But that’s too bad because I could not pass out on WFC.

[@PerspectiveEnd]

I'm basically out of space too. I need more shelves. Some of my stuff is just sitting on the floor now.

This is the figure that regnited my collecting instincts for Transformers after taking a break when Power of the Primes came out and was so disappointing. Damn this is a great figure.

[@PerspectiveEnd]

I liked PotP well enough, but man this figure was soooo good. You are not the first one to tell me a story like that.

[@MrWill7980]

The box art for hound was a spoiler for the GS hotshot repaint/retool of hound. The story I've heard is someone in the art dept accidentally put that image on there. Idk how true that is, but the image IS technically hotshot with hounds color scheme

[@PerspectiveEnd]

And Springer's face for some reason. What a weird mistake to make.

Got him when he came out. He's a happy in-between of Cybertronian vs. Earth-mode. I've seen comparisons of him to both Halo Warthogs & Hummers, sometimes in the same post. He's alien enough to be a proper Cybertronian off-road vehicle, but Jeep enough he won't stand out if put next to the Earthrise carsbots. Mine's currently sitting on Ravage, in his cage, courtesy of Centurion Drone, since Siege Soundwave can only accommodate so many Cassetticons.

I've not heard that about hotshot but I have heard that the Netflix version had that which is what lead to the snapped heads.

[@SidewaysPrimeYT]

this is my first figure in the WFC series and was only bought on luck alone after begging mum to get the figure (which was the only one in store and cost 20 Australian dollars). This figure started my love for transformers again and when ironworks came in and showed me the awesomeness of weaponizing, they got me started on a collecting journey that is still going on today. I'm the guy who keeps asking about the shattered glass figures and I realized why your's are taking so long to arrive. They have to wait for the Hasbro Pulse exclusive comics. Got my shattered glass Blurr a couple days ago and that head is so much better than the 86 figure. Sorry for the long comment.

[@PerspectiveEnd]

Don't worry your comment was not what I'd call long, and at least you used paragraphs, there are people who write stuff three times longer, and then don't break it up. Hasbro also hasn't sent my Transmutate, nor any of my Beast Wars Re-issues yet. And Yeah I get why this figure would be a big deal in sparking your passion for TF.

Yea, short, but cheerfull review. And as for the figure it's self, it is very nice indeed. Whitch make's me wonder why Hazbro didn't try to use it more. Like, Cybertron Defence Hot-Shot remold is nice. But to say this figure has much, MUCH more potencial is an understatement. And I even gonna bet if they did Iron Fist remold, they would preaty much "fly off the shelfs" like crazy. Plus maybe characters like Crankcase, or maybe even Skids before they anouced his new figure. And as for the question of the video... You mentioned that after looking up Hound's gun, you where inspired to create all kinds of weapons attachments. With the only reason why that sparked snaped, been the lack of 3D printer. So, what kind of attachments you where thinking about?

[@PerspectiveEnd]

Those would all work, but also I think a Swindle, and they could have retooled this to an Earthmode for ER. I designed all manner of magazine, I made it so the gun could be flipped upside down to be a different type of gun. Had scopes that could come off. I made a scope that was a 4 MM Peg with a blast effect peg on the front so it could be a light saber too. I had so many cool designs for it.

Late as I was to getting back into collecting, it was already half way into Earthrise. As such, finding myself a hound took longer than most, next to Ratchet he was one of the last five in fact. My first experience with the mold was the Hot Shot repaint, very glad to have both now, easily one of my favorites. My one minor problem is the difficulty getting the shoulder canon to sit right in the shoulder port, but that could just be me doing it wrong.

No surprise that there were issues with the regular Siege Hound, too.

Hound was definitely one of the best figures in Siege despite his few flaws. For me, though, Mirage, Ironhide, Springer, & Ultra Magnus are favorites.

Another remould idea is combiner wars roller/rook mainly changing the front of the bumper and it could work.

[@PerspectiveEnd]

Yeah this could have worked for a swindle, or a Bulkhead.

I know I'm kinda late to this party, but, suggestion... If ya wanna put the cherry on top of this guy, get the ToyHax/Reprolables set for him... The roof and the GI Joe sticker kinda put it over the top, for me.

[@PerspectiveEnd]

See I don't want that. This is Cybertronian Hound for me, so him being part of GI Joe doesn't make sense.

[@Ordo_Draugrbane]

@@PerspectiveEnd I hear ya. With Hasbro not making an earth mode figure, for him, I kinda have the head cannon that he said “Nah, I don’t need to change my alt mode” when he saw GI Joe vehicles after coming to Earth. Yea, I’m kinda goofy, sometimes.

[@jaspinflame670]

Really cool toy with really cool exceseries although I never understood the promotional art for hounds blaster, wouldn’t it make more sense for the drum magazine to be on the left side of the blaster, so it would be easier to reload with his left hand, instead of having to reach around the right side of the blaster to reload I know that’s like a super tiny nit pick of the toy

[@PerspectiveEnd]

That's where I like putting it because I think it looks good, there are examples of guns with side mounted magazines that point away from the user, but not too many. Could mean that it's a gun for a left hander, and he is using it righty.

[@odessondiaz2553]

Sadly my hound was hurt by QC and it was his neck which is sad bc he was one of my favorite figures

[@PerspectiveEnd]

I take it your's had the head break off?

[@odessondiaz2553]

@@PerspectiveEnd worse the neck connecting to the ball joint like in my area ive been seeing QC issues alot even with the boxes like my 86 blurr the box looks like it was chewed off

[@tceabss2664]

Hound was retooled into Cybertron defense Hotshot that's probably why the boxart head looks like that to let us know it's coming

[@PerspectiveEnd]

That's a very weird decision to put a different figures art on a box to teas something coming later.

[@tceabss2664]

@@PerspectiveEnd yeah it kinda is

[@guardedbasket]

A cool fact about his alt mode is that he can fit at least one titan master in the driver’s seat. Kinda

[@PerspectiveEnd]

I would not describe that as fitting at all.

[@speeddemon5339]

At least Siege Prime didn’t have seats.

[@PerspectiveEnd]

Why is that relevant.

[@gabetheanimator6768]

Great video! I should have bought him when I saw him.

[@PerspectiveEnd]

Yeah, some other people said they passed him up too. I'd say he's good enough to track down even still provided you don't over pay for him.

[@badongadong3320]

I think you should make a video about some of the Titans and I do really like the vehicle/alt mode

[@PerspectiveEnd]

Like what do you mean by that? A video on the figures or the history of them, or something else?

[@awanderer3047]

Canned air is the miracle cleaner for dust, if you can, i recommend it. Though if the dust builds to heavily, it might not work that well.

[@PerspectiveEnd]

I do have that stuff, and yeah, it only works so well. It can be super helpful, but there are limits to it's power.

[@XCATX25]

It's because IT IS Hotshot head, just in green

[@PerspectiveEnd]

Yeah, but it's got Springers face.

[@lucastheprime787]

What would you feel if the Swindle was a heavy retool of this guy?

[@PerspectiveEnd]

I'd like that, provided we get an actual Combiner Swindle later.

[@majinlifestyle]

It’s funny you say that hound could be remolded into bulkhead, toyhax made a label set that converts hound into bulkhead.

[@PerspectiveEnd]

I did not know about that before making this video.

[@ironthanos2190]

1:14 Funny thing is, Toyhax released a conversion set for this figure to turn him into Bulkhead

[@PerspectiveEnd]

I did not know that before posting this video.

[@DiggitySlice]

4:57 or like the real life PIAT, which was essentially just a giant spring loaded tube that threw anti tank rounds. They were clunky, unreliable, and you had to get uncomfortably close to the target to use it. A lot of infantrymen hated it.

[@PerspectiveEnd]

I was actually going to say the PIAT, but I assumed much of my audience might not know what that is. The PIAT was plenty Reliable, It just might not recock it self on firing.

[@Glucenaphene]

This figure feels like it could be retooled into a halo warthog that turns into master chief lol

[@Glucenaphene]

And then make a scorpion based off of generations warpath for good h-tank engineering lol (heres an old emgo review of it for reference: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pqTLo3toisiKiJIsi=MebE5-bQ0ixFKTKL )

I'm just surprised they havent done that yet.

@@PerspectiveEnd Movie the best hound just because he has a lot of weapons and we need more figures that have a Armory of weapons

Siege is pretty much Hasbro’s best work. Especially Hound, my dad’s favourite in the Bay films 💚

I can say for sure that he is very different in every media other than the Bay Films.

[@Tylerispissed]

I pulled the missile part of siege Ratchet's weapon out and put it in Hound's shoulder cannon. I was just messing around, but I can't ever display him without it now.

[@PerspectiveEnd]

Interesting. I guess that would make it more complete.

Comment 2 of 50 Hound is a fat ballerina in the movies

[@PerspectiveEnd]

And he jiggles weirdly.

One of my favorites of the line too.
