Just because Hound wasn't yellow enough to be a kid-appeal character doesn't mean that he doesn't have a lot of toys.

The Transformers

[edit]

Short but sweet.
The Transformers Hound was released as part of the initial Autobot assortment in 1984, transforming into a Mitsubishi Jeep J59. Mounted on the back of the vehicle mode is a large, vacuum metallized silver machine gun turret which doesn't really go anywhere in robot mode. Other vehicle accessories include a spare tire and a fuel canister which also don't really go anywhere in robot mode.
In robot mode, Hound is armed with a large, silver "holographic rifle" and a shoulder-mounted, spring-loaded, firing rocket launcher with three silver projectiles. The US version of this launcher had severely weakened springs for safety reasons. Due to his transformation, he ends up considerably smaller than the rest of the Autobot Cars in this mode.
The strip sticker numbered #10 on Hound's sticker sheet is supposed to be two stickers, which belong on either side of the waist. As the sticker is a single strip, and this placement isn't shown in the instructions, one often comes across Hound sticker sheets on the secondary market with solely #10 left unapplied!<ref>{{#if: If you look at Hound’s sticker application map, there is no mention of #10. Hilariously, looking on Google and eBay, I found used Hound stickersheets with only sticker #10 remaining on the sheet! I was clearly not the first person to have this problem.

There they were, on the sides of his waist… |"If you look at Hound’s sticker application map, there is no mention of #10.

This mold was originally released in 1982 in Takara's Diaclone line as the "J59 Jeep", coming with a blue-and-white pilot figure and several IP-infringing decals. This mold was also used to make the e-HOBBY exclusive Detritus.


Generation 2

[edit]
Sgt. Hound. Starring Steve Martin. (Hound is the white payloader.)
  • Sgt. Hound (Auto Roller, 1995)
  • Accessories: 4 missiles
A redeco of the Auto Roller Roadblock was planned for release in 1995 as "Sgt. Hound", but was one of several redecos and molds that were canceled with the end of the Generation 2 line. He would have transformed into a payloader. As an Auto Roller, a switch on his vehicle mode back end connects a gearing mechanism attached to his rear axle, which makes him autotransform from vehicle to robot mode when pushed forward, and back when pulled in reverse. His right arm ends in a spring-loaded missile launcher, while his left features a spring-gear-activated spinning circular saw. All four of his missiles can be stowed on his rear wheel wells. No known samples of the toy have surfaced.
This mold was also used to make Autocrusher from Beast Wars II.

We don't even exist among stuff that doesn't exist.
  • Hound (Go-Bot, 1995)
  • Accessories: Rifle
  • Known designers: Masakatsu Saito (concept artist){{#if: |, {{{2}}}}}
Part of the canceled fourth wave of Generation 2 Go-Bots, Hound's alternate mode would have been a green military SUV with tampographed "U.S. Army" and "19HOUND960" markings. In robot mode, he would have featured magenta parts. Sadly, he was one of the two unreleased G2 Go-Bot sculpts (alongside a purple Mercedes-Benz character) whose molds were apparently lost; therefore the Hound sculpt was not even included with a later release of the other four unreleased molds as part of the 2001 Robots in Disguise line.
While unpainted prototypes of the sculpt had found their way into collectors' hands and the name "Hound" had even been rumored in association with the toy, it wasn't until 2014 that a fully painted sample surfaced, confirming the name for the first time. Shortly afterwards, the (repeatedly delayed) book Legacy: The Art of Transformers Packaging was released, which featured the package art that would have been used for Hound had he been released, alongside those of Rumble, "4X", and "911". (Art for the black Dodge Viper surfaced too late to be included while art for the purple Mercedes-Benz has never been uncovered.)

Alternators

[edit]

Wrangling our hearts.
  • Jeep Wrangler Autobot Hound (Alternator, 2004)
For the Alternators line, Hound's vehicle mode was updated to a (licensed) 1:24 scale [[wikipedia:{{#if:|:}}Jeep Wrangler|{{#if:||Jeep Wrangler}}]], with opening doors, hood (with mock engine bay) and tailgate, and a detailed interior. Hound also features rubber tires and a working, spring-loaded suspension system, similar to 20th Anniversary Optimus Prime, but lacks steering. In robot mode, he greatly resembles both the original toy in detail and the Generation 1 cartoon model in proportions and personality. In this form, Hound is armed with a holographic projector gun stored inside his spare tire.
The Japanese Binaltech version of the toy, released in the third wave of the line, is largely identical to the Hasbro version, except for the use of painted die-cast metal for numerous vehicle mode panels.
This sculpt was retooled into Alternators/Binaltech Swindle, who was then redecoed into Alternators Rollbar.

The Transformers Collection

[edit]
  • Hound (Cybertron, 2004)
In 2004, the original Hound toy was reissued by Takara as part of their their Transformers Collection "bookbox" reissue series. Apparently, Takara had to repair (or even recast) the mold; the reissue features several sculpting differences compared to a vintage specimen: The top end of the Jeep grille bars is now straight instead of rounded off, the headlights have sculpted detail added, the windshield hinges are more rounded off, and the formerly sharp facial details look very washed out.<ref name="reissuecomp">Seibertron gallery of the Transformers Collection Hound reissue, including comparisons with a vintage G1 Hound.</ref>

Universe (2008)

[edit]

  • Autobot Hound (Legends, 2008)
  • Series: Classic Series
  • Known designers: Bill Rawley (Hasbro){{#if: |, {{{2}}}}}
Part of the second wave of Universe Legends Class figures (but the first wave to feature new-mold items, not simply Cybertron-series redecoes), the first Universe Hound toy is sculpted to closely resemble his Generation 1 design, particularly in the way his vehicle mode resembles a somewhat outdated, old-fashioned army Jeep. For legal reasons, the vehicle mode has been slightly tweaked, such as sporting squared headlights and horizontal vents in the front grille, as compared to the characteristic round headlights/vertical grille vents design of a real-life Jeep. Due to his small size and price point, he has no weapon in either mode.
This mold was also used to make 2010 Hunt for the Decepticons Tracker Hound. It is also the basis for the non-toy character Mito Prime.


Cats and dogs. Geddit? Do you get it?
  • Autobot Hound (Deluxe Class, 2008)
Part of the fourth wave of Universe Deluxe Class toys, this version of Hound is more of an evolution of the character rather than the reproduction the Legends class toy represents. His vehicle mode resembles a [[wikipedia:{{#if:|:}}Jeep Hurricane|{{#if:||Jeep Hurricane}}]] concept car, once again with a modified front section that avoids the trademark Jeep look with round headlights and vertical grille vents. Hound features his familiar (non-firing) rocket launcher, which clips to the back of his seats in vehicle mode, and can be either hand-held or shoulder-mounted in robot mode (Although the latter is by no means a secure fit, and will fall off with the slightest touch.) In the area of "undocumented features", the soles of Hound's feet can pivot inwards, providing more stability for wide-stanced poses.
Hound's vehicle-mode back-end has a pair of flip-up tabs, which are used to secure the Ravage figure included with Hound, when Ravage is put into his "capture mode" (aka "oversized audio cassette" form). Other Mini-Cassette Transformers can fit there too, though not as well as the new Ravage.
Hasbro's initial "hand-painted digitally touched-up prototype" stock photos featured a slightly different color layout for Hound, with a black bullbar (painted silver on the final toy) and entirely reversed arm colors: the original stock photos feature green shoulders, black forearms with three yellow stripes and green fists, whereas the final toy has the entire arm cast out of black plastic and the forearms painted over in green, with only one thick yellow stripe per arm.
This mold was also used to make Timelines Turbomaster and served as the basis of the non-toy Shattered Glass incarnation of Hound.


Henkei! Henkei!

[edit]
A friend to all the animals.
  • Hound (Deluxe, 2008)
Released in the eighth wave of Takara's Henkei! Henkei! toyline, this redeco of Universe Deluxe Class Hound is primarily cast in a darker shade of green plastic for a better match to his original toy and appearances in fiction. Where Universe Hound had white plastic, Henkei Hound replaces it with grey, and overall has more elaborate paint applications, such as the toy-homaging yellow stripe around the edges of his hood and silver paint on his hubcaps. As with all Henkei! Henkei! toys, Hound has vacuum-metallized plastic, specifically his grill guard, albeit in an unusually dark color to make it resemble dark polished metal.
And yes, he comes with Ravage again.


Chronicle

[edit]
  • Hound (EZ Collection, 2011)
Released in the second assortment of Takara's Chronicle "EZ Collection" releases, this iteration of Hound is a very slight redeco of the Universe Legends Class Autobot Hound toy, with the front windshield's black paint replaced with the same gunmetal paint used for the legs.
Like other Chronicle Legends toys, he is sold in a blindpacked box.


EZ Collection (2013)

[edit]

  • Hound (EZ Collection, 2013)
  • ID number: EG05
Hound was released again in the 2013 EZ Collection series. The paint is the same as the Chronicle release, but the plastic is now a lighter "apple green" color.


Bot Shots

[edit]
  • Autobot Hound (Single-pack, 2013)
  • Series: 2
  • Number: B012
    • Fist strength: 730
    • Blaster strength: 609
    • Sword strength: 277
Part of the third wave of Bot Shots Series 2 single-packs, Blitz Shot "Autobot Hound" is a redeco of Series 1 Ironhide, transforming into a teeny pickup truck (with spoiler) with an automatic, spring-loaded transformation to robot mode triggered when his front bumper is pressed. He has a "spinner" in his chest that shows his three attack types and power levels.
This mold was also used to make Super Bot Dirt Boss and Swindle.


Kre-O

[edit]
Where did you come from, where did you go?
  • ??? (???, 2011)
  • Accessories: Large rifle
A Kreon version of Hound was shown at numerous conventions in 2011 as part of a large Kre-O display; early appearances had him with shoddy stickers instead of tampographs (but he was far from the only one), but later appearances used production samples. Samples of release-ready Hounds in sealed bags (as he would have appeared in sets) have since surfaced.
However, it is still unknown just how Hound was originally planned to be released. It seems most likely he was going to be packed in with another character's large-build set, but who that was is unknown.

  • Autobot Hound (Custom Kreon, 2014)
  • Set number: A7317
  • Pieces: 42
  • Accessories: Rack, buildable gatling gun, bazooka, jetpack, door-wing backpack
Part of the second assortment of "Custom Kreons", Hound comes with a buildable parts rack on which to hang/store his many many extra pieces. The plastics of his torso, arms and legs have a metal-flake sheen, and his similarly-shiny tampographs are based on the original Hound toy. His "normal" helmet and bazooka are chromed, plus he comes with an extra clear-plastic helmet, torso and legs. He also has a pair of extra arms (originally from the Kre-O Battleship aliens), plus a buildable gatling gun, a buildable jetpack, and the door-wing backpack.
Though widely solicited, this wave of Custom Kreons ultimately never saw release outside of the Hasbro Toy Shop online store and Chinese-market distribution circles.


  • Kreon Class of 1984 (Kreon figure set, 2014)
  • Set number: B0090
  • Voted: "Friendliest"
  • Accessories: Heavy machine gun
This version of Hound, part of the Kreon Class of 1984, is based once again on the original Hound toy, with much more detailing based heavily on the original toy. He uses the Hound-style helmet as expected. He also has a new hip-piece with considerably larger balljoints for extra stability.
He was only available in a pack of 30 Kreons dubbed "Class of 1984". This set was made for sale at San Diego Comic-Con 2014. Remaining stock would have been sold at the Hasbro Toy Shop website, but the set sold out at the show.


  • Autobot Hound (Battle Changer, 2015)
  • Set number: B2691
  • Pieces: 87
  • Accessories: Long rifle, rocket launcher
  • Known designers: Evan Brooks (Hasbro){{#if: |, {{{2}}}}}<ref>Interview with Hasbro designer Evan Brooks on the Triple Takeover podcast, from their YouTube channel</ref>
Part of the second wave of Battle Changers, Hound has a Kreon core, but the limbs and body are all built up using bricks, resulting in a toy that can change from robot to jeep-like vehicle without disassembly/reassembly.
All of the 2015 Transformers Kre-O product was skipped by retailers in the US (at first), seeing release in Canada, Australia and various Asian markets. In late 2015, much of the line was finally released at discount in the US through TJ Maxx and Marshalls stores, including this set.


Construct-Bots

[edit]
  • Hound (Elite Class, 2013)
Released in the second wave of Elite-Class Construct-Bots toys, Hound is a buildable robot skeleton that can be augmented with armor, weapons and vehicle parts, with the nominal parts allowing him to transform into a jeep-like Cybertronian vehicle. He includes a small hand-held blaster as well as a shoulder mounted piece that evokes the hologram projector. As his parts are cross-compatible with all other toys in the line, they can be mixed-and-matched to make some interesting creations.
Most of his parts were also used to make Breakdown.


Q-Transformers

[edit]
Perfect for going camping in.
  • ID number: QT-15
  • Release date: March 21, 2015
Released in the fourth wave of Takara's Q-Transformers toyline (under the initial "QT Series"), Hound transforms from a super deformed Suzuki Hustler to a cute little robot. He comes with a code for unlocking Hound as a playable character in the Q-Transformers: Mystery of Convoy Returns game.
This mold was retooled into Q-Transformers Skids.


Timelines

[edit]
  • Generaton 2 Souvenir 2-Pack (Souvenir Set, 2015)
Timelines "Sgt. Hound" is a redeco and retooling of Generations Scoop, based on the cancelled Generation 2 Sgt. Hound toy, transforming into a payloader. He comes with Dia and Cline, who transform into guns that can be held by Hound or plugged into peg-holes in his arms and legs.
His left leg has "W.A.L.T." tampographed on it, a reference to Transformers fan and Hound collector Walter Mueller.<ref>{{#if: ALL of the BotCon Sergeant Hounds had my name on them!

He was only available as part of a BotCon 2015 at-show souvenir set, packaged with General Optimus Prime.
This mold was also redecoed, sans one Targetmaster, into Adventure Roadblock.


Generations

[edit]

  • Specialist: Autobots (Multi-pack, 2014)
  • Release date: March 25, 2014
  • Accessories: Missile launcher, Ravage figure
Universe Deluxe Hound was re-released in a three-pack with Classics Mirage and Universe Ironhide, available from Hasbro Asia and TakaraTomy Mall. All three Autobots feature new metallic paint decos, and the set's package art links up to the contemporaneously-released "Specialist: Decepticons" set to form a complete image.
At select stores in Asia, the set was available with a free Autobot insignia earphone cap plug.


Combiner Wars

[edit]
Giving combiners the power of Afterimages.
  • Autobot Hound (Deluxe Class, 2016)
  • 2 OF 5: Sky Reign
  • Accessories: Gun, double-barreled gun/fist/foot
Part of the sixth wave of Combiner Wars Deluxe Class toys, "Autobot Hound" is a retool of Combiner Wars Swindle (himself an extensive retooling of Rook), transforming into a militarized jeep of indeterminable, likely-made-up model. In addition to a new head, his toy benefits from a running change from Swindle that adds two small nubs onto the rear of his smaller weapon, which allows it to be attached to his backpack as an over-shoulder blaster.
As a Combiner Wars Deluxe figure, Hound can combine with any compatible Voyager-class mold as either an arm or a leg, but his nominal placement is as Sky Reign's left arm. He can also combine with Legends Godbomber as a leg. He has a 5mm post accessible in his leg mode that allows a Combiner Wars Scrounge or a Titans Return Cosmos to attach as a shin guard/leg shield.
Unfortunately, due to the internal molding of his shins, repeatedly transforming Hound will eventually create horizontal scratch marks across the hip parts of his thighs.
Hound comes with a copy of The Transformers #41 (Combiner Wars Part 4), "You, Me, and the Universe". In Canada, Latin America, and Europe, he was available in different types of multilingual packaging including a character card featuring his comic book cover/package art instead. He and the last three waves of Combiner Wars Deluxe and Voyager figures later showed up at TJ Maxx at reduced prices with the collector card.

  • ID number: UW-EX
  • Release date: October 29, 2016
  • Accessories: Gun, axe, double-barreled gun/fist/foot
Unite Warriors Hound is a redeco of his Combiner Wars toy with new and different paint details based on his cartoon appearance, including various yellow stripes, a star on his shoulder, and the replacement of the star on his hood with an Autobot insignia. Aside from the mold's established accessories, Hound includes an axe from the Offroad mold.
He was only available in a Lynxmaster multi-pack, the fourth of six TakaraTomy Mall exclusive sets. The set also includes Ratchet, Sky Lynx, Trailbreaker, and Wheeljack.

Alt-Modes

[edit]
  • Autobot Hound (Alt-Modes, 2017)
  • Series: 2
  • Collection: 1
Alt-Modes Hound is a super deformed toy whose body transforms into a jeep when the Autobot faction symbol on his head is flipped.
He was blind-boxed and available in the first and only case of the second series.


War for Cybertron: Siege

[edit]
Not my thing… Oh well I'm sure we'll get an earth version sometime soon!
  • Autobot Hound (Deluxe Class, 2019)
Part of the first wave of Siege Deluxe Class figures, Hound transforms from robot to Cybertronian jeep and back. He includes the "W-5 Holo-Beam Refraction Blaster" and "RT-10 IR Electro-Scope Launcher," which are compatible with the C.O.M.B.A.T. System, and can combine to form the "HD Vector-Beam Mega-Blaster," or can be mounted onto his shoulder. The Refraction Blaster comes with a detachable ammo clip, which can be stored in the bed of the jeep. Hound's colors are more subdued than his other figures, and he also features "battle damage" paint applications on his bullbar and shins, as well as multiple hardpoints all over himself and his weapons to accommodate "Fire Blasts" from the Battle Masters assortment, which can be used to simulate blaster fire or explosions.
His vehicle mode has a sculpted winch, in the center of which is a hole. If some thread is fed through, this makes his winch somewhat functional.
This mold was redecoed into War for Cybertron Trilogy Hound (below), and retooled into Generations Selects Hot Shot, and then further retooled seperately into Legacy Evolution Data Clerk Orion Pax and his Jeep mode as both Detritus & Buzzworthy Bumblebee Autobot Hound. In an artistic error, Hound was depicted with Hot Shot's head on his package art, long before the latter retool was officially revealed. Additionally, Hound's earliest computer-generated stock images depicted him with an opaque green windshield, rather than the translucent windshield of the final product.

Masterpiece

[edit]
Unfortunately, does not come with Halonix Maximus accessory.
  • ID number: MP-47
  • Release date: December 26, 2019
  • Accessories: 2 side mirrors, Hologram gun, machine gun, spare tire, gas can, key, roof cover/shield, Spike Witwicky figure, hologram effect, hologram pilot. smiling face, screaming face
  • Known designers: Yuki Ohshima (concept artist){{#if: |, {{{2}}}}}
Masterpiece Hound transforms from a licensed Jeep CJ-3B to a show-accurate robot, down to the shrunken back wheels on the sides of his feet.
Accessories for this figure include two alternate faces, his hologram gun (with a hologram shooting effect part), the car-mounted machine gun, a spare tire and gas can, plus a bunch of specific episode-related accessories: a figure of Spike Witwicky to represent their relation in the original 3-parter, plus the hologram driver he briefly showcased in "More than Meets the Eye, Part 2" and the key for Ravage's cage from "More than Meets the Eye, Part 3". His final accessory deviates from the usual bunch of toy and cartoon-related accessories and it's entirely new: a roof cover that turns into a shield, apparently inspired by the one found on his live action counterpart's Movie The Best toy or perhaps by the folding roof that he deploys briefly in "Atlantis, Arise!". As an additional note, his head features a flip-out face shield, representing the one he used in the underwater scenes from "More than Meets the Eye, Part 2".
Due to the engineering, the spare tire, the gas can, and the machine gun can fold up inside his feet in robot mode without the need for partsforming, but they can still be stored inside the roof cover, along with the cage key and the alternate face accessories, with the pipe and handle parts of the hologram gun being stored under the unfoldable panels in each of his lower legs.
His jeep mode features an opening hood, and while it mainly just reveals his arms and head, there is an engine piece put in to hide his face. As an unfortunate side effect, there is a risk of the engine block piece chipping the paint on his face. He can be left faceless for the transformation, although the third face piece doesn't have room for storing it anywhere.
The lower end of the painted thighs can also easily chip, due to friction between the piece and the lower legs. Probably due to tolerance or design failure (or both), the panels that cover the rear section of the lower legs are prone to breaking. There have also been many reports of this figure's parts developing cracks with minimal or even no handling, prompting speculation about an unstable plastic mix.
Per the brand unification of TakaraTomy and Hasbro, Hound was directly released with no changes by Hasbro Pulse in the United States and Canada.


War for Cybertron Trilogy

[edit]
  • Autobot Hound (Deluxe Class, 2020)
  • TakaraTomy ID number: WFC-02
  • TakaraTomy release date: September 26, 2020
  • Accessories: "W-5 Holo-Beam Refraction Blaster," "RT-10 IR Electro-Scope Launcher," ammo clip (combine to form "HD Vector-Beam Mega-Blaster")
Promoting the Siege season of the Netflix War for Cybertron Trilogy cartoon, this redeco of Siege Hound slathers the Autobot in an extensive paint wash coating to represent accumulated grime and battle scars. This contained a portion of a cardstock background of Teletraan I. Hound's part has tabs C and K, and slot D.
Unfortunately, there have been several reports of Hound's neck stem being too stiff and snapping right off.

Transformers Retro

[edit]
Now you won't have to track down the original for the experience of seeing how this toy is way smaller than you expected.
  • Autobot Hound (Walmart exclusive reissue/redeco, 2023)
The original Hound toy was reissued by Hasbro for western markets for the very first time in 2023 in the Transformers Retro line. This release, which was given specific The Transformers: The Movie branding, gives the mold a redeco with colors based on his original cartoon character model. All of Hound's chromed details are now cast in very light silver plastic, and instead of using stickers for detailing he has tampographs and paint applications. He retains his die-cast metal and rubber tires though. While his missiles were not modified for safety reasons, his launcher's firing ability has been neutered.
Of note is the fact Hound is now a licensed Jeep product, which may explain how this version sports a new 2023 date stamp, pointing to the likelihood of a repaired or "resurrected" mold for this release. Hey, it's been nineteen years since the Transformers Collection reissue, which was also repaired compared to the 1984 original. This mold features all the changes made for that release.
Hound's design on the packaging appears to be based on the Studio Series '86 figure with modified proportions more in line with the G1 character model. Also note that its release predates Studio Series Hound and even has details from the alt-mode exclusive to that figure. An alt-mode of which, at the time of its release, had not been revealed or leaked in any capacity, making it the first time it had been seen by the general public.
Transformers Retro Hound was released as a Walmart exclusive in the United States.


Buzzworthy Bumblebee

[edit]
Buzzkilled.
  • Autobot Hound (Deluxe Class, 2022)
  • Movie: The Transformers: The Movie

Buzzworthy Bumblebee/Studio Series 86 Hound is a heavy retool of the above Siege figure, transforming into an unlicensed approximation of a Jeep. He would have come with his rocket launcher and hologram gun.

As of January 2024, it had been reported that Target opted to cancel their release of Hound due to poor sales of their previous 2022 assortment of Buzzworthy Deluxe Class figures, leaving Hasbro with no other place available to release the toy at the time.<ref>"Original Plans for Individual Releases of Hatchet and Earth Mode Hound were Cancelled" at Seibertron.</ref> This mold as Hound would eventually be released in the Generations Selects toyline, as noted below.

Generations Selects

[edit]
Divided, he fell.
  • Autobots Stand United (Multi-pack, 2024)
Generations Selects "Autobot Hound" is a slight redeco of the above unreleased Buzzworthy Bumblebee toy (an extensive retooling of the above Siege Hound toy), transforming into an unlicensed approximation of a Jeep. At least compared to the CGI stock image of the unreleased Buzzworthy toy, this Hound's deco is more cartoon-based, using pale light green plastic and paint instead of light gray, and having extra paint detailing on his arms and the lights on his front wheel hubs. His windshield piece is opaque plastic painted light blue, matching the other toys in the set. Due to the nature of the 5-Pack's packaging, it is not uncommon for the paint on Hound's chest/grill-mounted winch to be scuffed out of the box.
Hound was packaged alongside cartoon-style redecos of Studio Series Jazz, and Earthrise Sunstreaker, Trailbreaker, and Wheeljack.
The "Autobots Stand United 5-pack" was officially revealed on February 27, and went up for pre-order the same day for a July 2024 release.

Part of the Swapticons "Desert Dunes Mission" five-pack, Autobot Hound is a recolor of Ultra Magnus, transforming into a trailer unit. He is intended to be combined with the packed in Optimus Prime, though he's compatible with every other figure in the line for a multitude of weird combinations.
This set also includes Ramjet, Decepticon Sandstorm, and Scorponok.

Merchandise

[edit]

Transformers Milk Caramel

[edit]
Stick him right in your trail mix.
  • Hound (1985)
A soft rubber figurine—known in Japan as a keshigomu— of Hound was released as part of the second wave of Kabaya's Transformers Milk Caramel candy toy range. He came packaged with chocolate-covered caramel candies, and was available in red, blue, and yellow.


Decoy

[edit]
  • Cybertron Hero Collection 22 (multi-pack, 1986)
Hound was among the many characters rendered by Takara as part of their series of 1.5" keshigomu figurines. Like all the Autobots in the series, Hound was molded in soft red rubber, and featured a number sculpted into his back that was the sum total of his Tech Specs, for use in the various games that could be played with the figurines. Hound was available as part of a 22-piece box set of Autobot figures, and later, in a peach coloration randomly packed as part of various other box sets.
  • Hound (1987)
    • Decoy number: 17
The figurine was later brought over to Hasbro markets as part of the Decoy promotion, largely identical to the Japanese release except for the fact that the number on his back was replaced with a simple "checklist" number. Like all Autobot Decoys, he was a randomly-chosen pack-in available with the carded Throttlebots, Aerialbots, Protectobots, and Technobots.


Robot Heroes

[edit]
Not included: Awkwardly-positioned Spike.
  • Autobot Hound & Blitzwing (Two-pack, 2008)
Released in the first wave of Universe-branded Robot Heroes, Hound is posed, like many Robot Heroes, in a squat crouching pose. However, he has a few noteworthy aspects: he's one of the few Generation 1 characters to be sculpted with a handheld weapon. More surprising than that, Hound is the most articulated Generation 1 Robot Hero, having swivel joints at his head, shoulders and waist.
Hound was only available in a two-pack with Blitzwing.


Speed Stars

[edit]

Stealth Force

[edit]
Missile launcher converts to missile launcher and back!
  • Autobot Hound (Basic, 2010)
Speed Stars "Autobot Hound" is part of the "Stealth Force" sub-line, consisting of vehicles without robot modes, but with plenty of flip-out panels with hidden weapons. The toy is a Jeep Hurricane approximation that's nearly identical to Hound's Universe Deluxe Class toy, about 5% larger in length and height and about 10% larger in width. The similarities with Universe Hound aren't limited to the general vehicle design, but extend to almost absurdly faithfully recreated details such as the design of the rims, the tire patterns and even the prongs in the back that were used to attach Ravage on Universe Hound (sculpted in their retracted state on "Stealth Force" Hound). The biggest liberties, oddly enough, have been taken with the design of the dashboard.
Hound's "Stealth Force" gimmick is triggered either by pulling out the front bumper or any medium amount of impact, which activates an auto-transformation mechanism that extracts all four wheels sideways and reveals non-firing weapons in the vehicle's hood, fenders, doors and trunk, and an extracting (non-concealed) missile launcher above the co-driver's seat.
His package art is directly recycled from Universe Autobot Hound.


G.I. Joe and the Transformers

[edit]
And don't forget the new G.I. Joe vehicles and playsets! There's the Troop Carrier, the Troop Transport, and the Action Figure Storage Truck!
  • The Epic Conclusion! box set (2013)
    • Accessories: two gas canisters, portable gear pack, utility shovel
A Hasbro Toy Shop exclusive, first available at the Hasbro Toy Shop booth at San Diego Comic-Con 2013 and later made available via the Hasbro Toy Shop website, this is a redeco of the 2008 sculpt of the G.I. Joe VAMP as "Autobot Hound". Hound seats two figures, and features an opening hood to reveal engine detailing, as well as a tilting and rotating machine gun emplacement. A utility shovel clipped on the hood and two gas cannisters stowed in the back can be removed and held by compatible Joes.
The set also comes with a retooled Sky Striker representing Jetfire, a new Snake-Eyes figure bearing an Autobot symbol, a Baroness figure with Ravage on a leash, a Bludgeon figure, and a Blaster boombox with cassette pieces representing Steeljaw, Ramhorn, and Eject.
The box set was announced via a USA Today article on June 5, 2013, along with Hasbro's other Comic-Con exclusives.


The Loyal Subjects

[edit]
A card-carrying member of the FOC Sideswipe club.
  • Hound (2014)
The Loyal Subjects Hound is a wave 3 chase figure, with standard articulation. He does not have any special gimmicks, and appears to be based on the original toy. For every 48 figures, there is one Hound.


  • Hound "G2" Ed. (2014)

Bouncing Ball Heads

[edit]
  • Hound (2017)
"Bouncing Ball Head" Hound is a small, super deformed figurine with a removable head that doubles as a bouncy ball. An Autobot logo is tampographed on the back of his head and his name is written under his feet.
He is (apparently) available in both gacha-style machines and in an 8-pack with the whole collection, and comes inside a spherical capsule with a unique baby blue color.
Despite clearly representing Generation 1 characters, the collection is advertised as a 2015 Robots in Disguise product.


Forever Clever

[edit]

  • Wall Walkers Hound (2018)
Exclusively released in blind bags by Forever Clever, Wall Walkers Hound has suction cups on its hands and feet so it can stick to walls. All its details are printed on, and besides its colors and printing, it is identical to the other Wall Walkers toys.

Blokees

[edit]

Defender Version

[edit]
  • Hound (Brilliant) (Galaxy Version Defender, 2025)
  • Series: Defender Version 04 - Tyrant's Fury
  • Accessories: Blaster
Part of the fourth wave of Blokees' Galaxy Version Defender series of blind-boxes, "Brilliant" Hound (in his translucent "pre-deco" coloration) is a 2.2-inch (5.5cm) figure, a few inches smaller than the Galaxy Version kits, but still articulated. He only comes with his blaster.
Like most of the robot mode kits from this line, Hound features color-coded eye parts, which double as the neck's socket joint.
As with other clear-colored Brilliant/Glittering kits, the translucent plastic-molded ball-and-socket joints tend to be somewhat loose even when it's built out of the box, compared to the opaque and metallic kits.


Blokees Wheels

[edit]
  • Hound (Blokees Wheels, 2025)
  • Series: Blokees Wheels Transformers 01 - Roll Out!
  • Pull rate: 1/12
Part of the first wave of the Blokees Wheels series of blind-boxed 1/64-scale vehicles, this Hound model kit is a generic Jeep. His turret rotates, and his windshield can fold down. While everything else is molded in ABS plastic, the main vehicle shell is made out of "2.5x density" Solidex to evoke the feeling of die-cast cars like Hot Wheels. He uses the same universal Chassis Connector as the rest of the lineup, and his open top allows the chase kits' driver figures to sit inside, though they could barely sit straight.
Hound shares a mold with his wavemate Swindle.

Yolopark

[edit]
  • Hound (AMK Mini Series, 2025)
  • Accessories: 2 pairs of hands (fists/weapon-holding), Hologram gun
Sold as part of the second wave of Yolopark's AMK (Advanced Model Kit) Mini Series, this kit of Hound can only be completed by snapping the pre-painted pieces together. Aside from an extra pair of splayed open hand parts, Hound comes with his signature Hologram gun. As with the rest of the kits starting from this wave, he also features a small amount of new articulation points, particularly the double-sided ball-and-socket joint at the waist.
Hound is sold as either an individually marked single or a blind box figure. The latter lineup had a 19/120 probability of getting him.


  • Hound (Clear) (AMK Mini Series, 2025)
  • Accessories: 2 pairs of hands (fists/weapon-holding), Hologram gun
This Hound is a translucent redeco of the AMK Mini kit above, and he can only be obtained if the customers preordered the entire case for Wave 2 from their website.
