It could also be used to combine with the seven other weapons packaged with the figure to create a much larger gun. Like all of his other weapons, his knife is capable of being stored in both his vehicle and robot mode.

The TakaraTomy version, part of the second wave of Movie Advanced Series toys, features all of his weapons molded in a lighter gray plastic.

  • Accessories: 2 shotguns, 2 pistols (A), 2 pistols (B), minigun, knife

Platinum Edition Autobot Hound is a repainted version of the Voyager class figure above, featuring mostly screen-accurate details. Much like the TakaraTomy release of the figure above, all of the weapons were cast in a lighter shade of gray plastic, while his knife retained the silver paint.

Hound was released as a BBTS shared exclusive "Autobots United" set along with a G1-inspired redeco of Optimus Prime and screen-accurate redecos of Bumblebee, Drift, and Crosshairs.

  • Accessories: 2 shotguns, 2 pistols (A), 2 pistols (B), minigun, knife

Available only with the Japanese BD/DVD release of Transformers: Age of Extinction, Army Camo Hound is an even more screen accurate redeco of the Voyager Class toy. However, unlike all of the previous releases, all of his weapons were cast in black plastic and his knife was painted in a gunmetal finish.

This release was limited to only 3000 pieces.

  • Accessories: 2 shotguns, 2 pistols (A), 2 pistols (B), minigun, knife, helmet, shield/sleeper cabin

Movie the Best Hound is a redeco of the voyager class Premier Edition figure, release in The Last Knight toyline.

Notes

• While all of Hound's weapons originally went unnamed in the films and toy releases, the name comes from the concept artwork and weapons references for Age of Extinction.
• The K-Bar knife released with Hound toys is molded as it looked stored inside its sheath meaning that putting it in his hand would make it as if he was pointing a blunt object at someone.
• Obviously, the name is a reference to a [[wikipedia:{{#if:|:}}Ka-Bar|{{#if:||Ka-Bar}}]] which is a combat knife commonly carried by military personnel.
