Hound carries a hologram gun... at least some of the time.
Fiction
Marvel The Transformers comics
Hound's shoulder-mounted hologram gun can project 3-dimensional grid laser light images of terrain maps as well as casting simple illusions. Hound's Universe profile
The Transformers cartoon
During a battle at Professor Greene's laboratory, Hound tricked the Decepticons into retreating by following a hologram of Megatron projected from his gun. Desertion of the Dinobots, Part 1
Toys
The Transformers
- Hound (Autobot, 1984/1985)
- Accessories: "Hologram gun", poseable machine gun, missile launcher, 3 missiles, spare tire, gas can
- In robot mode, Hound is armed with a large, silver hologram gun and a shoulder-mounted, spring-loaded, firing rocket launcher with three silver projectiles.
- In 2004 the hologram gun was reissued with Transformers Collection Hound and redecoed to make the e-HOBBY exclusive Detritus's rifle.
Notes
- This was the only time in the cartoon that Hound used his gun to project a hologram: in "More than Meets the Eye" parts 2 and 3 they just sort of appear; in "Heavy Metal War", he projects the giant Autobot warrior from his fists; and in "The Immobilizer", he projects a hologram of Laserbeak from his chest.
- Although Hound's toy's instructions clearly denote his handheld rifle as a hologram gun, his Marvel Universe profile would ignore the rifle altogether, stating that his jeep mode's "turret gun" (as the "poseable machine gun" was described in the toy's bio) became his handheld weapon in robot mode and that his shoulder-mounted missile launcher was the hologram gun instead. To make matters worse, this would be contradicted by Hound's appearances in the Marvel comic itself, as in the very first issue, Hound projects a holographic missile from his handheld weapon, which he calls his turret gun, and in issue #12 he projects a map from the turret gun in jeep mode.
