Hound (SG)

This article is about the evil Autobot. For his heroic counterpart, see Hound (G1). For a list of other meanings, see Hound (disambiguation).

Hound is an evil Autobot from the "Shattered Glass" continuity family.

Unlike the Scarecrow, Hound did not begin his scaring career by merely shooting people with guns.

Hound likes to proclaim himself as the "Master Of Fear", using his Psycho-Projector to cause people to hallucinate their worst nightmares and incapacitate them with terror.

What he's truly a master of, however, is dissent and mutiny. Throughout the various changes in the Autobot ranks, Hound has managed to escape notice by remaining quiet and feigning apathetic disinterest. In secret, however, Hound has provided assistance to a number of attempted rebellions, including an attempted coup by Ultra Magnus, and being a secret supporter of the Old One, Alpha Trion. Ever since Trion was banished, Hound has been silently waiting for his return...

Ironically, Hound has his own deep-seated fears as much as anyone—organics and their filth scare the scrap out of him.

It's a planet of greasy dirty things! Oily, squirting, water-filled waste-blobs with their filth and their mold and their plants and their rocks and bugs and things! If that doesn't scare you then you're the one that's crazy!Hound's assessment of Earth, "Do Over"

Fiction

Shattered Glass

Hound was one of the Autobots who participated in the battle for the newly-rediscovered Arch-Ayr fuel dump. During the battle, he served as Crasher's personal punching bag. Dungeons & Dinobots

Later, when Rodimus and Goldbug had everyone whom they deemed too loyal to Optimus Prime thrown off the Ark, Hound jumped out of the ship voluntarily to avoid having to go to Earth, and was presumed dead.

However, he turned out to be perfectly all right, and was being hidden from Optimus by Remote Patrol Six. Hound teased Powerglide about being scared of flying, Powerglide protested that he wasn't, and proceeded to tease Hound about being afraid of Earth. This would've turned into a fight if Sandstorm hadn't mentioned that he had discovered a strange signal from Zone Y-AT. Hound recognized the zone and thought he might know what the signal meant, and considered coming out of hiding sooner than he planned... Do Over

Not pictured: Hound and Warpath actually crying out in pain.

Later, after Megatron was assassinated by one of Alpha Trion's agents, Hound and three members of Remote Patrol Six made their move, surrounding Optimus Prime, intending to kill him and install Rodimus in his place as Prime. However, Hound's rally cries failed to impress Optimus, and the Autobot leader plowed through his would-be assassins with ease, and took care of Hound by flinging Warpath into him.

Notes

• His look appears to be based on Generation 1 Hound's Universe figure, but with different coloring.
• On that note, for Ravage's sake, let's hope that toy's not gang-molded.
