I've always seen Hound as the Autobot "Hippy."20:37, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

Naw, that's Beachcomber. --KilMichaelMcC 20:40, 12 April 2007 (UTC)


Can we get a scan of Hound in Spotlight Galvatron? The character model picture we're currently using is abit awkward when used in context of fiction. --FFN 06:07, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

Discussion moved from Hound (TF 2010)

As I argued before, his name, "Tracker Hound" is obviously "Hound" with a random adjective added, as Hasbro commonly does. This page was created as "Hound" and not "Tracker Hound" so I don't think there is a question about that. If this is really a new character, it is probably the first time in history that Hasbro added a random adjective to a brand new character's name. More likely he is an established character who had a random adjective added for a new recolored toy, as that is what Hasbro does. Since there is only one real choice as to who the established character is, I think this toy is Hound (G1). - Starfield 10:40, 27 June 2010 (EDT)

Since Hasbro doesn't have the trademark for plain "Hound", it's possible they didn't want to redeco a two-year-old toy for a different line with the same "Autobot Hound" name, hence his strange "Tracker Hound" name. But at the same time, that's normally done with pre-established characters. So for now, his franchise of origin is ambiguous. Reminds me of Sea Spray. --NCZ 10:45, 27 June 2010 (EDT)
Yeah, I am in favour of this being G1 Hound, since at the time of this page's creation, Hasbro hadn't put any G1 characters in this line yet. --FFN 14:55, 1 August 2010 (EDT)

Reissue Henkei Hound

I ordered the reissue of Henkei Hound and he came with Red Alert's pack-in manga, instead of the one with Hound and Cheetor. I've also noticed some quality control issues on the mold (the wrists had extra plastic that didn't allow them to be fully rotated out, a few of the paint apps aren't as crisp as other Henkei toys I've purchased.) Has anyone else had this happen, and if so, should it be mentioned in the Henkei toy section?----Kookaburra 02:24, 5 August 2010 (EDT)
