• 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 Chinese-market distribution circles.

• Kreon Class of 1984 (Kreon figure set, 2014)

This version of Hound, voted "Friendliest" by the Kreon Class of 1984, is based once again on the original Hound, with detailing based heavily on the original toy. He uses the Hound-style helmet as expected.

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.

Age of Extinction

Now, I thought you all had some good ideas, but somebody oughta make it clear to the people in this room that someone is in charge.

• Lockdown Air Raid (2014)
  • Set number: A6956
  • Pieces: 203
  • Kreons: Hound, Lockdown, Sideswipe.
  • Accessories: Rifle

Based on the Age of Extinction version of Hound, the "Lockdown Air Raid" Hound Kreon has a ferrous-metal backpack that lets him be snatched up by the magnetic claw on Lockdown's ship (or glomped by the magnet-mouthed Dinobots, but you wouldn't do that, right?).

• Autobot Hound (Custom Kreon, 2014)
  • Set number: A7317
  • Pieces: 30
  • Accessories: Rack, pistol, heavy cannon, rifle, missile backpack

Part of the second wave of Age of Extinction Custom Kreons, Hound has mostly the same tampographs as the "Lockdown Air Raid" version, but adds headlamps to his shoulders. His torso, arms, waist and legs have a metal-flake sheen to them... and he's wearing the Starscream-style helmet rather than the Hound-style one for some reason.

His "normal" helmet and revolver-style pistol 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 buildbale sniper pistol, a heavy cannon, an assault rifle, and the missile backpack.

• Silver Knight Autobots (2014)
  • Set number: A8602
  • Kreons: Drift, Optimus Prime, Hound, Crosshairs, Bumblebee.
  • Accessories: Battle Axe

Again based on the character's design from Age of Extinction, this set includes the other four main Autobots from that movie. Hound comes with an axe.

Notes

• Kreon Hound was first shown loose at BotCon 2011 as a protoype with bright green plastics and a glued-on paper printout for chest deco. To date, this Hound design has never seen production, and likely never will.
