Wow. How is Hound suddenly so damn exciting? I didn’t get a G1 hound for 20 years after it was released, now I’m looking at adding this one to the collection along with Universe Hound, Alternators Hound and soon, MP Hound. It’s a great time to be a fan!
D Gray I hope we get all three Lamborghinis though even though CW sunstreaker(cause I’m a loser who didn’t start collecting until the tail end of titans return ;_;)
I got a Roadbuster vibe from him more than anything else. Perhaps not in a wide retail release, I can see it being done with minimal retooling for an exclusive giftset.
0:55 Do I detect a RVB reference? This line looks great, so far. This figure and Sideswipe especially. I haven't been big on collecting, as of late, but the Siege series is just too good to pass on. I'll have to pick them up when they come out. Can't wait to mess with the deluxe weponizers...
Unlike some of the figures seen so far in this line, the battle damage/weathering makes perfect sense. It's an off-road military vehicle that would be, due to Hound's typical nature explorer/defender personality, being driving through a lot of brush, rock and other rough terrain. Or walking and fighting in it. So it makes sense that it would be mainly the front bumpers and what would be undercarriage that also makes up his legs, that would show all the wear and tear. This is how you do weathering effects right. Also such lovely homages to the original. The mortar/shoulder launcher IS his G1 weapon, just with a barrel instead of a spring-loaded (and nerfed) missile, the extra magazine for the rifle stows on the back the same as G1's jerry can, and just the general sculpt and details of his chest and head. A definite pick up from this line.
So far this line has to be one of your favourite lines ever, l don’t l have ever watched any of your reviews for a line with this much praise! Great stuff.
This was probably the one figure I was excited for the most in this line because of design and concept. A Cybertroian army vehicle, sign me up ! Now I can't wait for iron hide to come out
Whoa, I see a sleeping woman in the battle damage paint on Hound's torso and I can't can't unsee it. Anyways, this figure looks awesome! I'm digging the Siege line a lot. Can't wait to find these in stores!
Thankyou Baltmatrix for uploading this, Hound was the Siege deluxe I was looking forward to seeing the most, will definitely be picking him up now that I've seen your review
I just saw a Toyhax add-on roof that comes off in robot mode and becomes a shield for his arm. I've never gotten a Toyhax add-on but the pics looked good with this figure.
i just got this figure and found alternate ways to store the weapons. you can take the long rifle and put it in the hand underneath and rotate it with the barrel pointing towards the front of the vehicle. take the blaster and put it in the hole under the trunk section (it also makes it a thruster on the back of the vehicle.
Funny thing is, I was not into most of these until I saw Hound. He was the one that peaqued my interest in this series. Hahah. I'm probably going to just order these as the waves come out, so I am definitely not going to miss him. I'm also glad they went light on the weathering with this toy.
Ugh. I was prepared to sit out most of this line...that may need to change. My wallet is not happy right now. Tho i do kinda wonder where in the world you're managing to get these figures. Didn't think they were due out til next year.
Dude I was just getting Cog and Flywheels but after seeing this Hound review and the Sideswipe review, it looks like I may be getting the whole wave LoL. Yeah I think they are starting to trickle out in the U.S. a little bit. I remember finding PotP Voyagers, Deluxes, Legends and Primemasters at Toys R Us in late December. I'm on the East Coast and we always get everything last. I am hoping to see them around here by late December/early Jan.
I'm in the midwest and desperately hoping they'll show up soon AND not be noticed by scalpers. I saw a guy walking out of the toy section a few months back with 6 Grimlocks and had to stop myself from yelling at him.
Even Balt is predicting that this figure might be remolded into a M12 Force Application vehicle (Warthog)... While I'd love that to happen, it's more likely that Super Link Roadbuster and Cyberton Defense Team Hot Shot would be used from this mold...
From the first pictures on I saw SIEGE Hound he was my favorite toy of this line so far. I love his vehicle mode. I love his robot mode. His weapons are cool. And will go very well with the Battle Patrol Team and Pteraxadon. AND I don't have a Hound yet (except of AoE Hound but he's actually Bulkhead). I've been looking for a good and not overprized CHUG Hound for a couple of years now but this one is waaay better.
Chewpa-thingy "its red vs red and blue vs blue" or the more fitting song from the soundtrack being "gunmetal green, pretiest that I've seen, I have nothing to hide, you have nothing to hide"
Man, this line is shaping up to be sort of amazing... I can't wait/I'm a bit scared to start seeing toys of characters I'm actually interested in. This could get exciting/expensive.
The bicep popping off means the mushroom peg is a little too big in diameter. You can probably fix this by sanding down the mushroom peg ever so slightly.
Man what lit this fire under the Transformers design team? The cancellation of the live action movie-verse? The diminishing returns from the last toylines? Maybe the acquisition of the Power Rangers license made them fear TF would no longer end needed? Whatever it was, I’m just genuinely excited about Transformers again.
This is probably my favorite of the deluxes and unlike Sideswipe I'd consider replacing my Universe 2.0 Hound with this guy. That guy was already smaller than the other figures so he's only a tiny bit taller than this figure, and even though I think from an engineering standpoint the 2008 Hound is a bit better, the headsculpt and the color of this one I like way more.
This line is a fricken home run, no doubt about it. Amazing paint apps, great articulation, G1 homages galore, good scaling, tight joints, etc. Makes me forget all about the overpriced garbage of Cyberverse.
So yeah now Hound is 2nd fav of the wave... (Sorry, Cog moved from 4th to 1st, Skytread 2nd to 3rd, Hound 1st to 2nd. I didn't even want Sideswipe and Cog) I would love to have this mold as an idw prowl.
Just realizing this now for some reason, but because you said the alt mode looked like something from HALO I realized that hound kind of looks like Master Chief
I'm just guessing from seeing that Titan Master that this deluxe is a bit on the small side. If so that could be annoying from a value perspective. However I've always felt that cars should be smaller than planes, so maybe I'm okay with this.
The legs transform like TR Kup, which is still clever. I'd be sold on this figure but the alt mode is too chunky and greebly. If it looked more like a real army jeep I'd be impressed.
Please tell me Cog is the next review. I really want to know how Hasbro gets a fully functional Deluxe class figure that can also break down into weapons, without partsforming.
This toy line is going to break my bank account.
Mechanized I agree! 😀
Yes 😁
"a necessary sacrifice to save this planet"
Mechanized broke ass
Same
You can move the plate behind hound’s head back to give hound a little bit more posability to the head
Wow.

I wouldn’t be surprised if they made a solo Swindle repaint of this
They already did that vice versa in CW
@@Yesitsmyrealname and also in Altenators but hound was first in that case
D Gray I hope we get all three Lamborghinis though even though CW sunstreaker(cause I’m a loser who didn’t start collecting until the tail end of titans return ;_;)

D Gray where do you buy?

With an Alt mode like that, I’m surprised Hound isn’t mistaken for Roadbuster.
I was just going to type that. I wouldn't be surprised if they did this, it would work so good
HoundBuster!
Well... I think RoadHound is better 😁
I think this would also make a great ironfist/fisitron
Exactly what I was thinking.
I'm not one to get too excited about most figures... but the Siege line is KILLING IT! :O

Chewpa-thingy. This is why you're my favorite Balt.
fellow red versus blue fan
"You see those hooks on the front. Those look like tusks. What kind of animal has tusks?"
"A Walrus."
"Didn't I tell you to stop making up animals?"
I don't know, it kinda looks more like a puma
Did he mean warthog?
I remember RvB.
Hound a warthog!!!! Simmons get the warthog
Simmons: do you mean puma
The leg transformation reminds me of titans return kup. It suprised me quite a bit because ironhide looks a little similar to that kup as well
0:44 "See I told you, they can only ride si.....SEE I TOLD YOU they can only ride side saddle"
-Baltmatrix 2018
If you move the head cover back then the head is easy to turn also when transforming out of vehicle mode adjust the tors 1st then the legs
I smell a Detritus repaint and/or custom being made out of this.
Con: yeah I think it was a a cat like car
Other con: like a puma?
Con: yeah there we go
"What in sam hell is a puma?"

his Jeep mode like a updated Hammer from DIC's GI Joe
Might be my favorite Hound toy ever I think this might be
Thankyou Baltmatrix for uploading this, Hound was the Siege deluxe I was looking forward to seeing the most, will definitely be picking him up now that I've seen your review
Points to attach weapons...
2+2+2+2+2+1=8?
I think you meant 11.
he did mean 11
It’s balt he doesn't edit his videos properly ever...
You are a gift that keeps on giving, Balt!
I'm liking all of these. But I've already got the greatest deluxe Hound... decisions!!
Wait a minute... Did you Quote Sarge from Red Vs Blu? Because I swear that Sarge also says Chewpa-Thingy in Red Vs Blu
Shout out to RvB.
@@KFDanks Yeet
Yup he did
Yes he does
I just saw a Toyhax add-on roof that comes off in robot mode and becomes a shield for his arm.
I've never gotten a Toyhax add-on but the pics looked good with this figure.
Hounds green gun looks like snake man’s buster
Lol,your correct

Greg F Apparently most if not all reviewers are getting them from scalpers on ebay. How the scalpwrs are getting them, I have no idea.
@@SeamusMcLame I suspect most of the scalpers are from Japan and China and have early access to the most recently created Hasbro Transformers toys.
The Siege figures have started showing up at Target stores early this week, apparently, in addition to weird ebay listings.

You making videos on this toyline makes me love you and your channel even more
U didn't unpeg behind his head. The head can move. Good review

Nice review I'm really enjoying what I'm seeing in the Transformers line keep up the good work baltmatrix
Hound review and a RvB reference? This is why I love Balt.
This line is getting better and better.i like how the weapons don’t look stupid
Balt doesn't need to convince me to get Hound, He's pre-ordered already! Thanks Balt for the review!
One of the best head sculpt I've seen in awile love it
Chewpa-thingy
"its red vs red and blue vs blue" or the more fitting song from the soundtrack being "gunmetal green, pretiest that I've seen, I have nothing to hide, you have nothing to hide"
i'm really enjoying your reviews lately spada
Dammit the Siege line is gonna destroy my bank balance. Love that leg transformation, it really reminds me of TR Kup.
The cockpit is open because it's a reference to Hound's common Earth form, a jeep.
I was going to skip hound then seen the the teasers and now this hes definitely on the list, I cant wait to see how Ironhide turns out.
I think it's the best Hound ever.
Hound is awesome, can't wait to get that one, thanks for the info Balt
All the siege figures look really good so far, but this is a must have
Thank you for knowing what a skidplate and a magazine is.
Man, this line is shaping up to be sort of amazing... I can't wait/I'm a bit scared to start seeing toys of characters I'm actually interested in. This could get exciting/expensive.
Best deluxe Hound in more than a decade. Definitely getting it.
This siege line is everything classics was supposed to be. Where that line failed this one hits it out of the park!
He looks great! I think I prefer him to Generations Hound. I never liked the heels on that one, but this looks fantastic.
Seems good and solid. Hopefully the MP Hound turns out just as good
Hey Balt, you know that you can fold back the hood piece-thingy behind Hounds head.To allow more articulation for the head!!:)
You know he's crankin' these out when the subtitles say "soooo *man* guns"....still love them though
I NEED THE WEBSITE FOR THE SIEGE LINE, NOW!
This video made me move Hound twelve places up my list of Siege wants.
That Season 1 RvB ref. Thank you
im inlove with this line finally a good line
Balt in your next review can you talk about which one you would recommend we get if we could only get one
They nail the transformations again and again, cant wait for omega supreme
The bulk of his vehicle mode feels a bit like Bulkhead. Strange.
Finally! The peg holes on the feet are acknowledged!
My boy Hound!
Not really planning on Sideswipe or Cog, to be honest. Hound's proportions really attract me a lot more.
Gayformers
Fantastic figure good job Spada!!
The bicep popping off means the mushroom peg is a little too big in diameter.
You can probably fix this by sanding down the mushroom peg ever so slightly.
Man what lit this fire under the Transformers design team?
The cancellation of the live action movie-verse?
The diminishing returns from the last toylines?
Maybe the acquisition of the Power Rangers license made them fear TF would no longer end needed?
Whatever it was, I’m just genuinely excited about Transformers again.
The vehicle mode reminds me a bit of the Hummer HX SUV concept.
excited to finally get the chance to own a hound figure (that isn't green swindle)!!!
Red vs blue quote this is why your one of my favourite reviewers
I found one of these figures at my local comic shop for a good price and I absolutely love it. :D
So many weapon ports, I'm getting movieverse hound vibes here.
Eh, hell I can live with this.
extra info: There is a 3D model for a missile to go in the launcher. You can 3D print a missile for Hound, Sideswipe etc.
search Thingiverse.com
I had no Hound figure before. I f’ng love it!
"... in serious need of doors"
Aaaand ground clearance :)
A nice solid figure. I haven’t seen any from this line that I don’t want
Lol im loving these daily uploads
Could see a light retool of this to make a good roadbuster
I don't believe this but this is good figure to collect it. Good job bro for reviewing it. Don't worry I will get this guy too.
This is probably my favorite of the deluxes and unlike Sideswipe I'd consider replacing my Universe 2.0 Hound with this guy. That guy was already smaller than the other figures so he's only a tiny bit taller than this figure, and even though I think from an engineering standpoint the 2008 Hound is a bit better, the headsculpt and the color of this one I like way more.

Just realizing this now for some reason, but because you said the alt mode looked like something from HALO I realized that hound kind of looks like Master Chief
For more right to left rotation, you have to fold down the flap behind the head.:)
BALT YOU ARE ON FIRE
Chewpa-thingy?

...
🎵hop in my carrr. I don’t have any dooooooooors.
It’s built like a cat. It lands on all fooouuuurs.
Is it as big as, bigger or smaller than the classic hound?
I'm just guessing from seeing that Titan Master that this deluxe is a bit on the small side. If so that could be annoying from a value perspective. However I've always felt that cars should be smaller than planes, so maybe I'm okay with this.
Hound's vehicle mode looks sort like the Warhog from Halo.
Nah, it looks more like a big cat of some kind.
Walrus?
@@MrEnKaye Chupa-thingy? I dunno, kinda like a Puma to me.
Looks good but I'm more interested in the potential Detritus repaint.
Red vs Blue reference! WOOOT
I could see this working as a Roadbuster repaint. Just change the head and add more guns.
When do these come out to stores... I live in aus.
The legs transform like TR Kup, which is still clever. I'd be sold on this figure but the alt mode is too chunky and greebly. If it looked more like a real army jeep I'd be impressed.
It's no "battle damage," it's just simple weathering. It looks natural; well-worn.
that's is so crazy how is this even happening... but overall love it great job.
Mine is misassembled. The 3 pieces where it plugs the hands in are identical and not mirrored
Please tell me Cog is the next review. I really want to know how Hasbro gets a fully functional Deluxe class figure that can also break down into weapons, without partsforming.
What In Sam hell is a Puma?
Nice RvB reference
