Imagine the universe where Hound stayed one of the main characters of the series instead of Bumblebee.
I imagine that a lot.
Honestly, I would prefer that
I often dream of this paradise, he was deserving of it
Never Bee trun to real car
I would be the happiest guy in that universe.
I'm hoping for a studio series 86 hound...
One of the things I love most about Transformers fandom is watching Thew go through the motions of explaining the origins of Transformers. It's to the point where when Mr. Sunday Movies and Maso started in on their explanation (with the caveat that, yes, we know you know this) for their review of the The Movie this week, I could hear Thew's "Diaclone!" "Bob Budiansky!" ringing in my ears. So glad he brought back a classic!
Ah, nice to see a fellow wackadadoo out in the wild
“RODNEEEEEY!”
You know, Thew Adams was discovered as a baby in a pumpkin patch and so his working title was actually Thew Harvest before his parents were assigned. Not many people know that.
Fun fact: that folding windshield is actually on the real jeep. Which also has a bunch of other 300 IQ features, like the headlights being able to flip around to shine into the engine area for work and repairs.
As a Transformers fan, it's easy to get jaded with how much people bum G1, but then you get your hands on one of the toys, and it makes you go "ohhh, THAT's why people like G1." I had that feeling when I found a Whirl at a flea market, and I get little hits of that when I mess with G1 reissues.
I love the goofy proportions, because they were mecha
Right I look at whirl and it don't look good and then I transformer it and it's so satisfying and fun
I think people tend to get annoyed with those who think ‘G1’ means ‘The Sunbow Cartoon’ rather than the actual original toys.
If ‘Geewunners’ were talking about the actual G1 toys I certainly wouldn’t have a problem with them. As it is we get this downgraded and inferior reissue of the original to satisfy the Sunbow adherents, rather than a rerelease of the actual toy (which I don’t think has ever been reissued).
It's like that one meme where Danny Devito goes OMG I GET IT.
I love that he’s basically a Combiner leg with arms
So _that's_ why he was in Combiner Wars!
A rack of hologram missiles*
Glad a continuity *finally* fixed the whole "why is Hound the hologram guy and not Mirage" thing after 40 years with RotB
That dispense real holographic pain!
I like to imagine Hound was hanging out with wherever Snarl was during the movie.
There could be this whole episode of Snarl deciding he was tired of the other Dinobots and decides that he was quitting and just wants to wreck shit and then Optimus orders Hound to calm him down and it could be this whole 23 minutes of wacky fun.
And they come back just in time to be horrified at the smoking aftermath of the battle in Autobot City.
I believe the reason why the price is so high is because this isn't actually a reissue of the original G1 Hound toy- which hasn't been reissued since 2004 (and the mold probably fell into a state of disrepair afterwards). Rather, it's an all-new mold done by Hasbro from the groundup that emulates the original, and the high cost of recreating the original figure is the reason for the high price. Same thing with the BW Basic Rattrap and Terrorsaur reissues from last year.
And, I believe (sorry if I'm mistaken), the G1 Optimus Prime mold that came some years ago.
I'm guessing the reason why they went for hound is because he's the G1 mould Hastak has re-released the least. He got like, a release in Encore and Commemorative Series, and that's it
It may very well be that. Something I realized when I got this not that long ago though is that it actually has the Jeep licensing on it and that's not something I remember seeing on a G1 reissue before (IDK if "Vintage" Bumblebee had it). It might suggest that at this point licensing is taken seriously enough that the old Diaclone carbots that dodged it for years are now just a bit harder to release (even though HasTak are STILL making close alt modes to a lot of them for the Gen lines). Hound being not done in a while, available, and something they probably got licensed easily all collectively factor I'm sure. The movie line itself pobably isn't that much about the movie (I'm convinced the same is true of SS86) anyway so it's more about what they can toss into the line rather than what makes sense.
Oh nice, congrats on the album, hope it came/is coming together well
Hound is such a qt, every toy of him oozes charm
It's great that they're finally painting the optics of G1 reissues like Hound and the Seekers.
Planning on picking up Hound and Thundercracker. My only misgiving, having gotten Hot Rod, is the lack of chrome.
Given that both 86 lines are giving us background characters like Hound, Snarl and Junkheap, it's a shame there wasn't any of the generic Seekers in the movie.
Great video as always.
"I am, once again, not McFeely" was way funnier to me than it probably should've been
I think a G1 bot you'd absolutely love would be Trailbreaker. A friend of mine grabbed one at a convention a few years back, and after messing with it, I loved the thing. Been meaning to track one down one of these days, but it's just such a fun lad!
He's always been the best. Deserves a lot more respect than he gets!
I find this comical. Bringing out official Hasbro G1 knock offs.
Knowing full well I would buy Sunstreaker in a minute. You notice my boy is behind Hound in the movie clip. So fingers crossed.
So that is me hooked.
£35 is a chunk of change so hardly cheap. Ah well, time to go Poundland for my usual toys.
Hound is a pretty underrated character.
Hey Thew. Great vid. I just wanted to share my experience at the opposite end of the G1 spectrum. I was 14 when Tranformers came out. I remember clearly someone brought Soundwave to school, and I thought it was cool. Unfortunately my parrents felt I was passed the age for expensive toys so Ily got a few mini bots and some Go-bots. I however did manage to convince them to buy some for our family friends son, who I baby sat for often . I was the fa vorite baby sitter because I actually played with him. A re. couple of years ago the offfered to give me all his G1 toys since he no longer cares, only to find that they had been stolen out of the attic. I managed to cobble together a G1 Jetfire. I have A rerelease of Prime, I gave away my G2 reissue prime. G1 Jazz reissue. I remember I had brawn. I mostly go for CHUG since I cant stand the Bayverse look, and gave up on the movies after 2. I'm currenty trying to figure out how to design Transformers in Tears of the Kindom, since all the tech is green, Hould would be a good option.
Salute to you, Mister Thew, if your amazing abilities hold true that Buzzworthy Hound will be mine SOON!
Y'know I wouldn't mind a show accurate Gears reissue
I'm amazed how turning Hot Rod magenta makes me dearly want to have him in my collection. XD But that G1 Unicron though, eyes emoji 👀
I was lucky to pick up a G1 Hound in a charity shop about 15 years ago, along with Mirage, a few Micromasters, and a beat up Broadside for like £20. Was well chuffed!.
This guy looks suitably updated yet still that classic mould which is still strong even today.
I want Hasbro to give this treatment to Ultra Magnus.
Most likely that in the Movie, Hound was killed off screen at some point.
Loved having this version of Hound. Had the original one since I was like 6 years old and it is a mess. Still transforms but bits have broken off and chrome has worn. Now we get this lovely new one with tight joints and all the weapons, no chrome to rub off and it's in a fresh new paint scheme to give it a little more specialness. One of the best figures to get this year honestly.
Was not expecting a Chicago reference, of all things, in a video about Hound… But with a transformation like that, he had it coming
Magenta Hot Rod is an absolute dream. I got him a few months ago, and he filled a hole in my collection I didn't know existed.
I completely understand how you feel, I first experienced G1 Minibots until like 3 or 4 years ago when they reissued Tailgate and Swerve, which I got along with Hot Rod and when I got those I understood. Tailgate is super simple, yet brought me endless amounts of joy
Hound is such an underappreciated sweetheart, can never have enough Hound
Hound himself never rly did much for me, as a Unicron Trilogy kid - but the redeco of his Siege mold as Cybertron Defense Hot Shot rly helped me appreciate the base toy much more!
I'm in a similar boat but I found Hot Shot an odd fit for that mold (but the head's bang on perfect.) But it is kind of interesting that the Diaclone/G1 toy of Hound did inspire two whole decoes in Energon which is cool to see looking back.
I was not ready for a Chicago reference. Well done, sir!
0:35 Excellent blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment, but now I *do* expect a full cover by the end of next week XD
Wait, they actually released that prototype unicron figure?! Now that's what im talking about!
I would love for them to reissue star saber, victory Leo, Deathsaurus or some of those very hard to get Japanese only transformers. Since those are either broken, very expensive, damaged, or have lost their color over the years because of the plastic they used. Maybe once the trade mark comes around again since they did use Star saber and Deathsaurus for the HasLab. But yeah reissue are cool for those that just want the toy and don't care that's its not the first run. Great video as always sir.
Any chance of a new "knock off bet down" once you move house?
I’m a bit on the fence, they’re charging Voyager price for this in my area. If it was about deluxe price it’d seem fair for a 40 year old toy, that’s barely a repaint of the original.
Last two minute were very poetic and I totally relate. Great job sir
I hated how they did my green jeep boy in Transformers 5. My passivist army jeep was my favorite.
Loved the "Cell Block Tango" line during transformation! Kinda felt like a "Rocky Horror" callback line, ha ha!
That's weird, I thought Hound was the main character of the movie.
Thew you put why I love the Vintage G1s right at the end there. As someone who caught like, the Monsterbots, the Triggerbots, the Pretenders, Action Masters, I love the 84-85 cast but never got to experience them first. When I first got the Vintage G1 Prime and Minibots it gave me a sense of nostalgia, completeness and comfort that I still value every time I open a toy I missed out on. I picked up Starscream, Thundercracker and Hound and after so many re-imagining's and reworks it's nice to have them with their original forms, tinker with their original engineering, and put that puzzle on why we do what we do together just a little bit more. Your reviews are always bangers, but this one hit hard for me.
I do not care how minor they are I want the mini it’s to be released in this line I will pay so much for brawn or gears especially if they have the original face.
My favorite thing is that they even went the route of using the original Hasbro logo.
Give me the seige version of hound anyday I'm less likely to have a fit over those boxy feet lol
Siege Hound is so very much the robot the original box-art made 11-year-old me think he was buying.
Your vids are always informative and fun, Thew. This one is no exception! But man, I wasn't prepped for how much I actually laughed at the lil Billy Joel and Chicago references. 🤣 Congrats on the album, too! Rock on!
I really like the box art they did for the 86 SS and for this
What an adorable bot! It’s still supposing to see just how tiny he was
...Secretly Hound wants to be human? Wha...?
9:27 - I swear, there MUST be someone at Hasbro who's a fan of yours and has a very strong grip on the toys' release schedule just to screw with you. lol
"Sir? Are you sure we shouldn't release the Buzzworthy Hound now?"
"NO!! He hasn't made a joke about it yet. Steady..."
You should review more g1 toys their very cool!
Going to be honest I absolutely hate bumblbee
So here’s what I don’t understand about reissues, they complain about molds being stolen/destroyed but what is stopping them from ya know, 3d scanning pieces or even an entire g1 figure and just ya know…. Remaking the mold?
Hundreds of thousands of dollars, I’d imagine, since that’s how much it costs to make a mould.
Is it me, but without the chrome plastic weapons it takes me out of nostalgia-world???
And the green just looking… ‘wrong’. I love Hound, he was my first Transformer, but this just isn’t him.
I relive the childhood I never had through your videos, so thank you for sharing it with us, I discover things too watching your vids. Love yah man.
The chrome on the original G1 Hound really gives that added POP! Glad you were able to get your hands on this version of the mold.
As much as I'm really looking forward to the SS86 Hound figure, I also dearly love this. There's just something about the complex-yet-simple Diaclone molds where they had like a billion accessories and no articulation but only like 5 steps to transform and the alt modes just looked beautiful. Plus, the die-cast, those rubber tires and (on the originals) chrome just hit so hard.
So far this is the only reissue I've bought. Debating Thundercracker? I dunno
The G1 seeker mold is very partsformey but it’s a fun oldie
@Carlos D Rodriguez if it's fun to mess with I'll seriously consider it... my walmart has a few
@@TyphonMar hope you enjoy it
9:28 it got fuckin axed with the rest of veloci bois unfortunately. As much as I wanted an earth mode version of that mold. BUT NOOOOO
Nice vid! @8:09 I think the windshield flaps forward probably because actual Jeeps could do that too. :)
Stealthy Homestar AND Chicago references? You spoil us, Thew
Sometimes I wish I had a Jeep so I could tungin wofftner the rough ground while eating rustic sarnies.
Just snagged this guy for 15 bucks and couldn't be happier
Love it. They could have just called it G1 cartoon hound and the box could have been artworked up with G1 cartoon slides. Shit, they should have done that!
Anyway, no complaints. I have a complete new awesome looking G1 Hound and I am for that 1000%.
Starscream and Thundercracker was also released, but not Skywarp. He would be so sought after with collectors. I got Hound because he was one I wanted since I was a kid. I got G1 Sideswipe, Inferno, Tracks, Snarl and Prowl when I was 18. In 1988.
0:35 "Ronald Reagan, deregulation, cultural sensation" is a fantastic rhyme and I will use it any time I need to explain the origin of Transformers.
Hi Thewdue. I just got home from a grueling 2 month stint in hospital, where the wi-fi is weird. It won't let you watch anything remotely 'adult viewing' which, sadly, all your vids seem to garner, assumedly because of grown up words. Anyhoo, I am back to watching your fab content once again & happy to say, it never disappoints! Many thanks dude bro!
Found my OG copy of Autobots Lightning strike and Megatrons Fight for power along with My Transformers Universe and the Marvel UK Transformers collected comics of the first few issues a while back it really made my day to know I still had them.
7:37 I fully on belly laughed at this. You never stop surprising me and I love it! Somewhere out there's a Jazz review missing a pun though... :D
Hound was my first transformer and I still have him. I also have the ehobby Desert camo repaint that is very good. I pick up this one and it’s nice to get a new g1 toy. I had to get it one line do to my Walmart never got any or maybe I just missed it.
The windscreen folds forward onto the bonnet on the IRL Willy's Jeep. Veracity, baybeeeee!
Relatable. Most if not all my G1 toys are Commemorative era reissues. Generations Hound was a near prefect update an I liked how the Alternators Hound was a perfect homage to the original aesthetic of the toy complete with hip wheels, and G1 hood syndrome. Planning to get this one to go alongside Prime, and Prowl but also hoping for an updated SS 86 release.
Hound is up there with cliffjumper for favorites that got moved to the wayside. I mean optimus prime and the dinobots will always be the focus of my collection along with devastator but hound and cliffjumper aren't far behind.
Growing up with the Bay films, I had never really understood the appeal of the G1 toys. But somehow Hound makes the simple G1 idea of "a car that is also a man" make sense and I think I finally understand the appeal now. He is just a kind little green man and we're all better for it!
"Back-Droptimus Prime"
Sir, I've watched you since the bumblebee Brouhaha and *THIS* has deceased me 🤣🤣🤣
Love your stuff!! Keep it up Mang!
Just to ask if you are going to be building the Agora Models Optimas Prime or the Fanhome Optimas Prime.
This is just a suggestion as you may not know about them being available.
Reissues are about the only way I'm gonna be getting G1 stuff cause any of them second hand these days are yes pricey and/or messed up. Got the encore fort max back then, some of the Walmart reissues, of which I now have two versions of starscream and the movie one....well it looks nice but doesn't feel nice. The wings are so loose they don't lay flat in jet mode or upwards in robot mode, the missile launchers are super floppy and mostly just drop the pieces...just feels like the mold has hit it's end.
I’m looking forward to picking up hound. When I was first getting back into transformers, G1 hound was the first G1 bot I got.
Dude, why you painting your nails......
The only figures in my collection that are legit OG G1 are my Gears and my Wheeljack.
Hell yeah, man! Love hound! And yeah, reissues are a great way to get those okder figures! Sone of the ones i got feel a bit thinner wnd cheaper though 😅 love the new glasses, thew! 😁👌🏻
Outside of prime and sideswipe, Hound will always be my favorite of the g1 car robots
He's not a primary color and He isn't a sports car
I think Hound was included in part because well... its been a long while since they last touched him. Besides I do not expect a reissue of like Pretender stuff for a long time coming.
I'm upset with this line bc all I get to see in store is starscream witch is ok but I just got the g1 reissue of that why do I need a less visually striking version? I want the movie color Hotrod my favorite boy who seems now to be a walmart online exclusive that sold out too ebay. But I did pickup a Chinese g1 hound reissue in box at the flemarket out of the blue and love it all it's missing is a factory gold hood strip but with all the stickers who cares lol.
Really caught me off guard with that reference to The Most Beautiful Girl in the World 😵💫
Only G1 reissue i have is Optimus. Took him with me on deployment 2011-2012 haha.
Guess it might not be a good idea to tell him that Walmart is selling him online now for just under $10...and Magenta Hot Rod as well.
I think a big part of these prices is also how few of these are probably going to sell. It sucks but I can't blame Walmart for charging $35 for a toy that probably appeals to only a few people at this point
THE TRANSFORMERS: THE MOVIE
_Only in death, can meaning be found._
He was my fave from g1. Never had the g1 until this g1 reissue. And i love this
Yess! I feel all these ways about this Hound. Why's he in the movie line? Who gives a monkey's, it's put him in my hands for the first time and I haven't had to pay like a hundred quid for one that looks like it's been through a bark chipper.
Thew: watch that toy come out a day before i release this video - it’s gonna happen!
narrator: it didn’t happen
Wonderful video!! All the green to make scene!!
I have starscream and he’s amazing even though megatron won’t fit in his hand but it’s fine I think that gimmick is stupid and I’m wanting to make a coronation set for him (that ain’t gonna happen easily)
Love hound Had the G1 got him used would love to get this guy but cant find him great review thank you for sharing
Hound was my first transformer, back in '85
I have most of the accessories since 😲
This review brought a welcome to smile to my face after a long day of work
Thew I thank you
Well for better or worse, buzzworthy hound still isn’t out.
I wasn't expecting the cell block tango reference but boy that made my day!
ugh that 10 second flash of an inferno, they sold so fast in my area, and no one restocks quickly any more, I want him so badly
I never owned the original Hot Rod until recently. Always wanted it, never could get it as a kid. The reissue was great for me but Hound is another one of those I always wanted but never got, his appearance in the first episodes of G1 got me the way it was supposed to get me I guess. I thought he was cool and his toy looked unique but I never did get the original. I think the first and one of only two Hound toys I own in the Alternator one. I snapped that up as soon as I saw it back in the day because I was so desperate for a Hound fig.
I hope we get a Prime or Magnus in this line.
(Bonus points if they do a G1 Dead Prime)
Just registering that the accessories seen on the as yet unreleased hound are found recolored in the new toxitron line G2 jazz
The colour coordinated nail polish was never mentioned but noticed and got a laugh from me
