Title:
Hound With Spike MP-47
Description:
Hound (December 26, 2019)
ID number: MP-47
Accessories: 2 side mirrors, Hologram gun, machine gun, spare tire, gas can, key, roof cover/shield, Spike Witwicky figure, hologram effect, hologram pilot. smiling face, screaming face.
Masterpiece Hound transforms from a licensed Jeep CJ-3B to a show-accurate robot, down to the shrunken back wheels on the sides of his feet.Accessories for this figure include two alternate faces (as is the standard for modern Masterpiece releases), his hologram gun (with a hologram shooting effect part), the car-mounted machine gun, a spare tire and gas can, plus a bunch of specific episode-related accessories: a figure of Spike Witwicky to represent their relation in the original 3-parter, plus the hologram driver he briefly showcased in "More than Meets the Eye, Part 2” and the key for Ravage’s cage from "More than Meets the Eye, Part 3”. His final accessory deviates from the usual bunch of toy and cartoon-related accessories and it’s entirely new: a roof cover that turns into a shield, apparently inspired by the one found on his live action counterpart’s Movie The Best toy or perhaps by the folding roof that he deploys briefly in "Atlantis, Arise!”. As an additional note, his head features a flip-out face shield, representing the one he used in the underwater scenes from "More than Meets the Eye, Part 2”.Due to the engineering, the spare tire, the gas can, and the machine gun can fold up inside his feet in robot mode without the need for partsforming, but they can still be stored inside the roof cover, along with the cage key and the alternate face accessories, with the pipe and handle parts of the hologram gun being stored under the unfoldable panels in each of his lower legs.
His jeep mode features an opening hood, and while it mainly just reveals his arms and head, there is an engine piece put in to hide his face. As an unfortunate side effect, there is a risk of the engine block piece chipping the paint on his face. He can be left faceless for the transformation, although the third face piece doesn’t have room for storing it anywhere.For other quality control issues, the lower end of the painted thighs can also easily chip off due to the friction between the piece and the lower legs. Probably due to tolerance or design failure (or both), the panels that cover the rear section of the lower legs are prone to breaking. There have also been many reports of this figure’s parts developing cracks with minimal or even no handling, prompting speculation about an unstable plastic mix.Per the brand unification of TakaraTomy and Hasbro, Hound was directly released with no changes by Hasbro Pulse in the United States and Canada.
