Accessories: "W-5 Holo-Beam Refraction Blaster,” "RT-10 IR Electro-Scope Launcher,” ammo clip (combine to form "HD Vector-Beam Mega-Blaster”)

Part of the first wave of Siege Deluxe Class figures, Hound transforms from robot to Cybertronian jeep and back. He includes the "W-5 Holo-Beam Refraction Blaster” and "RT-10 IR Electro-Scope Launcher,” which are compatible with the C.O.M.B.A.T. System, and can combine to form the "HD Vector-Beam Mega-Blaster,” or can be mounted onto his shoulder. The Refraction Blaster comes with a detachable ammo clip, which can be stored in the bed of the jeep. Hound’s colors are more subdued than his other figures, and he also features "battle damage” paint applications on his bullbar and shins, as well as multiple hardpoints all over himself and his weapons to accommodate "Fire Blasts” from the Battle Masters assortment, which can be used to simulate blaster fire or explosions.
His vehicle mode has a sculpted winch, in the center of which is a hole. If some thread is fed through, this makes his winch somewhat functional.
Though designated for release in the first quarter of 2019, Hound’s wave reached U.S. store shelves in late 2018.
This mold was redecoed into War for Cybertron Trilogy Hound (below), and retooled into Generations Selects Hot Shot. In an artistic error, Hound was depicted with Hot Shot’s head on his package art, long before the latter retool was officially revealed. Additionally, Hound’s earliest computer-generated stock images depicted him with an opaque green windshield, rather than the translucent windshield of the final product.
