New images of Universe Hound and Ravage!

A bit misstransformed?

Damn that looks good!
It does look better then the promo pics, must have him!

Thanks Sledge.

Must have.

Agreed about Hounds face! I was really worried about that and disappointed, but now it's a must buy and a half. Even feel better that ravage isn't simply a reissue of the original. Which I had already gotten with the Toys R Us exclusive Soundwave that also came with Laserbeak.

Weird color...

Must have. But can anyone explain why Ravage is paired up with Hound? Seems kind of odd to have an oversized cassette tape in the back of a car.

Gotta watch more G1 man...

Specific episode where Hound one-ups Ravage at the spy game. I can never remember episode names, but it's first season.

That is a definate must have. One of my favorite TF's with a ravage to boot.

yizchi521 of TF08 has posted images of the previously reported Universe Hound and Ravage, here. These images also give us a good ideal of how the figures will look in person.

I promised myself to get only Legends Class figures, so i shall stay with the legends Hound.

Such a must have!

With such a quality amount of new moulds coming out, looks like there are gonna be a few kids with bloody noses in the isles of TRU. I must have that Ravage and i'll go through anyone to get it.

another gr8 figure and true g1
will pick this up for sure

hoping for a trailbreaker, tracks and red alert next

I second that! They need lovin too.

Got mine ordered from BBTS

I'm really glad that from these new photos I can see that he doesn't have so much of a "baby face".

Imo, he looks like he could be one of the best new Universe Deluxe molds.

What the smack? That had better not be all we get of Ravage!

No hip gun, rocket things...

Very cool.

Ya Definite Buy. I just watched that G1 episode the other night with my son.

Nope. That was asked at the con. No biggie for me though. I have an extra set of G1 Ravage missles that I'll just add to him, assuming that they'll fit.

Now all we need is a Universe Soundwave that will come with updated versions of Rumble and Laserbeak.

And I'm not talking no Music Label or G1 Reissue either.

Dude i must have. Ive always wanted Hound and any Ravage is a must have for me. Not to mention it looks great. Cant wait til its out.

I'm waiting desperately for an MP Soundwave, as it seems like a logical next-in-line, but that Ravage is damn cool.

At worst, I may have to get him just to put with my 25th Baroness.

The Hound is great too, and one of my favorite characters, but the last thing I need is another line to collect.

Shame he's missing the rockets though, they sort of are essentials to the character. Hopefully the G1 ones fit?

instant win! =D

I HAVE music label SW and I'd get another if they issued him as a deluxe without all the electronics. He's so awesome!

Hound is tres cool, but Ravage sweetens the deal. I do wish he had the gun pods though.

Looks like Overbite can retire as my Ravage stand-in. I'll be sad to see Puppy Ravage go.

Wow! That's real nice! I will be getting that for sure! Nice homage with the inclusion of Ravage with Hound.....gotta love a G1-esque 2-pack!

Ravage.. .....RAVAGE!!!!!!!!

Ooh, I wonder if Ravage will be able to fit in Alt Ravage for some paradoxical transport?

very nice I'll be picking him up.

The both look very cool.

Hound looks like he'll need a set of Reprolabels to complete the look. The missing white star on his bonnet/hood really annoys me.

I wonder if Ravage can fir inside Cybertron Soundwave. I think they'd look very good together.

C'mon Hasbro make a Universe Rumble and Frenzy to complete the set.

I agree, please do make a Universe Rumble and Frenzy.

Oh god yes, we need a Universe Rumble and Frenzy. But only if they're sold together, with nothing on the packaging indicating which is which.

Sledge wrote:Oh god yes, we need a Universe Rumble and Frenzy. But only if they're sold together, with nothing on the packaging indicating which is which.

I like it.

Good job Hasbro. Both molds look well designed. The green looks a bit cartoony, I hope it's the lighting. I wonder if Takara will be issuing these?

Wow, I thought I was a crack whore for Legends Hound and now that I see more images of Deluxe Hound w/ Ravage I will go right back to loosing my mind.

This mold looks awesome, I love the fact he has a shoulder missle, it's a shame Sideswipe didn't get one...

His Jeep mode doesn't look that good, and the blue glass really doesn't work with the green but he's a buy on the strengh of the bot mode alone.

Wonder if the Henkei will have clear glass, darker green plastic and metallic gold paint for the stripes... that could crank Hound up to eleven

Fingers crossed for a Detritus repaint, mirite?

Ravage looks amazing. And Hound is superb.

Can't wait to add these guys to my Classics collection soon as they hit store shelves.

So these guys are out in the market already?

Wow, I love Hound even more now, and his face does look better than in the promo shot. But Hound will be a must-buy for me. Also, when are we going to see a deluxe Universe Jazz, legends Jazz is cool, but he needs a deluxe class upgrade.

I can bet Jazz will come up sooner or later. There's no way Hasbro is gonna pass up on such a popular figure. They're just keeping us hanging and gasping for air. That's ok with me. The later it comes out, means the better the design.

My question now is
will this still be $9.99????

I mean, we really are getting more than just a deluxe fig. here.


I would assume a deluxe Jazz is on the way.
And I'm hoping that we see a Blitzwing at some point as well.

Would be nice to see Blitzwing done as a voyager to get the triple changing goodness done well, but with Octane and Astrotrain as deluxes I cannot see it happening. Bring on an Ultra or Voyager Shockwave!

That's a good question. I hope the "anniversary" tag doesn't cost a couple of dollars more.

Wow, good figure requesting, aside from a deluxe Jazz, I hope Hound will help create more demand for Trailbreaker, Grapple, Hoist, Tracks, Red Alert, Blitzwing, and Shockwave.

And Hound still looks freakin' sweet!

I really think Hasbro has pulled its head out of its collective behind
and now realize what a great line of figures the Classics really is.

Jazz, Wheeljack, Red Alert, Tracks, Grapple, Hoist, Trailbreaker, Gears,
Blitz, Shockwave, Frenzy, Rumble, Shrapnel, Hardshell, Kickback, etc.---
I really think they're all going to happen.
Maybe not until after the next movie, but they will happen.

Similar to last year,
I believe that the new movie will give Hasbro a good financial boost and a lot of flex-room
so that Universe Classics will live on for many waves to come.

And the good part about having to wait imo,
is that it should increase the chances of most of those figures getting NEW (and of course improved) molds.

looks little like fisher price toy in vehicale mode robot mode looks great.

mistransfomed whats the differnce there great pictures of the figure ravgae with hound?

Good luck. It's too easy to repaint him into Swindle.

That, not gonna lie, looks absolutely fantastic! I've never had a Cassette TF, so this is welcome new comer to my collection!

Yeah, I'd be really surprised if Hasbro decided to go with one of ehobby's made up characters instead of... y'know... a proper one.

I agree with that. It's good that these popular characters come out one by one slowly. Giving each new one an improved mold design over the previous.

And it also helps loosen up the pinch on the wallet.

Imagine if all these great Classics comes out all at once, I'd be bankrupt!

While a Swindle repaint would seem likely, don’t forget, he’s already in Animated.

Not a problem as long as they're not released at the same time.
