KO Hound Pics + Mini-Review

When I first saw this I thought it was going to be a cheap plastic knockoff of the binaltech jeep hound. Imagine my surprise when I lifted the box and found it to be a bit heavier than usual.Good thing there was a demo model nearby so I managed to scrutinize it before I bought one for roughly $10.
Hound's detailing is very impressive, the joints super tight. I had to move the ball joints back and forth before they yielded enough for me to fold them back.
The hand is articulated at the wrist, index finger and the rest of the fingers move together. Hound's arms, legs and head are mounted on a ball joint so there's lot of movement and poses that're available for him to do. My only grip is that the connectors for his arms to his shoulders are a bit thin, and any slight show of force might break it off.
Hound's tires are all rubber and spin freely. They even have their own separate spring suspension system. Unlike other KOs, all 4 wheels touch the ground at the same time.
Hound's gun folds up and is stored in his spare tire, so there's no danger of losing it, unless you forgot to store it and your kid brother plays with it or eats it.
Unfortunately, it doesn't come with an instruction manual, so I had to look at the pictures here to try and determine how to transform him.
Of all the KOs I've encountered and bought, this is by far the best one I've ever seen. I'm sure, if the original and this one are stood side by side, you'd be hard-pressed to tell which is which.
As for KOs that disappoint: 1:1 KO Devastator. super loose joints on all the constructicons, unpainted faces, and when they combine , Scrapper and Mixmaster can't even hold Devastator up due to the aformentioned joint looseness.
tl:dr: HOUND IS MADE OF WIN! Devastator sucks.
Awesome!
