IKR! After I painted my AOE Bee up he looks absolutely amazing. I even used the clips off of some yellow mechanical pencils to form the claws on his plasma cannon.

I would like to see this.

Via the Facebook page/community Transformers Cars, we have a look at a military vehicle which closely resembles Hound from Age of Extinction - though a little more trim. Indication that this may be a new alt-mode for the John Goodman character in The Last Knight come from the logo on the side of the vehicle, and the Decepticon-esque badges on the door. Check them out below, and speculate away in the Energon Pub!

Wish he'd lose the stupid beard

Oh HELL no! He'd better keep that beard!

[Sir Soundwave42]

I bet that the decepticon marks are how Hound keeps count of how many cons he killed during the war, only excuse I can think of.

[Rainmaker]

Wish he was more like his G1 character.

[ZeroWolf]

Not a really drastic change is it really but I like it.

Also beards have been part of transformers since G1 so it's far too late to complain about it now.

Wait a minute...it has a red cross...

MILITARY RATCHET CONFIRMED

If I recall correctly, putting on scratched-out symbols of your enemy to signify how many you've killed is a thing in some military installations. It was the reasoning behind the first Titanium Megatron having three Autobot symbols.

First thing I thought of when I saw this, and it does seem like a very Movie Hound thing to do.

Bumblebee has been confirmed to make a return in Transformers: The Last Knight

[irony]Gosh. I was really hoping he'd be in the film but I really wasn't sure they'd want to keep him. [/irony]

Also rachet is pretty much as dead as flares and tank tops. I.e. he's dead Jim.

[Noideaforaname]

Hound's a medic? That's terrifying.

[Bradimus]

I would have been disappointed if my favorite scene stealing "fat ballerina" didn't return. I just hope he doesn't get killed off. It would be nice to have a new core group of at least OP, Bee, and Hound.

[RevTibe]

Kinda neat having a non-medic character turn into a medic vehicle; no need for that to line up 100% of the time.

I'm just happy to have more recurring TFs - killing off the portly, bearded, gregarious gun-nut Leadfoot between DotM and AoE only to be replaced by the portly, bearded, gregarious gun-nut Hound seemed like a bit of a waste. (I suppose we could also match up Crosshairs to Sideswipe, and Drift to Dino/Mirage).

[OptimalOptimus2]

Well, at least the characters are getting somewhat new alt-modes. Guess Hasbro learned that designing the same character design is a little boring. Bumblebee being confirmed to come back isn't exactly a confirmation. Everybody knows that Bumblebee is an immortal Autobot that just keeps reappearing no matter what. Let the hive of Bee toys release!

Almost in animated movie two soldiers turned leader soldier Magnus turned leader when prime died Magnus became soldier again and horrid became leader

I love how the most violent autobot is dressed-up as a medic now.

[ZeroWolf]

Any different then blades being a rescue helicopter?

No. I figure the irony, much like Blades, is very intentional. Still tickles me though.

[Deadput]

Well someone needs to fill in Ratchet's role Crosshairs would probably be too lazy, no one would trust an ex Decepticon like Drift to repair them and Bumblebee is Bumblebee.


I feel like if Hound did become a medic it's because no one else wants too.

Ta-da!

The top claw actually clips in nicely, the bottom one falls out if you look at it funny
Not entirely accurate (as Bee's cannon in AOE is under his hand, not replacing it), but I still think it works

[D-Maximal_Primal]

Bee's new alt mode is really cool looking. Yet another awesome Camaro!

And if that is Hound, wow. I loved the character and I'm happy he's coming back, but I kinda wish this was a new character to be Hound's buddy

[Hellscream9999]

Glad to see Hounds back, loved that guy in AoE, was afraid he would die at the end of the movie.

His toy was great too, hoping for another great figure
