I'm pretty sure Hound is the medic now because irony.


I'm sure there will be a reason in the film for him being one.

[Nemesis Maximo]

I feel like this might violate the Geneva Convention.

I genuinely laughed out loud at this one!

I'm pretty sure they don't write dialogue for Hound, they just record John Goodman on a drunken vendor.

And also at this one!

With every shot at Decepticon...

BLAM!
"Medic!"
BLAM!
"Medic!"

I didn't actually laugh out loud at this one, but I definitely chuckled.

Good stuff, folks.

Awesome. I loved Hound in AoE. He was a lot of fun and has a great design.

[Nexus Knight]

I can totally see him quoting Prime Ratchet from the "Stronger, Faster" after beating shooting up a bunch of 'Cons- "Don't worry, I'm an emergency vehicle."

[Munkky]

Trying to picture Hhound as a medic, and the first thing I thought of was Ana Amari from Overwatch, and her sniper rifle with healing bullets.

Hound: "Don't worry, I'll heal your injuries with my special healing bullets!"
Injured Autobot: "Healing WHAT?"
BLAMBLAMBLAMBLAMBLAMBLAM
Hound: "........Oh wait, those were normal bullets....."

Well... I think this AoE line is simply ugly. The deisgn of all the bots is too anthro, even with some ridicolous features (Hound with belly and beard!). I don't mean they've to remind G1 style, absolutely: but this design wipes out all the alt modes pieces (except for the motorcar brands, of course: money is money) showing bots like men in metal suits and nothing more.

I think the previous line had a more balanceed look (TF1-2-3): I know they've to change shapet to sell more toys, but there were many ways to change and this was a bad way, in my opinion.

[ZeroWolf]

I don't know some have always looked like this style and there's been beard on bots since G1 and animated rachet had a belly to help with the impression that he was the oldest. Still if you don't like the style then fair enough, wouldn't be the first time in this fandom that a style choice divided fans

Because I'm a prick and because I found this funny, I just have to share in the hopes that others find it funny.

And if you take offence to it, well ... that just makes it funnier.

As a Ratchet fan I'm kind of offended by this, (okay not really offended but still...). Hound - the movie version at least - is pretty much the complete opposite of a medic.

Probably the most accurate image ever to this situation.

While I dislike Michael Bay as a person as he just sounds like an overall unpleasant human being to me; I do have a soft spot for these movies since the first one did revitalize my interest in TFs actually. So it's why I'm tolerant of them mostly. Though I do have my own critical moments myself.

I wonder if the reason why Hound took a "medic form" is an ode to Ratchet maybe? Would definitely be a nice way to explain it if they decide to actually give it some depth.

First thing I thought of on seeing hound as a medic

Love it, and very true.

I was in the army and a medic, and I had my finger on a trigger most of the time too lol. Seriously though G1 Sunbow First Aid was a big influence on my being a medic. With the TF movies I try not to get bent out of shape too much about looks and stuff. After this long I have accepted what they are and just enjoy them. I still have my G1/IDW/Prime etc. Although Barricade, Crosshairs, Sideways, Megatrons and 1-3 Optimus are pretty good looking.

[Underc3211]

This isn't movie hot rod; this is movie wild rider. He at least needs more red than black to at least look like he could be hot rod. I'm just happy that the transformers look more like transformers now.

[Underc3211]

As a medic I think I might trust shattered glass ratchet a little more than movie hound.

[Bronzewolf]

Seibertronians, are you hyped enough for TF5 yet? The official movie Instagram doesn't seem to think so! After a week of almost non-stop Autobot robot-mode reveals, they've moved on to Decepticons! The first one out of the gate is Barricade! Barricade put in an appearance in both the 2007 movie we well as Dark of the Moon, but hasn't been seen since. But he sticks to his trend of appearing in the odd-numbered movies with his latest appearance.
And speaking of his latest appearance, he has gone through quite a change-up. His robot mode is now a whole lot smoother and his head now resembles Bumblebee with his mask down (Dude must hold a grudge or something). He also appears to take after Hound, with a whole host of weapons available, which include right-arm mounted tasers, a multi-barreled gun over his left arm, a right hip mounted gun, and even some brass knuckles sporting the options of "Protect/Serve" or "Punish/Enslave" for some nice lettered up punch marks (look on his back for the alternate knuckles). Check his new robot mode out below!

[Fires_Of_Inferno]

I hate the slight resemblance to Bumblebee with the mast down, but I love the design over all. Especially the knuckle dusters, that's awesome. Still not going to see the movie in theaters, but I like the design here!

[EvasionModeBumblebee]

Barricade's knuckles say "protect" on one hand and "serve" on the other, but on his elbows he has another set with "Punish" and "enslave". Interesting. . ..

[MrGameAndToy]

The first one out of the gate is Barricade, the bit who hasn't been seen since the first TF movie, back in 2007!

Actually, he was in DoTM. He was with Soundwave, then proceeded to get shot in the face by some humans.

Also, *bot.

[Fires_Of_Inferno]

I just realized the amount of stuff he has hanging off of him! He's got a side-arm on his right hip, a baton on his left, multi-barreled weapon on his left arm, two tazer-looking things on his right arm, hand cuffs, knuckle dusters. I really like his look!

[Sigma Magnus]

...well this is just awesome.

[Kurona]

It's... a decent design, but I'm having trouble picking out similarities to Barricade. Or have I just not seen Movie Barricade in that long? I'm not the only one who thinks the two Barricades look completely different, right?

[DedicatedGhostArt]

Same as I thought at first, but now that I look at how this design itself looks, IT LOOKS BADASS. I do kinda miss the alien-like look of Barricade from before though.

[#Sideways#]

I thought he showed up -- and promptly died -- in TF3, breaking his hiatus from the films?

Regardless, I actually quite like this design for him. But somehow, and I know this sounds odd, but I almost wish that he and Bee teamed up to fight the Quintessions or something like that.

[Fires_Of_Inferno]

Man, I KNOW he's going to be a background character with an unsatisfying death, but I swear I would love to see him use all those weapons and such in inventive ways in a fight, like what Hound did in AoE.
