I'm actually happier that it's this mold. I was going to skip the Junkion because I don't care for them but thought the mold was cool.

I think they should've at least remolded the "mad max" parts rather than fully reuse this mold with a different color scheme and new head only. IMO

Ngl this looks rather nice.
It's pretty much exactly what I expected, although I did wonder if they were going to remove the scrapyard aesthetic since it doesn't really seem fitting. Either way I do find this colour scheme more interesting than Scraphook's.

Yeah, like those wheels, I agree. Honestly, this toy seems to go against what I thought hasbro was doing, which is just use redecos for characters that make sense. It seems we are back to the GDO days of slapping on a head and giving a different accessory along with a new colour scheme and calling it a day.

Just preordered two Cybertron Jazz figures. We just need that darn Hound...

Thanks very much for the timely posting. I saw the Guardian announcement and ignored the Jazz update.
Up at Target now, too:

Thanks for the Target link! Not able to order Pulse as I'm not Premium nor plan to be, pus it would likely be sold out in seconds once it became available to all.
I had to resist excitement to order two and just keep it to one, good thing Pulse's eta says 4/10 because if it had said 4/1 I'd have been skeptical. lol

Ever since I saw Tow-Line I completely forgot about Hound
. I wonder if they will release Hound in Buzzworthy packaging with a SS number (similar to Cliffjumper) basically shoot 2 birds with one stone.

If he's a SS 86 release (which I believe he is) he'll have a number. I just want some news.

I think what he's getting at is that "Earth Mode Hound" may pull double duty for Legacy and Studio Series, like ER Cliffjumper did, but unlike Ironhide who got a brand-new mold for Studio Series.

There's also the scenario of him not releasing at all this year. Hasbro explained that there was some rerouting with exclusives during the last discussion, where something planned that was not related to Rise of the Beasts was put on hold. That's the explanation for Hot Rod not coming out (which I admit, is odd since that just left velocitron wave 2 with no voyager class for shelves). that same explanation could be used for Hound no longer planned to come out. We have seen that Target is going more the route of Rise of the Beasts this year.
All to say: no one should hold out on Hound until he is revealed by Hasbro. Until then, his chance of distributions may have been scrapped.

Sounds logical, I thought for sure we'd see Hound preorders and arrive in stores before Origins Jazz which only just surfaced about a week or so ago. Meanwhile we've known about Hound for months.

No guarantee I’ll keep him, but I preordered Jazz.
I won’t be crushed if Hound isn’t released until next year.
I’m still very anxious to hear who’s in the 2 pack.

Key word there. Toy production is usually 18m-2yrs. We have had rumor of Hound for a while, but we “knew” an Origins Jazz was on the table since Siege or Earthrise (although at the time it was very early stages and written off as an idea) Hound is farther along in design, but we didn’t hear about him until after they were talking about JaZ, and we are just now getting him

Hound was on my most wanted list now that everyone of prominence has essentially been covered, sadly after seeing what he looks like in Buzzworthy it appears I'll have to wait even longer for a proper version.

Maybe he's not for you, but I didn't see anything obviously improper about the render shown

Hound will likely be revealed around the time Detritus gets revealed. They're very likely going to share a mold (even though some people think otherwise for some reason?)
