Previously Leaked Hound Might be Coming in a Gen Selects Multipack

Even now, three years after Kingdom, Hasbro just couldn't resist giving us yet another release of that Earthrise Wheeljack mold, as if we haven't already had plenty of releases that shelfwarmed to here and back.

Well I definitely won't be getting this Hound then. I have all the other ones. I hate these multi-packs. I'll stick with the siege mold.

The only one I'd really want from the set is sunstreaker
I'm fine with siege Hound
Don't really care about trailbreaker I have Hoist and like him better
And I don't really like that wheeljack. I was tempted with bee movie wheeljack but im holding out hope a Prime version of the character is released in a few years

Dammit, I was actually looking forward to this one. I don't need all five of those figures.

Sigh, I really don't want to pay $120+ just to get a CHUG version of G1 Hound.

You could sell off the others. Or maybe find someone here to split the set and share the cost.

At least these will sell unlike all the Disney merchandise crowding Disney discount warehouses nationwide.

Maybe never

Ouch, this is a five pack now?!
IDK, I just don't need another Jazz or Wheeljack, and in truth I could probably do without Trailbreaker since I've got Hoist. I just though since he appeared in a few episodes he'd be neat to have but I'm running out of room quite fast. And I'm honestly not totally digging that Hound, feels a bit too light in color for starters and it's not quite as "Hound" to me.

I'll probably just pass.

I'm looking forward to this set just for Sunstreaker alone.
Since I'm not a huge fan of a lot of the Autobot characters, my critiques are usually more tame because I just don't care as much.
While this new Hound probably could and should be better, what's seen in the image is definitely good enough for me.
Like Sunstreaker, I never saw Trailbreaker, and I actually like his design more than Hoist's, on top of being a figure that will add a little visual variety to the shelf.
As a couple others have mentioned, if Wheeljack and Jazz are made with all solid plastic, that's a win. If this pans-out, I have a plan for a diorama where the current versions of these two may be disassembled, customized, and used as destroyed, random bots; unfortunate victims of Tarn and Jhiaxus teaming-up and going on a rampage.

I'm a little surprised that Wheeljack and Jazz have been included over others that were past exclusives like Sideswipe, Bluestreak, or even Red Alert. But this set does tell us that Hastak is aware of and/or heard enough chatter about those difficult-to-find ER waves. And I can appreciate that.
Even if these figures end up having clear plastic, I'm still in for this set.
I'm so close to retiring from the collecting game that I don't expect to see new versions of any of these characters before I bow-out. I think it's fair to say that almost all of the recent and semi-recent figures of G1 characters are very close to if not definitive versions.
Whatever small improvements could possibly be made to most of these probably won't be worth the price increase 3-5 years from now anyway.

Really wasnt fussed about hound, classics is still the go to but if sunstreakers yellows are done right then I might pick this set up. I need jazz anyaways, trailbreaker is fine for something to repaint into another diaclone color and wheeljack is...really, really unwanted.
