I have the Lockdown and Drift versions of these from AoE I found at charity shops.

By the way what the heck does 'wolfwire' mean? The wire bit confuses me. Weirdwolf could be Strangewolf, Oddwolf, Eccentricwolf...
...Bronzewolf?

Uhg that site, just... the graphics are fine I guess, but two typos on the homepage does not a professional impression encourage. And the caps-lock 'catagory' titles with a lower case letter at the start make it seem like they're sUDDENLY SHOUTING....GalvatronG1 wrote:Carnivius_Prime wrote:

haven't been around for a while but long enough to take the trademark, and the art kind of sucks if i am honest
...Ahem, sorry

Even the green doesn't bother me nearly as much as I thought it would; seeing him in-person on the store shelf I still hated the color, but once I had him in action I didn't have a problem with it at all. Honestly the only thing I find myself missing is the one or two Red Cross tampos. They just added a tiny bit of color variety which is somewhat needed, especially in his robot mode. (A tiny Autobot Reprolabel added to his shoulder - it wouldn't stick on his helmet where the actual Red Cross logo would have gone 'cause of the curvature - actually does a lot to fill that gap.) I'm sure Reprolabels will do a specific set for Hound eventually too, so I may have to think about getting that, but he's still pretty good even without any extra deco work.
All in all, a fantastic figure IMO and while I may be somewhat biased (Hound is my favorite Movie character after all), I'd strongly recommend picking him up after - or alongside - Megatron if you can spare the funds. I haven't had any experience with Wave 3 Voyagers, or any Deluxes past Wave 1, or any Leaders at all... uh, so this probably doesn't count for much... but out of what I have experienced, he's absolutely my second-favorite figure from this line so far (and a close second at that)

I wouldn't call him perfect by any stretch and his transformation is fiddly to the point of frustration the first time you do it, but he's such a better representation of the character than the AoE Voyager.
Been trying to make up my mind for ages which version of him to get. Never saw the AoE version on shelves here. And so far haven't seen the TLK version either though I can get it from Kapow or another online retailer when I choose to I suppose.

Admittedly I've never had the AoE Voyager either - so many things about it never appealed to me, not least those weird wibbly rubber forearms and total lack of paunch. But just on appearance alone I'd strongly recommend TLK Hound; if you're into the character, he's a plenty great toy however you slice it!

Aw I like the look of those wibbly arms. I do prefer the vehicle mode of the AoE vehicle. Just looks more solid and 'badass' to me. The TLK vehicle looks a bit mundane. At least when it hasn't got the cool rocket launcher thing on the back. And the feet look a bit odd and flat. Oh I dunno. It's hard to choose when just going by pics. I wanna feel them in hand and play with them both for a bit and see which I prefer.
