When awakened in 1984, he was reformatted to have a terrestrial alt-mode, that of a Mitsubishi military jeep.Īs the Autobots got their bearings on this strange, new planet, Optimus Prime dispatched Hound on a recon mission to find the Decepticons. Hound was one of the original Autobots aboard the Ark when it crash-landed on Earth four million years ago. Yeah!!! Let's start buildin' some Hurtin' Bombs. So what we're gonna be calling on is good old blunt force trauma - heavy duty power punches that're gonna rattle his ancestors. You've got arthritis in your neck, and calcium deposits on most o' yer joints, so sparring is out. Escalation! American cartoon continuity Voice actor: Ken Sansom (US), Kenyu Horiuchi (Japan) The Gathering Darkness Later, Hound also got involved in protecting the planet Ethos from genocide. Devices and Desires! Still, he knew good sense when he heard it, even from Grimlock, and when Prime thought it was a good idea for him to go meet the Decepticons alone, Hound arrived with Grimlock and a rescue battalion just in time to keep Megatron from destroying his old nemesis. Primal Fear As one of the more level-headed Autobots, Hound did not participate in Grimlock's ill-advised strike on the Liege Centuro and his fleet. After Prime and Jhiaxus managed to temporarily cease fighting long enough to deal with the parasites, Hound scanned the Transformers for any remnants in their systems. War Without End! Following this, he was the only Autobot not infected by the psychic parasites of the K'Tord Nebula, due to a blow to the head that knocked him off-line. He was disgusted by the bloodlust shown by Blades, who berated Hound for being a liability. Hound joined Grimlock's unit in leaving Cybertron to find new conflicts and fought against the technoforming fleets of the Cybertronian Empire. He was presumably revived by the Nucleon infusion Grimlock gave all the Ark's deactivated Autobots. Hound was one of the scores slaughtered by the Underbase-powered Starscream. Following this, he tried several times (unsuccessfully) to get Ultra Magnus to assist the Autobots against Galvatron and also took a critical view of Jetfire's tactics, especially as the Autobots were beaten again and again.
This led to Cyclonus taking out Jazz and almost killing Hound, with only the arrival of Ultra Magnus saving him.
When Galvatron made his time-jump to 1986 and Optimus Prime and Prowl were lost in Limbo, Hound and Jazz were sent to spy on Decepticon activity. After the Ark was reclaimed, he was one of the Autobots who opposed using the Matrix to create super-warriors, and also assisted Mirage in capturing Ravage (though Ravage was taking a dive). The Transformers (comic issue) Following this, he was present at the Sherman Dam battle. Consequently, he was one of the first to realize the existence of human lifeforms and was involved in the first battle on Earth at a drive-in theater (which the Autobots thought was a religious gathering for cars). When the Transformers awoke in 1984, Hound was part of the Autobot contingent allowed by Optimus Prime to explore Earth. Note: Events from the UK-only comic stories are in italics.

He's a meek, benevolent soul, even compared to his fellow Autobots. He uses this opportunity to explore the breathtaking caverns and mountainous expanses that Earth provides. He treasures his job as an Autobot scout, making good use of his ability to project holograms for added disguise. He sees humankind as beautiful and wishes he could interact with their ecosphere the same way they do, to feel what they feel and to see what they see. Now that Hound has been shipwrecked on Earth, he considers this planet his home. The dark, barren metalscapes of Cybertron no longer interest him.
