Looks like all of the weapons can combine just like Landcross'! Check out Ben Yee's review and scroll down to the image link for "Weapons Combined."

I agree. I don't think AoE Hound is really rotund at all, but just a big robot who carries a lot of gear on him. Modern soldiers can carry a lot of gear on them, and Hound has always felt like he's got that sort of motif in the film.
