I tried out Hound's canopy as his shield and I found it to be too heavy for Hound to wield it as a shield. It keeps on dragging the arm down on my Hound.
Not sure if Spike Witwicky...
...or David Hasselhoff
Yes
Only if cheap
Only if (something else)
No
Not even interested

God Binaltech Hound looks sexy. Masterpiece Hound is the most cartoony offering yet

Great photos and write up. I love the nod to the G1 boxart too

Another negative point about MP Hound is that there's no clearance beneath the car mode. It can't even roll on a flat surface, let alone go off road. Whereas BT Hound has loads of clearance and working suspension!Originally Posted by Lint
In between taking comparison shots, I deliberately dropped BT Hound in Jeep mode onto the tiled floor and it bounced as it landed. I love how the shock absorbers on this toy actually absorb shock.
BT Hound can roll off-road whereas MP Hound can't even roll on-road. Yeesh.
A few more pics...
The canopy/shield can hold most of Hound's accessories (just not the hologram stuff)
Unfortunately it makes the already heavy shield even heavier. There's no way that my MP Hound can hold this shield (couldn't even hold it properly when it wasn't storing anything, now it's got less than Buckley's)
Hound is actually taller than most of the other MP Cars.
Next to Henkei Hound.

Mine hasn't arrived yet but in one online video it definitely rolls but the front wheels don't rotate as freely as the back ones.

Absolutely loving this guy! Transformation is complicated but intuitive and I was able to do it entirely without instructions. Looks awesome in both modes, with the only blemish for the bot mode being the neck hinge, but whatevs. Even though it references one G1 episode, I quite like the look of him with the canopy on the Jeep mode, although I kind of wish they had given us a cage for Ravage instead (referencing MTMTE). Really love the fact that his vehicle accessories (gas can, rear cannon and spare tire) can store in his feet for robot mode without needing to detach them, although you can detach them if you wish.
He sure is expensive but now having it in hand I can see where the money goes. Highly recommend!

Anyone have a comparison of all the new Spike figures that have come with the recent Masterpieces - MP-44, MP-45 & MP-47 and how they compare as a whole to the previous "generation" of minifigures that we got with MP-10, MP-25 and MP-39?

Here is MP45 and MP47 Spikes. As you can see the one that comes with Hound is much larger. I also did a comparison with MP44 and MP45 Spikes on the MP45 review thread

Thanks for all the pics. Can't wait to get my hands on this, looks amazing and fills a hole having never seen G1 Hound in the flesh. Also the inevitable toy repaint will be even better.

Mine appears to be fine and undamaged in the box but I admit I am now reluctant to transform it... :/
