The heavy retooling is a big improvement over Siege Hound. The designers have done an admirable job in trying to approximate/match the colours of the original toy, including silver on the centre of the helmet crest, and even a painted goatee on the face. The glossy deep peach plastic doesn't look as nice as the matte plastic and painted die-cast metal on the original. There is also no weathering effects (although given how badly Hasbro handles "damage" paint ops, I'd rather that they'd give us a clean looking toy).

This toy does feature both an Autobot logo in robot mode and a Decepticon logo in vehicle mode. I've added extra logo stickers so that my toy displays both factions in both modes; but it is somewhat odd that Hasbro didn't just give Detritus the new Mercenary logo that we see on toys like Exhuast, Soundblaster, Bug Bite etc. Great figure. Recommended.

Alas I have never owned Siege Hound. The one that I reviewed belonged to The Scream Man.
