Toy Review - Siege Hound

[Paulbot]

I'm a fan of this figure and I do like his colours better, however I really dislike how "breakable" his legs can be in transformation.

Yeah the hinge joint of the jeep’s side pieces isn’t strong enough on mine and has come off multiple times

I'd heard a lot of praise so I was expecting something pretty great. There are some pleasant enough elements to the transformation, but I can't get over the dodgy arms under the alt mode. Aside from that I do think he's pretty solid though.

The arms are bad and feels like several things that should lock in just don’t including the shoulders, back of the jeep in jeep mode (although locks in for robot).

Would be nice if the legs didn’t have to be in a wide pose to stand up.

Overall better than CW version I guess so if you’re wanting to replace that figure give this one a go.

Not really sure what the appeal of this figure is. The more pics I see of him the more he looks like a massive step backwards from Henkei/Universe Hound. :/
The headsculpt is nice though. Puts him ahead of CW Hound at least.

Yeah... I'm in the same boat. Looking at the comparison photos, I much prefer the look of the Henkei version.

I initially voted I wouldn't be getting this one but what caused the change of heart is the fact this Hound has all these weapon ports all over. Something the Henkei/Universe Hound doesn't. And so attaching all the weapons from Generations Roadbuster makes for quite a compelling sight in both modes.

PS. I like that the Siege Hound has more G1 authenticity than the Henkei/Universe version.

Is it closer to the G1 toy or cartoon?

Strictly speaking toys here. Yes when you compare the shade of green and design (more straight edges/box-like) to the Henkei/Universe one.
