Editor's Notes
October 21, 2020:
The Transformers franchise has boasted a dedicated fanbase since its inception in 1984 and Hound has remained one of the most enduring and popular characters due to his empathetic, human-loving nature that stands out against many of his fellow Autobots' seeming indifference and the Decepticons' outright contempt. And just as the franchise, Hound has undergone many different iterations. Though there is a large community dedicated to celebrating the franchise's past, the recent movies and their overwhelming success have brought legions of new fans. This list seeks to appeal to all kinds of Transformers fans.
The number one spot on this list was given to the Transformers E3537 Generations War for Cybertron Hound as it really encapsulates everything that makes the series great. It is nostalgic and true to the past while still being updated for modernity. This allows it to bridge generations and bring both old and new fans together.
The Transformers: Age of Extinction Voyager Hound, Transformers: The Last Knight Voyager Hound, Transformers: Age of Extinction Hound Power Attacker all really stand out as movie tie-ins with their detail and appeal to collectors while also being very durable so kids can play with and fight them against their other toys without the parents having to worry too much about the figures breaking. They allow these kids to hold this character they have fallen in love with in their hands so that maybe ten, twenty years down the line they can build collections of their own and remember just what it felt like when they were young.
Finally, the Takara Tomy Masterpiece Hound Action Figure was given the last place because it was the least versatile of all on the list. Takara Tomy is a renowned toymaker whose work is highly coveted by collectors. It is a high-quality figure, just meant for a very certain demographic.
