Optimus ordered the Autobots to abandon humanity forever and flee to the stars aboard the stolen ship, a plan Hound was soundly with. Hey, at least the big guy was honest.ĪM I THE ONLY ONE AROUND HERE WHO GIVES A SLAG ABOUT THE ENERGON?! Indeed, when the team regrouped, the ship was found to have made an extremely rough landing. It was at that moment Optimus made his presence in a cell known, and ordered Hound to commandeer the separate ship docked with Lockdown's the cell block was in, though he confessed to Optimus he was a "sucky" pilot.

Despite the creature's relative harmlessness, Hound couldn't find it in him to let it survive, and quickly destroyed it. Eventually, the group found Lockdown's high-security vault, where Hound had a disgusting encounter with an alien life-form. Hound took charge of the Autobots and led them in the search for Optimus, assigning Cade to search the cell block for Optimus and Tessa. After warning the group about Lockdown's inevitable booby-traps, Hound had to aggressively prod Crosshairs into helping rescue Optimus and Tessa. The Autobots, Cade and Shane ventured to Chicago, and covertly stowed away on Lockdown's ship (though Hound admitted it was probably a bad idea). But that ain't gonna happen.Ĭrosshairs, I got buddies who died face down in the muck so that you and I could enjoy this family restaurant! If I stop covering ya, it means I'm dead. He is also sometimes partnered with the Dinobot tracker Slash. He is good friends with the far more relaxed Trailbreaker, although his more relaxed attitude can sometimes get on Hound's nerves. except maybe one that doesn't give him a chance to blast at least a few Decepticons. In short, there's no mission he won't take. He will take on an entire Decepticon army if he has to, and he would sooner go down swinging than abandon his allies on the battlefield. It's this love for his comrades that makes him such an effective warrior. His boisterous streak hides a soft-Sparked 'bot, who, despite arguments and bickering, loves his fellow Autobots and commander even more than he loves a good rumble. The only thing that just might take a toll on Hound is the loss of a friend.

And while his tendency to switch from gun to gun in quick succession in a single battle often leaves him bereft of weapons and ammunition, Hound's bravery and resourcefulness are never in doubt. He takes to battle like a spark to a plug and is quick to draw any of his many, many guns. While some of his peers would flee from danger, Hound can't get enough of it. He is a boisterous warrior who throws himself into every mission with no more worries than a duck landing on a pond. Hound is a technical specialist and highly experienced, gutsy Autobot commando. Son, this is what happens when you frag a stranger in the aft!
