    I like him. My only issue is he's not on my shelf right now.

    I asked TCP this same question recently and was told that these samples aren't the same ones that Paik was messing with during his video reviews.

    I honestly keep forgetting he was even in the show. wasn't too memorable. XD

    God the animation model looks terrible. his arms, how the hell does he even raise them over his head? lol

    They are literally attached to his midsection. :lol 

    Kinda looks like a Gobot drawn by Hannah-Barbera

    I wonder how Skids would have looked had he been featured in Transformers The Movie.

    I was down for this guy. I was ready to put in my order and hit ship, I was ALL IN!!! And then hound happened.......and with the rumors of mirage and jazz coming next year, I just can’t imagine Takara won’t do a skids some time in the near future to finish out the carbots along with Trailbreaker.

    If you're talking about the 86 movie, he probably would have been dead on the floor next to Windcharger and Wheeljack.

    MakeToys Gundog 2N version is an awesome Hound I don't see myself replacing. So Takara announced an MP Hound? Curious to see how it turns out but not really a 'need to have' when good 3P options exist.

    Wonder if that is definitely happening? I'd prefer him to Skids- but I'd pretty much decided to get Skids (despite disliking his head).

    That is quite optimistic, i mean it taked a long long time for Hound, and you expect already 2 of the most wanted carbots for next year and then Skids? I mean they are so in for Movie & Beastwars and they already showed a Hound and a new Prime. Sit back relax and let pass two more years at least before Skids.

    As long as i have the money XTB is coming home.

    I'm talking about the 1986 animated movie. I'm speaking in terms of how he would have looked animation-wise. He was never did get the top notch art treatment in the G1 episodes he was in.
