this evofusion crap gives me tachycardia . He really looks like crap, that color…. So, "bla blabla junkions appart bla bla bla"…. so this junkion does not get appart. Which was what I was expecting, when i was STILL expecting BS from hasbro. "oh… that recolor from original hound in the 80ts.." I am not the only one for sure, that was like "oh another junkion, and jeep? must be very cool to get him apart for the others" Anyway, Siege Hound wins for me. And its my definitive Hound.
Since he's Junkion, he's a must-have for me. Seems like Hasbro currently is having a blast with repaints/minor retools – Toxitron collection, SDCC 2023 reveals – mostly (except Ultra Magnus) repaints. Old habits die hard. Speaking of prices, currently in my area price for a deluxe figure almost doubled since Siege. Voyagers are $50+, deluxes are $35-40, leaders $80-90, quality goes down (I was shocked when I plugged Wildrider onto Menasor's leg and 5mm ports on Wildrider immediately stress marked like on $5 KO), prices go up, madness.
I know that it's the cab in vehicle mode, but that hollow lower back in robot mode is killing me. Still kinda want this guy and the inevitable Hound soon to come.
They just need to give us earth mode Hound already… it's been like 4-5 different lines(Earthrise, Kingdom,SS86, Legacy, Evo, UNI) since they even released a Hound figure smh
Based on vintage E-Hobby Detritus. He is a redeco of Siege Hound, he is made of Melanin (skin color) plastic, her hips, missile and her gun are made of gold plastic, and her arms are shaded dark red plastic.
The vehicle mode of original Detritus and Hound toy was a Mitsubishi J59 Jeep and the second picture you showed is a Volkswagen Kubelwagen was used by german army during World War 2.
That is a very odd shade of not quite green and not quite gold on this good chap. I hope that Buzzworthy release still shows up as it is supposed to have the Cartoon deco Cliffjumper in the case as a repack and I still don't have that darn thing either.
Perhaps a sensible alternative would be to have an actual WFC-T Mercenary logo on him somewhere too. The main reason I want him is he's an Arms Dealer based on the Planet of Junk and so is an unofficial Junkion of sorts too.
I think this one is the short wheel Base US type Jeep, (not that different to the Bumblebee Movie one) but the G1 mould is a Mitsubishi -J59 instead which has a longer wheelbase for mounting a gun and a slightly different grill and other details (like the wing mirrors). I think it's a reasonable approximation considering it's licence free.
Though one has to wonder… "why didn't they just use the JP Jeep mould instead ?"
I have to say I like it. I really appreciate that they made the wheels more narrow for once since the original Siege version could not stand up straight because of the thick wheels getting in the way. The back in robot mode looks a bit hollow, tho. Still, I'm looking forward to getting Detritus and the new Earth-mode Hound whenever that finally materializes.
Maybe model some chairs

Bloody repaint back to hound the mold better then that siege one of him
That gappy shouldercanon is ugly. I hope the Hound 86 gets at least a not gappy shouldercanon!
I'll be honest, I'm excited for this figure. I'm not sure exactly why, but the colors bring me back to the G1 figures.
'Treasure!'
(Referring to the review proper.) Meanwhile, the toy brands itself for what it really is! 😂
i can’t wait for hound, think the mold looks great just not in those colours
Now I kind of regret not buying siege Hound, hope the Hound earth mode turns out better.
LOL! Just release Hound already!
Detritus looks cool. I only wish he had the mercenary symbol instead of the Autobot and Decepitcon symbols on his jeep hood and shoulder.
I hate the color 😅
He isn't very bright. Doubledealer was smart enough to have decal flaps when switching allegiance.
How is it that Hasbro released this guy before SS-86 Hound?
We get this before Hound….figures Hasbro!
Bahh thats just Swindle up to his old tricks again i see
????

Release earth mode hound already.😐
Great review Chefatron!! As great looking at Detritus is, I'm still waiting for the Earth-mode Hound version of this mold. Keep on being amazing.
The opening comparison shots are great. Something about this deco looks kinda cheap – love it 🙃
Mercenaries are both pitching and catching!
I know that it's the cab in vehicle mode, but that hollow lower back in robot mode is killing me. Still kinda want this guy and the inevitable Hound soon to come.
Hasbro need a Studio Series 86 Hound and Sunstreaker, for the Upcoming Buzzworthy Bumblebee Exclusive.
Not autobot hound
Welp cant wait for SS hound
Some people got stuck into the magic mushrooms over in the Legacy Hasbro team ! Just flippin give us Hound already!
I seriously want earthmode Hound A.K.A. Studio Series ’86 Hound rather than Detritus
So they released the repaint of the ss 86 Hound ahead of Hound itself?

Ha, ha. You nailed it with the carmode. I'm just getting the previous wave next week. They are fast in your part of the world. (but expensive).
The holes in the legs bug me. I might just hang onto my henkei Hound.

It does look cheap. I don't think I will double dip. I'll wait for the Hound figure. I think the old Henkei Hound will be my Hound.
For a heavy retool of Siege Hound,
I think it looks off & very lazy. I rather wait for Hound & I'm skipping this one.
nah that aint gold, it look like yellowed plastic, everythng is flat in term of detail. literally look like u can find him in a random junk store
Can't wait for the obvious SS86 Hound
mocha cake transformer lmao.

He looks like junk, no that isn't a Junkion compliment. Terrible missed opportunity to get a Hound. No way they will improve it for the Hound release.
The mold they use for the new jurassic park x over jp12 is literally the perfect hound and much more accurate in both modes than this one. Why??
I just need earthmode hound. I actually kinda wish nonnef made a window upgrade to the siege version after looking at this
