01:56And here's Bot Shots Hound in assault mode. Now, I don't know why, but apparently when there's already a Ratchet
02:02in the line, you gotta repaint Ironhide green.
02:05I mean, Transformers Prime knows that better than anybody.
02:08Seriously, what's with the Ironhide repaints going into green?
02:11And the odd thing is that none of these green Ironhide repaints are the same character.
02:17The previous one was Cup, and now we got Hound.
02:19Granted, it kind of makes sense because Cup is already in the Bot Shots line, so why have two Cups?
02:26Then again, count how many Bumblebees are in the Bot Shots line.
02:29Now, I'm not really the biggest fan of Bot Shots. In fact, my reaction isn't pretty much like everyone else,
02:37which seems to be this.
02:38Oh, a Bot Shot! Oh, where's the Deluxe and Voyagers?
02:42Now, my reaction is more like this.
02:53Still, I didn't hate them. I thought they were nifty, but I didn't really have a reason to go out
02:58and buy them.
02:59In any case, this is Bot Shots. What is it? Bot Shots.
03:04Oh yeah, Bot Shots Blitz Shot Hound.
03:07Oh no, Bot Shots Blitz...
03:10That's hard to say.
03:11Bot Shots Blitz Shot Autobot Hound.
03:15Gotta remember that Autobot.
03:17Hey, one knows the Sky Stalker? Probably not gonna get a retail release, but will rise through the realm of
03:24the eBay.
03:25If you can't already tell by looking at the stocks, I think they're trying to get rid of the Bot
03:30Shots everywhere.
03:31Considering the fact that these were $5, they were on clearance, it's like they're trying to get rid of the
03:37rest of the Bot Shots that they have in stock.
03:40But I got a nice Bot Shots Hound for like $5, so that's not bad.
03:44In regards to that, let's actually take a look at the toy and stop rambling.
03:48That was a nice little homage to Hound.
03:51It actually has the little star on the top there of the hood, and that's actually an homage to G1.
03:58Very happy that he has that little, little touch to G1.
04:02You can just smell nostalgia on this thing.
04:05And it smells like McDonald's.
04:09And vanilla.
04:10It's got a gold window, which, alright, I don't know why the sides weren't painted, but it's okay.
04:16It's got a nice silver front.
04:18Oh my god, look at that paint scheme.
04:20Some nice gray tires, they're not exactly black, but they kind of look like they've been worn out.
04:26Even though it's an Ironhide repaint, it does look like an army vehicle, but the spoiler kind of kills it.
04:33But you kind of see why when it actually comes to transformation for this guy.
04:37It's even got a pin detail right there.
04:40Oh, wow.
04:42Yeah.
04:43It's actually got a couple of door handles on the side, I didn't even realize that.
04:47Also, just today, I also realized that it actually has smokestacks on the side.
04:52They're not painted, but it's great that it's molted in.
04:56Granted, it is an Ironhide repaint, and I believe it was based on the movie Ironhide.
05:01Still a cool little touch for this guy.
05:04You gotta remember that not everything's going to be an homage to the Jeep that was Hound.
05:09Because, of course, this is an Ironhide repaint to look like Hound.
05:13For what it's worth, I think it's okay, it looks cool.
05:17Let's get to the transformation.
05:22And now it's time for Super Super Series!
06:04And watch the magic happen.
06:17Oh, really, so it just does it in my hand.
06:20Okay, no, no, you're gonna do it now.
06:24There we go.
06:26As you can see, he didn't really stand up, but I think it's just because of the floor,
06:32so robot mode!
06:36So as you can see, robot mode has a lot of nice little bits and details that, oh my gosh,
06:43it's like an orgy of parts.
06:45He's got the little gears on the chest that actually look pretty cool.
06:49He's got some gold-painted bits which look better when you get it in hand.
06:53He does have a huge backpack, but at least it's not Dark of the Moon Human Alliance Skids.
06:59Or, you know, Revenge of the Fallen Human Alliance Skids, whatever you wanna call it.
07:03He's got a hole at the bottom like he's supposed to plug into something, but it didn't come
07:09with the base.
07:09He's got the little game piece in the middle of its chest, so you can take a look at that.
07:15Some nice, beautiful blue eyes.
07:24And, of course, who can forget the initial Bot Shots flippers.
07:28I transformed him back into alt mode, so that we can get a fair Bot Shots fight.
07:34My two-comments!
07:37Nice.
07:38They both transformed.
07:39They didn't really stand up, but they both transformed, and I've got them on blaster.
07:44That's how they were packaged.
07:45Deal with it.
07:46He's got some molded-in fists, which don't look that bad.
07:49The tires kind of hang out to the side, but you understand when it, even though it doesn't
07:55really have a lot of major engineering, you do kind of understand that this is just a
08:00little toy.
08:01It's supposed to be a game piece.
08:03My only real complaint is that the head is hollow, and it just looks too Ironhide to me.
08:08PUNK ASS DESCEPTACON!
08:10I mean, every time I see this, it's just a green repaint of Ironhide.
08:15The only thing that really makes it Hound is the star on the top of the hood.
08:24What is kind of unfortunate is, compared to Scourge, Hound is a lot harder to transform.
08:30I don't know if it's just the molding, I don't know if it's just mine.
08:33It just seems a little bit harder, while this one seems way more easier.
08:38Still, though, whenever you get it to transform, the figure looks good, even if it is just
08:44a little game piece that you're supposed to play with.
08:46I mean, these bot shots, I thought they were going to be Takara exclusives, I mean, don't
08:50they just look like Takara-type figures?
08:54But no, apparently Hasbro got a hold of them, so I think they're kind of cool.
08:59They're a nifty little bunch, you don't really need to collect them, but I would recommend
09:04getting a few.
09:05Let's go to my overall review of this figure alone.
09:08BOT SHOT'S Hound!
09:25So anyways, well I highly recommend Bot Shot, Hound.
09:29He's not bad.
09:30He really isn't, for an Ironhide, er, yeah Ironhide repaint.
09:36I don't think it's that bad.
09:39I'm just not sure why it's repainted from Ironhide,
09:43but I guess it could be worse.
09:44So anyways, that is pretty much it.
09:47I am the Canadian reviewer.
09:49I'm going to eat some bacon.
10:30And I'm going to eat some bacon.
10:34And I'm going to eat some bacon.
