After recently watching the MTMTE again, i still find it confusing that hound's role was reduced in the main series. I mean, he was set up as the human relation character that ended up becoming bumblebee. In fact spike didn't even hang out with BB, sparkplug did, yet by transport to oblivion spike and bumbles are best mates, and poor old hound is barely seen again.

question is, why? why did they decide to change hound's role, seeing as he was pretty good in that respect, and it fit in with his tech specs too. bumblebee didn't need constant exposure did he?

Sadly, Hound's role was limited to 'Ooh we need a hologram, oi hound! Come ere ya bugger' although to be honest a teenager like spike is gonna be more likely to drive a beetle than a military jeep with a gun on it.

spike wasn't even old enough to drive! i seem to remember that a cop stops him at one point... anyway being in the jeep would be no problem cos hound could make a holo-driver!

anyway, i'm not sure that being a military jeep is enough reason to downgrade him so mauch...

yeah same as some Trailbreaker, Skids have limited role as well what I remember.. I like hound's holo driver style.. so spike not need drive only sparkplug.. and I wish Hound need more roles often each episodes as bumblebee does. thanks.

bah skyfire was treated very badly - he wakes up - he gets buried again - the autobots hold a memorial - bugger off home - need to go to peru - and dig him up to carry them there - and from then on hes a taxi

Probably because Bumblebee was so much cuter and kids liked him more. It's called a breakout character. Happens quite a lot.

I wonder if Prime was offended that Bumblebee was almost as big a star as he was....

I never saw the point of bringing bumbles back as Goldbug...

New toy, yeah, but different character profile, different car, and bumbles had effectively been written out of continuity due to lack of actually doing anything for ages. So why not just introduce a new character? Noone else got brought back with a different name. Well, not including rodimus prime and later on, soundwave and blaster.

Has Hound appeared in any other tf series? I dont recall seeing him away from g1. Or has hasbro lost the copyright to the name, in the same way they lost jazz and shockwave, (therefore having to rename them autobot jazz and shockblast, annoyingly)

i believe those parts arent from the takara headmasters but shots from what would have been series 4. Takara did a very good job with headmasters creating a good storyline. So what if they changed it somewhat - hasbro did it first
