| Profile: Hound
would just as soon be sniffing around the Grand Canyon or Big Sur as he would a secret
Decepticon base. Perhaps more than any other Autobot, Hound takes pleasure in being
on Earth. Unlike his home planet, which is entirely composed of metal and machinery,
he finds the natural wonders of Earth endlessly fascinating, and uses his topographical
skills to store every sight he sees within his memory circuits. Hound's bravery,
fearlessness, and loyalty are unwavering, like any good advance scout.
But his
secret desire is to be human.
Abilities: While in his jeep mode, Hound uses his turret gun to sweep over the landscape from horizon to horizon, like a radar scope, and with the help of internal 3 dimensional simulation circuitry, stores this information as a topographical map. Error distortion is no more than one inch per 150 feet distance from point of data collection in robot mode, Hound's turret gun becomes an infrared radiation collector. It can detect heat differentials as small as .02 degrees Centigrade, and he uses this ability in tracking machines as well as humans. Hound's shoulder mounted hologram gun project 3 dimensional grid laser light images of terrain maps stored in his memory. He sometimes also can use it to cast simple illusions. Weaknesses: Hound's infrared tracking ability can be countered by thermal interference. High frequency electromagnetic waves can distort or completely destroy his map making ability. Sophisticated manipulation of such waves can even result in the recording of false images within his memory circuits. |

| Other Appearances: Amazing! can it be that the ever popular G1 character made NO other appearances in the Transformers Univedrse, until 2004? Well, if you're going to wait this long to make a comeback it might as well be in 2004 'Alternator' form! And yes, for the record, I do consider these alternators the same character in a albeit slightly different body form. |
