Killed by a cosmically powered Starscream
Did I miss something? Why is everyone suddenly making a meme out of Cosmically-Empowered Starscream killing everyone?
reynaldi Pangestu
Also because Cosmically-Empowered Starscream killed a *lot* of bots in the Underbase saga.
Not Optimus and a few others
Now I’m imagining a cosmically powered starscream all alone after killing everyone
@@harrybechtle4333 unfortunately, Starscream would lose control of his power and disintegrate, making him the final victim of a cosmically powered Starscream
When you remember that Starscream was so dumb that he fell for Hounds holograms in 3 episodes in a row.
OH THATS WHY STARSCREAM KILLED HIM
Megatron: your either lying or your lying or you're stupid
Statscream: I'm stupid, I'm stupid
Don’t disrespect Hound’s skills.
Viewtiful Roy
Megatron: oh I know, I just wanted to hear you say it
@@remytron83I still think Hound's a clever Jeep for that.
Chris: Says he was killed by an evil Optimus
Me: wow he wasn’t killed by a cosmic star scream
Chris: but he is brought back to be killed by a cosmic power star scream
Me: COME ON!!!
basically anyone killed by a Cosmic powered Starscream is basically expected and part of the meme at this point
"COME ON!!!" lol my exact reaction. Poor hound :P
Cosmic powered starscream is the marvel comics version of transformers the movie
My exact thoughts
What's next? Starscream killed by a cosmically powered starscream
To me, Bayverse Hound always felt like an amalgamation of Hound (name, military vehicle), Kup (grizzled old warrior), and Bulkhead (size and figure)
Agreed. Bayverse ver. reminded me always about bulkhead.
the bayverse, where subtly goes to dies in flames and explosions.
Character: *exists*
A cosmically empowered starscream: I'm about to end this mans whole career
Autobots and decepticons: *chuckles* We’re in danger
I read that in tom kenny's voice
Okay. Classic hound is one of the most wholesome dudes I've ever scene and he's always been a character I wish I coyld hang with. But I will say John Goodman Hound is the best movie transformers we got. He's just awesome
[sigh]
@@metimoteo If you don't like Bayverse stuff don't sulk and preach about the "Sacred Timeline" nonsense on multiple Comment Threads.
*Yes, I've seen them.*
@@kaidothedrunkard I like both G1 and Movie Hound, I wish they named movie version bulkhead instead since he was clearly envisioned as more like him
@@-.patty.- nope he's brawn both have fat ass design and love to jump into fights
The G1 Hound was a wholesome boi then over there Goodman Hound is ripping face out and being a fat ballerina.
Hound G1: Hound the explorer
Hound Bayverse: Hound the fat ballerina
Michael Bay is a bad man.
Hound has changed.
Or at least he did until Michael Bay said goodbye to transformers.
Hound Bayverse was actually the real Ironhide that looked like Hound
LMAO
@@user-hc9qv9yb9m Hound: You thought I was Hound, (takes off the armor) But it was I Ironhide!
Always wondered where he went after the pilot. Still I think Cosmic powered Starscream might be close to unicron's kill count.
True
Actually cosmically powered starscream has probably killed more
Depends on how many you count, really. If you add up all the Starscream casualties from that one issue, you get 55 characters (not counting dead combiners). The UK comic adds another seven. And that's not counting the characters who never appeared after that issue and might have died offscreen.
I'm not sure if you added up every named character killed by Unicron, it would equal that number.
@@misterbadguy7325 so confirmed kills:62
Unicron confirmed kills???
@@themostbritishpersonalive868 Someone crazier than me could probably run up that tally. But the most named characters Unicron ever wiped out in a single story was around seventeen, in On The Edge of Extinction.
I really need to know about cosmically powered Starscream and his staggering kill count
You don't really want to know...you just THINK you do. One of the WORST Marvel/Hasbro cop out storylines EVER, all in an effort to eliminate existing characters from (then) current lines (just like the '86 movie), to make room for the new toyline characters... Even though the series ended shortly thereafter with issue 80.
There was REALLY no justifiable reason to kill all of those characters off. Would have been very simple to phase them out, or push them back into support/background roles, and bring in the new guys for the main gig, BUT they were STUPID about it and so they wasted all of those characters for no real reason at all, other than to "sell" how powerful cosmic powered Starscream was wielding the power of the UNDERBASE... (Really?!) Smh.
That being said, if you're interested in an Underbase powered Starscream figure... Pick up the SIEGE Starscream and you'll have him....except the figure has a MUCH better face, but is not a cosmically oversized Titan class version...
A lot of Autobots, and also himself.
Somebody made a compilation of every time chris mcfeely said “killed by a cosmically powered star scream”
Matrix Animations transformers animated season 4 made that video
Looks like a job for James a jannes
the irony that G1 Hound's role was meant to be the OG Bumblebee and later in The Last Knight Bumblebee is a green military vehicle during WW2.
In g1 nothing took place in ww2...and G1 and bayverse are not connected...I have no idea what you are saying
@@liljdm5374 um, where did i say G1 and the Bayverse are 'connected'? i knew the G1 universe and the live action universe are not related, what i meant is G1 Hound and Bumblebee is a parallel to the Bayverse versions Hound and Bumblebee, the latter's case their roles seem to reference each other.
@@vustvaleo8068 mmmm? What? So you're saying the roles are the same? Or similar? I don't know because they aren't that similar...
@@liljdm5374 G1 Hound was meant to be the young kid appeal character in the pilot episodes but that role was instead given to Bumblebee probably because a yellow Volkswagen Beetle fits a kid appeal character better than a green military jeep which ironically Bumblebee in The Last Knight also turns into green military vehicle during WW2, which to me is like call back to the G1 pilot episodes of Hound's character in terms of design.
Lol what
Will it be Optimus clone or Cosmic Starscream that kills him? Oh, it's both!
Poor guy
Bayverse Hound is one of the very few movies versions I enjoy. His massive solo fight scene against the KSI horde was impressively choreographed, and was super fun to watch. (Considering it was a fight scene where we knew was was happening...)
The Bayverse is a poor alternate reality version of Transformers. It bears only a tangential relationship to the sacred timeline Transformers.
@@metimoteo I wouldn't say that...
Literal millions of us were introduced to the Transformers franchise via the Bayverse movies. Me included. And besides, acting like they're not part of it is a tad disrespectful.
Gatekeeping is not something we do in the Transformers community, you know. It's either you keep your petty-ass opinions to yourself, or you get the boot.
@@metimoteo Good thing "alternate reality" isn't a new concept to Transformers
@@metimoteo Ever heard of something called *"seperate continuities"?*
@@metimoteo Nah, bayverse is is better than G1
He’s also the very first Autobot to have a military vehicle as an alt mode.
no he isn't...brawn was the first..his alt mode is a British army long wheelbase land rover defender (land rover 110).

Though the Bay movies are disliked by most, I do personally have a soft spot for their own version of Hound. I mean, come on, he's voiced by John Goodman. You can't go wrong with the Goodman! 😄 I'll always admire his hologram projecting G1 self as well, though, of course. ☺
true
I like the first three movies, but for me, AOE is terrible. That being said, I just love movie verse Hound. Because I agree that we can't go wrong with John Goodman.
@@DavidHutchinson0713 Yeah, if anything, he's definitely one of the stronger points of that film. ^^
I didn't have a issue with the way Hound was protrayed in the live action. At least he wasn't killed off at the end of the movie like Jazz was.
@@pontiacfan76 Oh, I couldn't agree more. I'd be really sad if he was.
It's good to see Hound despite not getting much screen time through the years manage to have a long lasting impact, from a character fascinated with earth to a robot version of Walter Sobchak.
Call me crazy, but... I think I kinda have fun with Movie-verse Hound, despite being so different from the original. But I think this video also brought to light that despite his importance in the original pilot, he's really done very little of impact since then. Might be why I'm so entertained with him in the movies, as superficial as it sounds.
I really like him in the movies. John Goodman is just always a good time. The scene in AoE where he just keeps pulling out new guns is one of my favourites
@@EvilLobsterKing he was packing a lot of guns and made very good use of them
I will say this, how come none of the ammo he clearly displays on his shoulders exploded. He has actual rockets on his arms TLK.
COSMICALLY POWERED STARSCREAM!! Time to take a shot

Shocking pika99 - That should have been Bulkhead, not Hound
Chris: “...he was taken offline by injuries sustained battling a Decepticon controlled copy of Optimus Prime.”
Me: oh, so not by a cosmically-powered Starscream?
Chris: “Then brought back to life, just long enough to be killed AGAIN by a cosmically-powered Starscream.”
Me: ah, there it is.
XD
I think it's adorable that his original profile says he secretly wishes he was human. That's something unique that writers should play up more.
I feel like Movie Hound was in all likelihood Bulkhead renamed. His design and alt mode were definitely more representative of this. And there were a few references here and there, particularly having Izabel sitting on his shoulder similar to both Suri and Miko. Thar said his personality was more representative of Walter from Big Lebowski, also played by John Goodman. And there were several lines carried over from the movie as well as bickering with Daytraider played by the same actor that played Donny in Big Lebowski.
For having such a cool power (that intimidated even Devastator), he gets the short stick in every animated incarnation. I do like the AOE version, mostly for one thing: GUNS!
I think probably because it's so overpowered of an ability.
I honestly love hound. He's amazing
Production team:Ok mr bay which character do you want for the next movie
Michael bay: give me someone that have military motive

Ah Hound. My first Transformer ever. He holds a special place in my heart.
I've always had a softspot for the G1 version of Hound, but, I also love the Bayverse Edtion of Hound, too.
Alternators Hound was one of my favorites of the line. He was perfect.
Hound was one of my favorites! He's the Autobot's scout so I always imagined he'd be away, "out in the field" relentlessly searching for Decepticon activity and a very adept warrior as well.
Wow I did not expect this. Good video!
(also movie hound is totally movie bulkhead)
It's a worse mis-naming than Blitzwing in the Bumblebee movie
@@BenDaresAll Ramjet would not be a bad idea. good call!
@@davidprevost3154 Ramjet did not appear in the 2007 movie proper but in the Reign-Of-Starscream comic that happens after the 2007 movie
I really miss g1 hound and his characteristics . Glad to see he’s being brought back into action with his classics look .
Have you thought about updating the Spotlight on the IDW comics universe? By the way, love your accent when saying Hound. :)
Hound was the 1st Transformer I bought back during G1 and he was the 1st for the new siege line which has been blowing me away with what has been coming out for the toy line
*Insert gif of Hound and Spike here*
That one......where hound is at the back and spike at the front......
Ну как, Спайк, двигатель уже работает?
I always liked Hound. Crazy how they put the flip on him from the Pilot to the Main G1 series.
My favorite has to be Siege, that was my first figure from the line and man is he cool.
Love G1 HOUND! Thank you for this vid!
Hound was the very 1st Transformer I owned. My parents were poor, so I got Gobots instead of Transformers. However, one year right after Christmas, my mom and I were in a long line at the Department store to exchange a duplicate Gobot I got as a gift. The lady in front of us was there to exchange a duplicate Hound her son had gotten. They got to talking and agreed to simply trade toys rather than wait in that absurdly long line. To this day Hound is still one of my favorite Autobots.
You know, as much as idrc for the live-action movies, even I kinda love the Age of Extinction Hound. Especially with the "you're just too disturbing to live" line, that's easily one of the best parts of that film.
Favorite Hound toy is the universe line version. Favorite character iteration? I only have experience with AoE and IDW versions, so I'll say IDW wins out
The new siege hound is just as good if not better in my opinion, plus his robot mode is super g1 looking.
@@LIBERTYorD34TH fair play. If I ever see it I'll pick it up
@@AtticusTsaiMcCarthy got mine at target i think, in my area the walmarts never have crap, so i go with target 9/10 times.
Love the Universe one, but that Siege toy does look very tempting..
@@trence5 plus lets be honest, the siege one will be a lot easier on your wallet.
Can you make an episode about the aerialbots please.
I honestly kind of had a headcanon explanation for bayverse hound. After the decpticons got duped a few to many times by his holograms, they just stopped caring. They would throw some cannon fodder at the suspected trick, and if it was real all they lost was some dingey drone. If it was fake, they proceded to try and hunt down hound, which led to him carrying a few different guns around just because how much they hated him. And after governments of the world went full genocidal against the cybertronions, he stopped exploring out out of necessity. These two factors started to feed into eachother and eventually led to the fat, armory toting military truck of the movie.
I think Age of Extinction Hound should have been Bulkhead, or at least redesigned enough to be Kup given the cigar...
To be honest, I don't think he matches that well with Bulkhead either, who's more of a gentle giant, though he's still closer. I actually like the idea of him being Kup, though...
Nah kup doesn’t smoke...
@@yourspentmoney6418 Not _exactly,_ no, but... tfwiki.net/wiki/Cy-gar
@@Brickerbrack Animated/ Prime Bulkhead, sure, but Energon Bulkhead fits it absolutely.
And lets be honest, it's clearly the intention behind the design anyways. For almost all of the movie bots the designs do actually come from some part of the franchise.
G1 Hound: master of holograms
Bayverse Hound: heavy weapons guy
*TF2 Meet The Team music plays*
I was about to pause the video and comment when Marvel Comics Hound was offlined and it was not by the cosmically powered Starscream...only then to see that he was the second time. The Basics own little drinking game continues. It sure will be a sad day for the Basics when there will no longer be a need to talk about the cosmically powered Starscream.
I can't understand how you've gone this long without doing a Megatron basics episode
I love Hound, both for his hologram powers and being the only military Autobot vehicle in first G1 Season. His new *SIEGE* figure is one of my favorites from the line.
THE HOUNDS IN TOWN.
Love startng the day off with a gunfight
Sorry im late
My invitation to this asskicking must've got lost in the mail
Lmao!
Hound had a couple of good scenes in Target: 2006 with Ultra Magnus.
I think almost every video about a G1 character you say “ killed off by a cosmically powered Starscream” 😆
This was the first one I ever got. My brother got it for me when he came back from AF basic training.

When I first saw a Transformers Age of Extinction, Hound’s voice sounded so familiar that it drove me crazy. It wasn’t until the parts were he and the other Autobots hijack part of Lockdown’s ship to rescue Optimus that I realized that Hound was being voiced by John Goodman.
Y'know, when I die, I'd like to go out not on my own terms, but instead on a cosmically powered Starscream's terms
I'm so glad you did a video on Hound! He's become my unexpected favorite so I hope he does get another major role sometime soon
Hound, one of the many Autobots that deserve more attention and appreciation
3:18 While in the comic, he was taken offline by the cosmically powered starscream”

The AoE Hound feels like more of a Bulkhead
Surprised the "caption this" image of Hound rubbing Spike's back wasn't mentioned.
Loving these videos, keep them up! Could you also do:
Drift/Deadlock
Crosshairs
Mirage
Barricade
Ratchet
The Outlier Cybertronians (basically the X-men of Transformers)
I've been asking to do basics of Crosshairs and Mirage as well.
Great video Bro. Can You do a SERIOUS video on Sunstreaker and Sideswipe PLEASE?
The Hound in the movies was inspired by Bulkhead
He basically is Bulkhead.
Design wise, yes in terms of his more popular depiction.
Character wise he fits more with the Energon depiction.
Which, interestingly, was originally supposed to be springer.
And in the movie there is an Autobot triple changer with a helicopter and a car as their alternate modes
The layers give lasagna a run for it's money.
And, seriously, this many references is pretty much proof that there was care put into the movies.
Basics on Thundercracker, please
You should do an episode about Starscream (make sure to talk about when he was cosmicly powered)
The 2014 hound should of been named bulkhead.
It makes a lot of sense
maybe, but still...
G1 Hound was cool! I actually learn holograms because of him! I have the combiner wars one! But the war or cybertron one looks awesome!!
You could have mentioned that (the second) live-action movie Hound is actually an homage to Bulkhead just with Hound's name slapped onto him. I guess because Hound is way more popular.
I’d Argue Bulkhead is way more popular and it was his popularity especially with Children was what made Hasbro change the name to Hound in the movies. They probably didn’t want kids to see Bulkhead swearing and threatening to shoot allies. Although this is purely my theory on what happened.
Finnaly my boi hound getting some love!
Could you maybe do one on Sky-Byte or Waspinator?
I would love to see the basics on Trypticon
I don’t like Age of Extinction or The Last Knight, but the Autobot cast in those films was one of the best parts about them.
The dynamic between Hound, Bee, Crosshairs, and Drift was really fun to watch. It’s a shame they didn’t get a ton to do in The Last Knight.
in IDW, Hound was a part of the "Primal Vanguard" which I guess was a cross between autobot "superheroes" and a non Suicide Squad (read; Wreckers) special forces unit. He was voiced by Ken Sansom in the original series (who died in 2012 RIP)
The late Ken Sansom was best known as the voice of Rabbit in Winnie the Pooh.
"Taken offline by a--"

@@shadowclaw7210 No. . . I just happened to be drinking while watching this one, and needed to numb the comsmically-powered pain.
Love you Chris, Love this series!
When I first saw hound in age of extinction I originally thought he was bulkhead because of how similar he looked to animated and prime bulkhead at least to me
I remember getting the original Hound toy in the mid 80s from Makro here in the UK. I was very young but I have the distinct memory of my dad being amazed at how I could instinctively transform the toy. Those original, plastic and die cast toys were brilliant (if not very tough). In the end Hound, Inferno, Jazz, Sunstreaker, Prime, Starscream and Megatron all ‘fell in battle’ (sniff!). Happily Bumblebee, Seaspray, Grimlock, Ratchet and Mirage survived in order to be passed on to my little boy 30 years later (actually I’m waiting with the last two, not sure they would survive!) Most of my ‘85 and ‘86 transformers onwards are still going strong today with him.
I'm a human and secretly wish I was an immortal robot.
Hey Chris Mcfeely. Could you do a video on the basics on Thundercracker?
I wanted to request this on pateron so yeahh im glad this came out
Yay can we get the rest of the g1 ark crew now 😂
I actually prefer Hound to Bee and wish he'd have stayed the kid-appeal character. However, this begs the question: had this happened, would've future Kid-Appeal characters still be yellow or green instead?
PS: Basics on Deathsaurus?
So June I gonna have some huge episodes
I’m betting on
Starscream
A combiner team
One of chris’ Favorite transformers
Or a show
If you want comment your bets
So there's a beardless photo of Hound's head from AOE and it's the most terrifying shit I've ever seen
Getting to see the filming vehicle for him at EAA makes Hound hold a special place in my heart. That the vehicle's manufacturer lives next door to EAA made it even better. Plus, DAKKA.
Hound also killed his brother when he pushed him off a castle :P

Hound's one of those 'soft spot' characters for me. Never a favourite but his awkward, gangly design and peaceable personality always make me smile.
