Hound is the name of several fictional characters from the Transformers franchise. He is sometimes referred to as Autobot Hound for trademark purposes.
The toy that was to become the Autobot Hound was originally released as part of the Japanese Diaclone series by Takara.
A first-generation Autobot, Hound (Destino in Aguascalientes, Dépisteur in Quebec and Canguro in Italy) was released into Transformers' first year - 1984 and was one of the smallest of the standard-sized Autobot cars. Hound's alternate mode is that of a 4X4 military jeep, and comes with three different weapons - a Missile Launcher, a Machine Gun and a Hologram Gun.
Hound is known for his love of the planet Earth, his tracking skills, and the ability to project highly realistic holograms. He secretly wishes to be human.
Hound also appeared in the Marvel Transformers comic, where his role was much the same as in the animated series. During the UK-only story Crisis of Command, Hound and Mirage combined their special abilities to capture the Decepticon spy, Ravage. Later, during the Target: 2006 story arc, a spy mission alongside Jazz went badly awry, resulting in the capture of Jazz. From then on, Hound was an outspoken critic of Jetfire's headstrong tactics against Galvatron. Later, in the full US/UK continuity, he was among the scores of Autobots deactivated by the Underbase-powered Starscream.
Hound's body was seen among the deactivated Autobots Ratchet was doing his best to revive in Transformers #56, "Back from the Dead".
However, he was resurrected at some point (presumably with Nucleon), as he appeared in the Transformers: Generation 2 comic as one of the few Transformers not dominated by the hate-inducing parasites. It is unknown if he survived the final battles against Jhiaxus and the Swarm.
