I'm not entirely certain that the Legacy Hound mold is going to be better than what we got back in 2009. Or, at least that's how I've been feeling based on what we've seen so far.

Same, actually. This is one of the releases that have aged the best.

Fortunately, there seem to be both ports and posts around the shoulder areas so mounting the launcher doesn't seem to be an issue.
Ayup, I rechecked our screencaps of the stream where they announced him and the display model does indeed have the rocket launcher up and level with the shoulders (as opposed to the stock image/render, which has it swiveled down and back to point up). I've gone back and edited that bit out of my post
I really wish there were one or two more accent colors on this thing, though, yikes.
That yellow/green plastic is doing that figure no favours whatsoever.
My favorite Classics toy and one that I don't plan on replacing anytime soon is the Jetfire mold. I know everyone wants him to be a giant, but at this size he is just right for the new scale seekers.
It just hit me. If Takara were to ever try sneaking that new Tow-Line into the background of some new JG1 manga, they could easily use it to represent a post-RobotMasters Wrecker Hook having finally gotten his memories back and rejoined his Autobot comrades.
(Still waiting for them to explain what happened that led to him losing his memories in the first place, though! Like, did Fire Convoy's team just abandon him or something? And he's still a Decepticon 31 years later during Metrowars, so what gives, Takara?)
I may display him with the rest of the Toxitron wave. Just a great vibrant look.

Apologies if I've posted this before, but if you have a spare blaster from any of the Cliffjumper mold figures, it makes a surprisingly decent looking handgun for Hound. Attaches well to the tab in the back.

Agreed. Not that I don't love the Ramjet mold, but we've had 4 of them now and not a single re-use of Thrust or Dirge.
The problem is that Ramjet was sort of the default "main" Conehead back in the day so they used his mould to test these decos on. So years later when Hasbro dredges these prototypes up they go "oh so it's a Ramjet repaint" and just run with it.
