And this is the #1 reason I used Hound with the main cast of
this story. When I saw that Hound was getting an updated toy I knew he would
get an upgrade in the comic in some shape or form, even if Cliffjumper and Hot
Shot didn’t. In fact, for a time I even considered taking Hound out of the
commentary trio and adding him into the main cast permanently. I had plenty of
time to think about it since there was a good six months or so between the time
they announced the new Hound toy and when it was actually released, but it was
one of the decisions I wrestled with for a really long time. I eventually
decided removing Hound from the bookend panel would be far too big a shakeup
and it would never feel right to me. However, I still wanted Optimus to offer
Hound the job. Turning it down seemed like the thing Hound would do anyway so
it worked out great overall.
I tried explaining the lag time between the events in
the actual story and the commentary panel here, but even then it didn’t work
very well since Cliffjumper interrupted the main comic just a few panels
earlier.
