A G1 Hound TF oddity

[jimsupreme]

I was going through my stuff to sell and I found my old G1 hound & completely forgot he had strange orange legs...he has always been this way and i've never understood why i'm pretty sure it wasn't repainted but... who knows..

here's the weirdness to see yourself!

[miasboytoy]

did you buy this as a kid brand new or was it second hand? thats odd.

[jimsupreme]

got him second hand but, I checked it and it has no green under the opange sooo I have no clue...

[Nocturn]

KO?

[jimsupreme]

nope. has hasbro/ takara markings

What the f..............

All versions of Hound (and his minor variants) and I have never seen an orange rear end (feet). It's odd cause even if you mixed parts with say "Detritus", it's still only light brown feet and not orange........ not to mention the ware on his feet are legit and rusted.

On top of that it's not the Diaclone J59 Jeep-Robo. Which pretty much was Hound in similar green tones.

You said it also says Hasbro/Takara so it's also a post 1984-85 mold........

My final guess? A KO from yester-year. Something of higher quality from the 80s with a twist on the paint job.

can you put a pic of him in vehicle mode (from the side)

[jimsupreme]

here is Hound from the side and the TM info







sorry for the blurryness but, the Takara/hasbro stuff is there...

[pulsedragon20]

so you're selling him now on eBay...might think about it since it's odd

[jimsupreme]

i'm pretty much selling all the TF's I own....aside from a few personal faves....
