Hound is great for collectors, teenagers, and children age 9 and above. Ravage, likewise. Don't get this toy for younger children.
For collectors, Hound & Ravage is a must. Ravage fits into the Toys R Us reissue of Soundwave, with the extended cassette holder, but not in G1 Soundwave. Still, Ravage out-does his G1 counterpart on all but head sculpting and a lack of movable paws.
Hound's only true flaw for collectors and teenagers is that his Hologram Projector doesn't stick on his shoulder, but precariously rests there.

"...that's really how Hasbro gets us - we're all such suckers because, in the end, we love Transformers."
I don't get why you don't like animated for children, for the most part they are easy to transform and simple. I agree that they are not very durable.

I like this toy very much, in spite of its small issues.

You're silly.
Kids don't pose their transformers.
Unless they're reasonable kids and respect their toys.

Well, perhaps for young children the Classic universe line is not the best, but personally I love the line so for all the figures save for the first wave, Perhaps you should look in to the line more as a collector there great, and you are right transformers should have guns not axes. great review thanks for sharing.
