Hound, the rugged Autobot warrior from Transformers: Age of Extinction, stood guard over the vulnerable human amidst the wreckage of battle. The air was thick with tension as Decepticons closed in, their metallic footsteps echoing.

Hound's cannons hummed to life, ready to defend his human ally. "Stay close," he grumbled, optics scanning for any sign of impending danger. The human felt an unusual mix of fear and reassurance, knowing that in this mechanized chaos, Hound was their protector.
