Unless you purchase Assembly Data or sold/traded your parts at the Shop, loading your Assembly Data will instantly rebuild the saved HOUND in the Garage. To rename the data, select Change HOUND Name from the top menu of the Garage. SHOP Acquire new HOUND parts, complete HOUNDs, color patterns, special parts, or sell parts at the Shop from the Garage in Xbox Live.

Purchasing the items will require money (Funds) you earned from the Neroimus War and Individual Missions. Another way to increase your income is to sell your unwanted parts at the Shop. Complete HOUNDs are also available at the Shop, but please note that the parts required to complete the HOUND must be purchased separately if you do not already have them in your inventory. The decorative items can be layered (on top of one another) by bringing the element forward and backward using the decal slots. EDIT HOUND NO.
