Hoist is a repaint of Trailbreaker as he was in G1. While I prefer Trailbreaker over Hoist character wise, I'm leaning towards Hoist in toy form. This is largely due to the inclusion of a weapon and the big red Autobot symbol tampographed on the hood. The new included gun is a little large, but it's a nice addition. The gun fits snuggly in the hole on the top of the cab.
I believe this is one of my favorite Legends molds hands down. Hasbro could release this toy in every color found in the rainbow and I'd buy them all. If you missed out on Trailbreaker then do yourself a favor and head to Toys 'R Us and pick up this guy. Yeah $6 is a little steep for such a small basic Transformer, but that is the reality of today's collecting world.
Hoist is my favorite of the bunch. I love, LOVE his combat green and yellow. SO awesome.
ReplyDeleteI'd say I like the Hoist figure over Traibreaker. I sold off Trailbreaker because I wasn't really digging him. If I get Hoist, I'm sure that will not happen.
ReplyDeleteAlso, you'd probably be the best person to ask. Yesterday, I posted a review of a legends class Starscream that I found, but I was a bit confuse by it. Check it out, and let me know if you can offer some insight. Thanks!
