4.0 out of 5 stars Hoist good for nostalgia, but flimsy workmanship, October 27, 2003

I have been an advid collector of the re-issues as they have been coming out and I have to say that Hoist is one of the worst as far as construction and workmaship goes. He just seems flimsy and not well put together. Definitely something you would not see from the Takara re-issues.

Overall he brings back that nostalgic feeling many of us had when we had these guys as kids but there are better constructed re-issues out there from Hasbro and more so from Takara.

Hoist is the tow truck of the classic autobots; tow attachment pulls off easily but is very durable and easily slips back in place. wings behind head fall off too easily though and hands / missle support posts are slightly smaller than the original so you cannot use the parts to complete a vintage display toy This one is great for collectors and pretty good as a toy for kids. the Die Cast metal is durable and well painted transforms easly and a kid can do it. Wish they would have included reproduction original type directions instead of current hasbro pictographs though

Similiar to the Autobot Trailbreaker, his tranformation is different from other. His built is heavy up top and skinny leg, but a lot more balance standing then Jazz or Silverstreak. Looks flimsy in the middle part. His finish is quite good. Come with interchangable hands and missile, doesn't shoot. I didn't like this charactor too much in the TV series, because he looks funny. Now I am quite in press with this toy.
