This might be the wrong thread, but also on the Metroplex box is a green robot that looks like the Trailbreaker mold....people are saying that it is Hoist, but I don't know, it doesn't seem like Hoist to me. It looks like he doesn't have a mouth plate like G1?
Does IDW Hoist design look different? Or did Hoist show up in IDW?
Or could it be someone else?

Yeah, it's Hoist. The new Spotlight kinda confirms it. Guns match too!

It would be kinda cool to see more Osprey-like vehicles. All we have (if I remember correctly) is Obsidian from Beast Machines, Incinerator from the first movie, and Legends Springer from Revenge of the Fallen.

Armada Makeshift and all his redecos.
And Springer's redecos Blades and Duststorm.

Don't forget G1 Highbrow, even if his rotors didn't rotate down.
Any reports on changes to the armored car?
Top 5 Priorities:
1) BW Neo X-7 Elphaorpha
2) BW II VS-18 Powerhug vs. Autocrusher
3) Universe 2003 Night Slash Cheetor
4) RiD Landfill (regular, not the yellow)
5) BW Convobat (red) & Megalligator (purple)
Also looking for any clear Arms Microns, like Shadow (Gora & R.A.), Hellflame and Shining (O.P. and R.A.).

Im glad he gets a new head sculpt but Im not digging the VOTL crap. I felt the springer copter mode was more Sandstorm than it was springer. Are the wings and helicopter blades from Springer interchangable ? I not shipping my POL for a while. If the colors dont look too off, I might consider sacrificing my springer to make a more G1 accurate Sandstorm. I already have Defender which is better scale wise.

Yes. It's a retooled Springer.
We've known this for a pretty long while.
