In-Hand Images: Transformers Generations Deluxe Hoist

Looks good. Glad i have him on pre-order. Just might have to do something about some of what i think are unnecessary 5mm ports.

^The photos look over-exposed, so I think he's not that bright.

I originally wasn't going to pick him up, but he's too cool not to. I really enjoy his tow hook gun. What I don't enjoy is the complete lack of paint on the back of the vehicle. But at least the wheels are painted so I suppose Hasbro has to make sacrifices somewhere.

I really like this mold, as Hoist and as Trailcutter(breaker). The only downside I have about this figure is that the Autobot faction symbol disappears into his chest in robot mode. I wish they could've come up with a way for it to remain "topside" in robot mode. Personally it should work the other way around, where there isn't a faction symbol seen in vehicle mode (they are Robots in Disguise, after all), but after transforming, the faction symbol is revealed in robot mode.

Good point! Hmm, I suppose reprolabels must come to the rescue. Now to find a good spot for a faction symbol in bot mode...

Looks great. A little too lime green for my taste but whateves....it still works.

I excited for this figure more than Trailbreaker.
