New Images of RotF Deluxe Hoist

As G1-homage-repaints go, that actually looks mighty fine!

I think the chest could do with a little more colour, rather than being just solid green, but otherwise a nice little toy.

I like it. Not many movie figs can pass as a Classic figure, but this one is close enough.

Very nice. Another to add to my list!

I really like that.. I will pick that one up indeed!

Nice! I have to agree with you guys about the lack of color on the torso, but nice nonetheless. Still going to unscrew the rifle from the right hand and peg it into his left hand when I get him, though.

Will get him but will touch up some things.

Yep, going on the Classics shelf.

Best part about that mold is that the alt mode is the first realistic 'normal' tow truck we've gotten to date. I've never seen a tow truck with that garbage on his back G1 Hoist has, for example.

Indeed he does. Thus, I shall get him for that purpose.

What about Slow Poke? http://www.tfu.info/1990/Autobot/SlowPoke/slowpoke.htm

I suppose the Machine Wars tow truck mold has a lot of junk on it's back too. Have there only been four Transfomrer tow truck molds in the series 25 year run?

Slow Poke isn't realistic at all. He's squished and superdeformed as much as (or more than) the 1984 Mini-bots, especially Cliffjumper. And the Machine Wars tow truck mold isn't bad, he's just not a "normal" tow truck - like Cybertron Armorhide, he's an over-the-road tow truck for hauling semis, not ordinary cars.
