30th Generation Hoist

20140518_093740

30th Generation - I have reviewed the legend class Hoist before (Click Here). Now after more than a year; Hasbro released the 30th Generation Hoist. It looks really amazing and I really love it very much. I won't say much but here is a review of Hoist

Bio

When an Autobot is seriously damaged in the field he goes to Autobot Ratchet, but for everyday aches and pains, Hoist is the most trusted guy around. There's no strut or spar Hoist can't fix, and no malady so baffling that he can't diagnose it. He supplements his vast knowledge with an easy bedside manner that makes him well liked by his fellow Autobots and universally acknowledged as the expert on everything from wrist rust to scraplets.

I have reviewed Trailcutter before; so I won't bother to review the same thing as both have the same mold. The only differences was its color, livery and the hook mechanism (I really do not know what it is called). It looks is so faithful to the G1 Hoist.

Although the similarity to the G1; the updated version has a lot of things missing such as those wings at his back. Fortunately, 3rd party companies has created an add-on that will make him looks like G1. Not much of a changes (you can refer to my post on Trailcutter); except that his hook mechanism can be transformed into a gun. He has a facemask and his headsculpt is so faithful to his G1.

Conclusion

Takara has also released another version of Hoist. It has a dark green and a blue visor compared to the Hasbro yellow visor and light green color. I am not very choosy on which version should I get but I do love the Hasbro version due to its IDW comic books that came with it. But if you have a lot of cash; I would suggest you to get both. But to me the Hasbro version is enough.

Conclusion

CW Powerglide

Combiner Wars - Finally a better looking Powerglide. I can't afford to buy the Classic 2.0 Powerglide; so this would be quite a nice value for your money. Basically, Powerglide is one of the G1 mini-bot (and how I wish that Beachcomber and Seaspray would be redesign). When Hasbro announce Powerglide as a legend class Combiner Wars figure; I was really excited. The new figure is the best looking Powerglide known and identical to his animation counterpart. And the best part; he transform himself into a powerful blaster for the combiners. Here is my review of him.

AoE Evolution Pack - Optimus Prime

Age of Extinction - Sorry for the late update. Been busy with life and collecting some masterpiece along the way. This double pack caught my eyes because of the classic/henkei mold. I already have the AoE Evasion Optimus (but never did review it); so here is my chance to review it all at once.

Fall of Cybertron Kickback

Fall of Cybertron - My first insecticon after all these years. Although; there were third party company who produced not-Kickback, I was never interested to get one due to a lot of fact. Personally, third parties are expensive and they came in limited amount. But when Hasbro announced Kickback figure in conjunction with the release of Fall of Cybertron video games; I was amaze on the product picture. In the promo picture; Kickback definitely a must buy in my book. Here is a review of this figure.
