30th Generation Hoist

30^th Generation - I have reviewed the legend class Hoist before (Click Here). Now after more than a year; Hasbro released the 30^th 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.

Vehicle Mode

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.

Robot Mode

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.
