Rotf Hoist?

The Arker has posted new images of a Longarm repaint into what appears to be G1 Hoist.

That's awesome. However I am going to buy him and display him as Classics Hoist.

Before people say that the mold doesn't look G1, well the original toy didn't look that much 'G1' either as he has considerably different aesthetics as the other car autobots such as Jazz, Prowl and Sideswipe ;)

Hahaha! Long after countless customisers have already done so themselves! :D Good to see Hasbro taking tips from fans though. Kudos. :)

Long Arm is a decent mould and is ambiguous enough that he can fit in either the movie or Universe camp, with the right paint job and a little stretching of the imagination.

So far this looks far better than the crummy Stockade as Gears repaint. They Should have repainted Stockade as Brawn.

Yeah I agree as a Hoist repaint he could go well with Universe. I get annoyed with the feet though, and on Longarm the blue wave pattern made the feet to distracting! the solid green bonnet of the hoist repaint will fix this. Also I'm not a fan of the hook permanently attached to his arm.

Looks like Hasbro just sold another Deluxe.

Hmm...subject to the robot mode being good I may just get Movie 1 Mudflap and this and have the Grapple 'n Hoist pseudo-classics pair.
'May' as in 'Will definitely'.

Awesome mold. The head was never too "movie" anyway. I think this will work fine with HenClassiVerse.

I need me this!Do it Hasbro! Do it!

But given they're already re-releasing the long-arm mold in a box set, I fear they may not. :(

:cool: :cool:

As I quickly started to like Long-Arm after i got him, i Will Definitely try to pick that one up if i can. :)
"if of course, Hasbro plans to release it "which" is more than highly likely.... with the possibility of someone/something ruins how it is released".:(;)

I'm going to wait until Takara releases the Henkei one with Chrome

Firstly, that's a newly molded piece and wouldn't be included

Secondly, it isn't a Universe toy. Takara don't make movie toys into Henkei, why would they make this one? Its not like they released a Henkei G1 Movie Jazz

'twas a joke about the average board reactions to classic characters getting new toys :) but you gotta admit that Stencilator and the Botcon custom versions look nicer with the shinnier parts

It looks nice but I wish they had painted his shoulder panels orange to simulate the G1 toy's wings.

I prefer Stencilator's color scheme due to the bolder orange highlights.

+1. Doing the interior of the door panels orange might be a minor customising job down the track.

Yeah I thought about that and will do so.
