Title:
Hoist With Refute 2nd
Description:
Hoist with Refute (Super-Con, 2003)
Takara ID number: MC-11
Takara release date: August 28, 2003
Smokescreen returned in a new body with the name "Hoist”, transforming into a Cybertronic excavator, released in the sixth wave of Armada Super-Cons (the first wave to feature the "Unicron Battles” branding). Plugging a Mini-Con onto his right arm unlocks his shovel-arm punch attack, which is activated by pressing in the plunger on the "back” of the arm. This feature remains unlocked until the block is manually returned to its latched position.
He comes with a new Mini-Con partner Refute, who, in Japan, is the upgraded form of Liftor, dubbed "Spark Lift”.
The Takara version has a fairly significant color difference from the Hasbro version, replacing the dark brown plastic with a swirled, semi-translucent gunmetal.
This mold has a common misassembly error; his left arm’s ratchet-joint can end up off a notch, preventing the arm from "clicking” to a proper level-with-the-ground position in vehicle mode.
The same mold (with the molded Autobot sigil replaced by a smooth block for a sigil tampograph) is used to make Universe Ransack. A heavily-retooled version of the mold was used to make Cybertron Longrack and BotCon 2006’s Darksyde Dinobot.
