Title:
Hoist
Description:
Hoist (Basic, 1997)
Accessories: Grill/rifle
A mold originally designed for — but never released in — Generation 2, Machine Wars Hoist shares a mold with Machine Wars Hubcap, transforming into a Kenworth W900 wrecker truck. He is a "flipchanger”, meaning most of his transformation sequence is an autotransform, springing into robot mode by lifting a catch (in his case, his towing hook). His rifle is made up of his front grill and bumper.
The "Wilk and Sons Towing” sticker is most likely a reference to Hasbro employee Brian Wilk.
This toy is gang-molded with the other three Basic molds in the line. Specifically, his inner robot parts and tow-arm share plastic with Thundercracker’s inner robot parts, his truck parts share plastic with Thundercracker’s head and Mirage’s seat, plus he shares the pearlescent-gray windows/visor plastic with, well, everyone.
