I love that he doesn't actually borrow much engineering from Trailbreaker. There's similarities here and there, but in general, he is his own figure, and I love it.
Really nice and simple design and transformation. I like it. Sorta reminds me of old Takara engineering with the Datsuns. Glad they are simplifying the overall transformation again.
Hoist is a favorite. He's not one of the main dudes, but during a family reunion or photo op, you notice he's missing. He's one of those who just completes the fam.
Original G1 Hoist was my first ever toy, so he's my top favorite, but when i got the Masterpiece i've immediately regretted buying him. He is supposed to be short and stocky (which you can clearly see in the cartoon version) but the toy is tall and lanky... more like Trailbreaker... The worst part is the head area, too thin plastic holding the two halves of the toy and is bound to break, reminds me of the green plastic on Hound... They should have made the top area atleast die-cast so it holds the area better and will be more sturdy... While it "looks" good in photos, was very disappointed when having him in hand...
@whateveryousay731 lol. Geez. I was like, "Hoist was into wrestling?" Good one, bro. I feel gullible. I remember seeing the Von Erichs/Free Birds matches when I was younger.
Great review. Was stuck trying to get those shoulders sorted! Bit of a downer but this may be the last official MP I preorder. Gappy, limited articulation and premium price. Just not seeing the value any more in some of them.
Takara went insane with this figure huh? I thought it would be just a slight remold of Trailbreaker but nope, it only shares maybe a bit of the chest part and that's it.
You have Grapper right? Because it was both of them that teamed up with the Constructicons in order to build that solar tower that Grapper and Hoist came up with that Optimus didn't like.
You're upgrading your videos by bringing in pictures to compare the figure to. Cool. I was wondering straight after the transformation, why were you moving the figure to the left? There you go.
I think the comparison with the Fanstoys version really drives home that striving for cartoon accuracy can result in some very bad designs. In this case, no pelvis whatsoever, just legs sticking out of a torso.
Man, wanna love this figure but the giant gap on the truck mode windows just look so bad, that thing looks like unfinished prototype or mistransformed figure
LMAO! Prime said "WHAT?!" so much I thought either he was doing a bad Ironhide impression, or his CPU burned out trying to process what he was seeing. And i wouldn't blame him in the slightest. Who ever wrote that episode was on some seriously hard energon dust that day.The only episode that made this look good was the terrorist country of carbombia episode. I'm pretty sure they sent that writer to rehab for that one. Yeeeeeesh! 😆😆😆
Nice figure, but I would have preferred that they borrowed more of the design from Trailbreaker and at least ditched the garish looking panels behind the arms. I never liked how the cartoon turned this guy's appearance into fatty-bot.
not an MP collector but honestly I think the official looks better. the FT one's head looks way too big, and the chrome legs are also weird. the whole "short sleeved shirt and shorts with knee-pads" looks way better when the legs are the same color as the arms.
Same. As great as Fans Toys looks at times, what I also care about equally is transformation. Fans Toys have HORRIBLE transformations that are flimsy and non-intuitive. Takara with every single character they do with the exception of MP-44 which is admittedly over engineered in places, have a good balance of aesthetic and transformation. This figure looks to be no different. Now hopefully we get Cliffjumper officially announced and Jazz soon after now that Porsche has let Transformers do their thing again.
I wish Takara made the windshield for not only this but but most of there figures blue so you don't have to see the hands, feet, robot face, etc. Also please get a chance to review X-Transbots Devastator. THE CLAW! The claw is our master he choose who goes and who will stay. Yes a Toy Story reference.
I gave the official a skip. The bot mode is too cartoon accurate for me and looks goofy and i really dislike how you can see right into the bot through the windshield. I have MMC in bot mode, and FTs in all mode.
The problem with 3rd Parties is that they are Chinese companies that have little to no safety control. What if the paint on the 3rd Party figures have lead in them?
I love that he doesn't actually borrow much engineering from Trailbreaker. There's similarities here and there, but in general, he is his own figure, and I love it.
The G1 Hoist my grandma gave me when I was a kid was a favorite. This guy looks cool and definitely tickles the nostalgia.
I remenbered my G1 Hoist, broke one of his arm while transforming it the first time
Really nice and simple design and transformation. I like it. Sorta reminds me of old Takara engineering with the Datsuns. Glad they are simplifying the overall transformation again.
Should've had your Masterpiece Tracks & Masterpiece Sunstreaker with their alien masks on in that skit.
Hoist is a favorite. He's not one of the main dudes, but during a family reunion or photo op, you notice he's missing. He's one of those who just completes the fam.
Yeah I’ve always had a soft spot for him
If you were trying to make someone cry,congratulations you succeeded
I love his earthrise toy
It's impressive how elegantly the legs transform. I can't wait to replace my XTB Hoist.
He 100% tells so many dad jokes that the other autobots cringe when he enters a room
Could it be that if Optimus Prime parks in a private parking lot and doesn't pay the amount, he will be stuck there?
6:02 i confess, the lack of complete side windows are driving me nuts
Guess what? It's SHOW AKYURET and there's nothing we can do about it, it's what MP is all about now
@@martinefrensoquigomez7835 i was gonna be snarky but u lowkey right
@@martinefrensoquigomez7835 always thought that was an odd show design, since the original toy did have side windows.
@@Gett_Raccd obviously I meant that in this case the toy did it better, ambiguity is key Mr. oblivious.
@@Gett_RaccdI didn't notice....
The original G1 Hoist is the first transformer I remember getting as a kid in the 80’s🎉
Man, what a dope figure ! Those golden boots are *mesmerizing*
0-0
(And good vid as usual ^^)
Ah, the '83 Toyota SR5, truly a rock solid workhorse of a truck.
Who doesn’t love good ol’ Moist?
He’s a Star, baby!
The first time Optimus is confused 😅😂
I love how close to the G1 figure the transformation is. Pretty sure even I could manage this one.
4:59 emgo having watched liar liar to many times...
@ 5:22 Spike looks passed out drunk in the driver’s seat. 😂
Most of this figure has studio series level of transformation, yet it still all works so well!
didn’t even realise he was out! nice review emgo
Hoist was the first G1 Transformer I got as a kid. Has a special place for me!
Original G1 Hoist was my first ever toy, so he's my top favorite, but when i got the Masterpiece i've immediately regretted buying him.

They should have made the top area atleast die-cast so it holds the area better and will be more sturdy...
While it "looks" good in photos, was very disappointed when having him in hand...
I was hoping to see the alien pose and comparison with Sunstreaker.
good job about MP-58 Masterpiece HOIST Action Figure from Transformers
Those two tiny spaghetti straps holding the front and back of the torso together look terrifying to try to transform him...
That windshield doing so much work for the integrity of the whole toy.
Would be a never transform for me
MP Hoist is far and away the better figure compared to FT, especially in truck mode. And that orange, woof! Love your outro skit though! Nice one.
Little known fact but Hoist was a fan of the Von Erich family
Really? Where is that stated?
@@eduardovega8581 the Von Erich family was known for bare feet wrestling and their finishing move was the Claw
@whateveryousay731 lol. Geez. I was like, "Hoist was into wrestling?" Good one, bro. I feel gullible. I remember seeing the Von Erichs/Free Birds matches when I was younger.
Great review. Was stuck trying to get those shoulders sorted!

I have very few main line bots. 3rd party is almost always superior, in my opinion.
I have done this exact same thing. Thankfully I only started recently and with the help of many TH-camrs videos it’s 3rd party all the way for me now!
I really like Hoist better than Trailbreaker. I think the Green and Orange color works so well and he has a battle mask that I like. Good video!
You should of put MP Sunstreaker with the mask in that last part of that scrip with Hoist to make Prime go crazy
Great work as usual!
Hooray for clear windows!! 🎉
If you want, BBTS has the Takara Encore reissue for G1 Hoist available for $65.
aw yeah EmGo MP Review
Takara went insane with this figure huh? I thought it would be just a slight remold of Trailbreaker but nope, it only shares maybe a bit of the chest part and that's it.
Dad bod robot he even looks like he's wearing cargo shorts and long socks but that's we love about hoist
Hoist: the character who had a whole episode about being a movie star, but has never been in an actual movie.
You have Grapper right? Because it was both of them that teamed up with the Constructicons in order to build that solar tower that Grapper and Hoist came up with that Optimus didn't like.
First Hoist to get the leg orientation correct (just coming out of the body).
Hoist needs no crotch.
Hoist looks good
Oo lala and voila a claw!!
This guys is cool which is why i got the earthrise version but the big chonkt bits on the back of the arms is a thing i hate
I thought the biggest disappointment was that there was no option to BLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSH!!!!!!!!!
You're upgrading your videos by bringing in pictures to compare the figure to. Cool. I was wondering straight after the transformation, why were you moving the figure to the left? There you go.
I think I prefer fans toys over the official except for the head sculpt. But I'm not a big Hoist fan, so......😂
I'm still have ER Hoist
I do too
The skiiitttttt!!!! LOL
I think the comparison with the Fanstoys version really drives home that striving for cartoon accuracy can result in some very bad designs. In this case, no pelvis whatsoever, just legs sticking out of a torso.
The fact that you transformed mp44 for the comparison
I think Emgo has 2...
Although that's not the official MP-44, and a bit different transformation sequence.
he’s fucking beautiful 💚thanks 4the show💋💥
If he is a tow truck, wouldn't he be a Tow Yota? Sorry.
Hey it's a toy Toyota!😉
Not every bot can wear orange shorts and make it work.
Heaven help us if Hasbro does a crossover fembot with Hooters
What generation is your favorite, Mine is fall of cybertron Wheeljack😊
You didn't the bloosh compatible 😨😨😨
I wasn’t counting that as a bloosh
@@emgo316 ouhhh🥲, it's so fun when You do the blooshing 😞, but don't worry, i'm just joking
@@emgo316 You're the best anyway!! 💪🏻🤗
I'll take the Takara version...
6:54 hoist attack mode
Man, wanna love this figure but the giant gap on the truck mode windows just look so bad, that thing looks like unfinished prototype or mistransformed figure
its animation accurate, but ngl it threw me off too lol
@@tylervanpeursem7627i also got thrown for a loop
MP Transformers give me anxiety 😅
FT-61!!! 😁

I lost it when he said "You suck at being you!". 🤣
(Inhale)…. what?!
emgo it's me or hoist alt mode is a remold of masterpiece trailbreaker??
I’m bummed about the hollow, incomplete shoulders… otherwise nice figure
The question we all want to know. Do you have 2 toys for most of the figures so you dont need to transform them all the time?
Nope
Kind of defeats the purpose of a Transformer toy don’t you think?
@@emgo316 wow, you're even more amazing
Although, long time viewers know robot mode Prime is the official MP-44 and truck mode is a KO.
@michaelmcvay wrong. Truck mode is official, robot mode is KO.
cool
haha i like that jab.. some people are gonna be devastated with no hip rotation
I like masterpiece autobots hoist

@@topbackpodcast2615 agreed, I enjoy CHUG, not MP, but seeing the difference between several 3P companies and official is insane.
I'll likely never buy a 3p as ill turn g1 Galvatron crazy before o even fjnish one mode
Hoist ended up with the better transformation
Now all you need are Masterpiece Warpath & Masterpiece Powerglide with their alien masks to make your own Michael Bay movie!
I wish Takara made the windshield for not only this but but most of there figures blue so you don't have to see the hands, feet, robot face, etc. Also please get a chance to review X-Transbots Devastator.
THE CLAW! The claw is our master he choose who goes and who will stay. Yes a Toy Story reference.
No Toyota endorsement? 😢 On the box, at least.
it has it on the back of the alt mode. I showed it.
No Bloosh for Hoist?
I wasn’t counting that as a bloosh
I gave the official a skip. The bot mode is too cartoon accurate for me and looks goofy and i really dislike how you can see right into the bot through the windshield. I have MMC in bot mode, and FTs in all mode.
What???... No sad pac man??
Hoist is the first unfit transformer in history
. 22:44 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Fanstoys much better
The official 👍🏾
🤣🤣👍💯
I like Takara better!
Not to body shame, I love Trailbreaker’s dad bod, but I’ve never been a fan of Hoist. His huge hips and scrawny legs just always turned me away.
Moist!
Official robot mode better
How can this be considered “Masterpiece” with the very limited articulation this thing possesses?
I prefer the XTB Hoist.
I hated this figure as a kid and still don't like him today haha.
I just don't like this mold. Too much hollow on this guy. WAY too much.
The only hollow is in the chest 😂
3rd party is almost always better.. No exception here. Fans toys hoist is way better.
The problem with 3rd Parties is that they are Chinese companies that have little to no safety control. What if the paint on the 3rd Party figures have lead in them?
@@39Hundred well, they're mostly display pieces and I don't go around licking them or eating the paint chips....
@@random_toaster you dont eat the chips? man its the best part (lol)
