TRDQ: Transformers Generation 1 Hoist Review 

I love Hoist, especially in the IDW comics. If I'm premembering right, he's just a regular dude. He's not a master sharpshooter, or a sneaky assassin or anything like that. He's just a regular dude trying to do his job.

The snort I let out when I heard Ally McHoist made my dog jump. 10/10

I loved the surprisingly pleasant Repugnus bit.

Damn, I wasn’t expecting Repugnus to survive.

I'm sort of glad the dab is now the "articulation test" for all these toys.

I never thought of Hoist having a big belly, but now I can’t unsee him as a portly tow truck driver whose shirt barely covers his gut.

My first Transformer (Christmas 1985). Nostalgia. 😌 I remember me and my Mum trying to work out how to pop his head out. Lost my original Hoist, but I bought a very floppy second hand one (from BBTS?), and got a Takara reissue five years ago. And now I have FansToys 'Hitch', the ultimate Hoist. I know there is a Takara MasterPiece Hoist, but the FT version has alternative heads, so I can choose the G1 toy style bonce in green with yellow eyes (rather than the cartoon-style dark grey with blue eyes).

Gotta love G1, where they take the exact same weapon/gadget and just give it different names depending on who's using it. Love the Green Trailbreaker review, man. Always entertaining! And I'll just bet that Repugnus will be expecting you to flick him off of a table at a totally random time, now. You should do it already and relieve his suffering. Or don't. Y'know, either or.

I've always loved G1 Hoist, too. What a grand little greenster! I'm a fan of the Earthrise update, too. I think it's one of the best of the bunch from that line.

I grew up with the G1 toys. Even though I didn't have many of the first few years of Transformers toys, I still love the designs. So much fun in a little toy

Shake fist at a😅 world you never made🤣 Can't believe I just found this awesome channel!!

You, likewise are sturdy and reliable... thanks as always, Gavin!!!

Best video yet, can't beat a reference to Sir Alistair.

Man, I can't believe it! You got your hands on a toy of Moist? THE Moist!? Man, you're lucky. I loved him in Vehicles 2! I don't care what anyone says, a spy movie-race movie combo is awesome!

Oi Gavin I picked up G1 Repugnus a while back at TFCon. Fucking solid. Surprisingly, airport security let it through. Kinda wild.

😂😂😂 pugnus fake out at the end was brilliant 😂😂

wow he looks JUST like a G1 Bulkhead!! he even has the launchable fists and concerned face!! that's my interpretation now

Love the ending, hehe I didn't like Hoist's funky legs in the cartoon but I can see his toy is much closer to the town design than Trailbreaker.

I bought mine at an Anime convention. second favorite G1 after Sideswipe.

I always enjoy the fact Hoist looks as if they're wearing little orange shorts. Maybe they're a fan of the Tazmaniac?

There’s really nobody else quite like Hoist. I love him to bits because he just sits in his own wee niche in my mind. Genuinely invested in scooping this toy up now you’ve given us a closer look at it

I'm on a bit of a Hoist renaissance, and the g1 version looks like magic

What a handsome lad!

My brother got Hoist at some point and managed to break off and lose the head and backpack assembly in short order. So the hatch on top of his cab to put a Dianaut in became his "head" in our house.

Character development :D But what nefarious plans is Sisko Duck brewing

I'm dying, the baby koala cough just sums up that feeling when the ballistics just... Don't.

lol great review as always. I really should get a few more G1 Toys, I only have like two in the whole collection any more. Also Repugnus! Nice seeing the kid be treated with some respect haha.

Ironically, the only episode I had on tape was the one where Hoist and friends are conned into working for a terrible film director

I feel truly frustrated and unsatisfied at Repugnus not getting hit, omw to watch other reviews to fill that desire of violence within me by finding an episode where he does get hit.

Hoist is my rather meager collection of Transformers. Given the lineup of Autobots you had there, I suspect for the same reason. I got him during the re-issue wave of the early-2000s. He's neat, and I always kinda wanted a Trailbreaker because of how neat Hoist is.

Always had a wierd affinity for Hoist and idk why. He was never in anything I watched as a kid, I think it's just because he's a dumpy lad

I’m late, but woo! I love hoist!

I love hoist

That was good.

My brother had one of these as a kid but sadly it did not survive.

Hope you're having a good day

I should collect more of the G1 Guys...

Hello Gavin ❤

I am a sucker for a normie bot. That is, a Transformer that turns into a regular old normal ass car as opposed to the enjoyable but overdone speedster. Hoist is high on my list but Trailbreaker is my number one guy. 👍

I never owned any of Hoist's toys despite liking his green color scheme. I need to rectify that with the G1, Generations, ROTF, or Masterpiece figures. I don't know which I should prioritize though

"Moist".

How does the double barreled gun fire? Where does the ammunition come from?
