Hoist looks so great! oh and Thundercracker will be bought though not as excited as for Hoist (already have classics, Masterpiece etc of him).

 

When it comes to deluxes, we rarely if ever get all 3 released in the same line on this side of the ocean. One of them (either SW or TC) always ends up as some TRU JPN exclusive. I'm betting that's what happens again. Get ready for the $37 BBTS pre-order.

 

Hoist is faburous

 

Do want that Thundercracker!!

 

Hoist is a must, but less so TCracker. Just worried that both Hoist and his brother mold Trailblazer will be hollow and flimsy seeming. I've been less than impressed with the FOC aesthetic done in toy form- with huge gaps in quality, appearance, and overall flimsiness. The biggest offenders thus far being Jazz and Sideswipe IMHO. Here's hoping that Hoist/Trailblazer surprise me by breaking with this rather dubious tradition.

 

Both look great, but not sure I can fit them in my budget since they are repaints.

 

Thundercracker looks great. the deco and the mold choice meshed perfectly. I hope i can still get a FOC Starscream before he comes out. I want the seeker trio once more.

Hoist is a brilliant retool. Seriously this year Hasbro is knocking these things out of the park.

 

Very nice.
Very, very nice.

 

Yes... i do agree with that.quite alot actually. very much.

 

Well Hoist will be bought on sight anyway but ues, I share the worry that TB and Hoist will be hollow and flimsy a.la the FOC deluxes.

I hope not.

 

They both look gorgeous.

 

Thundercracker looks awful. I was quite excited for that mould once upon a time. I think it looks like shit now. Hoist is cool.

 

It's kind of weird how many 5mm ports are on the Trailcutter/Hoist mold; usually that kind of thing is only common in lines that play up weapon swapping like in Energon, or DOTM with Mechtech weapons.

 

Neat. TC (and Takara Skywarp; seems TT is the only one willing to release the guy in any iteration these days after the Hasbro MP Skywarp mess) is a maybe since FoC toys are fairly disappointing to me. Hoist, most definitely bought.

 

Well,i kinda LIKE the extra 5mm posts.

 

Hoist is a definite purchase for me; the figure looks really neat and is a great remold/repaint of the Trailcutter mold. But I already have a Classics-style Thundercracker that I'm perfectly happy with, from the last iteration of Generations, so I don't need FoC Thundercracker.

 

I'm going to 'hoist' up the white flag, too much interesting official stuff coming out in 2013. My wallet is going run away so fast it will create a sonic boom.

 

Hoist looks nice but is ruined for me like Trailbreaker with those crappy clip on wheels in the back.

Clip on Wheels are not okay Hasbro.

 

like cybertronian jet modes i dont like them much where i need repaints i more like classic seeker repaints hoist i pass on hoist had those orange wings on his bakc from show & g1 toy i may pick up

 

Not collecting the FOC line for the most part... but dang, that Hoist! It will be mine.
