You like G1 homages right? Well it looks like there is another one incoming which we can expect to see in the Revenge of the Fallen line.
The Arker has just posted images of a repaint of Longarm from the first line of Transformers Movie toys, which has a striking resemblance to Generation 1 Hoist. Check out the thumbnail for all of the images posted.

Well Why not at least paint to "Grapple" then (Even though the Uni2.0 "Inferno" whould be a better canidate)???
yes i'm
brr-icy
going by hasbro not liking to use a name only once, i will wait for the universe hoist, but this makes a nice movie hoist, and if i collected movie i'd pick it up

I'm surprised Hasbro hasn't thought of using retooled versions of the Energon Ironhide or Armada Red Alert molds for Trailbreaker. Perhaps I'm on to something?

You leave Stockade alone! He's a great toy. Not ideal for Trailbreaker but then he wasn't designed to be him anyway.
KupDidntCThis
Agreed!

Z.U.D.O.N
… … … PASS.
The mold is still good, but I don't think the colours match the robot's design..
frilly toothpick

"Cause a spoon will hurt more you twit!"

I thought ROTF gears was meh so I was gonna pass on him But Hoist I'll deffinetly pick em up
Nemesis Chris
wow. must have
ORIO
Man, everyone made a lot good points to the similarity of g1 Hoist. I'm not tempted anymore, I'm sold
Bring on bot mode pics
Bgrngod
BLASPHEMY!! They must share a mold like I must breath oxygen!
Stockade would have made a good Trailbreaker, but only for alt-mode. The bot-mode is WAY off. The bot-mode just screams Brawn to me. Except for those long arms…just don't extend them and it's easier to imagine.

Oh my! That green is fantabulous!
