HOIST (DIE-CAST)

PROJECT #219
CLASSIFICATION:
KITBASH
BASE VEHICLE: MAISTO PICKUP TRUCK
FIRST APPEARANCE: "DINOBOT ISLAND" PART 1

"My duty as an Autobot comes first, no matter how unglamorous a role it may seem."

Comments:  I actually went through three or four base vehicles for Hoist (and even painted an early version, project #62, to completion) before finding and finishing this one.  For the wings on his roof, I cut some pieces of scrap plastic into the right shape and mounted them on a LEGO piece.  (What's funny about Hoist is that the toy, as conceived for the Diaclone toy line, was designed so that the wings can detach for vehicle mode, and the wing posts are supposed to represent emergency lights.  The fact that Hoist keeps his wings even in vehicle mode is, well, rather silly.)
