The arker posted an image of the long awaited repaint of Movie 2007 Longarm as Hoist.

If you recall, the original head sculpt for the Longarm figure was made to look like Hoist as opposed to the Transformers Movie Game model for Longarm.

A few people wanted this.
I think it looks terrible.

Alt mode looks spot on. I'm interested to see bot mode.

Is this possibly a custom?

Finally. Someone at BotCon did this for their art contest entry. I'll definitely buy this and put it with my Classics/Universe figures.

I don't think so, looks too professional with those tampographs.

Interesting.

I'll wait to see the robot mode before deciding to pull the trigger.

Wow that looks great! A must buy!

TT24, the Arker usually don't post custom items. Not at their news section. The possibility of custom is not high.

The alt-mode is what you would expect Hoist to be... looks good. But I would want to see the bot-mode before I decide.

Molded orange plastic and transluscent yellow lights? Not likely.

Hasbro said a long time back that the head sculpt was specifically designed for this repaint at some point down the line.

Looks like a win to me. I like those colors.

Longarm was one of my favorite TF1 molds (once I unscrewed the gun from the hand), so I'll likely get this when it comes out.

Tell me more! How did you do it? Is it as simple as unscrewing a single screw? And afterwards, can he still hold the gun?

This has got to be the best G1 hommage from the movie line yet. Jazz was good but this is better.

Being objective about it, I know this isn't any better than the old Longarm paintjob. But having owned and played with the G1 Hoist as an 8-year-old, I have to say this makes me very happy.

Thats pretty damn cool if you ask me. Not a real big fan of this mold but since its host i think ill get it. That is if it really does see the light of day. Lets hope the bot mode has some remolds.

Sweet. My movie-style G1 collection gets another addition.

It's a good figure, too, and even better after I removed the screw that held the gun-assembly in the hand.

Hoist goes Hollywood! woo hoo!

Welcome classic Hoist.

Fans have been talkin' about a repaint like this since Longarm first came out...and finally, WE HAVE IT! WOO-HOO! HOIST! :APPLAUSE:

Thanks for the idea! :APPLAUSE:

The rifle is now detachable and fits perfectly into the hole in his left hand without falling out. Much better.

As far as Hoist goes, I'll be picking him up, along with the Gears repaint of Stockade. The more G1 that can be applied to the movieverse, the better IMO.

Wonder if this will be a store exclusive or general release?

6 pics and none of the bot mode? What gives?

They're teasing us. It's standard practice these days sadly

Or they stole the figure from the factory and don't know how to transform it

Okay.. okay.. I'm joking.

*Looks up Longarm*

Hmm, pretty skinny bot mode, not nearly bulky enough to be a proper Hoist. However, maybe Hoist joined Energon Watchers like Mirage did?

Irregardless, I'm getting this figure

Well, these are Movie Figures. The instruction at times are more convoluted than War and Peace

If that is an actual figure that is released to the public, I have to get it. Oh wait. I spent all my damned money on the Universe line....damn it!

I want this so bad I can taste it!

Now, can I have one in black with a remolded head and 70's stripes on the side please, pretty please.

Posted by Jetstorm92210 on July 15th, 2009 @ 9:32pm CDT

I'm completely sold on this one :grin:

.
Like that guy before me said Hoist finally goes to Hollywood.
Too bad for Powerglide, Sunstreaker, Tracks and Warpath :lol:

.
The only thing that can ruin it for me is that he ends up being an exclusive, you have no idea how many exclusives arrive to Mexico, I'm still waiting for Animated Ultra Magnus to show up despite he not being an exclusive.
