Vehicle mode: Average looking tow truck. Colored all black , with a few brownish red joints here and there. Has a few stickers in truck mode , like the two on the sides that read " Wilk and Son Towing " Looks like Hoist got a job. Also has two stripe stickers on front end. Only has four wheels which looks rather weird on a vehicle like this. Has a tow hook on back which is kinda useless. Sivler colored detial on windows and grill.

Transformation: This is an auto transforming toy , just pull out the hook and he blossoms out into his robot mode , position the legs and arms , remove the hidden weapon which is attached to the grill , and you've got the robot mode.

Robot mode: Lot's of joints , few ball joints too , very poseable fellow. The robot mode is very neat looking from any angle. Hoist is very bulky looking and has a very classy robot appearance. I like. Same colors on robot mode as vehicle mode.

Weapons: The grill turns into his hand gun. The grill peice can be removed from the main gun , and put back on chest in robot mode. The gun looks cool with or without it.

Other notes: The sides are kind of floppy in robot mode , making the arms swing out too far at times. And because of this problem the auto transform doesn't always finish by itself , you have to finish it manually.

Overall: Good toy , worth the price of $4.99 , but could be better with some stickers in robot mode , at least a faction symbol might help.

On a scale of one to ten this toys recieves a 7.
