Surefoot Upgrade Kit for Transformers Generations Trailcutter and Hoist
The biggest complaint with the official Transformers Generations Hoist* and Trailcutter* toys is that they’re so very short. These guys suffered from being released late in the “CHUG” series, so the cost-cutting measures Hasbro took over the last few years resulted in these smallish Deluxe class toys.
Good thing the third party Transformers makers are out there, because now Hoist and Trailcutter get a chance to grow taller with the Surefoot Upgrade from Echo TF. The kit is still in the tooling stage, but once it is released it should be pretty cool because it gives the two toys extensions to make the stand taller in robot mode. In vehicle mode the parts transform into small trailers, making it possible for all of the parts to be used in both modes.
If you’re like me, you may find Generations/Takara Hoist, and Trailcutter not tall enough for the rest of your Generations/Universe Autobots. So we have created this little kit that lifts our two heroic friends to proper height, offering proper ankle articulation and better stability!

I’ve been anxiously awaiting this set. I already put the X2 Strengthen set on these dudes, but adding some platform shoes should make them damn near perfect. Echo’s kits are pretty great, so this one should be a hit.
Very nice! I’m definitely interested in getting these. Any word on where they’ll be sold?
