If Ratchet is the Autobots' chief surgeon, then Hoist is their family doctor. Everyone reports to Hoist for routine check-ups and maintenance, no exceptions! A jovial, friendly robot, the up-beat Hoist enjoys his job and it shows. He likes providing a minor sense of normalcy and structure to the Autobots' turbulent lives, even if he's rarely noticed or appreciated for it. Hoist speaks with a cultured British-sounding accent and can usually be found playing "Dr. Watson" to his friend.
