'''Hightower''' is one of the six [[Micromaster|MicroMaster]] [[Constructicon (Universe)|Constructicons]] who combine into [[Devastator (Universe Micromaster)|Devastator]], Hightower forming his left arm. Hightower's personality, like that of his comrades, is unknown.

==Fiction==
===Ask Vector Prime===
In [[Aurex 1104.30-DB Zeta]] (a highly [[Primax]]-influenced universe), the [[Protectobot (Universe)|Protectobot]]s, [[Railbot]]s, and [[Aerialbot (Universe)|Aerialbot]]s were born from Dr. [[Brian Jones]]'s attempts at reverse-engineering Maximus combiner technology and applying it to [[Mini-Con]] anatomy. However, the Decepticons stole the technology and created their own combiner team, the Constructicons. Thus, [[Superion (Universe)|Superion]], [[Defensor (Universe)|Defensor]], and [[Rail Racer (Universe)|Rail Racer]] fought [[Devastator (Universe Micromaster)|Devastator]] in the [[Combiner Wars (event)|Combiner Wars]] during the [[Unicron Singularity]] crisis. {{storylink|Ask Vector Prime#Facebook|Ask Vector Prime, 2015/07/31}}

*'''Hightower''' (MicroMaster, 2004)
**''Accessories'': Left & right Devastator fists

:A [[redeco]] of [[Iron Lift#Operation Combination 2|Iron Lift]], Hightower transforms into a crane truck. He can form the left arm to any similar-construction Micromaster combiner robot, but his nominal position is as the arm of Constructicon Devastator. (He can be used as a right arm too, but since only the right fist to the [[Sixbuilder]] mold-set will work with him, he'd be backwards.)

:A [[KB Toys]] [[exclusive]], he and the other MicroMaster Constructicons were also ultimately available from {{w|Sears, Roebuck and Company|Sears}} during [[Christmas]]time, and [[Kmart]]'s online store.

:The toy's connector socket is approximately 5mm wide, making Hightower compatible with [[Powerlinx]] ports. 

: This toy also [[Repurposing|doubles]] as the ''[[Beast Wars: Uprising]]'' incarnation of [[Hightower (RID)#Beast Wars: Uprising|Hightower]]. This mold was also used to make ''[[The Transformers: Micromaster|Micromaster]]'' [[Gren]].

**''Accessories'': Left & right Devastator fists

: The MicroMaster Constructicons were sold in Europe under the ''[[Transformers: Energon (toyline)|Energon]]'' banner, presumably since Europe never actually got ''[[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]]''. Other then the packaging, the toys are identical to the ''Universe'' versions.

==Notes==
* It seems highly likely that Hightower's name came about due to Hasbro's inability to secure the [[trademark]] for "[[Hook (disambiguation)|Hook]]", as other members of the team use the names of the [[The Transformers (franchise)|Generation 1]] [[Constructicon (G1)|Constructicon]]s who share their alternate mode.
* Every bit of purple on Hightower is paint. His wheels and crane-boom are the only parts not cast in bright green plastic.
