:''Hightower is a [[Decepticon]] whose continuity of origin is unknown, but who was caught up in the [[Universe war]].''

'''Hightower''' is one of the six [[Micromaster]] [[Constructicon (Universe)|Constructicons]] who combine into [[Constructicon Devastator (Micromaster)|Constructicon Devastator]], Hightower forming his left arm.  Hightower's personality, like that of his comrades, is unknown.  It is also unknown what, if any, connection he has with the ''other'' [[Hightower (RID)|cranes named]] [[Hightower (Classics)|"Hightower"]] (or [[Hook (G1)|green-and-purple cranes]] [[Gren|in general]]) throughout the [[Continuity|multiverse]] - not to mention [[Hightower (Universe Ultra)|the one]] also in the [[Universe war]].

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

:A [[redeco]] of [[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 [[Wikipedia: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 mold was also used to make ''[[Micromaster Collection]]'' [[Gren]].

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

: The Micromaster Constructicons were sold in Europe under the ''[[Energon (toyline)|Energon]]'' banner, presumably since Europe never actually got ''[[Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]]''. 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 [[Generation 1 (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.
