'''Hightower''' transforms into a gigantic truss crane. 

When combined with his fellow [[Constructicon (ROTF)|Constructicons]], he forms the left arm of [[Devastator (ROTF)|Devastator]]. When not combined, it is heavily disputed as to whether he can form ''himself''.

==Fiction==
===''Revenge of the Fallen'' (movie)===
[[Image:Constructicons-ROTFcanyon.jpg|left|thumb|300px|Best known as "Supplier of at least one of Devastator's balls."]]

During the climactic battle in [[Egypt]] between the Autobots, their human allies and [[The Fallen]]'s Decepticons, Hightower appeared in a quarry with the other Constructicons before merging into Devastator to attack former [[Sector Seven]] agent [[Seymour Simmons]], [[Leo Spitz]], [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]] and [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]]. As Devastator smashed away at the [[Great Pyramid of Giza]] after shrugging off Skids and Mudflap, Simmons called upon the [[United States Navy]] to fire upon the giant Decepticon. The [[United States Navy#U.S.S. Kidd (DDG-100)|U.S.S. ''Kidd'']] fired her experimental [[Railgun|railgun]], smashing one of his arms to pieces and destroying Devastator. {{storylink|Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen}}

:Hightower transforms from a truss crane to Devastator's left arm. Like the other Constructicons in this set, he cannot transform into robot mode due to pricing, accuracy and stability concerns.

*'''Devastator''' (2009)
:An extremely-simplified version of Hightower's vehicle mode is included as part of [[Devastator (ROTF)#Burger_King|Burger King Devastator]].  Though his ball socket is compatible with any of Devastator's limb connections, it's marked with a B to indicate he forms Devastator's left arm.  Hightower seems to be the least [[Show-accuracy|movie accurate]] of the four limbs.

===Robot Heroes===

==Notes==
* Like fellow Constructicon [[Overload (ROTF)|Overload]], Hightower had a robot mode designed for him at the concept stage, but he never transformed into robot mode in the movie itself, and indeed, artists for licensed work such as [[IDW Publishing]]'s [[Revenge of the Fallen Movie Adaptation|''Revenge of the Fallen'' comic adaptation]] were unaware that he even had a robot mode.  All the references they were provided with simply listed the Truss crane as having "no robot mode". 
* On November 6 to November 8, 2009, a second piece of concept art of Hightower similar to his Legends toy (with small ''T. rex'' arms and a claw on his tail) were displayed at Bondi Beach in Sydney, [[Australia]] to promote the [[Revenge of the Fallen DVD field guide|DVD release]] of ''Revenge of the Fallen''.
