	: Part of the first normal wave of [[Micro-Changer]] [[Kreon]]s, Hook is a [[blindpacking\|blindpacked]]-bagged mini-figure, though a stamped ID number can be found on the back of the bag, top-right corner. He comes with extra parts so he can be rebuilt into a crane, or as near as you can get with a Kreon. He features a brand-new "blockhead" piece that resembles a flatnosed truck grill and windshield on top.		: Part of the first normal wave of ''[[Kre-O]]'' [[Micro-Changer]] [[Kreon]]s, Hook is a [[blindpacking\|blindpacked]]-bagged mini-figure, though a stamped ID number can be found on the back of the bag, top-right corner.

			: Though he was sold separately from the Micro Changer Combiner [[Devastator (G1)#Kre-O\|Devastator]] set, you can try and incorporate him (and fellow blindpacked Constructicon [[Long Haul (G1)#Kre-O)\|Long Haul]]) into the build if you're feeling creative.

			: In 2016, Collection 1 was re-released in a whole new production run for Dollar General stores in the US as part of a large collection of re-released ''Kre-O'' sets. But where most of these releases are nigh-identical to the originals, the re-released Micro-Changer blind-bags use the almost-entirely-retooled 2015 Kreon, with slightly-differently-hued plastics than the originals. (It is possible for some of the add-on pieces to be in the older hues.) They also come with a flat 3x4 ''Kre-O'' logo plate rather than the 2x4 logo brick. Sadly, this release has no individual-identification code on the bag, requiring you to use the feel-through-the-bag method or just buy blind and hope.

	: ~~Re-released in 2016 through Dollar General (then later other outlets), this version of~~ Hook ~~is significantly different from the original. He uses the extensively [[retool]]ed 2015-style Kreon body, his existing~~ [[tampograph]]s are more complex, ~~plus he has~~ new ~~leg tampos~~. His "hook" piece is a similar but entirely different piece from the original, plus the 1x1 top-clip piece is slightly different~~. He also has a new 3x4 "KRE-O" logo stand-plate rather than the old 2x4 brick~~.		: Hook's torso [[tampograph]]s are more complex, with the flat gray paint replaced with metallic silver. His face and legs also have new detailing, with his visor now being a brighter yellow-orange instead of just orange. His "hook" piece is a similar but entirely different piece from the original (the original seemingly no longer in production as it had been removed from other contemporary kits), plus the 1x1 top-clip piece is slightly different.

	: ~~The 2015-style re-releases lack any individual ID numbers on~~ the ~~bags~~, ~~so you~~'~~re forced to buy blind or feel for parts through~~ the ~~bag~~.		: Some stock imagery of the wave weirdly "paints" the chest tampographs ''over'' the flak vests used in this wave, which obviously didn't happen with the final toys.

	:Released in the fourth wave of the Galaxy Version line of blind boxes, [[Blokees]] Hook is a roughly 4-inch-tall, highly-articulated, and non-transforming snap-on model kit of the Constructicon Truck Crane. He is built on a "Standard Body" skeleton shared with other Blokees figures in the line, but with different body pieces to make them distinct. Like many other Blokees figures, Hook has a stand with four studs on top, which he can plug into and connect to similar stands. Hook also features color-coded visor eye parts, unlike some previous waves' kits.		:Released in the fourth wave of the Galaxy Version line of blind boxes, [[Blokees]] Hook is a roughly 4-inch-tall, highly-articulated, and non-transforming snap-on model kit of the Constructicon Truck Crane.
