The name or term "High Wire" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see High Wire (disambiguation).
High Wire is an Autobot from the movie continuity family (via the Speed Stars line).
Once you see that angry face on his torso, you can't unsee it.

High Wire doesn't get why it's his problem that humans get uneasy around giant alien robots, but those annoying pencil-pushers in charge think otherwise and have him under strict orders to stay in motorcycle mode at all times. He absolutely hates this, and often rebels against authority by revealing his hidden weapons just to shock random passersby.

  • High Wire (Stealth Force Motorcycle, 2010)
Part of the first wave of the small "Motorcycle" size class of the Speed Stars "Stealth Force" line, High Wire is a sport racing motorcycle of indeterminate model without a robot mode. Instead, he features an attack mode with multiple pop-out (non-firing) weapons activated by pulling his rear wheel. His front housing opens up to reveal a pair of blasters and a minigun-ish cannon on each side, the top reveals a large cannon, his seat flips up to reveal a quad-blaster (which doesn't have a clear firing angle), his front lowers, and his taillights extend out.
He was later redecoed into Dirt Rocket.

Dark of the Moon

[edit]
  • High Wire (Stealth Force Motorcycle, 2011)
High Wire was repackaged for the Dark of the Moon toyline, with no changes from the original Speed Stars release.

Notes

[edit]
  • As with a lot of new characters introduced in the 2010-2011 toy lines, High Wire's bio info did not tie him in any specific franchise. His reissue in the Dark of the Moon toyline, however, puts him firmly in the live-action film series.
  • High Wire is almost at perfect scale for use with G.I. Joe 3 3/4-inch action figures.
