- A <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KB_Toys" class="extiw" title="wikipedia:KB_Toys">K•B Toys</a> exclusive, he was sold on an individual card with the hips and upper legs to Constructicon Devastator.

Trivia
- Hightower is clearly an homage to the Generation 1 Constructicon Hook. The fact that several of his equally-homage-y teammates did keep their G1 names suggests that the use of "Hightower" was likely due to trademark issues at the time.
