- Tow-Line is an Autobot from the Energon portion of the Unicron Trilogy continuity family.

- Tow-Line (Deluxe, 2004)
- Tow-Line transforms into a large utility van. In robot mode, his lower vehicle portion becomes a mobile battle/repair platform. He can fold his legs back and up over his shoulders (hello!) and re-attach to this platform for a "battle mode". In this... ahem, position, Tow-Line can also form the top half of a two-robot "Powerlinx combiner" with any Energon Deluxe Autobot, and any of them can also use his platform for their own combination.
- This mold was retooled to make BotCon 2005's versions of Generation 1 Ironhide and Ratchet.
Trivia
- Tow-Line seems to be a melange of homages. The obvious one being to Generation 1 Ironhide/Ratchet (which the mold was used make, as noted above), though his head also bears a passing resemblance to Skids. His van mode even has the red stripe pattern.
