The name or term "Hightower" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Hightower (disambiguation).
Hightower is a Constructicon from the Classics portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
Have you seen me?

This character or person needs some sort of visual representation. If you have one, please replace this.

Hightower dislikes his Constructicon teammates a lot. Practically a mobile chemistry lab, he loves anything that kills, especially poisons and explosives.


Hightower's personality seems to be a combination of Hook and Mixmaster's, the two Constructicons missing from his team. It is currently unknown just what the hell his deal is... only that he is not Hook.


Fiction

Timelines Classics comics

The Classics comics continue from the Marvel G1 comics, but disregard G2 and Marvel UK.

The Constructicons were among the troops that Megatron covertly rebuilt on Earth after Bludgeon's defeat and exile. Both Hook and Mixmaster were curiously absent from team, with the enigmatic Hightower in their place. It's unclear why this was, but Hightower himself joked about stripping enough spare parts off of Grimlock to "build a new Hook." Crossing Over: Part 6

Who am I again?
Classics Hightower is a black and purple redeco of Energon Duststorm and Wideload, and his teammate Classics Long Haul only available as part of the Classics Constructicon Devastator giftset. Hightower's crane arm extends out and can be fitted with a purple claw accessory. In robot mode the crane forms his left arm, and thus his otherwise-normal robot mode is rather awkward.
He can also form a leg or arm to any Energon-series "Powerlinx Combiner" super robot, though his nominal placement is as the huge right boot of Devastator.
