Hook (Kre-O)

The name or term "Hook" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Hook (disambiguation).

Hook is a Decepticon from the Kre-O continuity family.

Cutting a guy to pieces ALIVE got too creepy to allow him team membership...

Hook is totally the best at building. So he doesn't get to be part of Devastator—he's still a better construction vehicle than all of them and proves it all the time by building stuff like the Kreonsler Building. It would be nice if the other Decepticons like Bruticus didn't laugh at him and knock his buildings over though.

• Decepticon Hook (Kreon Micro-Changer, 2012)
  • Collection: 1
  • Bag number: ***** 48
  • Accessories: Stand-brick, small pistol

Part of the first normal wave of Micro-Changer Kreons, Hook is a 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.

• Constructicon Hook (Kreon Micro-Changer, 2016)
  • Collection: 1
  • Accessories: Stand-plate, small pistol

Re-released in 2016 through "dollar stores" and drug stores, this version of Hook is significantly different from the original. He uses the extensively retooled 2015-style Kreon body, his existing tampographs 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.

These re-releases lack any individual ID numbers on the bags, so you're forced to buy blind or feel for parts through the bag.
