We assume the name is a joke.

A K•B Toys exclusive, he was sold on an individual card with the hips and upper legs to Constructicon Devastator. He and the other Micromaster Constructicons were also ultimately available from Sears during Christmastime, and K-Mart's online store.


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.
