Hightower (Universe Micromaster)
From MediaWiki
| 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 Decepticon whose continuity of origin is unknown, but who was caught up in the Universe war.
Hightower is one of the six Micromaster Constructicons who combine into Constructicon Devastator, Hightower forming his left arm. He has no bio and appears in no fiction, but because he was released in the Universe line, we assume he was somehow involved in the Universe war. That storyline spans various continuities, so he may or may not be the same character as some other crane named "Hightower" (or green-and-purple crane in general) elsewhere in the multiverse - not to mention the additional one from the Universe toyline.

- A redeco of Iron Lift, Hightower transforms into a crane. He forms the left arm of Constructicon Devastator.
- 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.
