Mixmaster was voted off the combiner.

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

Classics

Classics continues from the Marvel US series, and does not include the UK stories or any subsequently published stories.

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 2 Crossing Over: Part 5 Crossing Over: Part 6

Who am I, again?

• Constructicon Devastator (Multi-pack, 2007)
  • Accessories: Energon claw, Decepticon-style energon chip

Classics Hightower is a black and purple redeco of Energon Duststorm and Wideload only available as part of the Classics Constructicon Devastator giftset. His teammate Classics Long Haul also uses the same mold. 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.
