EspañolHOOK (TRANSFORMERS)
'Hook' is the name of several characters in the Transformers universes. Due to their inability to trademark the name Hook, Hasbro changed the names of all homages to hook to either Hightower or Wideload.
Hook (Glen in Japan, which is an alternare pronouncation of "Crane" in Japanese) is a member of the Constructicons who transforms into a crane.
With the precision of a fine jewler, Hook performs his job with skill unequalled among the Transformers, whether reconnecting a damaged microchip or setting a two ton girder into place. He's a snobbish, supercilious, unpopular perfectionist who is able to lift 20 tons. As shoulders and head module, combines with fellow Constructicons to form giant robot "Devastator".
Hook debuted with the rest of the Constructicons in the episode, ''Heavy Metal War''. Though Megatron claims to have built the Constructicons, this is disputed when in the episode, ''The Secret of Omega Supreme'', it is revealed that the Constructicons were civilian workers reprogrammed by Megatron's Robo-Smasher device.
Hook was often seen in a leadership role with the Constructicons. It was often confusing to tell who was THE leader as Hook and Scrapper seemed to share this role.
Hook seemed to be the Decepticons version of a doctor, if you could call it that. In ''City of Steel'', Megatron called upon Hook to disassemble Optimus Prime and reconstruct his parts as weapons. In episode #34, ''Microbots'' Hook was also able to install the Heart of Cybertron, a device which powered The Nemesis, into Megatron's systems making him super powerful.
Hook and the Constructicons also built monumental structures. The most notable constructions were a solar power tower designed by Autobot Grapple, as well as Crystal City on Cybertron, which the Constructicons also demolished.
In he was one of the Decepticons to challenge Starscream as leader of the Decepticons, following Megatron's sudden departure. He directly challenged Soundwave, saying that no one would follow an "uncharismatic boor" like him.
★ 'Generation 1 Hook' (1985)
:Based on a Diaclone toy.
★ 'Generation 2 Hook'
:Two different redeco's of Hook were released in Generation 2. One was orange the other yellow.
★ 'Transformers: Classics Hightower' (2007)
:Unable to trademark the name Hook, he became Hightower in the new Classics line.
Hook is the Japanese name of the Mini-Con known as Longarm in Transformers: Armada.
Glen is the Japanese name for the Transformers: Energon character called Wideload.
