- Hook is aDecepticonConstructiconfrom theGeneration 1 continuity family.
The snob of theConstructicons,Hookconsiders himself an artist. He looks upon the rest of the Decepticons almost as peasants, beneath him to a degree. Though full of himself, Hook is a master craftsman, having truly earned his insufferable ego. His high standards that he holds himself and others to means he takes extra care to ensure even the most simple of jobs is completed to the nth degree of perfection. AlthoughMegatronacknowledges Hook's incredible skill, he gets impatient with the time it takes Hook to finish his work. Hook cannot understand the frustration at the delays this causes, he just sees it as doing the job right.
Hook condescends to join his fellow Constructicons in formingDevastator.It is only fitting that he should form the head and shoulders. He has at least once stooped so low as to take Scrapper's place as Devastator's right leg.

"Uh oh. He's waking up. Better get him back to the subway station."
The Constructicons then built a giant drill to tap intoEarth's core,although Hook had to reprimandScavengerfor almost messing it up. During the mission, however, the Constructicons gotdominator diskssnuck onto them by a group of Autobots, withWheeljackblasting one onto Hook with his shoulder cannon. When the Constructicons next formed Devastator, the Autobots activated the disks, taking control of the combiner and forcing him to defeat the other Decepticons. They then took Devastator back toAutobot headquarters,where Hook separated from him to help repairJazzwhile simultaneously bragging about his skill. Eventually, Megatron nullified the dominator disks' effects, bringing the Constructicons back into Decepticon control just in time to stop their own out-of-control drill from destroying the planet.The Core
Hook, led byScrapper,convincedHoistandGrapplethat they wanted to aid the two Autobots in a construction project to build aSolar Power Tower.Megatron was not at all happy to hear about this, but the Constructicons explained that it was just a ruse, and that they would turn the tower over to him when it was complete. They did, but the structure was subsequently ruined in a battle between Devastator and an attacking force of Autobots.The Master BuildersA few Constructicons, including Hook, came with Megatron as he searched for theircrashed spaceshipin the jungles ofSouth America.When they found it, Hook let Megatron borrow hiscyber-forcepsso that he could cut loose the ship's power source, theHeart of Cybertron.Next, Hook was ordered to install the Heart inside Megatron himself, which he did flawlessly.Microbots

Everyone but Scrapper ended up getting lost in their own maze, but eventually found their way back to Blitzwing and demanded their share of the bargain. When Blitzwing refused, they merged into Devastator and attacked him, but soon enough Megatron returned and defeated both of them.Triple TakeoverWhen Starscream went against Megatron with hisCombaticons,the Constructicons were called in against them, but Devastator was defeated quite utterly byBruticus.Starscream's Brigade
Present at theBattle of Autobot City,Hook helped to breach the Autobot defenses as part of Devastator, who withstood an Autobot attack. Despite a second attack by the Dinobots, Devastator managed to hold his own against them before eventually disassembling. Following Megatron's final battle with Optimus Prime, Hook rushed to his leader's side, but stood by silently as Starscream kicked the mortally injured Megatron and then followed the Air Commander's call for a retreat. Later, when Starscream volunteered himself as leader of the Decepticons after flushing Megatron into the vacuum of space, Hook and the other Constructicons contested his claim, arguing their ability to merge into Devastator made them the proper leaders.Soundwavethen claimed superiority over the combiner group, Hook responded that the communications officer was an uncharismatic bore and that nobody would follow him.Rumbledid not take kindly to his comments.

In the year2010,Hook participated in a Decepticon attack on the planet Feminia. He and his team merged into Devastator in order to battle alongside Bruticus and Menasor against their Autobot counterparts Superion, Defensor and Omega Supreme. The fight was fairly evenly matched until Galvatron called up his ace-in-the-hole,Predaking,whose power was unmatched by any of the Autobots... except for theOmnibots,who essentially tied Predaking's shoelaces together until he fell over, straight into Devastator and his chums, sending them all toppling to the ground and knocking them to bits.The Story of Super Robot Lifeforms: The Transformers #5

Nine million years ago, Hook was a member of the construction team that builtCrystal City.It was during this project that he and his fellow Constructicons were introduced toOmega Supreme.Hauler'sWings of HonorprofileHailed for his technical genius and skill, Hook soon came to take command of all Constructicons and formed his own faction. He aligned himself with the Decepticons in order to maintain access to Kaon's smelting pools, which granted him access to the raw building material he needed to continue his work. Unhappy with this arrangement, seven renegade Constructicons went underground, building Megatron in an attempt to take power for themselves. Unfortunately for them, Megatron turned on them and formed his own group of Decepticons, eventually brainwashing Hook and the others into his service with the Robo-Smasher.Devastator'sWings of HonorprofileAmong their first acts as Decepticons, the Constructicons destroyed Crystal City.Hauler'sWings of Honorprofile

The Constructicons were sent into frigidYukonterritory to work on a secret project. They were discovered byJazzandHoist,only for the two Autobots to accidentally betray their presence with an accidental weapons discharge. The Constructicons chased down the interlopers, blasting at them through a nearby forest. During the chase, they merged into Devastator in an attempt to overtake the pair. While in this form, they were duped into blasting a hydro-electric dam. Realizing what was coming, the Constructicons only had time enough to separate before the concrete structure collapsed, unleashing a torrent of water. The Constructicons were submerged in the flood, allowing the Autobots to escape.The Mission
WhenGalvatroncame back in timeto1986,he summarily dispatched Megatron and forced the Constructicons to help him in constructing a massive energy cannon which would be useful to him in the future.

Marvel Storybooks continuity
Under the guise of theGlobal Corporation,Hook and his fellow Constructicons created sophisticated buildings all around the world. Within each building, however, was hidden a mechanism that would trap underground all within the structure. When the scheme was put into motion and the Autobots responded with an attack, Hook and his fellow Constructicons merged to become The Devastator. Though in this form, the Constructicons were able to overpower the Autobots, that changed when the Dinobots arrived. Hook and Scrapper were the first ones to die by Swoop's hand, when the Dinobot bombardier released missiles in Devastator's face at point-blank range.Battle for Earth
As Devastator, Hook and the other Constructicons stumbled uponSunstreakeradmiring his reflection in the wilderness, and managed to capture the vain Autobot. The group revealed their individual components to their prisoner once he was safely locked up within Decepticon headquarters. They rejoined forces to combat an Autobot rescue party that attempted to storm Decepticon base, and capturedSlag,Sludge,andSideswipeas well, putting them in Sunstreaker's cell. Pleased with the development, Megatron informed Hook that he would be charged in rebuilding the captured Autobots as Decepticons. Bonecrusher interjected, hoping to be the one to be allowed to destroy the Autobots prior to their reconstruction. Hook objected, claiming that he should be the one to destroy them. The two Constructicons began to squabble, prompting Megatron to break up the fight by promising them each an Autobot to destroy. The opportunity never came, however, as the Constructicons were once more prompted to combine into Devastator to contemplate an Autobot peace offering; a life-sized statue of the gestalt! The peace offering turned out to be an Autobot ruse, and reinforcement burst forth from within the statue. The Autobots forced Devastator to break up into his component pieces by thoroughly dividing his attention, and so Hook joined the fight against the Autobots as an individual. The Decepticons ultimately lost the battle to the Autobots.The Autobots' Secret Weapon

Shockwave led the Constructicons in an attack on a human village, intent on razing the town and building a fuel plant in its place. The Constructicons, blindly loyal to Shockwave, obeyed all his orders as he dispensed them. Little did they know, the Decepticons were being spied upon from orbit by the AutobotCosmos.Cosmos relayed what was happening to his teammates, who rolled into action to put an end to the Decepticons' plot. Hook and his allies were beaten up, shoved down into a pit, and had quick-drying cement poured over them to hold them in place.The Autobot Spy in the Sky
When the Decepticons learned that the Autobots had long ago lost a large shipment of Energon cubes at the Ark's original crash site, Galvatron ordered them to head to Mt. St. Hillary to uncover it.

Earthquake
Hook was brought the remain of the Autobot Beachcomber, who had attempted to infiltrate the Decepticons’ newest secret fortress. Megatron then ordered Hook and Mixmaster to rebuild the Autobot, but replace his memory chip with a Destructicon chip, creating the perfect Decepticon double-agent. The pair botched the job, and Beachcomber was sent off with his mind untampered.Earthquake
Desert Flight
Hook was part of a Decepticon deployment stationed in a desert base. The Decepticons plotted to lure the Autobots in a trap through the use of an anti-gravity beam. Using the beam on a nearby human settlement, the Autobots would be duped into coming to the fleshliness’ rescue, only to be themselves trapped by the effects of the beam. Hook was in charge of manning the gravity gun.
In the event that the Autobots used a trojan ruse to infiltrate the Decepticon base, and the Decepticons’ forcefield was disabled, a wayward shot from Megatron revealed to the Autobots both the gravity gun and Hook's location. Turning the gun about, Hook caught Optimus Prime in the gravity-nullifying ray as the Autobot leader led a charge towards him.
IfBuddy,the Autobots’ current human companion who had snuck up to the gravity gun's control panel, pulled the gravity gun's horizontal control just as Hook turned the weapon to full power, the weapon would swivel and catch Megatron in its beam, tearing the Decepticon leader to pieces.
If Buddy instead cowered away, Cosmos came to Optimus worked together to commandeer the gravity gun from Hook, knocking him aside.
In a completely different possible sequence of events, Hook was assigned to create a perfect duplicate of Cosmos, who had been taken prisoner by the Decepticons. Hook would then conceal a proton bomb within the duplicate, that would explode when the false-Cosmos reported to Optimus.
In many other outcomes, Hook got clobbered while he was guarding the anti-gravity gun.Desert Flight
Autobot Alert!
In one possible scenario, the Constructicons were responsible for building the Decepticons’ command centre in the evil robots’ latest plot of taking over the Earth. They also were responsible for stocking Astrotrain with explosives and weapons before the Decepticon shuttle launched into space to further sabotage Earth's satellites.
In a different possible scenario, the Constructicons joined Galvatron on his campaign to retrieve an ancient cybertite sphere containing the secret of an ancient Autobot power-booster. Discovering that the sphere was within a sunken ship off the California coast, the Constructicons merged into Devastator in order to retrieve it.Autobot Alert!

Nine million years ago, Hook and the Constructicons were helping Megatron in his plot to turn Cybertron into a mobile juggernaut, raging throughout the universe. He defended the engine controls alongsideThrustandRumbleagainst Grimlock's commandos, but eventually gave up and scattered before the big boom.The War Within #6Sometime later, he and the Constructicons were the first to break theCrisis Intervention Accordduring the Dark Ages, joining up withRatbatand theUltraconsin their Devastator form, and doing battle withDefensorand theWreckersin theTagan Heights.EscalationThe Constructicons were eventually defeated when the Protectobots overloaded him with electricity, shutting him down and forcing him to split into his individual components.... though not before the conflict devastated a large portion of Cybertron's biggest manufacturing area.Devastation
At some point after the initial launch of theNemesis,Hook and the Constructicons wound up on Earth during the 1980s and began working with Megatron and his faction of Decepticons on that planet. Unfortunately, they were eventually captured and detained duringOperation Liberationin 1998, when the united human and Autobot forces brought them down. Earth's triumph turned to tragedy in 1999, however, as the initial flight of theArk IIback to Cybertron exploded in mid-air, apparently destroying all the Transformers on board. When the Decepticons awoke in 2002, Hook was part of the initial assault onSan Franciscoalong with the rest of the Constructicons as Devastator.Prime Directive #4Despite their victory over the counterpart combiner,Superion,the Constructicons were eventually brought low byOptimus Primehimself.Prime Directive #5
Soon revived by Starscream's good graces, Hook and the Constructicons loyally served under the former Decepticon lieutenant commander after Megatron disappeared off the face of the Earth. The "spin the bottle" leadership of the Constructicons apparently fell to Hook in these days, and he and his team began operating out ofLas Vegas,where Starscream had set up a base of operations called "New Centurion", after his home city-state on Cybertron. In defending New Centurion, Hook coordinated his dutiful minions Scrapper and Mixmaster against the invading forces ofGrimlockand his Autobot comrades. The lofty Constructicon attempted to direct the battle from the air, butProwlmanaged to knock Hook out of the sky, physically grappling with him and pulling the surgeon down to the ground below. Then Grimlock stepped on his head. It hurt. A lot.Hardwired
Megatron eventually returned to Earth, but Hook and the Constructicons owed Starscream for reconstructing them, and so remained loyal to him when the Decepticons split into two factions. Of course, this only meant they were among the first to be captured by theKeeperswhen those aliens took over Las Vegas and turned Starscream into their puppet. Trapped behind an impenetrable force dome, Hook and the Constructicons attempted to batter their way out as Devastator using sheer brute force, untilSkywarpoffered a better idea. Reconverting into their separate modes, the Constructicons dug a tunnel out beneath the force field, enabling Starscream's faction to join the final battle against the Keepers. Acting as Devastator, they were too far away from Optimus Prime and hisMatrix-induced force shield when the American nuclear assault was dropped on the Keepers, and were blasted into pieces.Annihilation
The nuclear blast left Devastator fused into his singularrobot mode,leaving him unable to split back into Hook and his other components. Eventually, Devastator fell into the Void along withOmega Sentinelin the final conflict with the Keepers, and was left instasis lock,drifting in the vacuum of space, after the Sentinel destroyed the Keepers' power source and shattered the Void back into real space-time. The starshipBounty,on a secret space mission from Earth, came across Devastator's remains and planned to tow him back to Earth.Fusion

WhenStarscreamdecided to take leadership of the Decepticons, Hook and the other Constructicons sided with him. They combined into Devastator and attacked Megatron, but failed to kill him due to an attack by human jets.All Hail Megatron #10The jets were soon followed by a unit of Autobots, and Devastator met his match inOmega Supreme.All Hail Megatron #11The battle ended with Devastator getting shot straight through the torso.All Hail Megatron #12
Hook survived the damage done to Devastator's chest, but was captured and deactivated bySkywatch.Two years after the battle in New York, Hook, Mixmaster and several other prisoners were retrieved from Skywatch by a group of Transformers attempting to get off the planet. The group's leader, the AutobotHot Rod,assignedJetfireto bring Hook's consciousness back.A Rude AwakeningThe Autobot was successful, and Hook joined Mixmaster and Scrapper in constructing a starship that was ostensibly for both the Autobots and Decepticons.Seasons in Flight
Of course, things didn't actually work out that way. Unable to convince Rodimus to let him reassemble the Constructicons, Swindle instead applied combiner technology to theStunticons,creatingMenasor.Hook and the other Decepticons turned on the Autobots, and Hook was seen in battle against Optimus Prime. (Losing.) After Menasor was brought down, Swindle escaped from the Autobots and Skywatch along with some Constructicons, possibly including Hook.EarthworksWhen Megatron returned to Earth four months later, Hook rejoined the main Decepticon army. He and the others observed as a lone Optimus Prime confronted Megatron, and was caught in the explosion when Prime had a satellite fall on top of Decepticons.Enemy Mine
Megatron would later usespace bridgetechnology built into in his new body to summon Hook and the rest of the Decepticons to him on Cybertron. To battle the Autobots, Hook and the other Constructicons combined into Devastator, but lost because the giant's right leg was paralyzed due to combining with a dead Scrapper. They were soon mind-controlled byD-Void,viaGalvatron,into combining with Galvatron'sSweeparmy and forming a huge monster.Chaos Part Three: KingsOnce this "Deceptigod"was defeated, the Decepticons were left weakened, and so the Autobots captured them and plantedI/D chipsin their heads. Hook and the others were briefly released to violently deal with aNAILriot.The Death of Optimus Prime
Hook was sitting around in the Decepticon prison whenNeedlenoseandHorri-Bullwere brought in for beating a NAIL.The Autonomy LessonHook was later outraged that the Autobots had the gall to callRatbat's death a "suicide", then recruited along the other Constructicons to dig out some victims from a blast crater.Stick TogetherThe team continued to build things for the Autobots until one day when they foundBombshellbeing chased down by them. Coming to Bombshell's defense, the Constructicons beat upBlurrand fought withArceeuntilProwlshowed up, threatening to detonate their I/D chips. They just taunted him since Ratbat had disabled the chips, but Prowl used a secret passcode to override the tampering and detonate them anyway, seemingly killing the Constructicons.DevisiveIn truth, the Autobot had already fallen under Bombshell's mind-control, allowing the Insecticon to fake the Constructicons' deaths and hide them away for the purpose of perfecting Devastator.The VergeOnce Megatron returned from a long absence, Hook combined with his fellows into the new Devastator—with Prowl serving as the head while Hook relocated to the right leg—who was then deployed to conquerIacon.Before the DawnDevastator was taken apart when Prowl fought back and rejected the combiner, which would have allowed Megatron himself to take his place had the Decepticon leader not been defeated in the process of combining.Heavy Is the Head
The Autobots and Decepticons were exiled from Iacon following the battle, but Hook and the Constructicons, fascinated by the nasty memories they'd seen in Prowl's mind during their time as Devastator, left their faction to join their new idol among the Autobots. One brief scuffle with theDinobotslater, they were allowed to stay at the Autobot camp, where they promptly picked a fight with Arcee before the like-minded Dinobots calmed them down.Second ExodusThey were caught in theNecrotitan's "death wave", but were healed from its effects when the Titan was brought down byMetroplex.Finis TemporisAs the Transformers got together to celebrate the defeat of the Necrotitan, the Constructicons ignored everything in favor of praising Prowl, and later cheered him on when he got into a fight with (as Hook likes to call him) "Clowndome".The BecomingWhen the planet was invaded by a 70 billion-strong army ofAmmonitessent byShockwave,the Constructicons followed Prowl into battle where Hook convinced Prowl they had to form Devastator and protect Metroplex fromMonstructor.Black PlanetThey were victorious, and went on to witness Megatron defect to the Autobots....And the Damage Done
Prowl, who had finally realized the advantages of having a combiner on his side, brought the Constructicons with him to Earth when Optimus Prime went in search of Alpha Trion. The Constructicons saved theArk-7from burrowing human missiles, and formed Devastator to fight the Decepticons under Galvatron's command.Detonation BoulevardAfter the battle they returned to theArk-7alongside the Autobots.The Mind Bomb

Although the individual Constructicons were still considered criminals, Starscream made allowances for releasing his own "loyal to the Chosen One" combiner when necessary.

- First appearance:Galaxies#1
Hook was forged at or around the end of the War of the Threefold Spark. An era of rebuilding and renewal, Hook came together with five other newly forged 'bots to form the Constructicons and help shape the Cybertron to come. They were recruited by the visionary architectTermagaxto help build in the ruins ofIacon.Eager to make a name for themselves, the team promptly clashed with Termagax's conservative second-in-commandWheeljack—for while Wheeljack sought to merelyrebuildIacon, Termagax saw the potential for something bigger and better to take its place. While excavating inRivets Field,the team inadvertently discovered theEnigma of Combination.Urged on by Termagax, Hook and his team agreed to expose themselves to the energies of the artifact, transforming themselves into a new combiner: raw power which Termagax hoped to harness and reshape into the ultimate building tool.Constructicons Rising, Part 1
Despite this new strength and power, Hook and his team struggled to master their combination, fighting against a seventh, destructive personality that surfaced whenever the team combined... and whose love of indiscriminate destruction jeopardized their reconstruction efforts. Finally, however, Termagax encouraged the team to workwiththis anger, rather than against it, and harness the powerful emotion to unite them in their shared purpose of rebuilding Iacon. Although the team would eventually complete their goal of turning the ravaged cityscape into a beautiful metropolis, they would not enjoy the fruits of their labor for long—Wheeljack brought his concerns to the attention ofNominus Prime,and the Prime arranged matters so that the team would be reassigned to the distant colony ofMayalxto oversee the construction of a newenergonrefinery.Constructicons Rising, Part 3There, the Constructicons labored for many years, deliberately kept under-fueled and tired so they couldn't combine, while they grew increasingly resentful of the world that had abandoned them while reminiscing about their glory days.Constructicons Rising, Part 1
With their future on Cybertron uncertain, Scrapper eventually came to believe that the team's future lay elsewhere and began training his teammates in the ways of combat, holding regular sparring sessions in an improvised gladiatorial arena. During one particular session, the team was interrupted by theInsecticonBombshell,who, after a brief misunderstanding, told themhisstory: like the Constructicons, Nominus Prime hadalsobanished the Insecticons for fear of their unique matter-eating abilities. Knowing that the team could be of use toThe Rise,Bombshell manipulated the team into unknowingly aiding the cause, encouraging them to recapture their glory days.Constructicons Rising, Part 2
After some deliberation, the six builders agreed to help the Constructicons, and after filling up on Bombshell's providedenergon cubesthe team combined for the first time since their banishment—but instead of uniting based on their shared urge to create, the Constructicons combined to destroy Mayalx and everything it represented to them, a spiteful, destructive rampage that ended with every 'bot in the colony slaughtered and the statue of Nominus Prime toppled. Unaware that the Insecticons had deliberately goaded them into such wanton slaughter so that the energon they processed from the many remains could be secretly shipped back to Cybertron to fuel the rise, Scrapper told his team that, for the first time in their lives, they were finally free to do and build whatever they wanted.Constructicons Rising, Part 4
Eventually, Shockwave called the Constructicons back to Cybertron and the Rise. When they arrived, however, Shockwave's former superiorExarchonhad laid claim to the Rise and their bases. The Threefold Spark was eager to take a new body as powerful as Devastator, and tried to usurp the combiner. Together, Hook and the Constructicons were strong enough to prevent Exarchon from possessing their collective spark or sparks, though the effort forced them apart and left them out of action.War's End Part FourWith Exarchon soon destroyed, the Rise were fully absorbed into the Decepticons, and Shockwave provided the Constructicons toMegatron's cause. Hook and the others were happy to be home, and to be wanted as Devastator. They saw themselves as heroes destined to end the war, and were happy to oppose the legacy of Nominus Prime.Fate of Cybertron

Something of a perfectionist, Hook considers his fellow Constructicons somewhat crude and dim-witted, as they don't have his exacting standards or attention to detail. Whether it's micro adjustments to a printed circuit or welding together two fifty ton girders, Hook applies the same precision to both tasks.
Though he might not be winning any personality contests anytime soon, Hook's contribution to the war effort shouldn't be understated.Hook bio
Hook was summoned through the Spacebridge on Earth, and proceeds to help Starscream when he leads an operation to claim another piece of the Fractal Map, with a plan to just attack. He told Starscream not to come crying lubricant if he gets all bent out of shape.Power Play Campaign
Hook and the other Decepticons are then called to the final battle for the Codex Key. Before the mission, Megatron comments on how Hook will be "Such a valuable asset" while Hook whines about the situation complaining that everyone "rushes into the fight" and how he himself is running out of spare parts..The Codex Showdown Campaign

Hook then decided to brag about the might of the Constructicons, and was about to combine, but Megatron stopped them, saying that the tunnel they built would collapse.Monster Within
Hook later complained that he, an artist master craftsman, was being used just as a cog in Devastator machinery. The complaints of the other Constructicons made Megatron reconsider that relying solely on Devastator was a serious risk.Breaking Point

Notes
- Like his fellow ConstructiconsLong HaulandScavenger,Hook has ananimation modelgaffe. His robot legs are regularly shown as being entirely gray from the thigh down and more lacking in details than most other Generation 1 animation models for some reason. As the series went on, his legs regularly lost more details, especially in theAKOMepisodes which would sometimes lose the cab on his left leg entirely or render it is as a much larger left foot.
- Hook's gun was used in the toy references photos for both himself and Scavenger, thus leading to the pair wielding similarly designed guns in their cartoon models. Scavenger'sactualtoy gun was absent from all of the Constructicon reference photos, leaving it entirely unused.[1]
- Hasbroapparently lost thetrademarkto the name "Hook" some time ago, as it was not used between 1993 and 2012 despite severalConstructicon-homageteamsappearing during this time. "Hightower"served as the new default crane-bot name in the interim. With the release of the 2013Kre-ODecepticonHook,however, Hasbro has reacquired "Hook", albeit only when prefixed with a "Decepticon" or "Constructicon".
- Hook's original toy is consistently depicted with his chest sticker reversed in the box art.
