Tow-Line (Energon)

Let's see what you can see... This article is in need of images.

Tow-Line isn't the strongest Autobot, but what he lacks in muscle he makes up in cleverness. He can out-think and generally out-last most opponents, preferring to use his brains to prevent conflicts, skills that have made him one of Optimus Prime's most trusted team members.

I want to tell you about the Transformers! This character article is a stub and is missing information on their fictional appearances. You can help Teletraan I: The Transformers Wiki by expanding it.

Timelines

After the evacuation of Cybertron due to the Unicron Singularity, Tow-Line served as a crew member on the Iron Hope. He installed transwarp jump coordinates on the computers of the six scout ships searching for the lost Autobot colonies. Force of Habit

• Tow-Line (Deluxe, 2004)

Tow-Line transforms into a large utility van. In robot mode, his lower vehicle portion becomes a mobile battle/repair platform. He can fold his legs back and up over his shoulders (hello!) and re-attach to this platform for a "battle mode". In this... ahem, position, Tow-Line can also form the top half of a two-robot "Powerlinx combiner" with any Energon Deluxe Autobot, and any of them can also use his platform for their own combination.

This mold was retooled to make BotCon 2005's versions of Generation One Ironhide and Ratchet.

Notes

• Tow-Line seems to be a melange of homages. The obvious one being to Generation One Ironhide/Ratchet (which the mold was used make, as noted above), though his head also bears a passing resemblance to Skids. His van mode even has the red stripe pattern. (HOORAY BEER.)
