Hook, Line, and Sinker are characters in Marvel's Transformers comics.
The characters were originally low-life criminals from the planet Ghennix. When Ghennix was destroyed by Unicron, the criminals attempted to escape in a small spaceship, but Unicron caught them very easily.
Instead of [...] the criminals, Unicron reformatted them into three powerful assassins, whom he named Hook, Line, and Sinker. Each was given new weapons: Hook (not to be confused with the Constructicon member Hook) has a hook on one of his hands and a harpoon on the other, Line carries a sword and a net, and Sinker has two massive steel balls at the end of his arms.
Hook, Line, and Sinker's first mission was to fetch Galvatron from an alternate timeline. In this timeline, the Decepticons had won against the Autobots in 2009. Galvatron was leading the Pretender Monsters onto a final victory march into New York City, when Hook, Line, and Sinker captured him and brought him to the "real" timeline, into the 1980s.
Unicron intended Galvatron to serve as his chief assassin and Hook, Line, and Sinker to serve as Galvatron's assistant assassins. However, when Galvatron met Emirate Xaaron deep under the surface of Cybertron, he rebelled against Unicron and (at least apparently) sided with Xaaron instead. Through a psychic link, Unicron was immediately aware of this treachery, and sent Hook, Line, and Sinker to kill Galvatron. They failed, as Galvatron killed them instead.
Visualway Design is an advertising agency based in Oulu, Finland.
Visualway Design was founded in 1996 and it has roots in web technology development. It produced its first AJAX-type e-commerce application as early as in 1997. Between 1998-2003 it continued to develop its client-side web-technology mainly for use in website projects. The result was browser-independent, lightweight client-side application called Virtual Browser. Visualway Design filed a patent for Virtual Browser in 2003 and it was granted in 2006.
In 2004 Visualway Design spun-off Helmi Technologies, which continued to develop Virtual Browser and other products based on Visualway technology. By that time Visualway Design had already transformed itself into design oriented full-service advertising agency.
Website and web application production are still an important part of companys activities. However, nowadays Visualway Design's service offering is wider and ranges from conventional to digital solutions in marketing and communications design.
