Tow-Line

Tow-Line is the name of several fictional characters in the various Transformers universes.

Transformers: Robots In Disguise

Working undercover as a tow truck, Tow-Line (Wrecker Hook in Japan) has learned the rules of the road, and now lives by them, punishing any infraction, large or small, and even if a fellow Autobot responsible is responsible. He is well known for the phrase "No parking means no parking!" He's responsible for traffic riot control, and can use his powerful hook to lift and carry anything from a car to a bullet train.

Animated series

Tow-Line first appeared in episode #10, called "Tow-Line goes haywire."

Transformers: Energon

Tow-Line is the name of an Autobot who turns into a van.

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.

Toys

  • Energon Tow-Line
The Tow-Line toy is a homage to the transformation of Generation 1 Ironhide and Ratchet. It was later remolded into Transformers: Timelines Ironhide and Ratchet.
