| − | The snob of the Constructicons, '''Hook''' considers 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. Hook cannot understand the frustration at the delays this causes, he just sees it as doing the job right. |

Hook and the other Constructicons were immediately given a mission upon their coming online -- construct a communications tower to transmit a message to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. A truckstop was raided for raw materials, which attracted the ire of trucker [[Bomber Bill]], who, with the aid of the [[Autobot]]s, managed to destroy the tower Hook and the other Constructicons had built. {{storylink|The Next Best Thing to Being There!}} |

Springer to transform Autobot City (presumably into the robot mode of the giant Autobot Metroplex)
I don't think there's any evidence of that parenthetical supposition. Is there? JW 01:21, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
No, but some backwards reasoning suggests it: according to one of the alterations made after I created this page, the Decepticons' first strike probably took out Metroplex's transformation cog, preventing the Autobots from converting the city to robot mode. Personally I don't buy that explanation either, but given they did a TV episode on the subject later (referenced in the article on the cog) I was just retconning the article to reflect it.
Although I see the point you're probably making: to transform Autobot City into Metroplex might well have resulted in some injuries and deaths given a solid number of Autobots were inside the city when it would have gone to robot mode.
