Title:
Tow Line
Description:
Robots in Disguise 2000 Universe
Tow-Line (Deluxe Class, 2023)
Series: Legacy: Evolution
Accessories: Tow-arm, tow hook, left & right exhaust pipes, wheel shield, 2 engine-blower blasters
Known designers: Mark Maher (Hasbro)
A redeco and new-head retooling of Legacy: Evolution Scraphook, Buzzworthy Bumblebee "Robots in Disguise 2000 Universe Tow-Line” transforms into a junk-armored tow truck of made-up model. He is outfitted with a large number of accessories which can all be integrated into both his truck and robot mode in a variety of ways, thanks to the large number of 5 mm post holes on him. His wheels are separated from his stationary hubcaps, meaning any accessories plugged into the rims’ post-holes similarly don’t spin. Like Scraphook, his lower-elbow joints are made of a softer plastic, which often causes his arms to pop when attempting to rotate or transform them, but are just as easily reattached.
Tow-Line’s Evo-Fusion function is analogous to the Weaponizer gimmick from the War for Cybertron Trilogy toylines: his body splits apart to form armor and weapon enhancements for his allies. Unlike previous figures of this nature however, Tow-Line does not need to be disassembled to change from robot to truck and back.
Hasbro marketer Ben MacCrae noted that Tow-Line was Legacy design lead Mark Maher’s number one priority from the beginning of the line, and "Mark says he can die happy now."
This figure arrived at retail in Chile in June 2023, and in the US in mid-July the same year, shortly before Hasbro officially announced the figure at the 2023 San Diego Comic-Con.
This mold was also (heavily) retooled into Axlegrease.
