Highbrow appeared in the 1987 Corgi Book story Swamp of the Scorpion.
Also, Highbrow's deep resentment of being controlled by Gort makes him less than cooperative at times. Weaknesses: Sometimes the thrust of Highbrow's jet engines overpower his rotors, sending him spinning out of control when in helicopter mode. In robot mode, Highbrow uses two acid rainmaker rifles, which shoot streams of highly corrosive acid. He's packed with equipment designed to detect, monitor and record enemy communications target-indicating radar whose signals can be relayed to ground stations magnetic, infrared and audio sensors for detecting enemy robots and vehicles and a variety of anti-detection systems to protect himself. More accurately, Highbrow's designation is a jet helicopter. Gort is the All-American boy of the Nebulan Autobot Headmasters.Ībilities: In helicopter mode, Highbrow has twin three-bladed rotors that enable him to lift up to 22,000 pounds of cargo, and, with the help of two small vectored-thrust turbofan engines, reach a maximum speed of 1200 mph. Young women all over Nebulos are attracted to the boyishly handsome hero, but Gort remains steadfastly faithful to his long-time girlfriend, Marita. He is much admired by his comrades for his earnestness, common sense and courage - except for Highbrow, who finds it a humiliating, humbling experience to be binary-bonded to such a commoner. Spurred by concern for protecting his planet, he overcame his working-class origins as a stable boy for an exclusive Nebulan country club that catered to the aristocracy to join the elite ranks of the Headmasters. He's a cheerful young man with never an unkind word for anyone. Gort, Highbrow's Nebulan partner, is quite a contrast. Highbrow's biggest disappointment in life is that circumstance has forced him to lower himself to participate in the very activity he most loathes - fighting. Highbrow considers himself intellectually superior to the Nebulans and other Autobots. Even Chromedome often finds himself fruitlessly searching through his extensive vocabulary. Although that is doubtful, Highbrow does talk a lot and uses a lot of words that nobody understands. Hardhead claims that Highbrow's voice box burns enough fuel by itself to power all the Nebulan Autobots for a year. He believes civilized folk should talk about their differences, a talent for which he seemingly has an endless capacity. Overall: If you have this mold and aren’t a completist, then you can probably skip Highbrow, unless you just want to display him in the awesome box.Profile: Highbrow considers warfare a barbaric solution to problems, worthy of only the most primitive sentient creatures. I still wish they had given him the triple blades. He’s one of the best helicopter Transformers ever. He uses the Legend face sculpt with a much more G1 accurate paintjob. Previous Mold Use: Titans Return Deluxe Class Highbrow, Takara Legends Deluxe Class Highbrow Hasbro used the G1 toy accurate heads from the Transformers: Legends line, but they used the more G1 accurate paint jobs. (Left to Right: Retro Headmasters, Takara Legends, Titans Return) Having said that, at least they are repainted and not the same toys in new boxes. When I saw pictures, I was thrilled that they were finally reissuing the G1 Headmasters! Then I realized what was actually in the boxes, and I was distinctively less excited. A beautiful G1 box complete with box flap. Transformers: Generations: Retro Headmasters Deluxe Class HighbrowĪ few words about the box.
