:''Gort is a [[Nebulos|Nebulan]] [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmaster]] partnered with the [[Autobot]] [[Highbrow (G1)|Highbrow]] from the [[Generation 1 (franchise)|Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:Gort MTMTE.jpg|right|200px|thumb|Klaatu barada nikto!]]
The all-American boy of the Nebulan Headmasters, '''Gort''' rose up from a lowly position as stable boy to courageous defender of his planet. The idealistic teenager never has an unkind word for anybody and serves as a shining example of the best the Nebulan Headmasters have to offer.

It's a pity, then, that Gort was partnered with his polar opposite, the elitist snob [[Highbrow (G1)|Highbrow]], who takes considerable offense to being [[Binary bonding|binary bonded]] with what he sees as a mere commoner. Their pairing is among the worst of the Autobot Headmasters, often detracting, not adding, to Highbrow's effectiveness in combat as he refuses to listen to Gort's suggestions except in all but the most life-threatening situations.

==Fiction==
===Marvel Comics continuity===
{{noteukonly}}

[[Image:Kissprimitiveform.jpg|left|200px|thumb|Hi, folks, I'm Highbrow and—what the...?]]
Searching for the inhabitants of the planet Nebulos to give them [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress Maximus]]'s message of peace, Gort's future partner, Highbrow, interrupted the young lad and his girlfriend [[Marita]] engaged in what the Transformer called "[[Kiss|a primitive form of communication]]". Gort panicked and, in his haste to fight off the monster for his lover, tripped and fell into a small pit. Smooth. {{storylink|Ring of Hate!}}

[[Image:Durosdefendmyplanet.jpg|right|150px|thumb|Err...Duros, I think the least you can do is wear pants.]]
When the [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]]-led Decepticons arrived searching for the Autobots and threatened the planet, Gort and four others agreed to undergo the binary bonding process, choosing to combine with Highbrow. {{storylink|Broken Glass!|Broken Glass!}} These new Headmasters were able to fend off the Decepticon attacks, until the Decepticons themselves underwent the process, capturing and imprisoning Gort and the other Autobot Headmasters. {{storylink|Love and Steel!|Love and Steel!}} Realizing the effect the escalating conflict was having on Nebulos, [[Zarak (Nebulan)|Lord Zarak]] released Gort and the other prisoners in an attempt to save the planet. {{storylink|Brothers in Armor!!}}

''Highbrow and his fellow Headmasters were captured by the Decepticon [[Targetmaster|Targetmasters]] as part of a scheme by [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]] to discern the flaws in the Decepticon Headmaster process. Scorponok chose Highbrow as the subject of his experiments, Highbrow being unable to fight back as his mind and Gort's were struggling for supremacy, until Chromedome arrived and managed to convince them to work together, forcing Scorponok to flee.'' {{storylink|Worlds Apart!}}

After the upgrade work on Fortress Maximus was completed as the ''[[Steelhaven (G1)|Steelhaven]]'' travelled to [[Earth]], Gort and [[Duros]] both questioned Galen's intentions and almost power-hungry preparations for war. {{storylink|Trial by Fire!}}

''Lured into Scorponok's clutches by Nebulans hypnotised by [[Mindwipe (G1)|Mindwipe]], Highbrow battled the Horrorcons, but was defeated and also hypnotised. While Highbrow thus suffered from amnesia, the Decepticons attempted to convince him that they were on his side. Gort, however, was unaffected, and when he recombined with Highbrow, the two ripped off Scorponok's head.'' {{storylink|All in the Minds!}}

Much later, during [[Unicron]]'s attack on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], Gort and Highbrow accidentally got into [[Cloudburst]]'s way and made him steer into the path of Unicron's flame-breath and explode. This caused the Headmaster duo to lose it and perform a full frontal assault on Unicron, who clapped his hands and crushed them. Whoops. Let's hope Marita doesn't kill the messanger. {{storylink|On the Edge of Extinction!}}

===Generation 1 cartoon===

[[Image:Rebirth2 Gort.jpg|thumb|left|200px|]]
Gort was the leader of the Nebulan resistance movement. Warned by [[Duros]] and [[Pinpointer (G1)|Pinpointer]] that there were new, advanced [[Hive (G1)|Hive]] machines roaming around, Gort organised the rebels to spring a trap and was surprised to find the machines were being aided by a [[human]]. Though the human, [[Spike Witwicky (G1)|Spike Witwicky]] protested that the Autobots weren't Hive machines, Gort was firm in his opinion that all machines were evil, and was ready to trigger some magnetic bombs to blow the Autobots up. Fortunately for all concerned, the Decepticons attacked before the bombs could be triggered, and Gort ordered the Autobots be set free.

Once the Decepticons had been repelled, Gort related to their visitors the history of Nebulos, and how the Hive had taken over. With few other options, he agreed to [[Brainstorm]]'s plan to combine Autobots and Nebulons. {{storylink|The Rebirth, Part 1}} One the other Nebulons had chosen their partners, he was left with Highbrow — not his first choice, and Highbrow was even less enthusiastic about it. Still, the pair was soon proving themselves against a Hive machine. Gort pointed out the machine's vulnerable point and suggested that Highbrow introduce his fist to it. Though [[Arcana]] worried that the Hive would know of their activited, Gort boldly invited them to bring it on. {{storylink|The Rebirth, Part 2}}

Returning to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] with the Autobots, Gort led his men in separating from their Autobot partners to make a run for the [[plasma energy|Plasma Energy Chamber]], in an attempt to prevent [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]] from opening it. Although unsuccessful, he and Arcana modified the polarity on Galvatron's giant rocket engine from blow to suck, enabling the creation of a new [[Golden Age]] on Cybertron.

Later returning to Nebulos with the other Headmasters, Gort announced that they'd bring an end to the Hive machines. {{storylink|The Rebirth, Part 3}}

*'''Highbrow with Gort''' (Headmaster, 1987)

: Gort transforms from an armored humanoid into a robot head. Though he only came with his partner, Highbrow, in head mode, he is compatible with any other Headmaster body. On the larger Headmasters, he gives three of Highbrow's [[Tech Spec]] stats in their display window, but the smaller ones still display their normal heads' stats due to their construction.

64.12.116.135: /* Wave IV */

This line of 3" Transformers was originally available in smaller "Market Six" chain stores like Meijers for around $3.99, although later waves were available at Toys "R" Us and K-Mart. The molds are scaled down versions of [[Cybertron (franchise)|Cybertron]]-original figures, with less detail and different transformations.

Later, the molds were repainted in G1-style color schemes for the ''Classics'' line.

''Note: There is some confusion as to the actual name of the price-point. It was variously solicited online as'' Cybertron All-Stars, Cybertron Micro Series, ''and'' Legends of Cybertron. ''However, both the'' Classics ''versions and Hasbro Toyshop now list the figures as being'' Legends ''class, so that title seems to have won out.''

Daniel Witwicky (G1)

2006-08-11T03:16:48Z

64.12.116.135: /* The Headmasters */

[[Image:Dannigun.jpg|thumb|Give a boy a gun and you arm him for a day. Teach him how to '''make''' a gun... and the whole metaphor breaks down]]

''Daniel Witwicky is a human in [[Generation 1]] continuity.''

'''Daniel Witwicky''' is the human son of [[Spike Witwicky|Spike]] and [[Carly|Carly Witwicky]]. He is approximately 12 years of age in 2005, and was presumably born sometime between 1990 and 1993. He is the grandson of [[Sparkplug Witwicky]].

Daniel often gets into trouble, which requires either his father or the [[Autobots]] to save him.

Daniel is the [[Headmaster]] partner to [[Arcee (G1)|Arcee]].

=Fiction=
===Generation 1 Cartoon===
'''Voice actor:''' [[David Mendenhall]] (US), Mayumi Tanaka → Masumi Gotō → [[Tomiko Suzuki]] (Japan)

In the year 2005, Daniel appeared to be in the care of [[Hot Rod (G1)|Hot Rod]] at [[Metroplex (G1)|Autobot City]] while his father was preparing for an assault on the [[Decepticon]]-held planet [[Cybertron]] from [[Moonbase 1]].

Following a brutal Decepticon attack on the city (in which he was almost killed), Daniel tearfully witnessed the death of [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]], sobbing on the fallen commander's hand as the color left his corpse.

Escaping from a second Decepticon attack, Daniel and a group of Autobots were stranded on [[Junkion (planet)]], where Daniel donned his father's old exo-suit to weather the harsh environment. He did not get much time to enjoy the suit, as yet ''another'' Decepticon assault left [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]] dead and stirred the native [[Junkion|Junkions]] into violent action. Daniel proved his worth in this battle by smacking Junkion leader [[Wreck-Gar (G1)|Wreck-Gar]] with an I-beam, saving a prone [[Springer (G1)|Springer]].

Hostilities with the Junkions were settled with the arrival of Hot Rod and [[Kup (G1)|Kup]], Ultra Magnus was revived, and a brief celebration was held wherein Daniel showed he could boogey down.

Daniel joined the combined Autobot-Junkion attack force in the assault on [[Unicron]]. He was on the ship that plunged into Unicron's eye, and soon became separated from the main Autobot group. As luck would have it, he ended up in Unicron's acid-based digestion center, where he was able to save his father, [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]], [[Jazz (G1)|Jazz]], and [[Cliffjumper (G1)|Cliffjumper]] from certain death.

Daniel and the rest soon met up with the other Autobots inside of Unicron. Everything around them was exploding! And then came this [[Rodimus Prime (G1)|Rodimus Prime]] guy. Spike and Daniel hopped into his front seat, all of the Autobots drove out of Unicron's undamaged eye, ''through space'' (!), and back to Cybertron as Unicron blew up. Daniel looked on as Rodimus gave a heroic speech.

Daniel would subsequently be around to watch his father get kidnapped by [[Sharkticon (G1)|Sharkticons]], witness [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]]'s revival as a zombie, become the subject of a Quintesson dream/reality experiment, try to determine Ultra Magnus's birthday, bring a mad Quintesson wizard to justice, and steal [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]]'s transforming cog.

Following those adventures, Daniel took on the role of "chew-toy" and was seriously injured in an attack by [[Snapdragon (G1)|Snapdragon]] and required extensive life support. [[Arcee (G1)|Arcee]] volunteered her own systems to assist in saving Daniel's life. Her head was reconfigured into an [[exo-suit]], and allowed Daniel to become Arcee's [[Headmaster]] partner.

Daniel is good friends with both [[Wheelie (G1)|Wheelie]] and [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]].

===The Headmasters===

''(The Headmasters anime ignores the events of the 3-part "The Rebirth" story arc.)''

In 2011, Daniel seemed to be somehow regressing in both age and maturity, looking and acting a good deal younger than in the movie or the previous season of the cartoon. He hung out with [[Wheelie (G1)|Wheelie]] a whole lot more than was probably healthy, and the two shared constant adventures. In fact, at one point, Daniel and Wheelie defeated [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]] by tricking him into trying to walk a rope bridge across a deep gorge.

As the series progressed, Daniel changed from a snot-nosed little cry-baby into a responsible young man. These coming-of-age adventures included traveling alone to a robot-killing asteroid, befriending the murderous psychopath, [[Sixshot (G1)|Sixshot]], and finally rescuing his Mom from inside a narrow crevice she had tumbled into, injuring herself.

Real men don't cry, Danny.

===The Headmasters Manga===

[[Image:DanielWheelie.jpg|left|200px|thumb|I find this picture works better WITHOUT the captions.]]

Shortly after [[Scorponok (G1)|Mega Zarak]] and the Decepticons were driven from Earth, [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundblaster]] showed up and took Daniel's family hostage. Not havin' none-a that, Daniel finally snapped. He went insane and took on both [[Slugfest (G1)|Slugfest]] and [[Overkill (G1)|Overkill]] in a bare-knuckle brawl, defeating the pair of Cassette dinosaurs and leaving Soundblaster open to an attack from [[Chromedome (G1)|Chromedome]].

===Marvel Comics===
[[Image:Danieluk.jpg|right|thumb|Sweet sixteen.]]

In 2009, the [[Terrorcon (G1)|Terrorcons]] and the rest of the Decepticons rampaged across Earth unhindered, and Daniel and his father Spike were rescued from the carnage by [[Kup (G1)|Kup]]. Kup brought them to Autobot City, where Daniel convinced [[Hot Rod (G1)|Rodimus Prime]] that he wasn't devoting enough resources towards defending Earth.

===Universe: The Wreckers===

[[Image:Wheeliewreckers.jpg|100px|left|thumb|Making Daniel badass risks destroying reality as we know it.]] Daniel detonated an explosive to destroy a legion of [[Nightbird (G1)|Nightbird]] drones, killing himself and [[Wheelie (G1)|Wheelie]] in the process. This event caused [[Arcee (G1)|Arcee]] to enter a deep depression, setting the stage for her personality change as she became a Wrecker.

===Dreamwave Generation 1===

Daniel could be seen running around his home with his father, Spike. He wears pajamas to bed.

===Coloring Books===
In ''The Lost Treasure of Cybertron'', [[Buster Witwicky]] and [[Jesse]] were portrayed as Daniel's parents. Daniel, however, looked the same as he always did.

=Toys=

===Generation 1===
*A pink [[redeco]] of [[Chromedome (G1)|Chromedome]] as Headmaster Arcee was considered by Takara at one time. Presumably Daniel would have been the Headmaster partner.

===Super Figure Collection===
*A PVC figure of Daniel in his exo-suit was released in Takara's Super Figure Collection series.

=Additional notes=
* In Japanese continuity, it is not explained why Daniel did not seem to age between the animated film, which took place in 2005, and their season three, which took place in 2010. To the contrary, in Headmasters his mental age seemed to regress.
