To put it in terms even your obviously limited intellect can easily understand: " '''Highbrow''' is smarter than you are." No, no, Don't allow your comparably plebeian cerebral encumbrance to strain itself beyond endurance in a futile attempt to grasp the intrinsic universal magnitude of Highbrow's innate mental acuity, for it will bear no arboreal reproductive spheres. The ultrascopic trans-infinate sublimity of his diurnal ponderances transcend the circumference of most sentient species entire thought-spheres, If he does vocalize the notion personally (and you can be certain he will).

The greatest tragedy of his existence is to be clearly so far beyond all those around him, entrapped as they are by their own primitive psyches and abysmal ignorance in a barbaric escalation of pugnacious defenstration and rebuttal. That a paradigmatic mind such as his own should be bound or beholden to a lesser being, especially a rude, primitive swain such as the Nebulan biped [[Gort]] is a supreme and vexing irony.

==Fiction==
===Marvel comics continuity===

He accidentally made Cloudburst fly into the path of Unicron's flame-breath. Jerk. Ten seconds later, he lost it and crashed into Unicron's hands. It'd be worse if it happened to someone else.

===Rebirth===

He was displeased when he discovered Gort was his Headmaster partner. He was hoping for someone who could at least match his own "intellectual capacity". Snob.

===Headmasters animated series===
He probably did something unlikeable here too.

''('''Note''': '''Chromedome''' is one of those fun characters whose American and Japanese incarnations were very different. See individual fiction entries below for continuity specific profiles.)''

:''Italian name'': '''Duobot'''<br>
:''French-Canadian name'': '''Chromédome'''
:''Japanese name'': '''Chrome''' <small>(It is the name for the small Transformer who can transform into Chromedome's head.)</small>

==Fiction==
===Marvel Comics continuity===

Chomedome is an academic at heart. He only joined the war effort after the Decepticons destroyed Cybertron's [[Institute for Higher Programming]] where he did his work. He's tried to use his skills as a programmer to bring an end to the war, but so far has only succeeded in instigating a programming "arms" race. Something of a classic computer programmeing nerd, he's often a frustration to his cool and very image conscious [[Nebulan]] [[Headmaster]] partner [[Stylor]]. He also suggested going on a "Leg Quest" after Matrix-powered Thunderwing ripped his leg off. Funny, funny guy.

===U.S. animated continuity===
'''Voice actor:''' [[Frank Welker]] (US). [[Kunihiko Yasui]] (Japan)

After the Decepticons broke into The [[Plasma Energy Chamber]], unleashing waves of powerful plasma energy, Chromedome was amongst the group of Autobots flung half-way across the galaxy to [[Nebulos]]. After a misunderstanding, namely the Nebulons threatening to detonate magnetic bombs they had attached to the Autobots after their capture, Chromedome willingly became a [[Headmaster]]. He presumably joined the rest of the Autobots in celebration after [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]] was flung into space and a new [[Golden Age]] begun on Cybertron.

===Japanese animated continuity===
'''Voice actor:''' [[Hideyuki Hori]]

====Headmasters====

A small, human-sized Transformer from the colony planet [[Master]], Chromedome proved himself enough to be granted a large [[transector]] body, becoming one of the planet's elite Headmaster warriors. ''(Like all the Japanese Headmasters, the true Chromedome in this continuity is the head-unit, with the body as simply a sort of "power-suit")'' [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress Maximus]]'s 2nd in command and field commander, he is charged with leading a crack troupe of Headmaster soldiers with about one personality between the four of them. Chromedome is notable for often being the guy in charge and being slightly brasher than the rest of this brash lot. Brasher than Armada's [[Hot Shot (UT)|Hot Shot]]. That's pretty darn brash. Brash. He also picked up romancing [[Arcee]] when [[Rodimus]] was on walkabout for a new planet and [[Springer]] was apparently otherwise occupied.
