Gort is a <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Nebulos" title="Nebulos">Nebulan</a> <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Headmaster_%28technology%29" title="Headmaster (technology)">Headmaster</a> partnered with the <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Autobot" title="Autobot">Autobot</a> <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Highbrow" title="Highbrow">Highbrow</a> in the <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Generation_1_%28franchise%29" title="Generation 1 (franchise)">Generation 1</a> continuity family.

[[Image:|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 <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Highbrow" title="Highbrow">Highbrow</a>, who takes considerable offense to being <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Binary_bonding" title="Binary bonding">binary bonded</a> 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.

[[Image:|left|200px|thumb|Hi, folks, I'm Highbrow and—what the...?]] Searching for the inhabitants of the planet Nebulos to give them <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Fortress_Maximus_%28G1%29" title="Fortress Maximus (G1)">Fortress Maximus</a>'s message of peace, Gort's future partner, Highbrow, interrupted the young lad and his girlfriend <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Marita" title="Marita">Marita</a> engaged in what the Transformer called "<a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Kiss" title="Kiss">a primitive form of communication</a>".

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.</i> <span style="border-style: solid; border-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-width: 0pt 1px; padding: 0pt 5px; font-size: 10px; background-color: rgb(236, 236, 236);" class="tt1_nowrap"><a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/All_in_the_Minds%21" title="All in the Minds!">All in the Minds!</a></span>

• 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 <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Tech_Spec" title="Tech Spec">Tech Spec</a> stats in their display window, but the smaller ones still display their normal heads' stats due to their construction.
