The name or term "Highbrow" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Highbrow (disambiguation).
Highbrow is an Autobot from the 2010 Transformers toyline.
"Incinerator ain't got nothing on me!"

With age comes experience, and in Highbrow's case, that's a lot of combat experience. He has ended up fighting many seemingly unwinnable battles in his lifetime, but nobody has managed to take him out just yet. Highbrow may be old, but he's far from frail.

Highbrow transforms into a World War II-era fighter resembling a P-38 Lightning, with some influence from the Blohm & Voss P.170 design study. In robot mode he features a flip-down battle mask and is armed with two removable non-firing gatling guns on 5mm pegs and propellers on his forearms, which are geared to spin if you press down the engines. Strangely, he does not have a faction symbol in either mode, something of a rarity among modern Transformers.


Notes

  • Highbrow's battle mask resembles the goggles and headgear of a WWII American fighter pilot. The lens of the goggles are made of a clear plastic, allowing one to see Highbrow's eyes when the mask is down.
