Fiction
Revenge of the Fallen: Unite for the Universe
When Starscream used the Unite process to power himself up and challenge Megatron's leadership, Ratchet was dispatched with a weapon that would fry the Unite components and neutralize the threat. Highbrow and Tomahawk flew escort for the NEST plane carrying Ratchet to the battle zone. The Strongest Weapon
Toys
Transformers (2010)
- Highbrow (Voyager Class, 2010/2011)
- Japanese ID number: AA-11
- Accessories: 2 gatling guns
- Highbrow transforms into a World War II-era fighter resembling a P-38 Lightning. 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. His robot-to-vehicle instructions completely forget the "fold cockpit back into place" step (which would go between steps 14 and 15), but fortunately it's pretty obvious. 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 lenses of the goggles are made of a clear plastic, allowing one to see Highbrow's eyes when the mask is down.
