| This article is about the Nebulan scientist. For the American trucker, see Ginrai. |
- Hi-Q is an Autobot Nebulan who forms the Powermaster engine of Optimus Prime in the Generation 1 continuity family. He is sometimes known as Ginrai.
A genius in computer programming and design, Hi Q was renowned on Nebulos. The Hi Q Industrial Research Complex, named for him, produced many of technological innovations that dramatically improved the quality of life on the planet. Definitely more of a thinker than a fighter, he provides Optimus Prime with more than just power. Scientific skill, wisdom, and sage advice are perhaps his greatest contributions.
