Try to imagine Perceptor and Sky Lynx had a kid...

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

Events from the UK-only comic stories are in italics.

Lured into Scorponok's clutches by Nebulans hypnotised by Mindwipe, Highbrow battled the Horrorcons, but was defeated and also hypnotised. 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. All in the Minds!

During Unicron's attack on Cybertron, Highbrow accidentally got into Cloudburst's way and made him steer into the path of Unicron's flame-breath and explode. Jerk. This caused Highbrow to lose it and perform a full frontal assault on Unicron, who clapped his hands and crushed him. It'd be worse if it happened to someone else. On the Edge of Extinction!

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. The Rebirth, Part 2

"Highbrow" is the name of the combined small Master robot and the larger transtector vehicle/robot body. When separated from his transtector, Highbrow is called Gorter.
