Highbrow is an Autobot from the Animated continuity family.

"What an absolute shower!"

Highbrow used to be the head of Autobot Intelligence, and as such, worked on many a secret Autobot project. Wonder where he is these days?

"The thells thea thells by the thea thore.....Drat!"

Millions of years ago, Highbrow and Mainframe worked on the comatose Arcee, trying to recall the sensitive data she had been carrying that was feared lost after her unfortunate encounter with Lockdown. When they called in Ratchet to help, the medic triggered a hidden failsafe that transferred the data to his memory banks. Realizing what had occurred, Highbrow led Ratchet and Ultra Magnus to the room containing Project Omega, explaining that the retrieved data was the final step in completing the Autobots' newest weapon, Omega Supreme.

Notes

• Highbrow appears to be patterned after British actor Terry-Thomas. He is mustachioed, he shares the actor's distinctive gap between his front teeth, and he's jolly well got a delightful caddish British accent, eh wot?

• Derrick J. Wyatt noted on his Twitter feed on March 21 that Highbrow was formerly head of Autobot Intelligence, and that he mysteriously disappeared in the ensuing millions of years since the end of the great war. Gee, I wonder what his replacement thinks about that?
