Oh dash it all! I was bloody hoping we'd get a Highbrow toy, wot?

 

Cubes

 

Shockwaves background keeps getting better and better.

 

 

whoa

vanished 

 

He probably got tired of the intel game like Hunter in Venture Bros. and changed his identity before going into hiding.

 

Dude, give him some credit, he's making bricks to build his dream home. He's living the Cybertronian dream! Don't steal that from him!

 

Pity, I really liked Highbrow.


I wonder if the show will mention of his disapearnce.

 

Well... I think it's safe to say Shockwave ate him. Poor Highbrow. I'm kinda feeling bad for not paying attention to him in the flashbacks. I am curious about something though. Autobot Intel is considered a higher authority, no? If someone of that status just up and vanished like that wouldn't it seem just a little suspicious?

 

Maybe the disappearance was a 'plausible' one. Perhaps Highbrow announced that he was going on a mission behind enemy lines, and Shockwave tipped the Decepticons off. Hence, Highbrow is never seen again, presumed dead (which he actually is), and Shockwave conveniently assumes leadership of Intel - maybe due to him being a favorite of Highbrow's and deemed most worthy of being successor.

 

*slaps an autobot sticker over my face* I am sure that it is all a coincidence. How likely could it be that a person of station such as Highbrow would be snuffed out in anticipation of Long Arm's promotion? That concept seems highly dubious...

*listens to the energon crickets*

So how about that knicks game on friday?

 

Well... isn't voluntary manslaughter still murder?

 

I didn't think this would be front-page worthy news.

 

So his official name is Highbrow then. Interesting. Seems to be another case of assigning a name to a related character like Slag became Snarl. The design has no resemblance to Highbrow's toy, but has quite a bit in common with Brainstorm.

 

It doesn't?

 

wot? the Animated toys only real diference is the alt mode and general styling

G1

theres no way that yuo can say Animated doesnt resemble the G1 character

 

Now that you mention it Highbrow looks like an amalgam of all the autobot headmasters.
His Chest:

His Legs:

His codpiece

His arms

And his alt mode if I correctly recall


No clue whose head that is though...

 

And without DiCaprio. So, hey, bonus!

 

After the Blurr debacle, I hereby refuse to listen to anything Derrick Wyatt posts. Nothing against him personally, but the misinformation crap surrounding Blurr just irked me something serious. I'd rather just learn the old fashioned way and watch the friggin cartoon.
