Highbrow hails from the old days of Cybertron like Ransack and Divebomb, he was also one of the first flying Cybertronians. Like Jetfire, Highbrow turned down the role of a Seeker and sided with the peace loving Autobots. When more flight capable Autobots appeared from the Well of all Sparks he formed a squadron and commanded them, flying numerous sorties and raining terror on Decepticons from above. Highbrow hasn't lost his warrior's edge with age, he can still fly rings around the toughest Decepticons and teach that young whipper snapper a thing or two.
