Wow! He looks identical to a model I put together over 20 years ago. I must get this guy!! did you get him in a store? On-line?? My town is about 1 month behind large cities. But he'll be worth the wait. Highbrow is my favorite Headmaster, now it looks like he'll be my favorite movie vayager as well. Great review! Now we just need a P-40 and B-17 and I'll be content.
Well, at least you know what a P-38 should look like and pointed out this doesn't quite look like that. It looks like an amalgam of two or more aircraft, the Lightning being one. Kinda also see a Granville Brothers Gee Bee in there. Aside from a massive nacelle in the center of the fuselage it's about right for the Gee Bee with the placement of the cockpit well back on the fuselage and the fact that it tilts down as you go towards the cockpit. Wish it looked more like just the P-38 or Just the Gee Bee..
David Hill A lot of old planes have that. The guns are timed to shoot between when the propellers are spinning so that they don't shoot the propellers off.
Haha kinda off topic but spada, did u hear what the next sentia series is based on hahahahahah if u haven't go find out now I was peeing my pants when I did xD
'Nice' placement of his guns on the wings. He would shoot his own propellers to smithereens! The design should have placed them further on the tips of the wings.
A lot of early planes had guns set before the prop, they had timing chains from the engine to the firing mechanism,which stopped them shooting their own props off!
"Guns were behind the propeller fail design" It's based off many World War era planes that positioned the guns behind the propellors. There was no failure in the design; it was carefully planned and engineered.
@@legoawcstopmotioner9435 Correct. This is why World War-era planes had guns timed with Synchronization Gear, so that the guns would shoot between the propellers. One of the chief reasons for positioning the gun directly behind the propellor, is because the gun would sit directly in front of the pilot; he would aim the plane to fire where he wanted. However, in order prevent the propeller from being shot, Synchronization Gear technology was developed.
It's based off many World War era planes that positioned the guns behind the propellors. Because it fired in tandem on a timing chain, the gun would fire in between the propellers as it rotated; it was carefully planned and engineered.
The arms are unforgiveable.It completely ruins this figure.Great alt mode but doesnt make up for the lousy robot mode.It also needs more paint apps.Kind of looks like a knock off.
Impressive. The Lightning is my favorite plane to play as in Strikers 1945, one of my all time favorite Shooters.
The central fuselage is a homage to a P-47, I adore the combination of the bane of the Germans and the bane of the Japanese. Looks amazing
I've seen this video many times. This. Is one of my favorite videos from balt.
Great homage to the original Headmaster - he's a 2-prop WWII aircraft, a bit like the Osprey-looking alt mode for the '87 figure.
love the robot head, amazing looking figure, my life is complete now.
WOW, Crossairs is him!! :O
Why does he remind be of Crosshairs from AOE.
Chicosaurus23 i know!
Maybe Highbrow was intended to have jetfires role in Rotf, then turned down. They probably used the head on crosshairs, which was a good choice.
It's a clash between P-38 and some of the planes from the good ol' PC game Crimson Skies.
The plane mode. It looks like a cross between a P-51 Mustang and a P-47 Lightning. The Mustang part in in the middle.
It's p37 lightning
P-38
He does look cool
highbrow is the coolest i might get him on Saturday and try to transform it because it looks easy
I must have this one. He would be cool to write into fanfiction
Wut?
Not gonna lie, I Googled the P38 plane and this toy (in my opinion) looks way better than the real thing!
they should also create a ww2 b-25 mitchel ,frickin awesome, hasbro needs more ww2 planes!
Interesting plane but the offset fists are just too weird
*ONLY HIGHBROW HUMOR HERE*
I always wondered way planes like that could shoot though the propellers without hitting them....
Still,missing the eyebrows like his predecessors.
And Incenerator from 2007 toyline has nothing on him.
Wow! He looks identical to a model I put together over 20 years ago. I must get this guy!! did you get him in a store? On-line?? My town is about 1 month behind large cities.

He must have been one of the Seekers along with Jetfire.
very good model =D

@Gripen90 actual he is cross of a World War II-era fighter resembling a cross between a P-38 Lightning and an XF5U "Flying Flapjack".
Looks like a steampunk version of a p38
It's p37
he has a battle mask feature too
At first when he was transforming it into vehicle mode i thought it was going to turn out like an x wing off starwars lol hahahah
middle section needs to come forward so that the cockpit is between the wings.
this is awesome man
Love the alt mode. HATE the bot arms... I haven't made a decision yet.
@IXRollOutIX yaa it is hahahah its going to be a lil weird for me.. who would win,a ninja or pirate?? it will be a contrediction!!
where did you get this figure because i looked on toywiz and i couldn't find the figure
Did you forget the battle mask part I was just wondering if it was on the toy they would sell?
I knew it was a P-38!
his alt form is sweet
@BrickUnion758 Wait was Is it based on?
Cool
wheres is his autobot sign ??
Should voyager class highbrow be in Studio series
They need to bring out more world war II transformers!
Maybe the propeller is a shield
btw,were can i get 1?my my lil bros birthday is in 1 week
So. He's not a head master for HFTD?
The propeller is in the way of the guns

Haha kinda off topic but spada, did u hear what the next sentia series is based on hahahahahah if u haven't go find out now I was peeing my pants when I did xD
its awkward how the cockpit is reversed
He sounds an awful lot like optibotimus
@75tffan yes he dose
@piemanbegins yes

A lot of early planes had guns set before the prop, they had timing chains from the engine to the firing mechanism,which stopped them shooting their own props off!
That makes more sense. Still sounds risky to me, though!
Balthazar They did it for two decades before jet engines replaced props. Not one reported case of a plane shooting out its own engine
@@OtakuUnitedStudio Problem is, those were lewis guns, not vulcans.
this is a autobot
@jpf4u atleast now im one step closer! :)
I never seen this figure! God I hate living in Indiana.
If you are looking for a badass figure ____ __ __! fill in the blanks
crosshairs brother
the tighter the better ;D
I prefer Powerdive to this one.
Guns were behind the propeller fail design
But good figure
"Guns were behind the propeller fail design" It's based off many World War era planes that positioned the guns behind the propellors. There was no failure in the design; it was carefully planned and engineered.
Those guns on the wings are rather unfortunately placed.
What do you mean?
@@DPXEntertainment They're right behind the propellers.
@@legoawcstopmotioner9435 Yes, correct.
What is your issue about it?
@@DPXEntertainment Shooting up the propellers isn't very ideal.
@@legoawcstopmotioner9435 Correct. This is why World War-era planes had guns timed with Synchronization Gear, so that the guns would shoot between the propellers.

that aint no p38,thats a p38 on crack that some1 shut the hangar doors on,for god sakes,get it right hasbro!
autobot or decepticon?
Autobot
face looks like rattrap
@Biofan813 pirates hahahahah
can I have highbrow
You enjoy ww2? You love it? 🤨🧐🤔
You forgot it's part shit.
@meowsers450 ut you haven't found the meaning of life yet
Does this thing have high eyebrows
@meowsers450 lool
The placement of those miniguns on the plane mode makes no sense at all, he's going to shoot his own propellers off.
