If you just can't get enough of Hunt for the Decepticons Highbrow, we've got a solution to your problem. HK-TF.com member L-U has posted an in-depth gallery of the upcoming Voyager Wave 3 release. Modeled after the Lockheed P-38 Lightning, a WW2 fighter plane, Highbrow's got twin propellers, much like his Generation One Counterpart! Talk about homaging! We've got some images mirrored below, while the rest can be seen over at HK-TF.

If you want to talk Homages, Highbrow is a perfect update to Gobot Bolt

He looks very cool, in plane mode, my only gripe are those fists angled strangely. But I'm definitely going to try and find him when he's out.

Nice find Overcracker! Kind of wish his name was Bolt instead of Highbrow..

Thanks, he's gonna be Bolt to me. Now we need a Bentwing homage to go with him.

IF I get him...that face must go....
His vehicle mode looks great though.

I love that face; more particularly the goggles/mask though....

Looks like a great figure to me. I'll definitely be keeping an eye out for him.

We saw some images a few weeks ago, and the bot mode did nothing for me at that point. It must have been the lighting or the angles or something, because I am seriously digging this figure now.

I don't know why but for some reason he reminds me of Beastwars Transmetal 2 Cybershark I'm definately picking this autobot up the arm's look a bit weird but I can look past that I also want him because of his gatling gun accessories nothings more awesome then automatic firearms well except giant robots fighting eachother

Well, it's mostly that this is a movie figure but has no movie styled face. If it weren't meant to be movie then I wouldn't have a problem with it. I know they're trying to go for a mixed look, but they did great on TerraDive, why not this guy I wonder?

I was thinking that too. I don't even really mind the awkward fists so much now.

Looks more like a plane from Crimson Skies

I like the head sculpt and goggles. Not so keen on the color scheme though. Really curious to see what he's repainted into.

I really like his alt mode, and his head sculpt has grown on me after watching Peaugh's review and looking at these pics. My only gripe is the way his arms are in robot mode. But I can live with their design. I'll definitely try to pick him up when I see him.
