I have embedded the video into the news article...

Awesome figure, a definite must-buy for me. Aside from the slight arm issue there's nothing to dislike about this figure. Kind of odd that there's no faction symbol, but that's cool with me even if it's like that on the final toy. Love the propeller gimmick too, was that only recently discovered? For some reason I had the feeling that there wasn't going to be any propeller spin on this one. Also loving Hasbro's focus on flying alt modes lately.

You have to erase everything so that only this part in red satays:

I had to change this because YouTube changed something on their end so the URL didn't work anymore.

I love how involving the transformation is. It truly impressed me as to how everything is pretty much utilized with little waste.

I greatly dislike the following:

The vehicle mode.
The robot mode.
The head.
The arms. (Those propellers and angled arms drive me nuts)

It's a real shame, because he could've been one of my favorites.

So that leaves the box. Do you like the box?

Who doesn't like the box?

Ok...maybe 10% of guys out there don't like it. I'll give you that.

He also posted a Review of Terradive. Watched them both last night.

Overall Highbrow looks cool. I will pick him up once I see him in stores. I'd love to see some box images of him however. That would settle the faction dispute.

I think it is obvious he's part of a new, third faction: the pretzelbots!
...though I guess any group with "bot" or "con" is a subset of the similarly named faction. pretzelcon?

an important issue not covered in this review: can he be half-transformed into a kickplane/gerwalk mode?

Ahahahaha! Great, great comment!

You guys are sharp today! Bravo!

Love the plane mode !!! Hate the stupid face !!! Hopefully a black repaint with a cool head coming...

Not digging him.. Pass.

I like him well enough. Just going by the aesthetics, I'm saying he's an autobot. Movie style Decepticons never have a face that clean. This guy's face is so normal/bland it looks like it belongs on one of those crappy star wars crossovers.

I love his alt mode, but his bot mode has to go. I may consider it if he was all painted black with a different head sculpt and his name would be ZERO!! from the Go-Bots!!

Loving this figure more and more each time I see it. Definately going to pick him up. It's amazing how small he looks in vehicle mode, he's tiny! But then his robot mode is full voyager size. I love it. Also I'm loving the robot mode too, wonkey arms and all. Wish they could have given those wonkey arms to Blackout, I mean, have you seen his arms in the movie and comics? They're at a weird angle around his elbows.

I like this one. I think it's really great that this line has been trying alt modes that Transformers haven't tried before (shut up, Go-bots), and managing to get not only a decent robot mode, but one with devent proportions, as well.

I like the alt mode, but the robot mode is terrible. The child bearing hips are bad enough, but why did they use that damn spinning rotor gimmick? It's not worth screwing up the arms like that.

He actually IS a Go-Bot:

Sadly enough, the transform scheme IS rather similar. But today's toy tech makes its robot mode SOOO much better.
